Traditionally, celebrities make terrible restaurateurs. But it wouldn't be fair to judge Ana Mandara on the basis that its owners are two local celebrities, Don Johnson and Cheech Marin (from the not so popular CBS show Nash Bridges). Regardless of ownership, it is one of the finest Vietnamese restaurants on the left side of the country. The setting, which is intended to evoke colonial Vietnam, is very romantic, an effect emphasized by bamboo screens and low lighting.
