$$-$$$, Contemporary, Escondido
Fodor's Review:
Here's an excellent choice for dining before attending an event at the nearby California Center for the Arts. Original paintings decorate the walls and crisp white tablecloths cover the tables, adorned with fresh flowers. The menu changes frequently; offerings might include tournedos Rossini, a grilled portobello mushroom with Parmesan, or veal prosciutto ravioli. The wine list is serious, as are the desserts. The service is friendly and attentive.
