"Of course it's Napa, and Angèle holds its own charms, with towering flower arrangements at the entrance, wood beam ceiling and pots of olive saplings on the white-clothed tables. " Full review
Fodor's "An 1890s boathouse with a vaulted wood-beam ceiling sets the scene for romance at this French bistro." Full review

Michelin Guide 0 Stars
"Torc may be Gaelic for "boar," but the food from Chef Sean O'Toole (who boasts the aforementioned boar on his family crest) is definitely not Irish." Full review

Time Out "TORC's owner and chef Sean O’Toole showcases local farmers, ranchers and seafood in his seasonal menus with changing dishes like lamb ravioli, artichoke velouté with ricotta, pistachio and Meyer lemon." Full review
