Better than expected and not as expensive as expected! Every dish we tried was pretty amazing and the portion sizes were appropriate (not too small, but not offensively large either).

Special place to celebrate my birthday, and then the new year. Our server, Don was amazing and made incredible recommendations all around for a 1st timer. It had a relatively relaxed ambiance with a view of the ocean. Valet was relatively priced well and service was spot on. Definitely a place to visit if you’re in Cardiff.

We met another couple we hadn’t seen in a while, so we wanted to catch up with a couple rounds before ordering food. Our waiter Sam was awesome and we never felt rushed. Everybody ordered something different and each of us enjoyed our meals. Sitting outside has great ambience. We’ll be back next time we’re in the area.

This was our favorite wine country breakfast so far. Everything was cooked to perfection, and I’m very picky about crispy bacon and home fries, well done eggs and a great latte.
