About the restaurant

Enjoy our oft-changing 3, 4 or 5-course Chef's menu for dinner inside our charming cottage or on our heated outdoor patio.

Come take a special journey when you dine at our charming restaurant.

Husband-and-wife team Sachin Chopra and Shoshana Wolff have turned a 1906 Victorian house into a pioneering dining destination that showcases Modern Californian Cuisine. It's local and seasonal whenever possible, but is also so much more. Sachin stretches beyond his classical training to create elegantly composed dishes that subtly hint at Indian, Japanese, Norwegian, Mediterranean and other worldly influences. The result is a unique cuisine with its own distinctive point of view. Warm, professional service and a thoughtful wine list enhance the experience.

We can't wait to see you!

Exceptional dining experience. Every course, from the pre-appetizer to the post-dessert bites, was delicious. The sauces were perfectly matched to each dish. My salmon was cooked to perfection, tender with a lightly crispy exterior. The cheesecake featured a sweet yet tangy sauce—delicious! The table-side pouring of the onion soup was a delightful surprise. An ideal venue for a special occasion.

A friend follows a vegan diet and my husband is vegetarian, so they were thrilled to be able to order anything off the menu. I requested the outdoor patio and we were lucky enough to score the only 4 top table. There was also a 2-person high top, a 2-person table and 2 couch areas with a central low table. The chilled cucumber soup was divine. I like mushrooms but the "crab cakes" made with mushrooms were a little too slimy for me. The mushroom lettuce cups were very good, but I wish the waiter would have told me about the various herbs served with the lettuce so I could experiment with the herbs when I filled my lettuce. My husband thought the "cheese" on the "burger" was a bit too sticky (as vegan cheese tend to be). The menu changes seasonally so we'll be back to try more dishes. Note about noise level: The outdoor area was quiet with a bit of music playing through a speaker overhead. The indoors got quite noisy. It was a Wednesday night but there were a couple of festive groups inside. The restaurant is in the renovated historic Danville hotel building. I believe there were 1 small dining area and 1 medium sized dining area inside.

The staff was awesome - my group was running about 15 minutes late, but they were completely willing to let me wait. We were there for several hours - never felt rushed. And the pizza were excellent. I’ll definitely be back!

Good wines by the glass. Three dips (smoked carrots, cashew, beets) were amazingly delicious. Salad with stone fruit and pistachio dressing was flavorful and refreshing. Caramelized onion flatbread was tasty and perfect to share. Could not help but order their homemade ice creams of chocolate with peanut butter, Madagascar vanilla, chocolate mint. Friendly, attentive, and professional service (Sidney, et al.)
