"Scott Beattie of Healdsburgs Cyrus restaurant turns cocktail creation into an extreme sport." —Linda Murphy, San Francisco Chronicle "The most extreme practitioner of this cocktailian focus on fresh and local ingredients is Cyruss Scott Beattie. The drinks Beattie makes with this bounty are uniformly gorgeous. And Beatties virgin versions of several drinks are so good that you barely miss the booze." —Gourmet "This jewel box of a restaurant features an outstanding bar that showcases an innovative seasonal cocktail list overseen by mixologist Scott Beattie—his Manhattan made with vanilla-infused bourbon is a perfect counterpoint to a day of wine tasting." —Bon Appétit
