You cannot help but notice the bright blue tablecloths out in the garden patio of this immaculate European restaurant. Entrees like Veal San Domenico or Chilean Sea Bass are perfectly complemented by a huge array of California wines. The service is efficient. The Hungary-born owner has been in the business for decades. Housed in an old-style Comstock building, the restaurant caters to the discerning customer, one who truly appreciates the variety of aromas that pour out of the kitchen as he or she eats at the table. Bohemian in appearance, the eatery is a favorite among locals.

Great place to take your dog
The food is great here, and the staff is quite attentive (without being in the way). You can bring your dog along and sit in the front patio or in the back. Water for your dog is provided.
