Dmitrii C. • December 21, 2014High-end restaurant with a local theme: E.g., Acorn Tagliatelle (an excellent dish!) includes acorn flour used by the Chumash for eons. Spacious outdoor patio with mountain views is rare in this town.

Charles E. • August 30, 2014Off the charts delicious. It's a small menu. Each dish is simple in its presentation but rich in its various tastes. Ingredients are local. Highly recommend.
