    What a pleasant surprise. It is much more affordable and delicious than one would expect out on the Sonoma coast. Great views of the bay. Will difinatley return

    I had a cucumber salad for starters. It was drenched in oil, the herbs added a little taste. The black rice bowl, was again very oily and very bland, there definitely needed to be some spices. The pickled mushrooms were nice. The only interaction we had with the waiter was: can I take your plates? He didn't ask why I barely touched the black rice bowl. Stunning view though

    Wow!! This hidden gem is a wonderful find! Took my boy Brey to Dillon Beach and then here for brunch. The roads in the area are dicey- on the level of Hwy 1 but worth it. I had the BEST Eggs Benedict of my life!! Seriously the potatoes were cooked exactly how I like crispy on the outside soft inside- nothing soggy or mushy. The bearnaise was perfect, I love when they stick to traditional English muffins and ham- both excellent! Egg poached perfectly. I fear I am now ruined for any other eggs Benny!! In fact a place I subsequently went and ordered used brioche bread - which soaked up all the good flavors and left w w a mouthful of bread!! Thank you for what will likely be the Eggs Benedict that all future EB will be compared with!! Phenomenal!
