 Vaulted ceilings and tall, arched windows lend the dining room a churchlike elegance---breaking bread here always feels welcoming and bright. A fireplace warms winter patrons, while a retractable glass patio expands the space considerably, allowing summertime guests to experience first hand the property’s surrounding vineyards. The menu features mostly farm-to-table Sonoma County ingredients, including herbs and produce from the restaurant's own garden. Start with Hog Island oysters, or Dungeness crab cake and Meyer lemon crème fraîche paired with roasted beet and apple salad, or rich ragù of duck and wild mushrooms over tagliatelle. Settle in for serious meat: pedigreed chops, steaks and shanks with default sides such as onion rings, shoestring potatoes, grilled polenta and mushroom medleys. In the “other” category, find olive oil-poached ahi or house-made pumpkin and amaretto ravioli with white truffle butter. Trust the wine steward to marry your dishes with varietals from an extensive list. Knowledgeable and amicable waitstaff work the room. A woody, masculine lounge in front of the restaurant allows for casual bites and sophisticated cocktails by the bar. |
