Both the chicken piccata and Marsala tasted wonderful, especially with the frozen Bianca! Cat canyon is always a treat! Although, the wasp and bees were a bit annoying; however, that’s a bit difficult to control unless you treat every piece of wood…again difficult since the place is made out of wood!!

Another fun evening spent at Flying Otter Winery. We were able to reserve a table for our group of friends. Shared a few bottles of wine and a couple meat & cheese trays. Listened and sang along to Cat Canyon, what a perfect Friday night!! Flying Otter never disappoints us.

Spending time at the Flying Otter on a Friday evening with entertainment from Cat Canyon is the nicest way to spend some time away from day-to-day responsibilities. The staff is great, the food and wine is very tasty and the view of the vineyard is so very beautiful. Thank-you to the owners and staff for making it a very enjoyable time when I am able to spend some time at the Flying Otter.

The only reason I knocked a point off ambiance was the chill of the evening, which was beyond your control. I have no complaints, regarding my overall experiences with your establishment.
p.s. On a side note, I was glad Linda also remembered the Hamms jingle and once I could visualize the [animated] bear from the ad; it looked like a slightly inebriated but equally amiable cousin of the ursine that landed the Coca Cola gig.
Hope you have a pleasant and productive off season and I look forward to seeing you next year.
