It was so yummy! My dad even copied me because he loved it so much. We all had the sourdough bread and it was out of this world! The waitress was so kind. I also like that there's lots of plants where we ate.

A little anxious as we're really set with a bunch of awesome restaurants and places to go - but…read moreincredibly friendly greeting at the door, found places at the bar for 2 easily and got great dinner suggestions ... We had a Ravioli as starter. It was heavenly delicious. I'm a bit confused as I just checked with the menu and I would've sworn ours had sausage in it - but the menu doesn't have that ... And then we had the Lion's Mane Mushroom: I have so far only made Lion's Mane myself, so odds were: I won't like their's ... yeah, I was wrong! It was very good and even my better 2/3s who is not a Fennel fan loved the shaved Fennel. We had both, a glass of their Chianti Classico as well as Cabernet Sauvignon - I'm picky, so do take this with 2 grains of salt: wasn't a fan of either. Keep in mind: taste buds are different!! Just because I didn't like them ... but I did love their awesome background tune selection: unintrusive chill downtempo tunes. Next to us a we met a bunch of friendly other patrons and together with them and the 2 bar keepers we had enough conversations to enjoy but not too much (if you know what I mean). We will be back for more!

The venue itself is beautiful. The martini was good. Unfortunately, that's about all I can recommend. It was a Sunday night at 6pm. The rock band downstairs was annoying (and playing to an almost empty bar), half the entrees on the menu were not available, and the pizza we were able to order seemed underdone and floppy. When we communicated our disappointment, no accommodation was offered. We were the only table in the dining room. I can understand why.

We took some wine slushies to go and enjoyed them later.

Seems like it's an older spot and it's got a sort of rustic vibe that fits its location in the hills. Got a cran and soda and ordered some fish and chips for myself and chicken strips for my buddy to go. Service was fast and friendly from the eccentric and spirited ladies working the bar. Fish and chips were solid, nice and crispy meat and perfect fries. Extra points for waiting to cook my to go order so it was ready by the time I was getting ready to leave. I wish I wasn't the DD that night so I could enjoy a more spirited beverage. If I'm ever back up that way, I'll be back

The tea room itself is beautiful, with the most charming Pride and Prejudice, Downton Abbey, and Jane Austen-inspired touches. It truly feels like stepping into another time!

Of course, we couldn't leave without buying some of the tea to take home! I absolutely loved our visit and will definitely be coming back. If you love tea, beautiful surroundings, and all things Jane Austen, this is a must-visit!

Went for Rapunzel tea. Felt food wasn't as good. The salmon…read moresandwich wasn't great The frittata was dry and bland. The scone only came w jam and no clotted cream unless you knew to ask for it. Service seemed frazzled even though you have mandatory 18% tip for everyone. If we have to tip that much... perhaps hire a 3rd server?? I mean, the servers are probably getting at least $150+ in tips for 1.5hr of service... that's $100/hr in tips alone. The tea for the kids wasn't served until we asked either. The biggest negative this time is the giant TV playing Tangled. The screen time just stole all the girls attention and it was hard to get them to engage for photos, food, etc. If we wanted to just have the girls absorbed in TV we'd just stay home and watch tv for free... we weren't seated so close to the tv last time so it wasn't an issue but... i just think it really takes away from the experience if u end up near the giant tv

It's huge, largely empty, and quiet, perfect for a contemplative experience with your food. At dinnertime on a Friday my nearest neighbors were twenty feet away kneeling at a Japanese-style low table. I got to vibe in the quiet background music and the distant Friday night sounds of downtown. I tried the pork ramen, which felt a bit Americanized (kale, corn, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, half a ramen egg, and spicy ground meat in what appears to be a vegetable broth), but had surprising heat build-up as I ate and a pleasant aftertaste. The real highlight was the tea service. I ordered some red chai, which was served with a small teapot to table-steep it in; a carafe of hot water; and a tea box to pour out the first wash into. The server walked me through the process and the tea was fantastic, with a marvelous spice balance. Next time I think I'll try the poke bowl the other reviewers have enjoyed. They've been open since December, though only at peak times - worth a look if you want something different.

Some things are just too good to last. Sadly this place is one of them…read more **LOCATION & DECOR** The decor hasn't changed--wooden floors, brick walls, high ceilings, and sparse seating. It's always been minimal yet warm, but something felt off this time and the one before. The usual calming video of California waves was missing, replaced with a blank wall and '50s oldies music that completely clashed with the vibe. It felt disconnected from what usually made this place so special. **FOOD & DRINK** Ramen: Severely under-seasoned and watery. What used to be a flavorful, hearty bowl now feels lackluster and uninspired. Wakame Salad: The portion was noticeably smaller--20-30% less than usual. Not what I've come to expect from this place. PRICE: $$ I've always been willing to pay premium pricing for the quality, atmosphere, and service, but this time, it just didn't deliver. **SWAG/AMENITIES** - Cozy and unique decor (still a plus) - Menu variety for tea and ramen lovers - Used to have a calming atmosphere (not this time) **STAFF & EXPERIENCE** This is where things really fell apart. The service was slow from the start--30 minutes for drinks, 40+ minutes for ramen. The servers were dry, unpersonable, and barely engaged with us. They didn't introduce themselves or try to make any connection. It's hard not to miss Jenna, who was always warm, kind, and inviting. She had a way of making the experience unforgettable, and maybe even made the food taste better! **FINAL THOUGHTS** Mantra Tea House used to be my favorite spot in town. I came here regularly, twice a month, and never thought I'd feel this let down. The food, service, and atmosphere have all taken a dive, and it's just not the same place I fell in love with. Sadly, I think this was my last visit.

It's a beautiful wedding venue tucked among the mountains. The couple were attentive and did their best to serve us in a timely manner. It seems like they have a handful of guests at a time. The real highlight is the highland cow tours. Our guide was super knowledgeable and you can tell he has a really strong relationship with the cows. We loved being able to get up close and pet them. The wine itself was good. I think I preferred the Chardonnay and Rose. There was also great pizza being served by what seemed to be a local young man. The wood fire gave the pizza a great char. I would say the fig and balsamic was a little on the sweet side so I would recommend less honey/fig/sweet balsamic glaze.
