This place is a gem. The scene is beautiful. The food is excellent. The service is thoughtful and swift. Nothing for me to fault here. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Apart from its magical location hidden among the trees of Topanga Canyon sadly, the prices here are unrealistically high for the poor quality of food and, ultimately not worth the money. We had a brunch birthday for a friend here and because we were a group of eight were obligated to purchase the buffet breakfast for nearly $50 a person, which inexplicably did not come with coffee or tea, which was extra. The buffet, while ample was both cold when needing to be hot and pretty flavorless overall. Our waiter was adequate and friendly, but the food was simply subpar and definitely not worth the money. Unless they up their brunch game, I would say avoid eating here or maybe take a chance at dinner.

We had an early Friday eve reservation (5:30pm) for my husband's birthday, and one guest just off a plane. As the evening progressed, the utter chaos of the staff and service became a laughable nightmare! The people around us who were seated after us had it even worse! At the end of the meal, we simply could not find anyone to present and prepare our bill, for 20 or more minutes! The food was very expensive! And, the extra-fancy plating of dishes with unrecognizable ingredients, not necessary. Our guest's short ribs were dried out and stringy, when they should have been fork-tender. Sorry, Inn, but we will not be back, despite your iconic setting. Your competition does much better.

Great and beautiful place to eat In Topanga canyon. all organic food brunch or dinner.. The waitress Alyssa was awesome l.. Thank you.. me and wife really enjoyed it there.
