This charming Theater District café has been dishing up delicacies for over three decades---all without sacrificing the friendly spirit that makes locals come back again and again. Any of a number of California wines will pair well with your meal. Starters include grilled peppered shrimp with Florida grapefruit, avocado and fennel salad; and the salmon tartare served with cucumbers, ginger, jalapeños and lime crème fraîche. Signature main courses include pan-seared sea scallops with cauliflower “couscous,” golden raisins, baby leeks and pistachio vinaigrette; and the black pepper tagliatelle with sage butter sauce.
