California Bistro
Easygoing California dining with enough polish for date night and enough comfort for a midweek favorite.
♡ Darcey's Take
“California Bistro has a beautiful dining room and patio, but do not overlook the bar. The big wraparound bar is lively, social, and the service is always great. Their happy hour menu has plenty of good choices, but my favorite is the Blackened Chicken Sandwich. Honestly, it may be my favorite sandwich anywhere in the Valley.”
