Definitely will return for the good food and service. Good aalue too. The charcuterie platter was ample for 4. The Lamb chops were delicious. Decor is a little dated with carpet instead of hard floors but still nice. On-line I only found wines by the glass menu. When I contacted them in a message asking to see the complete wine list, I got a short response "its on-line and there is a $25 corkage fee". So, I brought my own by turns out they have a nice wine by the bottle list, and it wasn't necessary to BYOB. In general, a great place and plenty of parking at the San Sebastien winery (Cocina is on the 3rf floor).
