    Went on Valentine’s Day!!! had reservations at 8, showed up at 7:45 and didn’t get seated until after 9. You would think for a business that’s been open for so long they would have a system for seating during busy holidays. Our Chef James made the wait worthwhile though , he made great jokes and interacted with my son who gets shy in these types of situations. By far the best chef I’ve had here. thank you James

    This meal, which just happened to fall on Valentine’s Day, was a lovely beginning to our trip which started with a flight out of SFO. Fortunately I had thought to make a reservation or we never would have gotten in. The service was warm, the atmosphere was cozy and not too dressy, and the food and wine were great. I especially enjoyed my risotto with scallops; while the scallops were small, they were tender and there were plenty of them. We will definitely keep this restaurant in mind when we visit the area in the future.

    We were 5, 3 stayed on the table and 2 on the bar and my experience at the bar was awful, female in white shirt there asked us if we just walked in and just sat at the bar, but we were actually assisted by people at the front and seated us properly at the bar, and then it felt like we were asked if we could afford the red wine we were ordering as he has to tell us the price of Bordeaux per glass. Overall left a soar taste for me. My wife and son on tha table was great but at the bar was bad experience, not sure if I would be back there soon. Definitely not our first choice anymore.
