Fodor's Expert Review The Wolf in the Fog

Chef Nick Nutting and his crew present a unique west-coast dining experience here that puts an inspired twist on freshly caught seafood and foraged local ingredients; think seaweed combed from the shore and wild forest mushrooms. The big platters of charred octopus and steamed mussels beg to be shared. As do the famed potato-crusted oysters. Start with one of the signature cocktails, like the legendary Cedar Sour, and after dinner try Hailey's Cream, with its fig-infused rye and condensed milk. The cedar-walled dining room is light, warm, and welcoming.
