This intimate Victorian cottage filled with antiques and subdued candlelight makes for romantic dining. The house dates from 1889, the French-Continental restaurant from 1975. Tables are scattered throughout the house and on the enclosed garden terrace; an upstairs wine salon, reminiscent of a Victorian parlor, is a cozy spot for coffee or conversation. Among the entrees are salmon with smoked-tomato vinaigrette, and roast duckling with lingonberry, port, and burnt-orange sauce; main courses are served with soup or salad, rice or potatoes, and fresh vegetables. Follow dinner with a silky crème caramel or chocolate bread pudding. California wines and American microbrews are available, in addition to a full bar; early birds enjoy specially priced meals -- $25 for a three-course meal before 6pm.
