That So Tabu!

January 15, 2010

We say it’s a blessing and a curse to have one of the highest rated restaurants in Southern California. The expectations are way high. Again this year, Zagat rated Laguna Beach’s Tabu Grill in Laguna Beach a 29 out of 30—so we try to forget that when we’re out. Instead at Tabu Grill, thanks to Nancy Wilhelm, Tabu Grill’s managing owner and Chef Kevin Jerrold-Jones even without the touted rating Tabu Grill is even better.
