    Odyssey *(14.5) !(2.0) $(32-60) 707-836-7600 .  426 Emily Rose Circle (off the west end of McClelland Drive)  Dinner 5:30-10:00 P.M. Tues.-Thurs., till 11:00 Fri.-Sat .
    Close quarters is putting it mildly when  eating at this  simple but attractive local truck stop for dinner.  Make sure they don’t seat you on a chair with the bar behind you; even a sardine would have difficulty  getting  through.  Pleasant starters included roasted beet tartare with pine nut crusted goat cheese and a slightly underdone duck terrine with a pear-raspberry salsa. Then we split a crispy but yeast flavored ultra thin crusted margherita pizza with tomato, fresh basil and mozzarella. Fresh fish and vegetables were marred by overly saucing and spicing of the pan-seared local petrale sole with rainbow chard, roasted sun chokes and black truffle vinaigrette. We would have loved Daniel’s black truffle burger with braised short ribs and foie gras enclosed with beef sirloin, had it not been spoiled by  too much mustard saucing, requiring a fresh dry roll.  We skipped the interesting sounding Italian farmstead cheeses and went directly to an underdone, uninspiring apple tart. There is an appropriate wine selection; corkage is $20.00 if you bring your own.  It was a busy night, but the service was pleasant and efficient.
