fresh water and small dog treats. Casanova and da Giovanni are two other very good doggie-friendly restaurants. Cypress Inn has an afternoon tea that you can reserve ahead for. This is a very pet-friendly inn (owned by Doris Day),...

and raspberry vinaigrette dressing, over mixed exotic greens. There was the slightest hint of tarragon, and a whisper of something from the mint fammily, that I found intoxicating. I loved this salad! I ordered the Bluegrass Filet...

Visited last night. They did a nice job with the space: high-ish ceilings lent an open, airy, and clean feel to the room. Service was still getting its choreography down — wine and water glasses suffered from chronic...
