What a great experience, from service to ambiance to food to wine selection. Backbone hit all the notes and very much looking forward to going back to experience more of the menu. We ordered the Grilled Octopus, Butternut squash Agnolotti, New York Strip with Braised Short-rib and Seasonal Pumpkin dessert. All around a great meal and the wine selection is excellent. So lovely to have an elegant restaurant in the neighborhood with an upscale/refined menu. While we live in La Cañada, this is hands down our new favorite restaurant in the surrounding area. read more
