This is the terrace located on the second floor above Wine Country Trattoria. I've been wanting to try it for a while, and we finally had a chance to have dinner there tonight. The menu seems a lot bigger than I recall when I looked at it previously, but I might just be mis-remembering. We had the beef tenderloin sliders (the beef was very nicely cooked, still pink, good flavor), the classic bruschetta was ok (I thought the parmesan pieces were too big and needed to be shredded more - they really overpowered the olive oil and garlic), and my favorite was the fritto misto (lightly breaded calamari, mussels, green beans and artichoke hearts). Here are pics of those items. (https://twitter.com/cstephens2/status/838600377146589184) The husband had a flight of reds and enjoyed tasting two new wines. There are a few other things on the menu I'm interested in trying. Here's the menu. (https://twitter.com/cstephens2/status/838600344561078272)
It was busy but not full when we were there, and the staff was pretty attentive. It was a little cold out tonight, but they had the heaters on, so it made for a pleasant outdoor evening. The winds had blown away the earlier rain clouds, and there was a terrific view. I was sad to see the empty seating for the other restaurant that used to be there. I still wish they'd do something with that space.
