Drinks
Matanzas Creek | Sauvignon Blanc | Sonoma County, CA
Marcia Torres Forno | WinemakerAVA: Sourced from the beautiful and diverse Sonoma CountyFresh quince, honeydew melon, succulent pear, jasmine, and honey suckle.
Jackson Estate | Chardonnay | Santa Maria Valley, CA
Randy Ullom | WinemakerAVA: The Santa Maria Valley AVA is nestled along the California Coast in a rare east-west mountain range, unlike the more common north-south valleysRich and creamy golden mango, pineapple, yellow peach and honeysuckle fruit flavors, with oak barrel aging bringing notes of buttered biscuits and vanilla bean to the palate and finish.
Hartford Court | Chardonnay | Russian River Valley, CA
Jeff Stewart | WinemakerAVA: Hartford Court Russian River Valley Chardonnay is sourced from a collection of small vineyards located throughout the Russian River Valley AVA- Middle Reach, Green Valley, Laguna Ridge and Sebastopol Hills.Subtle aromas of jasmine flower, citrus oil, green apple, and pear. The elegant aromatics are complemented by fresh kiwi, lemon drop, and green apple flavors. The fruit-focused mid-palate is followed by subtle mineral notes and a hint of crystallized ginger in the finish.
La Crema | Pinot Noir | Russian River Valley, CA
Jen Walsh | WinemakerAVA: The Russian River Valley AVA is one of the world’s premier wine-growing regions. One unique element of the area is the Pacific Ocean’s maritime influence which moderates the warms days of the growing season allowing grapes to ripen and develop slowly.Aromas of black cherry, blackberry jam, and cedar are followed by flavors of strawberry, boysenberry, and sassafras.
Arrowood | Cabernet Sauvignon | Sonoma County, CA
Kristina Shideler | WinemakerAVA: Within Sonoma Valley, we source from hillside and bench-land vineyards from both the Sonoma Mountain and Moon Mountain sub-AVAs. Key to these sites are the rocky volcanic soils, producing highly concentrated fruit with a distinct expression.Brightly aromatic with spiced cherry, blood orange, raspberry, and lavender. This brightness carries through on the palate, offering loads of energy and structure.
Jordan | Cabernet Sauvignon | Alexander Valley, CA
Maggie Kruse | WinemakerAVA: Alexander Valley is located 75 miles north of San Francisco, Located north of Healdsburg and east of Geyserville, the Alexander Valley stretches 25 miles from north to south with the beautiful Russian River meandering through.Cherry, raspberry and dried herb aromas laced with hints of vanilla and tobacco. The palate has a charming weight and velvety texture filled with intense flavors of black cherries and blackberries, all elevated by a lovely backbone of spice notes from extended aging in French oak barrels.
Freemark Abbey | Cabernet Sauvignon | Napa Valley, CA
Kristy Melton | WinemakerAVA: Prime vineyard sourcing from Napa- Oakville, Atalon, Bosche’ and Sycamore.Our Napa Valley Cabernet is deep garnet in color with aromas of black forest fruits, dark cherry, and lingonberry and is complemented with notes of espresso, dark chocolate, cedar and graphite.

Food was good, drinks were also good. Service was OK, except we were with a friend so we wanted to talk a bit, but waiter was in a rush and went by to our table at least 9 times in an hour asking if we wanted the check, and it wasn’t like they needed the table because restaurant was at 10% of their capacity. Would definitely go again and try more stuff. Gnocchi’s were AWESOME! Sangria was different, but good, and fig prosciutto pizzas was also good!

The five hour short rib and beet salad were great. The margherita pizza was disappointing: it was basically a cheese flatbread pizza with some herbs. Service was fast and friendly.

Nice atmosphere, good service, ample free parking, plenty of tables and bar space – not busy for a Monday night. Food was good. Convenient location for me so I’ll dine here again.

I’ve been here twice and loved it both times. The menu is extensive and the food comes very fast. Service has been great, and their patio is really nice. Highly recommend.

Sunday brunch was great. Not too crowded.

Nothing was flat out bad, just nothing particularly special, either. This would be a great place to bring a very picky or simple eater. We sat outside for lunch, and the atmosphere was nice. Fried pickles were OK (not worth the calories, in my opinion). My husband got fish tacos, and they were standard fish tacos. The power salad with chicken was good. If they made it with a really good homemade dressing, that would have been a noteworthy meal. I had to get up and ask for the check, but they did seem somewhat understaffed.

I had the order for take out so I can’t really speak to how well the restaurant is in person. I have had an amazing experience the first time being at this restaurant. The fried Brussels sprouts, short rib and fried pickles are amazing. I normally don’t eat all my fries but this time there was no putting them down. I definitely will be back to order something else!

Power in the kitchen went down shortly after we ordered. While many people left because they couldn’t eat, the server was great at making sure our poke bowls, which didn’t require heat, got to us. We enjoyed them in a quiet restaurant. Good save. Also, have the sangria.

The food and the atmosphere were great . However, the service was absolutely horrible. We only seen our waiter twice. Once to take our order and then because we asked the bartender to get our check ..
