    Dog food
    A. R.

    Disastrous meal. I got the same dried out shrimp as a previous review stated. Grits were like over cooked polenta. Some weird salty braised meat on top w a smear of bad bbq sauce on the side. I grow the same lettuce in my garden that looks better than what I was given. Idt a sawzall would have gotten through the mutton my companion ordered. I know how to break down meat & I've never seen a lamb chop cut like this. The toddler is a whole norther story! OMFG. I was really looking forward to this evening. Bad all the way around. Oh ya, them tables are disgusting too!

    Children's toy/walkers in the way

    I'm so confused...this place seems to be doubling as a daycare? Two shrieking children are here and appear to be the children of one of the servers. The other server is wearing a child on her back, and there are multiple large toy things in the way. In addition to that bizzareness, the food is bad. The burger seems to be a pre frozen patty, no flavor. The shrimp and grits are a tiny portion of four shrimp with a sliver of grits cake. The grits are the only decent part. The shrimp is very over cooked, as well as some dry little fish cake of some kind. How this place is so highly rated is beyond me. It's awful. After receiving the food we've been ignored and I think it's because they know how uncomfortable this situation is.

    Taste to believe!!

    The level of taste, environment and ART is a perfect combination for an experience of a lifetime. Animators, this is BEYOND a biblical feast!! Be inspired here!!

    Steak with Balsamic Reduction

    Our group of 9 had an excellent experience at Rock Sea's. Starting with great cocktails and wine with two charcuterie boards, perfect for 9 people, which included crispy bread, cheese, meats and pickles including pickled ginger. Then a round of delicious Caesar and grilled peach salads. A variety of main dishes came out at the same time, which has been an issue sometimes with our big group. Mains included shrimp with a slab of deep fried grits, pork roast with grits, steak with balsamic reduction, fried chicken with dipping sauce & fries and even a yummy hamburger. Our servers were very friendly & attentive and showed their true appreciation to everyone. It's a small local place that did a great job taking care of our large group. I give Rock Sea's FIVE STARS!

    I was in such a slump for a couple of days and my husband forced me to go out in public for a meal. What a treat... The food, artistic vibe and the friendly owner and waitress really made my week and put me back on the right track. Rock Seas is such a great treat! An absolute must try!

    It was my first time visiting Catelli's, but my friends are regulars and knew exactly what to…read moreorder. We decided to share several dishes family-style, which was the perfect way to sample a variety of menu items. Every single dish was a 10+ in my book! The food was absolutely delicious, and I can see why my friends keep coming back. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The restaurant was easy to find, and I loved the charming décor it felt like a genuine Italian restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. One of my favorite surprises was the Limoncello Spritz. After a day of wine tasting, it was the perfect light and refreshing drink to end the day. Great food, outstanding service, and a wonderful dining experience. I'll definitely be back!

When we arrived it was…read morebusy because there was a lot of Prom Students out for dinner, the hostess was very kind and apologetic that as walk ins we were unable to be be seated but she did let us know that it was first come first serve at the bar. My party sat down at the bar and it did appear the majority of the people at the bar were also eating. The Bartender and At this point our server also was incredibly. She was so busy every single one of the bar seats was taken, and she did a fantastic job balancing all of it. Overall the food was an exceptional experience. For starters we got the truffle fries, and A Minestrone soup. The truffle fries were delicious, and had a bit if a kick to them so if you dont like spicy keep that in mind. The Soup was delicious and a great size for the small soup portion. I ordered the Lasagna with meat sauce and its light delicate layers were delicious, and perfectly balanced with the cheese. The server was helpful and informative and told my friend about the Mushroom cream sauce for her ravioli that if you love mushrooms you'll love it but if you don't then steer away. And we LOVE mushrooms and the ravioli paired perfectly with the heavy mushroom cream sauce. We also got the Steak and ordered it medium rare, when it came to us and it was closer to blue/rare the server/bartender didn't hesitate to apologize and in a flash take it back. The cooks remade it and it was perfectly medium rare with that nice browning on the outside and a small bit it pink in the center. We were very satisfied and it was such a lovely touch the manager did come out before the end of our meal to ensure we were satisfied and apologized for the discrepancy in the meal. The fact it was busy every single table full and the bar also being full and the manager still coming to ensure our satisfaction was what true hospitality is all about!! 100000% recommendations for this place and will be coming back!

    I realize this is a very small town with a very small market. However, considering that it…read moreattracts and caters to tourists, a bit disappointed that they didn't have better gluten free options considering the significant progress in GF pizza crust technology. The kale and cabbage salad was innovative with a fermented garlic vinaigrette dressing with crispy kale (never had that before) and marcona almonds. It was a substantial salad for two and was delicious - not too much dressing, the dressing wasn't overpowering, the cabbage was crisp - it all worked really well. Because they didn't have gluten free pizza crusts, got the asparagus, green garlic and speck pizza toppings over polenta, which came out sizzling hot in a pan. It probably was great as a pizza, but not great over polenta. The pizza's looked large, so instead of getting a pizza that would only be half eaten, ordered the radiatorre pasta with pork ragu as the second entree. The pasta was fresh, substantial and delicious. The ragu was good, not too saucy, but a little bland. It could have benefited from some fresh basil and a little more... oomph. The local wines - barbera and granache - were not our favorites so we ordered a bottle of sangiovese. Fairly pricey - it all came out to over $200.

    The food and hospitality at Offspring are truly above and beyond. You can feel the care in every…read moredetail, from the flower arrangement out front to the simple, elegant food and attentive service. My friend and I were visiting a nearby winery and stopped by for a quick bite, and we were genuinely blown away. The tuna crudo, duck pâté, wines, desserts, and small bites all felt on the level of highly praised spots in San Francisco, but with incredible value. If you're traveling through Anderson Valley or heading toward Mendocino, I can't recommend Offspring enough. Excited to come back.
