Highly recommend the chickpea panisse and the oyster mushrooms with miso aioli. Both were amazing. The branzino was good but a little heavily charred for such a light fish. Tasty though. My daughter loved the gnocchi. Our server was an absolute gem. He was super helpful with my food allergies and described some of the menu items perfectly. We shared a bottle of a great Merlot, cab Sauvignon, cab franc French blend. It was amazing! I will return!

Door to the indoor restaurant was locked even though the outdoor dining area was closed due to weather. A little inconvenient, especially for the elderly. Served martinis in wine glasses. Server said they did not have martini glasses available.
