We had a delightful lunch. The wait staff rushed freshly baked bread to our table. The limoncello cake was superb. The view out the window was lovely. The gnocchi was delicious with a very generous portion and flavorful seasonings. The table was ready when we arrived a little early. The wine selection was good.

We enjoyed a 3 hour birthday luncheon for party of 6 on a very rainy weekday. The service was friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. We had appetizers, entrees, and several desserts. We made the meal family style and the staff was very accommodating bringing extra plates and silverware. The food was excellent. The Baby back ribs were a standout among the entrees as well as the Cobb Salad. All the appetizer and desserts were delicious. Although, it is Xmas season, not a standout Xmas ambiance, however it still lovely California, airy feel. We’ve loved Summer House since their opening several years ago, they have been consistent with high quality food and well trained staff. Always solid choice in Pike & Rose neighborhood.
