Gift Tips
- Book ahead for weekend dinners; reservations are commonly needed, and larger parties can arrange a prix fixe menu for smoother service.
- If you enjoy seafood, try the cioppino with generous scallops or the seafood linguini; both are noted for bold flavors and fresh shellfish.
- Steak lovers should consider the ribeye or any featured steak special—guests often highlight how well they’re cooked.
- Start with shareables like crispy polenta fries, calamari, Brussels sprouts, or the Dungeness crab and avocado when in season.
- Pair your meal with a cocktail or wine; their list is broad, and an Espresso Martini with Baileys is a cozy nightcap.
