"we went there for Easter Brunch and as it turns out they just served a slight expansion of their usual brunch menu. The servings were very small and quite pedestrian. For $45 per person, you expect a little more."

"Food, wine and service were GREAT. Unfortunately, in a not very crowded dining room several people were speaking so loudly that everyone in the room was disturbed by the noise. One couple was acting like they owned the place, and we heard a rumor that they did!

Kudos to the employees, we enjoyed the meal very much."

"Had a salad which was very over-priced for what it was...few cubes of beets, cheese and walnuts...not worth the money. Needed something to make it more of a main course which it was supposed to be ie fish etc. Friend had the Prawn tacos which were very nice. No corkage is great which is in keeping with the trend at many local restaurants."

"Our party enjoyed every morsel of the appetizers: beef carpaccio, scallops, and Dungeness crab legs. To avoid plumpitude (Amy Alcorn's term) some had tuna tartare for their entrees, and shared the excellent spinach salad. I had the Arctic char, which was served with a potato cake. We had a theatre event scheduled for 7PM in Santa Maria, so we asked our server to make sure we finished on time, which she did, most graciously.
One quibble: the focaccia should be replaced by a crusty bread, or an interesting multi-grain roll to keep up with the level of the cuisine.
All in all it was a very satisfying dining experience, and we will be back."

"We (party of four all of whom are locals) thought that the menu was too limited in number and variety of entrees and the portions were too skimpy. Prices were not good value bordering on rip off. Will not go again."

"I went with my hun to have brunch and celebrate early Valentine's and everything was so perfect. The food was delicious, prices were reasonable, service was great, and unlimited mimosas were fantastic. The view is spectacular overlooking the ocean. Been there previously at sunset and it was extremely romantic! Love it!"
