Really great food in this upscale restaurant on the first floor of the Upham Hotel.

The service was friendly, prompt, and genuine. The setting was on the first floor of the lovely boutique Upham Hotel, decorated with warmth and charm. Food was exceptionally good. I had a an Asian-inspired chicken salad, and my husband had the Asian stir fry. Both Asian dishes, but their menu is far from limited to this genre. The food was excellent- quintessential California. Flavors were fresh and created "just right," portions substantive. There was a group of 7 of us (Slow Trav GTG lunch), and we had a nice area to eat that afforded us a cozy space to talk and laugh. But this is also a romantic restaurant, too. Prices are reasonable; I would recommend reservations.
