History
A Building Rich in History
It’s no secret that our restaurant sits within a building that is rich in history. In fact, our building (1894) is one of the very first examples of Mission Revival Style architecture and is said to be one of Amtrak’s most unique (and for generations it was considered the loveliest) depot in Southern California.
