During a week long trip to the wine country, a friend suggested we stop here for lunch here because it is one of her favorite dinner destinations, but she had never been for lunch. It was a weekday, so it wasn’t very crowded, and the majority of the people who were dining looked like they were retired. Food and service in the airy, cottage-like dining room were fine, but nothing was particularly memorable or exciting. It was kind of vanilla, actually. There are so many spectacular food and wine experiences in that neck of the woods that I don’t think I would go back unless I happened to be in that exact area and were famished.
Dishes Tried:
Escargot
I started with the escargot – half a dozen in their shells with a standard garlic parsley butter. The escargot was tender and the sauce was good, although it could have had a little more garlic.
Stuffed Grape Leaves
I opted for the dolmas under the Soups/Salads/Small Plates section of the menu as my entree. It came with three large grape leaves stuffed with lamb and wild rice. It sat atop sliced cucumbers, yogurt and golden raisins…LOTS of golden raisins. The dolmas were tasty but in lieu of the yogurt with sweet raisins, I would have preferred more acid – a few lemon slices would have done the trick.
Artichoke
I love artichoke, especially when it has been grilled and has a smokey flavor. This one was very plain and came with a bland aioli – in one word, it was boring. It could have used some salt and pepper at least.
