"Eat among the redwood trees but indoors on this cozy place. Reservations are always good, but i noticed people eating at the bar. We saw Santa and one of his lady elves dropping by. He is a bit early, but maybe he is checking out who is naughty and nice. We got seating on the tree side. They do light up some trees outside but hard to tell since the reflection of lights from the window was hard to see. We got two slices of complimentary bread. Extras will cost you $5. But the bread was so good, crispy crust and sourdough taste and soft in the inside. We were treated garbanzo bean cubes. Two little cubes. Delicious. The cream on top seems to have tiny Sriracha sauce. This is a set menu so i won't write about the choices. Check on line. We had quail and scallops first course. Bass and Sonoma chicken. Chocolate bar and Bourbon banana cream pie. You can tell if your guests like the food by how clean their plates are. Scallop was hugh (2). Quail was stuffed (my first choice). Fish skin was super crispy and so was the chicken, which came with super creamy sweet potato. I had the maitaka mushroom. I didn't taste the bourbon. That chocolate bar had hazelnut crust and so chocolatety! With espresso ice cream. At the very end, two complimenatarey little marmalade miniature tiny! cake. Service was great. Thank you Eder, our server. Delightful. 20% automatic service charge. You leave there $107 per person. Well worth it. I saw someone ordering ribeye and hamburger, so there are options. We weren't told, but i was super happy with what we got. The portion was big enough. No idea why someone commented small portions. We had a lovely dinner. It is super dark driving home. You with the high beam, lower them. Saw 3 deers nearby."

"during the pandemic i'd order takeout from this place, and was always satisfied with my order....last weekend, i finally decided it was time to dine-in! hubby and i arrived around 1130 on sat morning and it was medium busy, we probably missed the early morning breakfast crowd! we were seated at a table in the corner, and right away, i noticed there was a pretty big crack in the table, it was cosmetic, but big enough that i kinda looked at it the entire time and felt it underneath my elbow. also, the noise level is quite high, unsure if this is due to the loud couple at the table next to us, or the low ceilings, but it was difficult for me to converse with my husband during our hour there. i ordered the veggie omelet with mushrooms, bell peppers, onions and spinach. as usual, i requested egg whites, ensured there was no cheese, and chose whole wheat toast. for the potato option, i chose the hash browns and gave them to my hubby. speaking of which, he ordered the bacon cheeseburger, roughly a 1/3 lb patty with american cheese, applewood bacon, mayo, lettuce and tomato, with a side of french fries. we both enjoyed our food, nothing out of this world, but enough to fill our tummies after a moderate saturday morning workout. we actually ended up taking most of the fries and hash browns home, so the portions were definitely generous. and for $40, incl tax and tip, we were pretty satisfied. limited and tight parking in their dedicated lot...if full, you'll need to park on the street."
