    It is pricey, but it was by far the best brunch buffet menu we’ve ever enjoyed. Farm to table quality in tasty salads and roast vegetables. Nice charcuterie and cheese selection. Fresh baked breads and wonderful pastries. Not to mention the fresh seafood, and lamb or trip tip roasts for those who enjoy a heavier meal. Or if you like a more traditional breakfast, there is an omelette station and eggs benedict as well. Something to please everyone, and all of it delicious, served on a lovely patio with live music playing under the gorgeous oak tree below. A delightful brunch!

    Food is always good so is the service. Went for a Valentine’s Day dinner date and the owner was going around greeting guest and handing out roses…so sweet!

    I came here as a fan on the movie Sideways. My meal was excellent and the service was even better. I had filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. Lentil soup was superb! My server was Autumn and she was personable, professional, polite, and provided excellent service. The wine was excellent. I would highly recommend the Hitching Post II.
