At 821 you'll find gleaming white tablecloths over every table and an informal yet classy crowd hanging out on the deck. Check out the high -end wine list with lots of California reds and whites; while you sip and peruse the menu, keep in mind that the new chef has big ideas about food. Constantly searching for inspiration, 821's chef brings a Pacific Rim flavor to his dishes, combining ingredients in new ways to wonderful new ends. Digging for inspiration in Asian flavors for the most part, with a touch of Caribbean and Indian influence (try the shrimp egg rolls or the fusion Peking duck salad), the young and motivated chefs will prepare you something that's out of this world, all in a timely manner with friendly service. Huge windows keep the place bright and airy, even with the luscious, deep-red walls as a backdrop. If you're feeling extra adventurous, peek into the open kitchen and tell the staff about any new spices you've come across lately. Chances are that these crazy kitchen gurus may take you up on your suggestion. Maybe they'll even name a dish after you.
