    Our experience started at the front door with my request to have our table set for side by side dining and immediately handled by the lovely receptionist. The room is the most unique dining spot in Santa Rosa and it's fun to watch the bar work and see all of the dishes being served. It's styled as a high end bistro and certainly comes off in that realm. Our waiter Ben was well versed in the menu and adept at offering wine selections to match with our menu selections. The menu prices are reasonable for the style and quality of the food but I have to say that the wine list is priced for the destination customer who is looking for an experience. A very pleasant and comfortable experience overall
