I love this restaurant very cozy and the history amazing

The food was home-like and delicious. Everybody was super nice and friendly. The restaurant was cozy and atmospheric.

The chef is a professional, but the staff all volunteer. You can tell they all love their jobs.

I have taken over a dozen people, and all have returned on their own. There is a fixed menu, plus at least three special items presented every week.

It is hidden in plain sight among the Victorian houses, a couple of blocks from restored Old Town.

Great dining in a historic setting with knowledgeable, friendly and helpful service by a dedicated team of great servers.

Friendly young ladies welcome you like family. I love them all! Food is great- the rolls are finely baked, creamy lettuce soup is to die for, and the creme brulee is just superb!
The store boasts of rare finds- books from the 1930s, an embroidered autographed cap. Glad I stopped by to see the house.

Delicious food, gorgeously restored home and charming experience. I would plan my travels along 101 to make sure I’m passing through during lunchtime.

We didn't go to the restaurant but had a tour. The tour was great and the volunteers were so informative, helpful and friendly. The house has been excellently restored and beautiful.
