    We had a large group of seven people in a private room. The food was excellent and portions were reasonably sized. We especially enjoyed the polenta bites and the halibut croquettes. Everyone really enjoyed their entrees - mushroom risotto, halibut, and bolognese pasta. Their gluten free bucatini was very good too. Nice cozy ambiance. We will definitely come back!

    Nice ambience and very friendly staff. The no tip policy was also great and should be what this country moves towards. The bread with kale pistachio pesto butter is a must

    Blown away by the service and food! Celebrated my birthday here and I felt extra special when I was presented with a signed card from some of the staff and a ceramic bottle stopper made by the owner. I had the impossible sausage lasagna and hubs had the halibut with gnocchi. Both were delicious! We shared the sundae funday for dessert. We'll be back when we visit Calistoga again!

    My wife says she never thought you could roast a tomato mid-December (she had the bacon-tomato Benedict ) and have it so good. My chilaquiles were seasoned perfectly

    Food was excellent, from starters to dessert. We had the fried polenta, endive and hummus for starters, a gem salad to split, vegan lasagna, and full on meat bolognese for mains, and bread pudding and ‘snickers’ bar for desserts. Service was excellent and unobtrusive - although very attentive to details and personable. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.
