    This is the best restaurant on the Sonoma/Marin coast. Divine, fresh, seasonal food offerings include: fresh local oysters served with a tangy mignonette, Caesar salad, insanely great mushroom soup, perfectly cooked bavette steak and heavenly halibut. Finish with the bread pudding with pears and you will have enjoyed a perfect meal with brilliant service. Not to mention the perfect martinis. So grateful to be able to enjoy dinners here throughout the seasons!

    It is a wonderful experience to dine here. The food is always superb. I am partial to the fish stew, whose flavors are delicate and soothing, not too tomatoey, not at all fishy. Everything is beautifully presented. The wait staff are gracious and welcoming. They create a comfortable and intimate environment where gentle efficiency rules. The interior of the restaurant is warm, never stuffy or sterile. The open kitchen is bright and clean. THE BEST

    We had the duck and seafood stew, along with mushroom soup octopus salad, and chocolate cake. The food was excellent. The only criticism I have is regarding the duck. I’ve had the liberty duck breast at another location that was far more tender. The dining room was a bit warm, but the ambience was nice. Overall, an excellent experience with decent value.
