We went with a couple that works with Grant in the Medical Sales industry. They have been going here for quite awhile and suggested the restaurant. Grant and I had never been and decided to give it a shot.
The food was fresh, and flavorful! They are known for the wine selections as well as Italian cuisine. I suggest this restaurant to friends and family! I can't wait to go back when I can do a food and wine pairing!

Below is the food we ate...
Appetizers we ate:
Bu!alo Mozzarella with Cherry Tomato, Garlic & EVOO Compote 12
Zucchini Blossoms with Goat & Ricotta Cheese in Tomato Coulee 14
Grilled Farmer Bread with marinated Eggplant, fresh Tomatoes, Herbs & shavings of Grana Padano Cheese 6

Food we ate:
Roasted New Potatoes with Rosemary & Garlic 8
Salmon Filet over poached Fennel with Pink Peppercorn!Tarragon Cream Sauce 24
Half Chicken, brick& pressed & seasoned with fresh Lemon, Garlic & Herbs 16

Dessert:
Seasonal Fruit Tart with fresh Whipped Cream 8

Next time I will get the osso bucco! If you live in the Orange County area... GO!!!

Enjoy and Cheers,

That's right folks! Winegirl15 is expecting! But, never fear... I have decided to blog about food since I can't drink! I will be blogging about the restaurants and food I cook. I figured I'm doing quite a bit more eating and since I love dining out and I enjoy cooking... there you go! So, send your feed back and I promise you... winegirl15 will be back!
