This place is a little bit of a drive from downtown but has a cozy feel, spacious inside with well spaced seating. Waiters are attentive, the wine prices decent, typically 6 to 8 dollars for a glass of local wine Food prices are pretty decent by California standards. The seafood bisque soup that comes with the entrées is really good, but so is all you can eat salad. I had the Frutti di mare with 3 types of seafood. Fresh mussels, very tasty.
Edit: 1/15: here again for the frutti di mare
The food is excellent. They serve the best food I have ever eaten. The menu varies. And they give you a lot to eat, and you want to eat every bite of it. I took my leftovers home, I was so full, but then I sat down and ate them. Because I knew it was going to be so good.
