This little bistro/restaurant has all the charm in the world. The decore is early California with a fabulous alfresco garden done in a authentic Provencal style. This place is relaxed and the staff is very friendly and accomodating. You can spend the whole afternoon having lunch and no-one will rush you. This restaurant also features wine tasting flights from the next door winery. Georis winery is a small local producer and the presentation and tastings are nicely presented with tasting notes. One of the fabulous features of the neighboring properties are the fabulous gardens with fountains and little coble stone paths that take you through the different areas with hanging grape arbors. I was first introduced to this little jewel by RACHEL RAY on $40 a day. She was right on target with this place. Pros: ROMANTIC AND CHARMING ambience is fabulous, in a rustic early California setting. You can relax here. bring your family, your dog and be transported to a different time and elegant old world setting more

The food is excellent, but the hostess / waitress was shockingly rude, so much so that by the end of our lunch we were looking at each other in disbelief. The Corkscrew used to be a favorite of ours, until we took out of town visitors, thinking they would enjoy it also. We were very embarrassed and disappointed by the way we were treated there. Never again. Don't waste your time or your money at The Corkscrew. Pros: good food, good quality Cons: the worst treatment we have ever gotten at any restaurant, ever, from start to finish more

Ive never been to a restaurant with such horrible customer service. The waitress was extremely snooty and the manager was very unprofessional. I will never return to the Corkscrew again, there are far better restaurants in the area. Pros: downtown Cons: horrible service, Unprofessional staff more
