3.0 of 5 stars. This upscale dinner spot located in a beautiful wine country home CLOSED on August 1st, 2008. It will be replaced by a new restaurant named Estate, to open in September 2008. The food was always good…

4.0 of 5 stars. Confused when Open Table offered nary a table for all of August. The man who answered GD's phone vaguely explained their last day was the end of July. Some info from SF Chronicle about this:

3.0 of 5 stars. Why exactly is this place is rated 4.5 stars. The service was good, but the food was forgettable, literally. I can't remember what I or the other three girls I went with ordered.

I'm not so crass as to name an actual server, hostess or cook etc.,whom I actually know nothing about, but I will suffice to say that the service was cold, curt & indifferent. I understand that waiters are real live people too, and they are subject to bad days, as are we all, but, I don't wish to be a viscious boor, with no class and too much spare time, like so many bloggers we hear from over and over again, but I know this establishment can and Will, do better.
