Is Cal Pep worth it for a romantic trip?

Cal Pep works because the long counter turns dinner into a conversation with the kitchen. You choose a drink, the staff steer the order and small plates arrive as the cooks finish them, which makes a solo meal or dinner for two feel spontaneous rather than underplanned. The same setup becomes awkward when you need a fixed menu, a quiet table or enough seats for everyone to stay together.
