 Located on the ground floor of an office building, adjacent to a lively country-western dance hall, this Anaheim venue boasts one of the region’s quirkiest addresses. Inside its heavy doors lies an eatery that revels in attention to detail, from the warm lighting that juxtaposes against dark banquettes to the sleek woods and nuanced colors. The restaurant marks the reunion of master sommelier Michael Jordan and executive chef Michael Rossi, the duo who first achieved widespread acclaim in Orange County at Napa Rose just a few blocks away. They have not missed a beat, as they have created a study in contemporary food and wine that helps set the benchmark for OC dining. Jordan’s cultivated wine list of more than 14,000 domestic and foreign labels guarantees that there will be something on hand to ideally match your mood and the occasion. Likewise, Rossi’s skill and unrelenting quest for the finest ingredients --- many of which are grown on the restaurant’s farm --- result in contemporary dishes that carry unforgettable flavors. Freshly baked popovers with daily-made preserves are a must to begin the meal, while the Kobe-style beef carpaccio with black truffle and tuna crudo with orange are inspired starters. Mains are smartly composed, as in the salmon with black quinoa and the lamb chops with pecan spätzle. Desserts, like the PBJ and milk chocolate bar and buttered popcorn ice cream, are sweetly whimsical. If you are headed next door for dance, be sure to stop in here to indulge in one of the handcrafted cocktails or a selection from the deep roster of fine spirits.
