  Nice atmosphere and tasty food, very good service and great wine selection. Never expected to see such a good restaurant at train station. Crab cake is delicious, served with mango salsa. Tasty desserts. Btw, you can occasionally meet celebrity out there, we did:)

  Pretty cool spot in CA. The service was great and so was the food. We tried the jerk chicken which was perfectly cooked. I'm always suspect of chicken being too dry but it wasn't. Really great cocktail menu too. Got two of these drinks because they were so good, just can't remember what it's called. Definitely a place I'd recommend.

  Chipolata style fast-casual place with an Asian selection of foods and toppings. Got the brown rice base with shrimp and pork meatballs and all the toppings you can fit in the bowl. Plus the fried egg - fried egg is always a good idea. I liked my apostleship style fast-casual place with an Asian selection of foods and toppings.

Good to grab if you're in the area, but not good enough to go out of your way to get it.
