technique that makes the octopus tender and less chewy. With that in mind, try the Wood Grilled Octopus ($12) as an appetizer. The Short Rib Raviolo ($12, filled pasta with sage brown butter & Parmigiano) and the Orecchiette ($24, house made little ears, Sassi sausage, Calabrese chilies, rapini, Pecorino) are solid first-course options to preceed the options such as Lamb due Sapori ($32, wood grilled chop, lamb osso bucco, braised greens, porcini puree), Beef Short Rib $26, braised in red wine and porcini mushrooms, citrus herb gremolata), and Wood Grilled Yellowfin Tuna ($35, pickled mushrooms, cippoline agro dolce). Wine is the way to go here – get your fill of tequila at the Donkey. http://www.sassi.biz

The Boulders Service and Spa
There is a service fee attached to your room rate, so there’s no need to tip while on property. That said, you’ll probably still feel like you want to – the staff is that good. They are professionally personable, very attendant to your needs but also very down to earth and friendly at the same time. They make life pretty easy, transporting you to and from your room (and anywhere on the property) via golf cart and delivering firewood to your room at your request. 

For those who want to kick back after a golf or rock climbing outing (or skip those altogether) can rely on the full-service Golden Door Spa. We recommend the signature Golden Door massage that uses long, moderate pressure strokes to evoke serenity. A full list of services can be found here.
