    BEET salad | goat cheese | mint | hazelnuts | citrus vinaigrette
    Carlton C.

    The service from the maître d' (Kelly) was exceptional! Watching her juggle multiple tasks while managing hords of guests both outside and inside of the restaurant was nothing short of incredible. Her customer service, warmth, and enthusiasm flowed throughout the evening and was a large contributor to our positive experience. We ordered the Beet Salad, Mac n Cheese, Bistro Steak, Black Cod, and for dessert had the Bread Pudding. Pretty much everything was absolutely delicious. The Mac n Cheese deserves a special mention as it was perfectly creamy and flavorful. The one thing I could not get over was the amount of broth in the cod dish. It was simply too much and overtook the dish. The cod itself however was buttery and cooked to perfection. All in all, boone eat + drink was a great experience and I would definitely return and recommend.

    The flat iron steak here is so so good. My wife and I got distinct entrees but we both LOVED this entree. It was medium rare and so flavorful. It is also a large portion. It was absolutely delicious. I would go back just for this dish.

    Ate here our first night in the area and loved it. The chicken bowl was amazing, easily the highlight of the meal. Service was great too, friendly and attentive even with how busy it was. It does get crowded, so we ended up with the outside street seating. Be prepared to wait, or make a reservation if you're hoping for better seating options.

    Mac n Cheese

    Don't miss this place! It's a small restaurant packed between downtown Guerneville. We definitely passed it trying to find it but glad we did! We just did a walk in on a Saturday evening and got lucky a spot opened up on their front area just in time of us arriving. The seating was a bit tight on the high tops facing the wall but we made it work. We started off with a glass of wine and their grilled chicory salad which was a great starter. We then split the mac n cheese and braised pork. Everything came out well paced and freshly prepared. We loved the polenta and textures on the braised pork dish. Service was prompt and attentive even though they were very busy! Highly recommend for a nice fresh farm to table dinner experience in the area. Would definitely return.

    Black cod

    Hubby and I came to Guerneville originally to try saucy mamas but when we got there, there was a sign saying closed for private event. So we walked around and ended up at Boon eat+ drink. We were greeted by the hostess and were told to sit wherever. It's a small little restaurant and got pretty crowded when other patrons came. We sat down and had a male server who didn't seem so overly happy for us to be there. Idk, we just got a weird vibe. When another patron sat next to us at a very nearby table, our server sure did communicate with them lots. Anyway, might be because of our color? So we also didn't know that it was women's weekend going on and it was pretty busy. We were told about a soup special they had and it was delicious! I had the steak and hubby got the cod which were both excellent choice. The food was really good and prob will come back just for the food but as far as service goes, we didn't feel welcomed. I would have given them 5 stars if it weren't for that.

    Steak and fingerling potatoes
    Dana A.

    The reviews brought us in but not sure we will be back. Cute restaurant, few choices and a hefty price tag for the serving size. The guys were still hungry after their steak and fingerling potatoes. I had the Korean chicken and my sister had the stewed pork. We both needed a bit more flavor. The bread pudding stole the show.

    Truffle Fries

    boon eat + drink is a 5 star restaurant. Located in downtown Guerneville this restaurant is a must go to if you're in the area. The portions are big so they are great for sharing. We ordered the beet salad and truffle fries to start. The salad was fresh and full of flavor and the fries were crisped to perfection. The braised pork shoulder was moist and fell apart when you pick it up. It was served on polenta and brought it all together. Overall, it was hearty and flavorful dish. The simple look of the restaurant combined with great service makes this a perfect spot for dinner!

    Our final stop of the night, and Boon did not disappoint. If you're looking for a nicer establishment for dinner with friends, family or your loved one - this is the spot. We were already a couple of wines and drinks deep from earlier in the night (or some would say, early evening) so I don't quite recall the names of the dishes we had, but they were all delicious. Service was quick, server made great recommendations, and the vibe was nice :) would highly recommend for a romantic night out in Gville :)

    Miso black cod!  It was fantastic!!
    Daniel A.

    The food is still fantastic! Service was on point! I had the steak Fritz and it was delicious and cooker perfectly. My friend had the miso black cod. And wow! That dish is fantastic! Absolutely perfect! We were seated in the outdoor seating cove. It was a cold night but they had the heaters cranked up, so we weren't cold at all. Also they offered us a blanket which was a super cute touch. Still the best restaurant in guernville.

    Hard apple cider. So delicious.
    Sara H.

    Highly recommend stopping here on your next trip to Guerneville! We came early on a Friday around 5:30 and grabbed a cozy patio seat. Blankets were provided, which was such a nice touch. The service was fantastic and very accommodating, and the chef made our kid a custom mac, Parm and butter. The Brussels sprouts and beet salad were incredible, and as a vegetarian, I loved the veggie polenta, fresh, flavorful, and comforting. The local hard cider was also outstanding, one of the best I've had. By 7pm there was a crowd forming, so come early since they don't take reservations. Great food, warm vibes, and excellent service. We'll definitely come back!

