   We were shocked to see not one single organic item offered on the menu. Especially since there are so many amazing farms nearby, the restaurant could have easily paired with a local farm and done some beautiful farm to table offerings. The noise level was so high we opted for sitting outside on a cold, windy March evening with non working heaters just to have some peace and enjoy the epic views. The server honestly probably just forgot about us which is understandable since no one else was dining outside. But still, we were disappointed that once our food was delivered no one checked in with us about the food, to see if we needed anything and never brought the bill. I think it took a fellow staff member who left the premise and came back seeing us still there that alerted her to come check on us. This place has SO much potential. PLEASE consider adding organic fare to your menu.

   Our food was surprisingly good! The grilled polenta with mushrooms was delicious and the rib eye was fantastic - cooked perfectly! Really impressed with the quality of the food and the preparation.

   Nice restaurant with nice views. Menu on line is not current menu. Food was okay and so was service. Nothing special but ok for a dinner out while rving.

   It took forever to get our food. One side dish came after we were done eating. The staff do not speak English which makes it a difficult experience. Our waitress was either overworked or scatterbrained. Food is generally good, but the last few times we’ve ate there have been difficult experiences.

   For dinner we both had entrees, linguine and clams beef ragu both excellent. House salad great. Unfortunately the deserts were not too. Key lime pie crust hard inedible , apple crisp topping was like raw oats sugared. If they brought in desserts rather than make in-house meal would’ve been great.

   Amazingly good restaurant in the middle of the road between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz.

   Love the rustic setting and wanted to try the lunch having been here for dinners. The service was almost non existent on the recent Saturday we went. No hostess to greet us and had to chase down waited to seat us and take our order, all which took nearly 20 minutes. Once we ordered it arrived hot and the fried chicken sandwich we wanted to try was a winner, served on a brioche bun with a dab of coke slaw and a sauce we opted out of asking for bbq instead. The grilled cheese was a bad choice made on thick bread buttered bread with scant cheese and a mound of awful sweet onion jam. It was accompanied by this class pasty tomato soup. We wish we had both ordered the fried chicken since the chef doesn’t get great led cheese requires lots of cheese.

   The food was lovely and delicious. The ambiance could hardly have been better. It was a destination in itself. I look forward to going back soon.
