15 years at this large cottage with a year-round heated sundeck overlooking the pacific OCEAN & hwy 101, the menu offers Armenian specialties cooked with a Lebanese & Greek accent including the best gyros. Rack of Lamb & Lamb shish kebab is the house specialty, a "loss leader" featuring tender premium lamb cubes with assertive seasonings, grilled. Even better are distinctive dishes from the owner's family recipes: his mom's Lebanese kebbe (a large, glorified nut-filled lamb meatball) is outstanding, as is her kashta lea dessert -- an exotic nutmeg sponge cake fragrant with rosewater syrup, topped with pistachios and thickened cream. Dinner platters constitute a full meal, including a great "Armenian salad" and a tasty dip for the meat, along with chicken-lemon soup, pilaf, and pita wedges. Wine list. Three meals, Tuesday through Sunday. Live music and belly dancer weekend nights and Sunday brunch.
