  Great staff @ stinky old grandpas' garage on a perch up 30 feet in the air (great, great grandpa?) My date was appalled by the shower "curtain" next to her, and the extremelely very old smells from the very old dry moldy type wooden stuff that has been on the walls since - god's angels know when? Opened in 1954? Well, maybe the 70's was the last "renovation" - So to make a trip with a streatch limo worth it, we ate 2 appetizers, the rizoto was respectable, though plated with 2 carrots on top (uh?) and the crab cakes looked "good" on the plate, but were salty, typical average... We got 2 desserts, the Creme' brulee, which was the best EVER ! all the layers were perfect ! The Coffee icecream on top of bread pudding dessert was very average. Take all the good stuff off the walls, and repaint, so that nasty old stank goes away... Fix the stairs, and lighting. My date thought she was in Mormon hell. I tried to make the best of it... Great staff! You know a place is great & excited, when people are laughing and having a good time. Not here, very sullen...boring in fact, even on Valentines Day. There is an aire of false pride here, that is discomforting too. The prices are somewhat high, but being 12 miles up the canyon is the real pleasure.
