    We had a reservation for brunch, and it was delicious! The sparkling wine and Riesling were especially good, as were the fig bruschetta and fried cauliflower. The pesto burrata chicken sandwich was a bit wet (the pesto and burrata really just oozed through the sourdough onto my hands), but the lemon truffle fries were really good. Also liked the crab cake and filet Benedict’s, and the sausage in the ranch breakfast was really good. Our mains were quite slow in coming out, but it gave us a chance to digest after the appetizers, so I wasn’t really that upset!

    Amazing little gem for lunch! $17 per glass of wine, adds up quickly to $50 for three glasses ( fair warning! ) We chose the Maverick wine which was fruit forward. Red and delicious, about $65 USD. The food was art on a plate. My friend had a large mozzarella ball drizzle with balsamic over her pesto chicken sandwich. I also recommend the truffle fries with Parmesan if you're going to have the burger. It was a satisfying lunch and we were glad to take a nice long walk with the scenic view afterwards to pop into some surf shops.

    tuna [very rare] was done perfectly coated paired with wasabi potatoes match was great choice. we also had beef stroganoff and my wife loved the dish.. Zac talked us out of splitting the flat bread [since it was meal size] and we didn't our main course thank you . If we lived here would have brought left overs home..will go back for lunch and split the flat bread!! not easy to find parking but then found a lot behind the restaurant.-next time!!

     we thoroughly enjoyed our experience there last night! Zac was our server, and he easily handled our group of nine people celebrating a 29th birthday. Way to go!
