Starting with seasonal produce and quality meats, chef Troy Schuster uses a light touch with fresh herbs and savory sauces to create classics such as pan-seared trout with tomato basil butter and capers, duck breast glazed with red wine and served with herbed gnocchi, and a grilled pork chop with crispy polenta. Elegant starters include an heirloom tomato salad in season, and beef tenderloin carpaccio with truffle oil offered year-round. The crisp white aprons of the efficient staff match the bright white walls that contribute to the airy, French country décor warmed by antique furniture and, in evening, the glow of candles. The prix-fixe Sunday brunch, especially good in the pebble-lined courtyard spring and fall, always begins with addictive little lemon-currant scones and orange marmalade. Typical main dishes are wild-caught salmon served over scrambled eggs and a potato cake or omelets with changing varieties of local cheeses and produce. The California-focused wine list does offer a few selections from other regions, among them some worthy Champagnes, such as the good-value Pierre Peters. Light-as-air desserts include house-made ice creams and sorbets and panna cotta. Service is polished, but not stiff.
