Lilo
$$$$•Californian•5(450)A lively and immersive dining experience that welcomes you to celebrate life’s special moments, Lilo harnesses the untamed spirit of the California coast and the world's shorelines through a curated, seafood-focused multi-course tasting menu rooted in a thoughtful connection to nature, served around a 24-seat chef’s counter.Sake Bar Ikkon
$$$$•Japanese•5(13)Sake Bar Ikkon is a Sake pairing bar, owned and curated by certified sake sommelier Ayaka Ito. Focused on creating an experience built around small plates, hand picked sake, and the unique flavors they create together.
Ito has built every experience around three elements in harmony: sake, food, and glassware. Change the glass, and the same sake tastes different. Add the right dish, and something unexpected comes alive. Get all three right, and the result is something you can’t quite explain, but will never forget.
In collaboration with Marie Chiba, owner of EUREKA! Tokyo’s legendary sake bar, Ito and Chef Ryan Miller have created a menu where sake, food, and glassware are chosen with that magic in mind. We can't wait to welcome you for this unique experience!

Morning Glory
$$$$•Breakfast•4.8(67)Morning Glory is a garden of eggy delights.
We primarily only accept walk ins at Morning Glory. Once the restaurant is full, we use a waitlist through OpenTable which notifies you via text message when your table is available. You must be physically present to get on that waitlist.
With strong support from soufflé seekers, that wait can be lengthy, especially on the weekends. We have opened up a handful of reservations for our last seating of weekend brunch services to offer an alternative to the waitlist and guarantee a spot for the few who are seeking to join us later in the day.
These spots are coveted and can be booked up to 30 days in advance for Saturday and Sundays only from 2:45pm-3:15pm.Baci Coffee
