Quails Gate: Old Vines

This restaurant is located at the Quail's Gate winery. Even in the dark this place is beautiful. I especially wanted to come here because the chefs that cook here are not just your typical chefs, but they specialize in cooking with wine.
My first thought was that this reminds me of the Van Dusen Gardens in Vancouver.
The restaurant was very empty since we came on a Tuesday night at 9 pm and the drive out here is a pretty long and dark.
The complimentary bread was fresh and crunchy.
Pan Seared Scallops $16. These were cooked perfectly with a very deeply seasoned sauce which was calmed with the citrus from the fennel leaves.
Side of sauteed beets $7.50.
Braised Wild Boar Gargenelli $25. I loved this one. Perfect seasoning, braised perfectly, with lots of mushrooms. The portion was also huge.
Ling Cod $26. This was not on the menu and was a special for the week. It came out so beautifully plated. The cod was a little dry but that puree made up for it.
