Anything with the port-cherry sauce will be good (I rather like asking for ice cream with that on top). The Meyer lemon & shrimp appetizer is hella good, too. Bring your own wine -- their wine list is really bad and total mark-up joke. Rage away, meg

The food is phenomenal, and I keep meaning to write up my review of the meal I had there a week ago. Suffice it to say if the pork chop with port cherry sauce, stuffed with carrots, celery, and pancetta is on the menu, order it. I'd also recommend the potato pancakes and smoked trout appetizer, and the champagne peach sorbet. The decor is well, sorta lame, but IMO, the food makes up for it by leaps and bounds.