    Our experience was so good that we returned three nights later! We had the flash fried Brussels sprouts, which were just ok (should have been halved as the centers were tough), the Miso Black Cod, which was terrific: perfectly cooked and served in a rich coconut based sauce over forbidden rice, and the Niman Ranch Bistro Steak, which was stupendous. When you have beef of that quality, the kitchen did the best thing anyone should do: nothing more than you have to. The accompanying chimichurri was a great version of this now classic sauce. As before, service was attentive and responsive. Will return AGAIN!

    A fantastic dinner option in Guerneville. Main Street has only a few dining options, so I recommend coming early to avoid the long wait. We came around 5:45PM on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes. Boon offers delicious Californian cuisine with seasonal menu changes in an intimate and cozy atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed every dish that night. As a mushroom lover, the boon mac-n-cheese was heavenly. Each bite was rich in umami and truffle flavor. However, one can honestly not go wrong with any of the dishes. If I am ever back in town, Boon will be a place that I'll return to time and time again.

    Steak and Burger
    Lexi G.

    My husband and I stopped by for dinner over the weekend and we had a pleasant experience. We waited a few minutes for a table and the line never slowed down during our time. People were constantly lining up waiting for a table, and it is worth the wait! We started off with the grilled asparagus and it was delicious, it had a poached egg and was plated over a salad that had an amazing vinaigrette. My husband got the burger, medium rare and he enjoyed it. The fries that came with the burger were thin and perfectly cooked, not to soft not too crunchy. I ordered the Steak medium rare and it was amazing! Juicy, tender and it came with an amazing side of chimichurri. The ambiance was very lively, it is located downtown so you get a little bit of everything from tourist to locals.

    Insane meal at Sonoma Pizza Co…read more This is the type of spot all pizza places wish they could be. Unreal food, premium, hip atmosphere, and fantastic service. Pricing definitely on the high end for pizza, but completely worth it. Seated on the insanely gorgeous patio at SPC, we enjoyed one of the best pizza lunches I have ever had. Starting with the Patatas Sonoma. Crispy, creamy on the inside, and paired with a perfect dipping sauce. The corn ribs and shishito peppers were up next. Again, an insane dipping sauce with super tender ribs and nicely charred shishitos. We then enjoyed two pizzas, one plain cheese and the other being the summer special, the Peachy Piggy. Both were great, but the Peachy Piggy with the balsamic glaze over the fresh peaches and crispy pork belly was actually phenomenal. Forestville seems like a sleepy town at first glance, but SPC is a culinary delight disguised as an Instagram-worthy photo shoot spot. Don't let Forestville fool you; you can eat like a king for every meal. Don't forget to stop at Sonoma Pizza Co.

Picture this -- covered seating, oversized hanging lamps doing their best "moody Pinterest board" impression, heaters humming away so you can pretend it's not 50 degrees out. It's the kind of space that makes you want to cancel your other plans and just live there with your friends. The pizza is solid, no notes needed. The salads, though? Borderline showing off. And the dessert and drink menu -- full beer, wine, and cocktail lineup -- means there's truly no reason to ever leave. Gluten-free folks, rejoice: their GF crust is so good it should probably be illegal, since it's somehow indistinguishable from the regular stuff. Plus my buddy Kyle from Camp Meeker says it is the "best he's ever had". No sad cardboard substitute here. Service is fast and friendly, which honestly almost feels like a bonus at this point given how busy you'll be admiring the lighting. Basically, I'd marry someone here. Or throw an office party here. Possibly both, same night, no judgment. This place is too hip for its own zip code.

After receiving my salad and beverage though, service all but disappeared. After 25-ish minutes and finally realizing I hadn't seen my server in a while, I managed to flag down another member of the staff (not my server) who kindly offered to check for me, and who returned with the disappointing news that no such item had ever been ordered. Spoiler alert: it had definitely been ordered :( Had anyone at all checked in on me after the salad arrived, I would have inquired about the main I was waiting for and we would have figured this all out relatively quickly - and I probably would have left a more satisfied customer. (I should also note that the salad and the drink were both good, so I was looking forward to the rest.) Instead, I just asked for the check - and I left still hungry and rather disappointed. To add to the weirdness, the server gave me someone else's check at first, with many more items ordered than my drink and salad. I mention it to help characterize the unfortunate misfire vibe. Respect to the servers, I know they're working hard and there are a ton of things that contribute to situations like this - maybe an off night, maybe a gap in training, maybe unexpectedly slammed... maybe something else entirely - but regardless, Yelp is for reviewing one's experience with a business. My experience at Willi's was a bummer, and I am not sure I'll bother going back.
