"Excellent restaurant!! The food was unique and delicious! The wine and beer selection are strong. The menu is rather small, so I do recommend checking it out before going to ensure something sounds great. Between our party, some did entrees while some did small plates, and everything we had was excellent. Service overall was great with good attention to detail for keeping the table clean and organized. We did have two entrees that came out after almost everyone else was done with their food. I wish that would have been a bit tighter. Def recommend for a wine country trip."
