The cuisine at this 1923 Craftsman-style house is fresh and flavorful, but for many the extensive drink list is reason enough to show up. The restaurant has more than 500 wines, many specialty cocktails and a large beer selection. Guests can dine in the two upstairs dining rooms or the downstairs bar. With several fireplaces, burgundy leather booths, high-backed arm chairs and American Indian antiques, this restaurant resembles an upscale country lodge.
