    Really great choice for a birthday getaway dinner! Great food and wine selection, lovely ambience and lovely philosophy of no tips and paying a working wage to their employees! I was a bit let down that I wasn't seating according to my preference of by a window or outside. I booked 2 days in advance so I figured it wouldn't be an issue, but when I inquired, I was told you could specify on the booking, which I did. Not a huge deal but still, don't ask for special requests and then ignore. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Calistoga.

    We had a large group of seven people in a private room. The food was excellent and portions were reasonably sized. We especially enjoyed the polenta bites and the halibut croquettes. Everyone really enjoyed their entrees - mushroom risotto, halibut, and bolognese pasta. Their gluten free bucatini was very good too. Nice cozy ambiance. We will definitely come back!

    Nice ambience and very friendly staff. The no tip policy was also great and should be what this country moves towards. The bread with kale pistachio pesto butter is a must

    Blown away by the service and food! Celebrated my birthday here and I felt extra special when I was presented with a signed card from some of the staff and a ceramic bottle stopper made by the owner. I had the impossible sausage lasagna and hubs had the halibut with gnocchi. Both were delicious! We shared the sundae funday for dessert. We'll be back when we visit Calistoga again!

    My wife says she never thought you could roast a tomato mid-December (she had the bacon-tomato Benedict ) and have it so good. My chilaquiles were seasoned perfectly
