As the name (an acronym for French wines’ regional certification) would suggest, this Mediterranean bijou lives up to its moniker with a floor-to-ceiling ensemble of Californian and European wines. The vibe is cozy, with rustic furniture, fireplaces, and a brick patio lined with olive trees. 
Diners may also treat themselves to cocktails that pair wonderfully with the consistently satisfying fare. The kitchen's focus on produce is clear in everything from a brunchtime beef cheesesteak sandwich with mushrooms and Comté, to tart marinated olives. Small plates is the order of the day, as in endive, smoked whitefish, and apple dressed with a kumquat-Meyer lemon cream or hanger steak with red wine-butter. Finish off with a strawberry-topped cream cheese tart.
