Menu & prices

Printed weekly, because it changes weekly.

Prices are what you'll pay — no service fee added at the end. Allergen and diet tags are listed on each dish, and the kitchen can modify most plates if you tell your server.

Menu FAQ

Prices, allergies, and corkage.

How often does your menu change with San Benito County seasons?

Starters and mains shift most weeks as local produce comes in and out of season. Core dishes like our brick chicken and grain bowl remain year-round, though the accompanying vegetables change to reflect the best of what is currently growing near Highway 156.

How much is dinner per person?

Most guests spend $45 to $70 per person before drinks: a shared starter, an entrée between $24 and $36, and dessert. Brunch runs $16 to $22 per plate.

Do you have a corkage fee?

Yes — $25 per 750ml bottle, limit two bottles per table, waived if you also buy a bottle from our list. We don't allow outside beer or spirits.

Can your kitchen accommodate food allergies for diners?

Please inform your server at the start of your meal. Every station in our kitchen can list specific ingredients, and we utilize separate gloves and boards for allergy tickets. If we cannot safely prepare a dish, we will let you know rather than guessing.

Is there a kids' menu?

Not a printed one. The kitchen makes a simple pasta with butter or red sauce, or grilled chicken with potatoes, priced at $12 for anyone under twelve.

Do you offer takeout?

Yes, from the full dinner menu, ordered by phone. Larger family-style trays for offices and gatherings need 48 hours notice and are listed on the reservations page.

Do you offer non-alcoholic beverages for those driving Highway 25?

A full zero-proof list at $9 — house-made shrubs, sodas, and spritzes, built by the same person who writes the cocktail list.
