  I love coming here with the hubby for a nice meal in a quiet atmosphere with really the best food around. If you're looking for something different in the San Gabriel Valley, come here and try out the fare. Some of it is Asian fusion but my go-to is the garlic shrimp mashed potatoes. Over rice is also really good. The beurre blanc is perfect, headier than usual here, with tart capers and thyme. The mashed potatoes are perfect! The chef is from Idaho (or Iowa? I will have to ask next time) so you can expect the best mashed potatoes. Husband got the braised beef rib and it was perfect, falling off the bone, and served with a savory au jus-based mushroom gravy. Mushrooms, red bell peppers, and asparagus on the side as the veggie, served on top of a bed of white rice. I've also had the pesto pasta with shrimp (delicious), husband has had the jambalaya (zesty and peppery). Smoked salmon bruschetta is what we usually get for an appetizer, served with pesto spread on top of a small piece of toasted bread with the smoked salmon, a dab of cream cheese, and some dried cranberries, mmhmm, topped with smoked paprika (husband could eat a whole plate by himself). Service is friendly and efficient. This place is truly a diamond in the rough. Food is so good. Tips: you can find parking in front on the street or in the back. Across from Lunasia and close to Alondra's, a hot wings place.

  Lovely little eatery tucked away in the heart of the SGV, with a menu that looks like a Sino-European smorgasbord! Recommended: Chicken jambalaya, braised rib soup Definitely will be coming back again!

  This place is an absolute gem! Got takeout here and the food was still tasty and a feast for the eyes! The Cajun Seafood Pasta was delicious and had the right amount of kick. Butternut squash was creamy and filling. For dessert, got tiramisu which was the perfect way to end the night. A little pricey, but well worth it for the quality 😋 Portions were pretty generous too. I love hole-in-the-wall places like this, so I'll be coming back again!

  Very warm and welcoming staff. Delicious food and exotic teas. I devoured my Chilean sea bass with butternut squash puree while my cousin consumed her spinach pasta and her beau enjoyed in his seared salmon salad with mango salsa. I was negligent in taking photos (as is my usual custom) because we were all so hungry. The presentation of the meals were so visually tantalizing that we just dove in and staring eating. I don't even think we said grace (oops).

  First time here. Not very crowded Sunday night dinner at 5pm. Fast services, you will get your dinner very fast. Everything we ordered are delicious and they can almost make everything in vegetarian style. Portions are large, decent price.
