If you have a gluten allergy (celiac) don't even bother. I went for brunch and they couldn't prepare ANYTHING gluten free safe from cross contact - anything really?? Very surprising and disappointing. And the only non dairy milk is Minor Figures oat milk (which is not certified gluten free and thus not safe for celiacs) so I couldn't even have a coffee :/ Atmosphere looked cute, but sadly they can't serve me any food.

Lovely old house with fascinating boulders worked into the interior. Great garden view from main dining room. Trout dinner is scrumptious!

I visited this week with my fiance's family and everything was wonderful. The holiday decor was festive and fun. Parking was a breeze with two parking lots available for diners.
Our waitress Kayla made the entire dining experience a true success. When prompted she recommended a wide variety of dishes while considering the diners preferences and allergies. She was genuinely kind and considerate. Overall the food was excellently prepared. The flavors were prominent but not overly saturated with fats, sugars, spice, or salt.
After considering the recommendations, our table ordered the spiced cauliflower as an appetizer. For mains we ordered the slow roasted braised beff short rib, lamb tart with asparagus, and roasted rainbow trout. We also ordered the mixed green salad, peach tea, mint tea, and the hazelnut crunch bar and the chocolate chip toffee pudding.
There were no complaints at our table. Each entree delighted it's respective diner. We thoroughly enjoyed the appetizer, entrees, and desert. I ordered the trout and it was light fare that was flavorful and delicate. It came with perfectly cooked asparagus. It was a wonderful meal to have the day after Thanksgiving.
I also ordered the peach tea which was fantastic. It was served in an individual sized tea pot (which I loved). My significant other ordered the mint tea and had an equally enjoyable. The tea helped to warm us up since we had just entered the establishment.
We will be returning to the establishment for tea time at the cafe, another round of dinner, and perhaps even the tavern.
Sending a big thanks to the chefs in the kitchen, Kayla, and all the other staff members who made the evening wonderful!
Parking: Plenty of parking. Two parking lots.
The larger lot is short walk from across a small side street. It does NOT require you to walk a busy intersection or freeway, which is great.

Had a lovely time at high tea however I must share my honest opinion. ALL of the tea sandwiches were dry as if they were left out for a period of time . Not only was the bread dry, there was only a smidgeon of condiments present. I was very disappointed. Very expensive for the experience.

First time at the "Tavern". Very pleased with Bar Menu & wide selection of drinks. They do have Happy hour if you are interested too. But the best is the Atmosphere. A young guitar player has a wide range of styles under his repertoire. In all, a Great experience. Congratulations 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Always a charming and delicious dining..have been here multiple times have always enjoyed the beautiful gardens, the charming building, the really delicious food and the staff is very friendly
Vegetarian options: Definitely good vegetarian selections but not a direct menu have alot of different items for everyone, not just vegetarians, but for everyone
Parking: Parking on site and directly across street..all free very nice
Wheelchair accessibility: There are ramps but its a very old building and might have some challenges but has so much charm it could be managed..they are very helpful
We had such a wonderful time here we never picked up our phones to take a single picture. We had originally been seated in a chilly area (and unfortunately we were not layered up properly) but the staff was so friendly and accommodating they picked up on it immediately and let us pick another table to sit by that was more comfortable. It seems like such a minor detail but it genuinely made a huge difference in the entire experience. Our waiter Yeri was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The level of attention we had was appreciated. They made my fiance feel like an absolute princess on their birthday. The icing on the cake (literally) was a birthday dessert Yeri brought out while singing. The food was phenomenal and the experience has us planning our next visit! I wish them continued success.
Thank you for having us!

Yeri was a great server this Saturday, I never had such a fun experience trying their drinks and appetizers and learning more about Zinnia and what there is to do there. Thank you for the magical time, can’t wait for our next visit!
Absolute Gem! The atmosphere, food, and service are extraordinary! Perfect for a double date or any date! Live music, delicious food, pretty atmosphere, and delightful service!
