    Such a great place to go for Brunch! I got the french toast and the sauce they used was phenomenal and the berries were nice and fresh! I also paired it with a mimosa and the amazing coffee! Highly recommend this place for brunch.

    Very delicious steaks and amazing brussels sprout (one of the best I have ever had). This would be a very good steakhouse in any city, and may be one of the best restaurants in the area.

    Amazing place to grab a bite to eat, the bartender Hunter and Lizette were very friendly and attentive and always asked us if we need anything, since we’re traveling and there weren’t such nice options in the area this place was a real gem 💎 Food, service and atmosphere were very good and it was busy on a Sunday if that tells you anything. We will definitely come back again if we are traveling through. 👏🏻😃

    We stumbled upon this after wandering around on the 4th of July looking for brunch that did not have a long wait. We were about to give up and was going to the grocery to make our own when I saw this across the street and got curious. So glad that we did! There is a bar area and lots of booth seating. We ordered lattes, vegetable hash w egg on top and avocado toast with prosciutto and a poached egg. Next time, I'll order a side of bacon or sausage to go with the hash. Definitely going to check it out for dinner too. The bar looks promising.

    Quiet the enjoyable dinning experience. Had a friends birthday here (Happy Birthday Franz) and decided to take the road less traveled by and order a dozen deviled eggs... I was not disappointed. Ya see I farm eggs for a living, and these sweet little ovals where top of the line! Long story short the food is amazing cant wait to move on beyond the eggs next time I visit.

    We sat at the bar for dinner (tables all booked) and I highly recommend this! We ordered 4 cocktails (2 classics and 2 of their inventions) and all were great. The bartenders are serious about cocktails and it shows. They also doubled as our servers with exactly the right amount of attentiveness. Steaks were cooked perfectly. The trio of sauces was also on point. Everything we had was between solid and great. Scallops were the tiniest bit on the rare side but that's how I like them so no worries for me. If you have different ideas about scallops you might ask them to keep em on the fire a bit longer as they're quite thick. All in all, the best restaurant meal I've had in this part of California. Seems like they stay pretty busy so I'd suggest a reservation.

    I've never had a bad meal here. Perfect date night atmosphere, good lighting and decor. Private feeling tables in back. Oddly enough the food that stands out in my memory is the Artichoke Dip! Try it you'll love it. Prices reflect the quality but it's worth it.

    Amazing food and service! Make sure you get reservations ahead of time. Chris, our bartender, was a wonderful host to us, and super sweet and knowledgeable. Got to say it again, but the food is incredibly good. Couldn’t decide what to get so Chris ordered me the pork chop and OMG IT WAS AMAZING. Also, I didn’t see dessert on the menu but I asked and they had this wonderful S’more Cheesecake!!!

    Great meal, friendly and attentive service, very happy with our dining experience

  • 4/5 Adrianne B. 1 year ago on Google
    We were surprised at the quality of the food and drinks here. For being in a small town it was food we'd find in any major city. My squash salad thing was great. The carrots were a little too al dente but were still tasty. My husband enjoyed his steak. The fries that we ordered took awhile to come to the table but they were delicious once they got there.

    The atmosphere is great! Good is was presented well, tasted amazing and the staff was very friendly. We had appetizers, mains and dessert. All of it complemented each other well

    Amazing experience all around. I’ll start with the place environment. The restaurant has a cozy, more intimate atmosphere. Very nice for a date night and for luxurious meals experience. Clean and well designed floor plan. We did not set at the bar, but it was very full and it looked like a very nice area to unwind after a long week/day. The kitchen area what I was absolutely in love with the most. It’s very open and the lighting is distributed very well. The aroma of the food was just divine. Staff: the welcoming guests staff, she was super friendly and polite. Had our reservation ready in les than 10secs. We were escorted to our booth; she had gone over our reservation notes and was very knowledgeable about food restrictions we had added to our reservation. (Not a lot of places actually train their staff to understand all different food requirements, so I was really impressed) Our waitress was absolutely amazing and she had taken care of us very well. Our drinks, food, and side dishes arrived very quickly. She had attended us at all right times to check on us and was super wonderful. Thank you Madison, Food experience: expect this to be a high-end quality and an expensive outing. If you are trying to impress your partner, family or just for yourself pleasure this is the place to go for a great time. The food was delicious. We only had vegetarian/non-meat dishes and nonalcoholic drinks. Everything, and I mean everything was just perfect. If I could eat the meat they had I would try it, but I have food restrictions and I truly can’t imagine how the meat dishes would taste, if the vegetarian options were absolutely scrumptious. We are going back for another try for their brunch menu, and I’ll update this post with more pictures and information. - Dishes we ordered: House-made Pita Bread & Ricotta French onion soup Stuffed Delicata Squash Oyster Mushrooms Pried Brussel Sprouts - Drinks: The forager (mock-tail) Ice tea

    I went here my first night in town and had the wedge salad, filet mignon with the peppercorn butter, and crispy potatoes. That butter is unbelievably delicious! It made my steak one of the best steaks I've ever eaten! It was so good that I came back the next night and had the same thing. Great service from smiling staff. Highly recommend.

    I can’t say this enough… WOW!! This food is incredible. Everything is house made, and you can tell! The pasta is made here, steak is fresh cut with the best rub I’ve tasted. The only thing I regret is we won’t be back anytime soon, as we were staying one night here while passing through. Highly recommend!! Please open one in Oregon!!

    Service was great! Appetizers great we ordered the Porterhouse steak 75.00 we ordered it MR it was MW and so over salted it was bad sent it back got the new one it was ok not 75.00 worth. Prices are very high the least expensive glass of wine is 16. Very expensive place.

    Seriously had the best experience ever here with my family. Chris at the bar was so incredibly knowledgeable and you could tell he was proud of where he works and the products they serve! Hunter behind the bar was so attentive and kind, calling everyone by name, slinging drinks, keeping everyones glass full. Zach, our server, was so awesome. He knew the menu thoroughly, had great wine recommendations, sold us on the specials, and made our experience unforgettable! The food and drinks were great quality and the Chefs knew what they were doing. We licked every plate clean. We will be back and recommend to our friends and family!

    Most delicious steak my husband had in months!! They had a lovely table for us for our anniversary dinner! Lamb chops was also very tasty!

  • 5/5 Aaron S. 1 year ago on Google
    The lamb was amazing! The steaks were delicious and the drinks were what we needed. If you are looking for a great atmosphere and even better food than you have found your place.

    Great meal tonight of both food and libations. Our steaks were done perfectly and we still had room for some dessert. Will be back again for another wonderful meal.
