The four of us had a soft shelled crab tempura and shrimp mousse stuffed squash blossoms for an appetizer. The barramundi, boeuf bourguignonne, and lamb ribs were all excellent. We brough two exquisite wines, which were uncorked and decanted perfectly. The white tablecloths and 1960s music all made us feel like we were in an exclusive club. This is a hidden gem in Santa Monica.
