Tucked among the Victorians that line its picture-perfect street in Lower Pac Heights, locals count themselves lucky to claim this charming, elegant dame as their neighborhood spot—though they may still need to plan ahead to score a table. Chef/owner Melissa Perello's signature brand of simple-yet-elevated cooking shows creative touches while celebrating excellent local ingredients. A meal might progress from impeccably crispy fried artichokes to silky hand-made fettucine with morels, followed by juicy quail with grapefruit and spinach, each showcasing spectacular local products in their best light. Don’t skip the baked goods: house-made levain is excellent, as are seasonal desserts like a bay leaf panna cotta with rhubarb granita and tarragon crumble.
