You can’t beat Luciano’s for atmosphere, and when you can find a good Italian restaurant with veal parmigiana on the menu, you go for it! It’s what we might have called back in New Jersey “a classy joint!”

Salt Creek Grille exceeded all my expectations. All the food was exceptional, fresh and creative. I enjoyed the most delicious and delicate crab cake I have ever had in CA! That is high praise coming from a woman living in Baltimore for 20 years! The service was personable and professional. I am not sure of the very nice gentleman’s name. He was instrumental in making the brunch enjoyable with his attentive nature. BRAVO!!!!!!
