   Napa who?….Mustard Seed proves that you don’t need to travel into the “Valley” to get a delicious, high end meal with fresh local ingredients and great service. First of all our server, Kim was ON POINT! This guy was clearly a master of his craft and gave us a great experience. We started with the salmon carpaccio. The dish was perfectly balanced with smoky salmon, salty capers, juicy orange segments, fresh dill and crisp fennel. For our second course my guy had a salad and I had the parsnip soup. I don’t know much about the salad except he absolutely loved it, but speaking on the parsnip soup; it was like a warm bath and a good book on a rainy day. Like a hug from inside. It was silky smooth and bursting with flavor. For our mains he had the steak which was perfectly cooked. My rack of lamb was executed perfectly. It was like butter it was so tender and succulent. I highly recommend trying this restaurant out. We will definitely be back!

   The food was good but our waiter Kim was excellent! Really superior service from him. He’s a waiter that really knows his craft.

   I was very excited to try a highly rated OpenTable restaurant with excellent reviews. I have never felt more rushed at a dinner, ever. I was given the bill before I received my dessert and coffee as I was told they “needed to run the numbers”, this is just poor form and rude. There is a difference between doing side work and making feel intentionally uncomfortable.
