Night Monkey

Description:

• The blue neon sign and red-tiled facade belie the simplicity of the interior, a small space with 12 tables, slate-blue walls and bright red plates. The menu offers straightforward California cuisine. Appetizers include fish chowder with fennel and sweet potatoes, grilled asparagus with shaved Parmesan, and "Fancy Pant" mac and cheese. Entrees range from grilled Niman Ranch steak  with arugula pesto to giant shrimp scampi with lobster jus.
