Although the flavor profile on the salmon with citrus and saffron was not to my taste it was expertly prepared. All that said we received some of the most neglectful service I have ever had from a very nice server, who for no obvious reason left us alone for most of the meal. It got busier as our time stretched on, but it wasn't slammed and there was plenty of staff. We ordered plenty of food including two bottles of wine. We had to completely finish all of our appetizers before being asked about mains and we sat with empty glasses for ~20 minutes (possibly more) before we flagged someone down to get the second bottle; a bottle we left half drunk because it stretched our evening so long. I might give this place another try but honestly it was one of the most drawn out anticlimactic $400+ birthday celebrations (without desert) I have ever had. We could have done better at home for less.

It's inviting vs the stuffy atmosphere some places have. BABAGANOUSH PITA we got it for the kiddo expecting it to be run of the mill stuff you get. But the babaganoush had the extreme rich flavors of smoked eggplant and felt like almost half an eggplant went in there. Not diluted with tahini, garlic, just pure flavors of eggplant with tanginess of sumac. LITTLE GEM SALAD WITH RAINBOW TROUT was hearty, leafy and very refreshing. The pickled celery was the surprise. HAMACHI CRUDO - beautifully assembled with thoughtfulness, light, refreshing. A bunch of flavor bombs in there so each bite is an adventure. Basil making it refreshing, earthy crunch from hazelnut, sharpness from green onion, sweet tart kiwis. I think a bit of citrus would make this a superstar. Mandolin shaved limes perhaps? GRILLED MAITAKE MUSHROOMS - ok I think this was the chefs most technically impressive dish, with an exercise in playing with bitter profiles and turning it into a master piece. Grilled maitake gets the char from the grill is the first flavor layer, it's woken up by the wild thyme from the zatar. Next the Japanese turnips bring the second dimension with earthy beautiful bitter notes on a bed of a creamy tahini based sauce. It's finished with fresh parsley to bring a fresh element to it. Great stuff. Could raddichio be added to make this more challenging? I saw those crunchy POTATOES and I got them even after eating the meal lol. Do yourself a favor and just get them - they're hot, crunchy and perfect to pair with the vegetables. Finally we got their chocolate mousse with bruleéd bananas sorry couldn't take a picture before it was all gone. Great way to wrap. The staff were all super friendly and helped with picking things from the menu! I got the mystery glass of wine and they had made a fun game out of it. The Beaujolais was great too. Overall when you're surrounded by these amazing farms, vineyards and ocean - no better way than to bring them together - kudos to the creators of the Redwood for making this place with intentionality. I wanted to get the squash, duck pâté, spring pea salad, tinned fish items as well, I guess for next time!

Late to the game on this one…read more I've been hearing about lunchbox for a long time, but I'm usually not in Sebatopol during lunch hours so it's been challenging for me to get there, but as luck would have it, I was able to visit recently. I've been hearing about their awesome smash burgers and figured I'd give one a try. I got the Kansas City fried onion smash burger with fries to do the whole meal deal. I have to say this was one of the best hamburgers I've ever had in my life. No joke! The patties were seared perfectly. The bun was toasted beautifully, and the meat was seasoned very well. The overall sandwich came together in a spectacular. Possibly one of the best hamburgers I've ever had. The restaurant itself is pretty minimal, but offered comfortable seating. Bonus points for playing chill music in the background at a reasonable volume. Atmosphere was casual. A couple seats out front too of you prefer a little more action. Looks like the do some beer options, though it liked like they may have had a couple taps out. I chose sparkling water from the adornment on the fridge by the register. hats off to the team at Lunch Box. I'll definitely be going back to try more of the items off their menu. Thanks!

Best chicken sandwich I've ever had! And I told the staff!…read more My mom and I visited this Café and Market over the Memorial Day weekend for the first time. I'd driven past it numerous times on the way to Bodega Bay, but never stopped in. Parking was a bit challenging as there were lots of cars.. If parking was available, you needed to be careful as to not block the car next to you, or to the side of you. Aside from parking, the staff was warm, inviting, and an absolute pleasure. The restaurant appears to have once been an old home. It has comfortable outdoor and indoor seating as well. My mom and I shared the Kale Cesar Salad and Chicken Sandwich. The salad was perfect and the toasted almond on top were a perfect nutty touch. The sandwich was just perfect. The chicken was a perfectly cooked chicken breast. Juicy, not dry, and perfectly seasoned. The baked cheddar chip on the bottom was a pleasant surprise and the homemade focaccia was sinful. You need to try this place. It will change your life just like the people that are in it.

On the wall was a chalkboard with the list of local farmers and vendors that they used to supply their restaurant. I loved how fresh and flavorful all the food was, but I loved their collaboration with small local business owners to provide them with things like eggs and dairy. I had an omelette with spinach, caramelized, tomatoes, chicken sausage, and goat cheese. This was one of the most delicious bites I've had at a breakfast spot in a long time. We also shared an order of beignets that came with some fresh apple butter, which was to die for! It felt like taking a bit off fall weather if that makes sense. My boyfriend had some biscuits and country gravy with a side of sausage and fried eggs. He loved everything that he ate as well. He also had a bloody Mary, which was made with Soju. The flavor and quality was top notch and you hardly missed the vodka from the drink. Our server was very friendly, and he offered some insight into the quality of the Soju and the vendors that they work with. I just really loved the care that this restaurant put into not only service but the food that they're producing.

Firstly, thank you to Americana for seating us. We came in just before 3 pm, and we didn't realize…read morethat they were about to close. We ordered huevos rancheros with orange juice, and a caprese sandwich with a side of soup. The eggs were tasty, but it wasn't very hearty. I was hungry again within an hour. Lots of colorful sauce arranged around the dish, most of it wasted. The sandwich had the aoli, even though The Wife asked for it without. The sandwich was hearty, but kind of a mess. Assembled like someone wanted to leave. The space is attractive, with interesting local art on the walls, but frankly the prices ($20 for the eggs, $27 for the sandwich, $7 for a small juice) were out of line.

Started off funky with the U-Be Trippin which was an interesting mix, not sure the sesame seeds won me over, but a clever drink. My wife got the Creamsicle which she liked. I then went old school with a Manhattan. Didn't live the orange peal, it sort of overpowered the drink and just seemed out of place. Got some fries just to sit with, they were great. 2 friends joined for dinner and we just got a ton of small plates. Pickles, Falafel, Numb Nums, Lamb meatballs, Kimchijeon were all great. Standouts for me because they were unique were the Numb Nums (which yes, numbed your tongue, weird) and the Kimchijeon (kimchi pancake).

My MIL, who's from Maine and knows a thing or two about great seafood, said it was the best tuna sandwich she's ever had! My daughter's side of fries with truffle and Parmesan?! Perfection. It felt like a family-run restaurant, and everyone we encountered was welcoming, friendly, and happy to help. If I lived nearby, this would absolutely become one of my regular spots. I'll definitely be back anytime I'm in this neck of the woods. Highly recommend!
