    We had the rare treat of experiencing the Tasting Menu created, prepared and presented by Chef Julian. I recommend choosing a Tuesday or Thursday night. Chef explained each dish with such clarity as only a gifted chef of his talent, skill and far ranging knowledge of the sources of the unique foods of each dish. It brought each of us closer to all the gifted people Chef works with to achieve the pinnacle of creativity and taste. Congratulations to Chef and the hundreds of culinary professionals he works with locally( most important of all), nationally and globally. Humbly, Alrie Middlebrook

    Cute corner spot in Willow Glen. My friend and I were seated right away. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The tiramisu latte was delicious. It was hard to choose which food to try. I chose a savory item ( Eggs Benedict on a croissant). I’m glad the eggs were not runny. The potatoes were perfect. The staff were very attentive. Will definitely be back to try more menu items.
