Hazel Restaurant

"Absolutely love this place! Fresh, local ingredients. Pizzas are creative and so flavorful. The gluten free one was just as good as the regular! Worth the drive!"

"We read all good reviews about Hazel while we stayed in Occidental so we decided to have dinner here. We had sourdough bread, fried brussel sprouts (with applewood bacon, lemon, parmigiano ), seafood stew and mushroom pizza. Everything was wonderful, especially the brussel sprouts (the best brussel sprouts dish I’ve ever had). The seafood stew was also delicious and tasted so fresh. The wine selection was fantastic. We were here on Saturday night and it was packed so make a reservation before coming. They also has patio seating if it doesn’t rain."

"Small eatery with homemade food, tucked away in the heart of Occidental. A quick breakdown of my Hazel experience: -The food...amazing! Best pork schnitzel and shishito peppers I've ever had. -The staff...also amazing! Our server was super friendly and took the time to walk is through the menu. -The atmosphere...second to none! I highly recommend Hazel, and be sure to make a reservation."

"This restaurant is incredible. We stopped in for our anniversary. The food is superb and the portions are huge! My wife and I ordered two entrees and a starter and it was so much food. I highly recommend the peppers to start (see pic) and the dessert was out of this world. Their wine selection is quite good, but if you’ve been wine tasting in the area you should consider bringing your own because the corkage fee is only $20."

"I've been here twice now this place is fabulous. wood fire oven Pizzas are delicious. Chicken dish Yes to die for. Fish stew Super flavourful. Pot de creme desert yummy. We had a very fun and attentive Waitress. My 3rd visit was not as good The pizza was watery in the middle The dough never rose in the middle It was soggy, They made it twice the same way. It was a Sunday And they way overbook With not enough Waitress All the tables were shoved close it Was extremely loud and not a relaxing dinner. I think the owner was trying to squeeze Every dime out of the night. If this was my first impression of this restaurant I would never go back. Several workers behind the counter were just standing around while the waitresses were running at full speed. I hope the owner reads this and makes some Changes definitely needs to work on his dough for the pizza. It is not cooked properly in the center 3rd time I've had it this way. Drop it on a hot pizza pan with some oil if you have to."
