Dinner before a Mondavi Center event. Staff are super nice-professional-accommodating. The food is superb. We had crab cakes-moist, deliciously flavorful; Asian Pear salad; lamb chops (juicy, tender, seasoned to perfection, duck, salmon and scallops. We were a party of 4. We were treated extremely well!

What a lovely little hidden gem! My sister-in-law and I enjoyed a fantastic dinner before a jazz concert at the Mondavi Center. She had the king salmon, and I had the lamb. Both dishes were exceptional. Tiffany is a fabulous server and gave excellent insights about the menu and wine list. Highly recommend!

We ate in the outside patio, and it was comfortable even in the chilly, windy weather outside. Service was excellent. One of us had the scallops -- 10/10!, the other the duck breast, 6/10. A great place to celebrate special occasions (birthday in our case).

We sat outside on a cold evening. The heaters and wind breaks they've set up kept it very comfortable. The food was delicious. It's fairly noisy inside and outside. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I had a great experience.
