Description

If Chef Jonny and his wife, Monique Black (who oversees the service team) make you feel as if you're being invited into their own home, well, that's because the second floor of this Craftsman-style residence is their home. The two have an abundance of fine dining bona fides, but here they aim for a more approachable feel. The cooking draws upon French bistro fare and showcases the bounty of the California coast, with seafood, like spot-on sea bass and swoon-worthy abalone, making a big impression. If selecting from the many delectable dishes proves too difficult, opt for a set menu offering a tour of the greatest hits. Just don't skip the ethereal vanilla-scented canelés with an ideal balance of crisp caramelized exterior and creamy, custardy interior.
