Look for the British phone booth in front of the old Tulare County Jail. Jack & Charlie's is in the basement, under the stairs.
The upscale California cuisine was beautiful, well-presented and delicious. Enjoyed the braised lamb with couscous and vegetables. Generous portions, great wine list, and very reasonable.

Incredible Italian-American cuisine. Fugazzi's has a very large menu with lots of great options to choose from. This is a great place to go for a celebration (birthdays, anniversaries... etc.)
It's casual dining, however you will see a variety of people both dressy and casual around the dinner hour.
