So what is going to replace Coq au Vin restaurant? Rumors are it will be a fine dining establishment run by the folks who are behind The Bewildered Pig in St. Helena who currently operate a business next door to the restaurant location at the Floodgate and who modestly describe themselves as “purveyors of gastronomic pleasantries.” Surely we shall be the judge of that.
WHEN JIM ROBERTS of the Madrones (Philo) stopped in the other day to drop off a legal ad, I resisted an impulse to jump to my feet to applaud him. Not only has he created a kind of gastro-paradise at Indian Creek, Roberts has cleaned up Doc Marsh's redwood grove next door, restoring the grove to the park-like beauty and tranquility the Marsh family established and maintained for many years. Roberts has also restored what I had always assumed was an unrelated cabin or mill shack up on the hill next to the mill. He said he has plans for a trail and maybe even a tree house in the grove. Due west, Dr. Marsh once maintained an idyllic swimming hole on Indian Creek he had to give up when drunks and druggers began to dominate the site, bringing the inevitable broken beer bottles, bad language, moron music, and generally bad behavior that mopes characterize as "partying." Roberts has done a majorly good thing for the Anderson Valley with his remarkable transformation of the property.
