★★★★★ 5.0 Black Bear Hiker · Oct 2025

Amazing service and Epic food! Dog friendly and they even sell a "Pup Patty" which our Dani loved! Coffee after noon and it was good and fresh (rare). Would highly recommend you try it!! The carne asada fries are sooo good!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Coach Angus · Nov 2025

A mixed menu of American and French cuisine in an Alpine forest setting. Attentive service and indoor / outdoor seating makes this a unique venue in the region. We discovered this place, open on Christmas day, when we had nowhere else to go. Since then we have visited once or twice a year to enjoy memorable food at a memorable price point (for California). Rustic feel, it is worth the drive.

This place is a mountain gem! Stopped for lunch while on a motorcycle ride. The French Onion soup is absolutely fabulous and the owners/staff are always welcoming and friendly!

Delicious food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere in the woods as we watched the snow fall enjoying the football game. We also got some super yummy French treats to bring home! Thank you for the outstanding experience! You gained customers for life!

This place is not a good place to eat. I have a gluten allergy and ordered their gluten free bun. I was given regular bread and took one bite. Obviously not gluten free. When we went to pay they told us they knew they didn’t give a gluten free bun because she just forgot. Said nothing and let the food be served. Acting like it was not a big deal, I have never experienced this before. Horrible service prices and careless. I would never recommend eating here.
