This place is charmingly unhip. It presents itself as an old school fine dining establishment and on that it delivers. From the elevator music, to the mustard-colored tufted bench seats, everything about this place communicates that it's the food that's interesting. And the food was...Read More

We were looking for somewhere to have dinner near our airport hotel and found this absolute gem only about 10 minutes away. Delicious food, lovely ambiance, and impeccable service. Enjoyed it so much we came back again the next night.

Nice cozy place with great staff and even greater food. The rack of lamb just melted in my mouth. The filet mignon was superb! Lovely little crab cakes.

I'd give this 6 stars if I could! Yes, it's a little on the pricy side, but more than worth it. I've been in the US for a month, and this was the best food I've had. Simple, yet absolutely delicious. The starters are also...Read More

This restaurant was a fantastic find for a Saturday dinner with friends. The interior is cozy and classy. The food was exceptional. The mussels with chorizo, the pasta special, the salads were delightful. The service was friendly and knowledgeable.

Such a hidden gem. Scallops, clams, and shrimps all impressively fresh, and everything tastes just right. The cioppino is a generous portion and delicious - up there with those classic places in Half Moon Bay like Sam's. Nice ambient music too. What a surprise. Please...Read More

Decided to take my fiancé to JC Bruno while on vacation. Was spur of the moment but I couldn’t be more happy that we chose this spot. I ordered the ribeye steak and it was cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely lovely! I've never had a better made salmon filet: cracker-crispy skin and buttery tender. The steak, too, was incredible. Picture a sizable filet mignon with criss-crossing grill marks. I asked for medium-rare, mom asked for …
