"a beautifully conceived and executed meal, presided over by precise but friendly service that ranks among the best in the Bay Area....At the end of the evening, when the last of the little candies have disappeared, there's a welcome return stroll across the bridge to the parking lot, and a slightly winding drive through the sparkling-wine vineyard. It solidifies an indelible impression of a splendid meal."
Overall Rating: THREE AND A HALF STARS
