    Party of two we each got the 4-course meal option with a seafood focus + a bottle of Cakebread chardonnay + bottle of still water + 20% tip = $442. The food was phenomenal and properly portioned so you can finish all 4 courses and a couple glasses of wine. Skip lunch just to make sure. The Halibut main dish was cooked to perfection. The ambience is perfectly dimly lit, modern rustic, with a low background level of trip hop/ lounge libations. Memorable for sure...

    One of our favorite restaurants and worth the drive, consistently providing high quality, delicious, farm to table foods. The duck breast was the best I have ever had, and my wife said the same about her braised short rib. The appetizer, salad and dessert were great as well.

    What’s not to love? We brought our adult daughters along for our annual anniversary/holiday dinner, and they only added to the validation of how amazing this restaurant truly is. One pescatarian, one vegan, both satisfied and smiling! Chef made a custom vegan dish just for us, and it was fabulous. Great drinks, wine, appetizers… love sitting in the bar, too!

    What a wonderful experience! The food was amazing. Marjorie, our server, was so friendly and helpful. I had the rigatoni, and my husband had hake fish dish. Also enjoyed a couple of spirits – Japanese whiskey and local bourbon.
