The Highs: The Polenta fries were good. Really enjoyed the sauce. They come as a set of 4 big fries. The service was pretty good.

Not my fav. We also ordered the Mac and cheese. It was a little soupy with shells versus elbow macaroni. Also not bad but not my fave. The In-Between: We decided to come here for brunch.

This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Vacaville! I’ve been here multiple times because the food is amazing. The chef changes up the menu and new items are always available when I go. I love the appetizers and the entrees I’ve never been disappointed! The staff is always so kind and very attentive. I would rate this place a 10/10! As someone who is not from California I am so happy I found this establishment.

My wife had the pleasure of dining here and was truly delighted. Each dish stood out for its exceptional quality, perfectly balanced flavors, and flawless execution, clearly reflecting a deep passion for the culinary arts. The care, technique, and love behind every detail are evident. An outstanding dining experience that truly honors the art of fine gastronomy. My sincere compliments to the chef and the entire team.

A regular lunch spot for me. I love their burger in particular but everything I’ve had here has been really tasty. I always get good service. Food comes out in a reasonable amount of time and I’ve never felt rushed to leave when finished. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Vacaville.
