Located in the historic El Paseo, Intermezzo is the casually stylish sister restaurant to the long-beloved Wine Cask. A collaboration between proprietor John O’Neill and executive chef Josh Brown, the eatery features modern American cuisine with a Mediterranean twist. Favorites include Spicy Capicola Pizza, Shetland Isle Salmon, and the Cask Burger. Nightly specials reflect seasonal farm-fresh picks. Sit by the fireplace or at the copper-clad bar, in the dining room hung with framed photos of O’Neill’s and Brown’s favorite punk rockers, or outside in the interior courtyard or the street-side portico.
