This restaurant took over what was once Dominick's storied patio and redid it in a circus theme, complete with a leopard-print pool table, a fabric-covered baby grand piano and burlesque performers twirling on rings overhead. A pianist works the dining room through the night, singing over an Italian-Californian menu of shared small plates. Reservations run through OpenTable, and there's a private room for larger groups.
