Their aim was to create their own version of classic world cuisine in a comfortable space where family and community could gather for any occasion. The twist is evident in the menus, which sample fare from around the globe. Guests can choose from traditionally prepared Mexican Empanadas or timeless American favorites like the Lamb Burger and St. Louis Ribs.

We had Christmas dinner here, and it did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious. Two of us had the squid ink linguini with mixed shellfish and my husband had the chicken parm. Portions were quite small on the linguini dish and I kind of wish our meals could have included a salad or something, but that’s ok. Service was extremely quick and super-friendly. I would love to go back if we’re in the area again!

The portions were huge and the price was surprisingly fair given the location. We were staying at Carneros resort and called to ask for an earlier time since 8pm was the only available time when we booked online. They were able to accommodate immediately after which we greatly appreciated.
