 Nestled at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains in the quaint town of Los Gatos, Manresa showcases chef David Kinch's hyper-meditated, progressive cuisine du terroir. Local Love Apple Farms, which employs biodynamic practices, supplies the restaurant’s produce, conceptually represented in Kinch’s evolved, star dish, “Into the Vegetable Garden…” --- it’s like getting the chef’s credo on a plate. The dish is a holistic composition of the garden’s offerings that day, such as flowers, roots, stems, shoots, seeds, herbs and more substantial produce. As with all Kinch dishes, ingredients might be raw or cooked and feature varying degrees of temperatures. One might encounter duck roasted in hay, green tomato jam and celtuce with a walnut wine. Chocolate millefeuille reveals components of banana and tonka bean cream, sorrel and black sesame ice cream. A six-course menu and a seasonal tasting menu featuring about 12 to 14 courses are available. The wine list evokes a lovely sense of place with the inclusion of local makers while also offering selections sourced worldwide. A refreshed interior comprises a relocated entrance and duo of dining areas, a wine cellar in the restaurant's former foyer, and ten-seat bar and lounge. The revamped space has a more contemporary feel, though the warmth and bones of the 1940's ranch-style building, including the open beam ceiling, mosaic tiled fireplace and curved wall, remain.
