From Zagat: “Charismatic” chef-owner Mark Gold “presides over the kitchen in his cowboy hat” at this “quirky” “little gem” on Beverly Boulevard serving “imaginative” seasonal Californian fare in an “intimate” space that’s “like dining in someone’s home”; a “warm”, “caring” staff “makes the excellent food taste even better”, and while it’s not cheap, those “on a budget” claim the Sunday Supper is “one of the best bargains in town.”
