This is definitely the place to go if you feel like you've "seen it all" when it comes to Californian cuisine. They will show you that you haven't! Our party of 4 all got the tasting menu so we could try as many dishes as possible. Many of the dishes were unusual flavor combinations, such as their well-known porcini donuts, or the octopus tostada with pluot and Jimmy Nardello chimichurri. I also noticed they have a lot of very umami-heavy dishes. They were also very accommodating of our gluten-free friend which was lovely. I don't think it quite lived up to the hype -- it's not the first place I would think to take someone who came to visit. However, as I said above, if you're looking for a new spin definitely try this place out! The service was friendly, and the overall vibe was lively but still cozy.

A truly memorable culinary journey at NARA, where the artistry of Chef Danny shines through in every detail. The Hamachi Truffle is the signature dish. Oh my gosh, you have to try this place! They have this incredible fish dish that’s like a cloud of melt-in-your-mouth goodness. It’s infused with this earthy truffle aroma that’s just divine. Apparently, this dish is a result of the Chef’s 30 years of hard work and passion for cooking. They believe in using only the freshest, purest ingredients and then using simple, yet effective techniques to bring out their true flavor. You can really taste the journey and evolution of their skills and vision in every bite. And beyond the signature dish, all their dishes are so precise and fresh. Even their vegetarian and gluten-free options are expertly prepared and just as delicious. The service is attentive but not overbearing, always anticipating your needs. The atmosphere is perfect - both elegant and comfortable. Parking was a breeze, which added to the overall smooth experience. NARA truly embodies the commitment to quality and culinary passion. It’s a place that deserves all the recognition it gets!

6 of us were looking for a place with gluten-free options, and Uva came up on the search. We called and were able to get a table right away. The food was lovingly prepared, and everyone's meal was delicious. The appetizers, salads, and entrees were outstanding. A very nice wine selection. Even though we were filled from dinner, we had the sour cherry tart and espresso for dessert. I highly recommend!
