Before you even order, you are brought a hot bowl of delicious miso soup.    Friday we both chose the dinner Bento Box Combination which gives you salad...
Stone Creek Village is a little shopping center of sorts.   More of a food and gas stop, but definitely handy while you are staying at Laguna Seca RV Park.     The space is tight, even at the gas station, so it may not be the best place to fill up when you' ve got your really big rig or 5th wheel.
