Editorial Review for The Plumed Horse – by Laura Reiley
The Scene
The six dining rooms each maintain a discrete personality. There's the intimate Gold Room bathed in light from stained-glass windows; the airy Green Room, a banquet room; and the Cellar Room for wine-maker dinners and wine tastings.
The Food
Seared Sonoma foie gras is centered in a pool of dusky veal demi-glace, swirled purple from fresh boysenberries and black raspberries. A proponent of organic farming, the restaurant showcases a salad of greens from which organic baby beets, turnips, fennel and other vegetables peak out, all glistening with a blood orange and basil oil dressing. Entrees include the seared Morgan Hill ostrich filet, brought back into the fold by slivers of black truffle and thin pan-seared slices of foie gras, spring carrots and haricots verts.

I had dinner here with a friend since the new remodeling and we were very impressed. We both weren't expecting the restaurant to look half as good as it did. The moment you step into the Plumed Horse, you feel like you're at a restaurant in San Francisco. The changing lights in the main dining room are genious. Both me and my friend had the tasting menu, which we enjoyed. The Foie Gras was delicious, as well as the souffle at the end. Very nice setting and service, plus amazing food. We'll definitely be back.
Pros: Food, Service and ambience
Cons: Not for kids

What a disaster. Totally not worth the price or the pretense. The Chef decides what you like, and if it isn't fat, fennel, foix gras of truFFle oil, you are out of luck. Every dish has all or some combination of the above Even the bread is polluted. The wine list is extensive, except that every bottle unter $140 seems to be unavailble. Add all this with a mediocre staff, if adds up to a bad evening.
Pros: none
Cons: food, service, prices
