1997: HELLO SANTA MONICA!

We had been looking to expand to Santa Monica since the 80’s but the space that truly felt right to us never came.  In the late 90’s a Santa Monica location came up that just felt right. We hung the original neon sign in the dining room and opened our doors.  We noticed that a number of people that grew up dining with us at the  Western location had moved to the west side and Santa Monica welcomed us with open arms and lots of love for our brand and food!
