Willow Wood Market Cafe Restaurant Review:
The tiny hamlet of Graton (just west of Santa Rosa) barely registers as a blip on most travelers' radar screens, but savvy diners find their way to Willow Wood Market Café for down-home, savory cuisine. The menu features three-course weeknight suppers, which include a different entrée each night, such as pulled pork with the signature creamy polenta or red Thai-curry prawns on jasmine rice. Willow Wood is an especially good place for wake-up fare, with an extensive breakfast and lunch menu. Locals line up for Sunday brunch eager to order the hearty Market Plate: creamy polenta, sautéed spinach and coppa, roasted tomatoes and a hard-boiled egg. Environs-wise, hardwood floors, simple bistro tables and a tight bar feel nostalgic and country-like. An intimate backyard patio is a pleasantly shaded dining option, and furry BFFs are welcome. The wine list reveals the spot's underlying sophistication.
