    Literal perfection. We made the pilgrimage from San Francisco to Los Gatos for their touted 100% Gluten Free Menu. And it was TOTALLY worth it! I can't wait to go back. The menu is divine, and satisfying. And we were pratically treated like family, by Yvonne, the owner/bartender/baker, her son, and our waiter. Thank you Polenteria!!! BRAVI!
