Operated by son of founder of Mimi's Cafe and the Kettle in MBch and French Mkt in Weho, Chris Simms. They will be trying to come to your neighborhood.

We've had one in Huntington Beach for a couple of years now, and while it's certainly not haute cuisine, I've found it to serve good quality, interesting food, well above and beyond the Mimi's coffee shop fare.
