Dennis Leary continues to rock it at the tiny spot. There are two seatings a night--the counter is a fun spot to cozy up with your sweetie. The ever-changing Cali menu is rooted in good French technique, and wait until you try the Parker House rolls, oh lordy.

Young chef Dennies Leary is the one-man show behind this tiny, top-rated 20-seat eatery. Located in the Commodore Hotel in the Tendernob, its retro-modern diner where the regulars are foodies and the occasional unsuspecting hotel guest.
