Recently, Mrs. Vine Hill Chef dined at Pesto with a few of her friends and asked me to relate her experience. It went like this:
WARNING! Stay away! We made reservations for an early evening dinner on a weeknight. We waited for 1 hour beyond the time we arrived for our food to be served. My dish “The Special”, was not cooked. I ordered the salmon, not fish tar-tar! Lots of water refills came to us during our hour wait, but no bread was ever served to us while waiting for our orders to arrive. At no time was there any explanation for this unacceptable delay. The restaurant was not busy that evening…..it was like the the wait-staff was waiting for the chef to arrive from somewhere to prepare our dinner. I ended up leaving my uncooked salmon barely touched, and when it was cleared, there was no inquiry as to why I had not consumed it. My friends were able to eat their food, but all agreed it was less than a Ho Hum dining experience, and not one we would repeat or reccommend any time soon! Avoid this one at any cost!!!

After waiting for weeks for Pesto to open I finally had the chance to eat there Sunday afternoon. It exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing. Very fresh tasting. The presenation was beautiful. You can tell a lot of love goes into it! The staff was very friendly and personable. The kind of people that would remember your name when you return. My new favorite place. I can’t wait to see what they come up with for dinner. Yummmmmy

I’ve been watching the progress at Henweigh as I drive by every day to and from work. Can’t wait to try it. Stella’s was always a favorite until Greg moved to Russian River Vineyards. It just never was the same, even with a great location like at the former Topolos. Corks has been a major disappointment. It will be nice to have a choice for a change in Forestville. It’s been either high end or low end with nothing in between. If they cook a good steak they’ll be a hit.
