Clearly and unequivocally, this restaurant is not what it appears to be -- but if you can get past the initial confusion, you may well end up joining its sizeable fan club. The dignified architecture and homey decor are deliberately patterned after a Victorian inn, even down to the garden outside and the fireplaces in each dining room. Instead of beef Wellington or fish and chips, though, the place serves contemporary California cuisine. This wasn't always the case, but the owners, who also own the Sonora Cafe in Los Angeles, are nothing if not eclectic. Their menu offers everything from grilled Atlantic salmon to shrimp potstickers to New Zealand venison in wine reduction. It changes often; if you want to know specifics, it's best to call before coming. The extensive, award-winning wine list offers numerous choices to complement every dish. Before or after dinner, enjoy a cocktail -- or a pint -- in the garden or the comfortable lounge. -- Lena Katz

A venture into excellace
pwalrath2 - 02/08/2007The entry is great with the class of an English Pug along with a classy eatery. The small bar is intimate and the service is great.

mayor4x - 04/01/2006This has been our favorite restaurant for years. We love the English Pub atmosphere, the food is great and the service is excellent. For a very special evening, try the Cat and the Custard Cup.

wllmilli - 12/07/2003I first noted this funny sounding named restaurant in the LA Magazine with great review. I tried it and have been going back routinely ever since. There has been no change in the service and excellence over these last 10-15 years. At this time I've tried everything on the menu and have loved them all. Typically restaurant menus will give you two or three items you might feel in the mood for. At this restaurant you can just throw a dart and you will love the outcome. Great wines (even Wine Spectator agrees) great desserts, Great Restaurant. You've got to try it.
