"I know that people can be overly-dramatic in their reviews, but this really was one of the worst restaurant meals I have ever had. I should have walked out in the middle, but I felt sorry for the owners and I kept hoping it get better. I could write paragraphs about what was wrong and it would read like an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. The ambiance is where I would start. The staff and their friends are just hanging out, talking and joking loudly, playing with the kids. The customers are obviously in the way. The menus stick to the tables. (Yuck!) The food is abismal. The lamb shank: tough and dry. The "beet salad" was mostly lettuce and cheese with hardly any beets at all. And all of the plates came rimmed with a sticky sweet cinnamon syrup garnish (imagine this on your meat or salad.) They seem like nice people but they are totally in over their heads."

"This establishment is outstanding. Fully equipped with the best service, exceptional menu and mouth watering food. The owners are so sweet and personable. We had such a great meal and really enjoyed the ambiance. Each time we are in Hopland this will be our go to. Full bar included!."

"My wife and I ate there tonight. Great food and nice couple running the place. Would very much go back again. They actually raised the two meat dishes we had to night. Amazing."

"We dined on a Sunday night where there was a couple ending their meal when we walked in. It was a slow night and it had rained that afternoon. We could choose any seat. The wine list features local wineries (wide range of price per glass). The entrees were on the pricey side (value for money). We inquired whether the peaches were still fresh “in season” for the salad. They answered “yes” We should have followed our gut as the peach felt past its prime as a salad ingredient but probably great for a dessert. The asparagus was tasty but a little sad in its appearance. The scallop entree was great except for the watery quinoa. The spicy mussels (not pictured here) were tasty. The flourless chocolate cake dessert was also good. Overall the food was a 3.5 star rating. The cool wood tables and tile mosaics give this cottage-like venue an eclectic vibe. I’m rooting for this local restaurant. Hopefully there are more patrons to maintain sourcing great produce."

"This used to be a very well respected dining spot pre pandemic. After they reopened the food has suffered. I loved the service. Super sweet and attentive. I also love the fact they raise their own animals. But the food was not up to par ( like in quite a few eateries in town). I hope the owner will pull through and get back to former glory. Please do not drink the house wine if it is MILANO. It is bad. However, if you actually don’t mind the uncontrolled fermentation in their bottles, then you can go down the street and buy it for $1.50 a bottle at the winery."
