text: I came here for a nice date night with my man. This place definitely lived up to the Yelp expectations. I am truly happy Yelp tool me to this gem. Now onto reviewing.\n\nThe concept of the restaurant is what kind of food you would get if you went to the Chef's house. This restaurant is 1 of 3 sister restaurants in the Valley. (The Mission and Zinc Bistro are the other two if that gives a good baseline for expectations)\n\nThe ambiance is very homey and classic. The inside has baroque wallpaper and chandwliera, and there ia an amazing patio, bigger than the inside dining area. This restaurant keeps the classic feel aince it is the second oldest house in the old town area. \n\nNow onto food.... \nI got the Lamb. It is a pasta with shredded lamb and a juicey sauce and spinach.  It was great mught have ruined all other pasta for me.\nMy bf got the rib eye. Medium rare and cooked to perfection. The whipped garlic was amazing and the best of the three sauces that it came with. \nOn the side it brings some whipped pommes (fancy mashed potatoes for us common folk) they were great but if you are sharing.. I definitely recommend taking the pasta juice and adding it to the potatoes. Yum.\n\nFor dessert we got the Chocolate boudino which is a modern take on a smore. The cookies werent spectacular but the chocolate it self with nuts was great. \n\nDrinks get the express yourself. It has a nice kaluha kick. \nAll in all.. thoroughly impressed. And had a great night.
