Next door to Barnard Griffin Winery, Bookwalter produces red wines aged in French oak barrels and whites that are 100% stainless-steel fermented. The classic Merlot is celebrated.

The on-site restaurant, Fiction, features small plates like prosciutto flatbread with pears, six types of salad, and heartier fare such as steaks, burgers, and salmon.

A "Turkish delight" say fans of the "flavorful", "exquisitely prepared" plates at this "value" Roscoe Villager with casual, white-tablecloth environs and a "low noise level" fit for "big groups" and "first dates" alike; there's also "pleasant sidewalk seating", so though service can be "slow" when it's "packed", it remains a "favorite local spot."

White tablecloths and exposed brick greet you at this friendly-and-festive Turkish restaurant.

This place is a neighborhood gem. The menu is mostly Mediterranean. I love their short rib entrée and their gnocchi with oxtail ragu melts in your mouth.

The food was delicious, if you like waiting 1 1/2 hours for it. Despite the amazing bread, due to the horrible service, I will not be returning.
