The noise level made it difficult to have a conversation. And the policy of adding $10 each dish that was shared should have been made clear on the menu. Big surprise. the food was delicious but we ordered 1 salad 1 main dish and 1 glass of wine and the bill was over $100. Too expensive.

A quiet and lovely setting for lunch in an elegant building designed by architect Julia Morgan (hence the name). Attentive service, good food, and quiet enough to have nice conversations without straining to hear. This is a gem!
