“When it comes to food, we believe it's the one element of life we can all connect to. We specialize in what we call "California Soul Food" which celebrates not only the beautiful produce that make up California, it also celebrates the different cultures that make this area so unique. Every culture has its own food that reminds you of what it's like to be at home. We recreate that feeling with our food, our service and throw our little California twist on it.” - Chef Virgil
