Guests looking for fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere will find it at Stomp, located within the Mount View Hotel and Spa. Windows at the front offer diners a glimpse of the sidewalk action, and the décor features avocado- and camel-colored walls, twig-wrapped lamp shades, a long banquette, and woven rattan chairs. A long marble-topped bar is located at the rear of the dining room, with seating for eight, and three wood-burning ovens are set behind it (a more casual bar, with dining from the restaurant menu, is across the hall from the main dining room). The seasonal cuisine is described as "wine country with a European flair," and the wine list is primarily Napa Valley but includes other bottles as well. A prix fixe menu is available Tuesday through Thursday evenings, with no corkage charge for those desiring to bring their own wine.
