This lively, eclectic restaurant is in the historic 1915 Spanish Colonial House of Hospitality building. The attractive interior features colorful glass-blown sculptures, mosaic-tiled tables and beautiful chandeliers. Chef Jeff Thurston offers a delicious menu focusing on Italian-American and Latin American cuisine. The outdoor patio is lovely for kicking back and enjoying the surrounding views and a mojito.
