Café Champagne Review
The spacious patio, with its bubbling fountain, flowering trellises, and views of Thornton Winery's vineyards, is the perfect place to lunch on a sunny day. Inside, the dining room is decked out in French country style, and the open kitchen turns out such dishes as braised boneless beef short ribs and bouillabaisse. The reasonably priced wines served here include the signature Thornton sparklers.
