It's very nice that you allow pets on the outdoor patio, however, the dog next to us kept barking and the owners would not excuse themselves from the table. :(

Candor always delivers in food, service, quality, and ambiance... a true neighborhood gem! You can't go wrong with any of the dishes as we have had many over the years. Last night was the lamb pappardelle & the short rib with the tomato bread. All winners. Service from Juan M was exceptional too!

The servers were very attentive. Our favorite dish was the burrata with grilled peach and toasted bread appetizer, which was delicious and beautifully plated. The short ribs were flavorful but on the dry side. The Moroccan shrimp salad with peaches made for a light yet satisfying summer entree.

Candor was excellent, food and service superb. I took my sister there for her birthday and she loved everything about the restaurant besides the food. I know she’ll be going back again.
