We were very excited to try this place out and really enjoyed trying the seasonal brisket and meatball tagine. My husband loved the creative cold brew coffee options and the horchata was delicious (warning though the serving size for the horchata is very small). I really loved the persimmon bread dessert. Reminded me of a richer version of my family persimmon bread. I appreciated that the cost includes the tip as that is how it should be (supporting the staff in the price). We will return to try their changing tasty menu.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in the North Bay and may be the best restaurant in Petaluma. The food is always excellent, as is the service. Additionally, their drinks are amazing, including quite a few coffee drinks unlike anywhere else in town. (We love that Annette (co-owner) usually has txakolina (a Basque white wine) on the menu, as well as several top quality draft beers.) And although they aren't open for dinner, they do hold special dinners from time to time and chef Brian (co-owner) always does a bang up job with regards to quality and creativity. Standout dishes for us include the Cassoulet, brisket, meatballs, picnic plates, bocadillo, and braised lamb, but honestly, you can order anything on the menu and it will be great. It should be noted that this is one of the rare restaurants where the price on the menu is the price you'll pay. There is no tipping required because it's included in the price, and really, they actually discourage adding anything else to the bill.

The brisket was very good. Excellent spices and flavor, and the yams were a perfect match with the eggs and brisket. The meatballs were blain and pretty basic. The owner was curt, uninviting and indifferent. I guess her reviews have gone to her head.
