Currently all of our menus feature expressions of Spring on the Redwood Coast. From our Beet Soufflé and succulent Lamb Shoulder on the appetizer selections to the delicious main course presentation of Duo of Rabbit, these offerings and more are prepared for you with care from Chef Corey Smith.

We have long been supporters of our local farmer’s markets, and individual farms, who provide us with the most wonderful fresh cheeses, meats, seafood, vegetables and local wine. We pay hommage to those who do that for us. We have created a strong network with other restaurants on the West Coast that have always believed in the same philosophy including Sinclair and Frederika Philip at the Sooke Harbor House on Vancouver Island; Ron Zimmerman and Carrie Van Zant at The Herbfarm in Seattle; and Alice Waters at Chez Panisse in Berkeley. Naturally, we are strong proponents of the Slow Food movement, since that is all we have ever done.

Carter Cellars’ cabernet sauvignon and merlot has been noticed by Wine and Spirit magazine, Wine Spectator magazine, Wine Enthusiast, and Robert Parker receiving scores as high as 96 points from these industry leaders. Carter Cellars is now made at our beautiful winery Envy Wines in Napa Valley (Calistoga) California, a joint venture between wine legend Nils Venge and Mark Carter. Stop in and taste the Envy line up in addition to Carter Cellars on your way from the Bay Area to the Redwood Coast. Mark makes the trip once a week, you could see him in either place.
