"One of the city's secret joys seems widely known by now. Reasonably priced, even if it weren't in this neighborhood, Montecito Cafe serves beautifully sauced, grilled dishes: this is the place in town to order chicken breast. The coconut cake is also famous, but the lively atmosphere attests to the good feeling of eating great and not needing to refinance the bungalow to do so."
