Chef/owner Steven Giles knows his way around the kitchen, we discovered, as we sampled a luxurious tarragon-spiked squash amuse bouche topped with a float of truffle oil. Beautiful breads--including one spiked with both sage and onion--kept company our excellent Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc '99 (which I highly recommend for those weary of oak). The room, with its mezzaluna chandeliers, adobe cove ceilings and exceptional service, was perfectly lit and loaded with low-key glamour.
