We ate here afew weeks ago. We really enjoyed it. Here is what we ate:
Frito misto with porcinis squash blossoms green onions new garlic and mint. Excellent. The porcini were creamy the blossoms were just phenomenal and the onions were better than you might think. Great way to start the meal.
Hand cut pasta with Tomales bay clams gypsy peppers and ginger. I was really looking forward to this dish but felt like it missed the mark. The pasta was a touch too aldente and the clams got lost. It was too subtle for my taste. Could not taste the peppers or ginger at all. The table next to us commented that it could have benefited from some shaved Parmesan. It needed something.
Grilled quail with roasted eggplant and fig mostarda. Excellent. Maybe the best roasted eggplant I remember eating.
Blenheim apricot soufflé with noyau creme anglaise. Excellent. Noyau is the apricot pit which has an almond like flavor which complemented the delicate flavor of the apricots.
Service was very warm. Seemed like it was slightly remodeled and the room had a very warm cozy feel.
