Mediterranean Kitchen & Café · Est. 1998

A table set by fire, season & salt.

Wood-fired plates, market vegetables and a quietly brilliant wine list — served in a sun-warmed room that feels like the south of somewhere you love.

Our table

Generous food, an unhurried room, the warmth of being well fed.

Restaurant Deluxe began as a corner café with one wood oven and a long shared table. Twenty-five seasons later the oven still burns olive wood, the table is still long, and very little has changed about why we do it.

We cook close to the source — produce from growers we know, fish landed that morning, bread proofed overnight and pulled from the embers at dusk. Come for the plates; stay for the second carafe.

“Good cooking is mostly restraint. We let one perfect ingredient be the loudest voice on the plate — then we get out of its way.”
