Copra
Tonight’s dinner was at Copra, a new Sri Lankan restaurant where Dosa used to be. We were very saddened when Dosa closed and haven’t found any decent Indian restaurants (Bibi Ji in Santa Barbara was very good, but not great). For us, it’s often about the quality of the spices and of course the preparation,…

You almost wouldn’t even notice the restaurant front since it only had minimal signage. We had an early seating for the omakase dinner at the sushi bar. Sushi Tadokoro received their Michelin star…
