A foodie's dream and a true hidden gem - so much so, that even locals we talked to didn't know about this place. The food is delicious and innovative with favorites being the brioche with mushrooms that were so soft and squab with apple jus. It was also overheard that the menu changed constantly, depending on what is in season.
Aside from the great food, seeing Michael and his partner work adds to the experience. What usually happens at the back of the restaurant is right in front of you with counter seating. Michael efficiently makes every dish without any wasted movement and his partner always seems to know when the dishes are ready to be served. It seems like a humble family-run business with the quality of a restaurant that you see on the top of lists.
If staying around Napa, this is definitely worth a drive out for. Although a little over a hundred per person, a similar experience around Napa Valley would be way more. Definitely coming back if we visit the area again.

Absolutely amazing! The hubby and I went for our anniversary dinner and it was by far the best meal we have had in years, probably decades. The wine pairing was also top notch! Can’t wait to come back.

We have been to many of the top restaurants (Disfrutar, Alchemist, Don Julio, Septime, Single Thread, French Laundry, etc). The food here is not quite there, but pretty darn close. Very intimate setting, amazing food, great wine pairings, willing to accommodate my vegetarian wife, great service. We feel like we stumbled upon a future great chef and that Michael will be doing great things for a long time.

I must say I would have never thought a restaurant like this could exist in Vallejo but yet they are going over 12 years strong. Kudos to you and kudos for making Vallejo a destination for fine cuisine

My brother and I had the pleasure of having dinner here on Sunday, which featured the 7 course menu. The vibe was really chill and laid back. The service was phenomenal and very personable. The flavor of the food was so good, and there was a hint of complexity. We spent time trying to figure out the seasonings or ingredients that made everything so good. For this type of meal, you are getting it at a lesser price than you would in other cities. Definitely try it out.

The most unpretentious high end dining experience in the area. The venue is quaint with seating for about 20. Great choice of music playing softly in the background. I loved the husband/wife team approach. They seem to have the timing of everything really dialed in. They were both very pleasant and took turns serving the guests. The food was very good although the cheese plate with a huge slab of brioche bread was not my favorite course. My favorite dish was the morel with caviar. I also really enjoyed the carbonated pears. I recommend that you give it a shot. I will most likely dine there again.
Parking: The parking lot is shared by the other businesses and can get pretty filled up.
