It's a very civil menu, but it's absolutely delicious. We were early in the day around noon so no one was really there. I ordered the chowder and one of the girls wanted to split an egg sandwich with the tater tots so we did that and the other loved her egg and ham breakfast. She says that she has all the potatoes cut fresh, including the hashbrowns. Now I did order a steak from there a few days later and was not very happy. It looked like one of those yeah I just would order the steaks. Everything else was great even the soups are made from scratch.

Sipping wine and watching the fog slowly roll in and out, watching kayakers in the water was a perfect Sunday afternoon. The live chello music playing in the background was a nice enhancement to the ambiance. What was not a positive to the afternoon was the eccentric older lady pestering all the patrons to tip the cellist. I don't think she is associated with the business itself and if she is then a note to them that she's damaging the calm that you've worked so hard to provide your patrons.

A sweet outdoor wine bar near Cafe Aquatica, overlooking the Russian River…read more We stopped in recently on a sunny weekend day after hiking Jenner Headlands Preserve. We bought wine and they let us bring over food from Cafe Aquatica (two doors down in the same building), as long as we removed our food trash. Very cool of them! It was quiet at the wine bar when we were there, but I imagine it's livelier when they have live music going on. Their back patio area connects to Cafe Aquatica's, so we enjoyed the music coming from there. Staff were super friendly and kind, telling us about the smaller production, local wines they offer. I enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc while soaking in some sunshine and river views. Friendly dogs on leash are welcomed! Cheers Friends!

The olive oil tasting was a blast and we found a few new favorites! We will be back for sure.

This time, they have classes it up and it is an attractive place to hang out. They have top-shelf glassware, interesting and satiating cheese plates, and put on a Blind Wine Tasting that was enlightening, educational, and enjoyable! The owners are very knowledgeable and eager to impart their wisdom in a non-threatening and collegial manner that invites further discussion and questions and made for an equally interesting experience for wine knowledgeable and wine novice alike. A fun time was had by all and we will definitely be back again soon!

The tasting fees here if you take all of the above into consideration, are amazing value. Bella GETS IT! They know their wines speak for themselves, and if they provide reasonable tasting fees, the rest will take care of itself as the wines are fantastic. And then, there is Whitney. What a fun, enthusiastic, knowledgeable host. Whitney is wise beyond her years and has a bright future in the industry. We were fortunate enough to catch them on a slow day and had her educate and entertain us for almost 2 hours. We all loved her and walked away with a case of wine. She was also very cool and did not bat an eye when at the end of our tasting, I started calling her McKenzie by mistake.
