This restaurant is our favorite Saturday afternoon event while shopping at Topanga Mall. It's in Neiman Marcus (our go-to place for top lines in makeup and skin care). We love the ambience (sit inside or outside on the patio where a manmade fountain and plantings add to the calm). We also love the "starters" that come when you sit down--first a demitasse cup of chicken broth with tiny biscuits, then popovers with strawberry butter. The menu is based on what I call California fusion--fresh ingredients prepared with influences from all over the globe. My favorite entrees are the pan-seared salmon filet salad, the salmon tacos, and the chicken paiillard milanese, but we've never had anything we didn't like. The service is first-class, friendly but not intrusive. And even if you appear just before they close (6 on Saturday), everyone is cheerful and welcoming--and take their time to serve. It isn't just lunch or early dinner, it's an event. For my daughter and I (and now my granddaughter), it's become a tradition. And you might even see a TV or movie star--we have--but even when the stars come out, there's no big fuss, this restaurant treats all of us like stars.
