My second visit to Bonterra and no disappointment in terms of food quality and taste. We sat up in the wine room which is a little more private for actually meeting. I would recommend it as the open dining room has a seen and be seen type of feel, and naturally, it gets quite loud.
Ordered the Lamb Soup which was perfect for the chilly day which was executed well with a dollop of pureed beans added to the slightly spicy broth and the tender chunks of lamb. For the main, I ordered a half order of the Risotto alla Barbabietola which was a delicious and well executed interpretation including cubes of beet and crushed pistachio. My dining companion ordered a half of the Spaghetti alla Puttanesca and he was impressed. The wine list is expansive obviously slanting towards Italy however there are great choices from around the world. Pricing around these is typical restaurant.
Overall, the total with a San Pelegrino came to $50 pre tip which isn't a value lunch by any stretch. That said, the environment is cool and food is delicious. Recommended as a splurge or to impress.
