in 1976, we opened our first restaurant in Lake Arrowhead with our children: Susan, Larry, Sally and Julie. We converted what had been a little art store into our first "Inn". Our menu consisted mostly of old family recipes.

After our magical time in the mountains and 14 great years in Palm Desert and Palm Springs, we relocated in 1989 to Laguna Beach in the historic Lumberyard Building on Forest Avenue. We then opened in another historic location in San Juan Capistrano with its tree shaded patio and magnificent view of the Mission. In the fall of 1999 we opened our craftsman designed restaurant in Brea, and finally, in 2005, we opened our latest restaurant in Laguna Niguel.

Our menu now reflects the influences of the many talented people that we have worked with over the years and our "family" has expanded to include spouses, grandchildren and dedicated staff members.
