Owners George and Valerie Anni go to the head of the class with Valanni, an A-plus effort at Mediterranean-Latin fusion. A 14-seat bar serves as the nucleus of their cozy, dimly lit restaurant, a place to savor the electic by-the-glass wine list or high-octane cocktails. Banquettes line the walls in the rear of the single dining room, candles burn on tables for two near the front windows, and the clientele—dining on entrées like roasted duck atop a sweet potato mash dotted with brandied cherries—is as varied as the decor of sophisticated black surfaces, hip exposed brick, comfortable bar stools, and a quirky purple-and-blue striped wall.

Review
The Kobe beef burger is not only the best burger I ever had, it was big enough for me,and I can eat, to take home a doggie bag! I savored all the more the next day!

Review
This place is always a good choice whether it be a night out with friends or family, a date, or celebrating a special occasion. The vibe is so great. Food and drinks never disappoint. I love sitting outside or by the window in the warm weather and watching the scene. Recently went to a private function here and it was amazing! Can't say enough good things!
