Florals for spring? Groundbreaking. No, no, no - that wasn't a question. Our Devil Drinks Palomas cocktail is on the menu now — serrano hibiscus cordial, Cointreau, Corralejo Reposado, lime, and grapefruit soda. Come in before or after Devil Wears Prada 2. Miranda would approve. That is all!

🍓 Alpana has a new spring crush. Her name is Sabroso.
Straight from the Monterey Bay, Alpana is thrilled to introduce its official wine of spring — the Sabroso Grenache Blend by . 🌸
Made by the very talented former sommelier turned winemaker Ted Glennon, this Grenache plus friends drinks like a bowl of fresh strawberries. We’re obsessed. We’re not sorry.
We recommend it slightly chilled — because warm weather is coming for us, and we plan to be ready. 😎🌊
Catch the Sabroso as part of our Garden Party Flight 🌿 or grab it by the glass or bottle because some things are just too good NOT to share.
Spring officially has a drink. See you on the patio. ☀️

🖤 Squid Ink Campanelle — a dish that’s been on the menu since day one, and for good reason.
Jet-black ‘bells’ tossed in saffron chili butter, finished with golden pangratatto for that irresistible crunch. It’s bold, it’s a little briny, and it hits every time. We love it alongside a lighter red — think something with good acidity and low tannin that lets the saffron and heat do their thing. 🍷
Come in and taste why this one’s a staff and customer favorite!

Stracciatella di Bufala
The best part of the burrata gets the spotlight. 🫶🇮🇹🍓
We’re giving it the solo it deserves, paired with a sweet and tangy strawberry mostarda that cuts right through that luxurious creaminess. Topped with buttery pistachios for crunch and a sprinkle of Marash pepper for a subtle, smoky heat.
One bite. You’ll understand the hype.

We’re featuring SIX exceptional Argentine wines that showcase the diversity of the region, from a crisp, floral Torrontés to a powerful, world-class Malbec. If you joined us earlier in the month, perhaps you caught a few special dishes like porchetta and Argentine Steak Frites to pair with these exceptional wines.
