I had the portobello sandwich on rye with pesto. It was $9.95 and came with a side of fries. It was pretty good. Crab cakes were not bad and I liked how it came with papaya salad. Lettuce wraps were...

If this place was recently remodeled, the owners should demand their money back from whoever did the design. Both inside and out, it looks as if someone beat the place with an ugly stick. From the...

Our waiter said "Fo Sho" to me when I gave him my order. It was hilarious. He was really nice and friendly the whole night.Food was delish.

The Sheepherder Inn's long refurbishment is worth the wait. The remodeled building has all of the charm of the old building, but with a new, rustic-but-elegant feel. Our group had very mixed reactions to...

The food was outstanding. The service was pretty good. Short wait for dinner. VERY good with our son. Drinks are over priced for the size but are still good. Looking forward to going back very soon.
