 McPhee's Grill Restaurant Review: McPhee’s was doing wine-friendly cuisine before there was much of a wine industry in the area, and it’s still a destination for both locals and visitors. Steaks and seafood dishes are menu signatures, especially the macadamia nut-encrusted halibut, top sirloin with roasted tomato jam, and apricot and ancho glazed pork chop. However, smaller plates also deliver big flavors: grapefruit salad with Point Reyes blue cheese, mushroom and potato pizza, and Kung Fu baby-back ribs with just enough hoisin flavor. For dessert, we gravitate to the crème brûlée, but ice cream lovers should go for the whopping hot fudge or butterscotch sundaes (note that the staff can usually be talked into a half-and-half order). The wine list reflects the restaurant’s longtime support of the region’s wineries, and the house Cabernet is made by Chateau Margene, a local label, while the other house wines are crafted by Jim Clendenen of Au Bon Climat. |
