Amuse bouche--Smoked Salmon with Dijon Mustard. This was quite tasty.

Seared Sea Scallops, Basil & Walnut Pesto, Egg Noodle--$34. The scallops were well cooked but the pasta was just okay.

Farmer's Market Fall Stew--$28. Niman Ranch pork shoulder, Japanese sweet potatoes, cipollini onions, apple cider, parsnips and carrots. Although the pork was fork tender, this was too sweet for me.

Sonoma Duck Leg Confit, Duck Fat Fried Potatoes, Frisee, Green Bean & Kohlrabi Salad--$29. This was the best of the 3 entrees. Tender duck with crispy skin and the most amazing fried potatoes.

Granvenstein apple cake with cream--$10.
