Restaurants near Jughandle State Reserve

Instead of buying each other Christmas gifts, my husband and I treated ourselves to a wonderful dining experience at Auro. We were familiar with the chef through his new cookbook and his Michelin star awards so we gave it a try. It was fabulous. The service and and attention to detail was outstanding. The food was unique, creative, and delicious. There were many additional bites that were not on the menu, so the basic tasting menu was enough food. We upgraded to the more expensive wine pairing.

Every item of food was thoughtfully prepared, right down to the tasty crackers and the whole wheaty sourdough bread. The clam chowder was the best we've had. Our server was so helpful and competent that we felt like she was manager material, yet she was never intrusive.

Dinner here is a ceremony, a rite, as you are gently escorted through tastes and foods that might be new to even an experienced palate. A lovely meal curated by wonderful staff.

Dining at the Lodge is always a special treat for us. As we are Sea Ranchers it feels like home when we dine. Thank you for a lovely Christmas Eve dinner!

Gluten free, bountiful, great meal. We enjoyed a Xmas Eve lunch with a celiac family member. We loved the GF menu. Started with salad and potato and Brussels sprouts and then scallops and flank steak and dessert. A wonderful small-plate experience with incredible service and incredible flavors. We loooved this restaurant.
