Gift Tips

  • Try the Santa Maria BBQ or wagyu tri-tip for a menu item that reflects the restaurant’s Central Coast focus.
  • Save room for Baked California, a creative dessert that gives a memorable finish to the meal.
  • Ask for a wine recommendation with dinner, since the staff is known for helping guests find strong pairings.
  • Consider the sourdough with cultured butter, local olive oil, and bacon-date jam as a standout starter.
  • If the main dining room is booked, look into bar seating or the heated patio for another comfortable way to dine.
