At A Matter of Taste, we believe in fostering a sense of community and connection with everyone who walks through our doors. Whether it's "Happy Hour" in the US, "L'apéro" in France, "Aperitivo" in Italy, "Tapas" in Spain, "Petiscos" in Portugal, or "Picada" in Argentina, these terms all signify the same cherished social tradition: the pre-dinner gathering where drinks and appetizers are shared among friends and family.

Chef Marilu brings you California cuisine with a global twist, and we believe it's fitting to introduce international terminology to our menu. In choosing to highlight "L'apéro" over the more common "happy hour," we were drawn to the rich cultural significance encapsulated in the French term. "L’apéro" signifies more than just a drink before a meal; it embodies a social ritual, a moment of connection and conviviality shared over small bites and libations.

For us, it's about more than just serving great food and drinks – it's about creating a welcoming space where everyone feels like a friend or family member. Whether you're joining us for a casual gathering or a special occasion, know that you're not just a guest; you're part of our community, and we're thrilled to share these moments with you. So come on in, pull up a chair, and let's toast to good company and great flavors.

As the sun sets and the evening unfolds, we invite you to join us at A Matter of Taste for an unforgettable culinary journey. Whether you're savoring a glass of wine during 'L'apéro' or indulging in our California cuisine with a global twist, know that you're not just dining with us – you're becoming a part of our vibrant community. From the laughter shared over tapas to the stories exchanged during 'Aperitivo,' every moment at our table is infused with warmth and connection. So, come raise a glass, share a bite, and let's celebrate the joy of good company and great flavors together. We can't wait to welcome you into our family.
