    Quaint place with a solid menu and a great atmosphere. All the veggies we tried -- Snap peas, cauliflower, artichoke hearts were delicious. Paella special with chorizo, chicken & prawns=Excellent

    Tried the specials, pizza with artichoke and the paella. So good! Plus the bread appetizer is amazing. But, I could eat three servings of the Brussels sprouts and bacon for dinner. Amazing!

    The cast iron quick bread is fantastic! Anything on the menu is delicious! Espresso ice cream is homemade and so tasty. Finally- corkage fee helps towards Jack London State Park!

    The Brussels sprouts and bacon dish is the only thing that's been here since the restaurant opened, and there's a reason for that! Yyuuummmm.

    We had 2 pastas (duck confit and mushroom) and the oven roasted cauliflower. The pastas were just OK, and the cauliflower was also just ok. Could have used a squeeze a lemon to brighten the dish.

    Corn for sure! The steak was a little on the salty side if not eaten with a little bit of the other stuff that comes with it.
