Beste fine dining-restaurants in Occidental

It was fabulous! We had not been to Walter Hanzel Wine & Bistro for awhile, probably during COVID when they had an outside tent back then. The name can be a bit deceiving as its a legit restaurant with bar, not a wine bar that happens to serve food. They do however carry a nice selection of wines including their own wine. We enjoyed it back then, and enjoyed it even more recently. The food was delicious, our server was very nice and attentive. I would say the atmosphere is casual fine dining, where they strike a nice balance between fancy & comfortable. We could hold a conversation over dinner without shouting or straining to hear one another. We'll be back there much sooner than last time! Blaise Lo

Food delicious. Service excellent. Great cocktails. Nice ambience. Met our expectations.

First time there, my fiend and myself both enjoyed our meals very much, both taste and presentation. Our server was very, attentive and personable. Would definitely return and highly recommend

We had an outstanding server named Meghan, who made our entire dining experience very memorable. She was warm, friendly and had a great sense of humor. The food and ambiance was wonderful, but Meghan took things to a whole new level. We will definitely be coming back and hope Meghan will be there to greet us.

The miso soup was excellent. Ordered the seaweed salad and it was unlike any I’ve ever had and was delicious. My friends chicken dish was also very yummy. Sushi was good, too.
