We are open for outside dining on our newly constructed and greatly enlarged outdoor dining parklet, which, while still receiving some finishing touches over the next 2 weeks, is fully functional and comfortable, with many many heat lamps, and our commitment to creating a warm, welcoming, and savory experience for you and your guests!

 

In addition, as always, we are open from 5-8 pm Sunday-Thursday and 5-9pm Friday and Saturday for takeout, either pickup or delivery. Please call or order online and we will prepare a wonderful meal for you to enjoy at home.

 

Your safety and comfort are always the most important considerations for us and guide our seating decisions. This is especially true now, while our outside dining area is being re-designed to provide more shelter from winter weather. Consequently, our ability to offer outside dining will be based on the weather, and we will update this page daily with that information, which follows below:

 

Today, March 8, there is no rain forecast so we are firing up our heaters again and will be able to offer a limited amount of outdoor seating for those who would like to join us. Please call us at 805-966-9676 to inquire about availability and reserve a spot if we have an opening at the time you would like. 

 

For pickup, State Street is partially blocked but there is limited parking available  by approaching State Street from Arlington Avenue.
