Arte Cafe situated deep in the heart of Cerritos Towne Center, is literally an oasis of fine food buried in a shopping mall, the restaurant walls are decorated with an interesting array of art work? The food is always fresh and has a Pacific Rim theme to its dishes, there is a very well stocked bar and an outside patio to people watch. It is also a great place to eat before catching a film at the nearby Movie house.
Their wine tasting dinners are famous. The latest one that we attended was a four course meal featuring four wines from Oakville Winery in Napa Valley. The Wine company representative was very knowledgeable and had a fun way of taking about his wines. The Dinners First course of fresh bay Scallops and brie cheese ravioli, accompanied by a fine light blush wine called Elizabeth Rose Rose. Second course: was California stripe bass, grilled veg and Dijon cream sauce, with a gentle chardonnay called Elizabeth Rose. Third course consisted of New York steak with a dry cherry Cabernet sauce and avocado egg roll, washed down with a very robust Cabernet Sauvignon.
Coffee was served with a perfect berry soufflé, the cost was a mere $39.00 plus tax tip etc.
Which is a great deal by anybody’s account.
