“What strikes me is the thoughtful restoration, reviving what I understand was once an Elks Club with an aesthetic hinting at old California missions. I find its location appealing; set just back from Main Street, it's a quick walk to shops and restaurants, yet removed enough to offer a sense of calm. The inclusion of complimentary beverages and available bikes adds a touch of considered hospitality.”
