You can tell the chef cares, tries, and succeeds. No part of our meal was lacking or inadequate. We sat on the quaint enclosed garden veranda; ambiance was quiet and romantic. Service was on point and was communicative. Try the (deconstructed) peach napoleon!

One of the culinary highlights of our first ever trip to Mendocino. The beef filets were cooked perfectly. The staff was friendly and accommodating. This will certainly be on our list when we return to Mendocino.
