"We were redirected towards this part of the redwood forest after a blizzard shut down i-5. We had no idea that this establishment needed a reservation but Courtney the door staff/server was remarkably kind and was able to get us a seat upstairs for the evening. Lindsey our main server was kind, gracious, engaging and personable. Not once did we feel ushered into a corner or rushed through our dining experience due to our seating circumstances. The atmosphere here is a cozy cottage meets contemporary art house with a single Chihuly chandelier gracing the central staircase. Turkish style rugs line the tables with glass tops assisting the warm tone, lowly lit space. Fresh Lilly flowers are placed throughout the space lending a delicate fragrance to your experience. The food itself is the best in the woods. For those familiar with Elgacho in Seattle, there is a limited menu but it is fresh, locally sourced, and well prepared by the chef. You won 't get a flaming sword with your filet mignon, but this establishment seems to best serve reliable, well known plates with a slight twist of refinement found in their appetiser board flavors, wine paring, and presentation. If you 're hesitant about the price to plating, I assure you, you 'll receive a full plate of food with each course. Arguably there is a time/place for a single leaf lettuce with half a cherry tomato salad but this is not the place for that. You 'll certainly be full before dessert. And yes, you can take the rest home for midnight munching. Overall, if you find yourself driving the 101 I highly recommend a little pre planning to enjoy a meal at this establishment. (which I 'm told also offers outdoor seating in warmer months if you 're worried about Covid). We will certainly stop by again."
