| The name refers to a miniature fluted cake from Bordeaux, and this slightly congested but convivial one room restaurant has wood tables (including some communal seating), brick walls and an open kitchen. Co-owner/chef Corina Weibel, previously of Campanile and Lucques, turns out a menu that shows off both California and Mediterranean culinary themes. Starters might include a pissaladière (the classic pizza-like tart from Nice), Serrano ham with Spanish cheeses and quince paste or a farmers market salad with crème fraîche-shallot dressing. One of the best omelets in town is offered as an appetizer, but works well for a light main course, too. Herb-roasted rack of lamb, a respectable boeuf bourguignon, branzino with olives and caper berries, and duck confit with turnips and Himalayan red rice are among appealing entrées. Buena chica cheesecake may end the meal, and when guests depart, they are handed a sample of the namesake cake. |
