Our server was wonderful! We were celebrating my boyfriend’s 12 years of sobriety and the team created a special menu saying “congratulations on 12 years!” At the top. Such a nice touch and very sweet of them. We will be back :)

The luncheon menu features unique ingredient combinations, unexpected flavors, innovative menu choices, and locally sourced ingredients, all superbly prepared. The Dungeness crab fondue was terrific. I ordered the Short Rib Ravioli with porcini mushroom ragu, plated with freshly grilled asparagus and topped with pecorino. Every bite was mouth-watering. My guest raved about her Forest Mushroom Risotto. The seasonal pumpkin cheesecake was amazing.
