Executive Chef Kelli Crosson leads a farm-to-table kitchen whose daily-changing menu draws from local farmers' markets, ranchers, and fishermen. Expect dishes like ramp and asparagus soup with Dungeness crab, crispy kanpachi with Bloomsdale spinach, and green garlic risotto with morel mushrooms. Live music Wednesday through Friday. Reserve the terrace at sunset for the full experience.
