- MMaryVIPLos Angeles •16 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoIt was a very busy day (Christmas Eve) but we were greeted warmly and seated at our reservation time. Our server was friendly, although a bit forgetful. We ordered a few items that we were told later they had run out of, somewhat disappointing but I guess understandable for the busy holiday. What we did have for dinner was delicious. The portions were moderate to generous. The Caesar salad was excellent as was the chicken. My son loved the short ribs. We will definitely return.More infoFig 313Price: Expensive• Contemporary American• San Clemente•4.7
