Stopped here Thursday afternoon for a late lunch after visiting Armstrong Redwoods State Park…read more It's pretty much self service; We ordered: Apple & Brie Panini (sweet and savory) and Ham & Swiss Panini (delicious).

First, the good: the back patio overlooks the river (the reason we picked this spot) and is lovely…read more My kids said their tri-tip sandwiches were really good. Two stars. Now, the bad: mandatory 20% tip on orders above $80, non-negotiable. At a deli where the prices are not listed and there is no table service, this is an absolute insult to the customer. Second, the kid who made my sandwich didn't wear gloves, which is a violation of health code rules. I'm not a germaphobe but once got a nasty intestinal bug from a restaurant where the food handlers didn't wear gloves, and I will never do it again. There's a reason gloves, or some other type of barrier between hand and food, are required. If you spend less than $80, keep an eye on the staff making your food or only get drinks, and you sit outside, this is a pretty stop through town. But based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this place, and will not return.

We love Boon! We have been going to boon for years and it holds such a special place in our hearts…read more It's often a place where we gather for date nights, anniversary dinners and special occasions!! We cannot recommend Boon enough for anyone who may be traveling in or even locals who are looking for a locally owned restaurant. Their menu changes often and it is always a joy to see what new dishes they have each time we dine in. Their staff is incredible and the servers are great at making suggestions. The best of the best!!

As someone who has been coming here very frequently for 10+ years and called this my favorite…read morerestaurant, I have to say i'm super bummed by the changes with the chef and menu. Not only were staple long-term vegetarian dishes removed from the menu (polenta lasagna), those that remained were absolutely butchered. The vegan bowl used to be fresh produce from the garden with an incredible sauce that had depth, now it is a tasteless $28 vermicelli bowl that a child could throw together in under 5 min.. Extremely over-fried tofu, no sesame ginger sauce to be found and just a dollop of chili oil on 1/10th of the noodles. The cauliflower appetizer was completely bland and it was very unclear whether it was supposed to be raw or cooked.. We come here (often bringing friends with us excited to share the spot), because it's always been consistently amazing and a good balance of meat and veg options, but it doesn't feel like the new chef is concerned with pleasing the veg customers (though even the presentation on the meat/fish dishes we saw looked messy and unappetizing compared to the past). We gave feedback (out of care/concern, not as "karens") to those who know us there and are hopeful that they'll be heard. We're going to give boon another chance in a few weeks, but i'm not feeling too hopeful after being told we aren't the only regulars feeling the effects of the kitchen changes.

And a cookie for $3 Things are ridiculous these days but this is uncalled for. Good food, good service, but not worth the price. I'm not going back.

Please reconsider going here if you are a large group, even if you think you have built in an ample…read moretime buffer. I wish that I could leave a better review, truly. Our experience unfortunately left much to be desired, & I expressed the below as feedback to a server, as when I asked to speak to the manager or owner, I was told she was busy. I was also told that maybe "she didn't realize" about other restaurant events that day when our reservation was taken. As an establishment, please think twice (and maybe even don't take?) large group reservations if you know your kitchen can't handle them on a busy day. No one would fault you for that. Especially since we were contacted to move our original earlier reservation to a later one due to 'two other big groups' at that original time. However, when we did come in at the requested later time, a curt 'just so you know, it'll be a while' statement by our server at the way beginning of the eventual meal was followed up by *zero* eye contact , communication or updates. We had to finally go ask about the ETA *an hour and a half after ordering*, due to extreme hunger, flight times & medication timings in our group. The food was ok, nothing memorable & nothing wrong with it- just that some members didn't receive items how they ordered them. Though we received some very good scones & an apology from the server whom we gave this feedback to (that was nice of her) & I understand from other commentary it's a popular spot, our group would not return.

We've been eating here since opening (and at Matrix before that...), so, we have a history here-but, Emily made it very special. Thank you Canneti and Emily!

Friendly, welcoming staff in a rustic setting. Had been misled by someone's review photos to think…read morethere was a view of the river from the outside seating area. There isn't. We ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, onion rings, and an order of fish and chips, alongside two flavored lemonades. Chicken was unremarkable--unseasoned, not marinated; unfortunately a bland and slightly tough piece of chicken. Came on a nice brioche bun with the caramelized onions being the best part of the dish (and meal). Our fish and onion rings were overly greasy. The fries were tasty and seemed fresh but unsalted and wilted beneath the fish and could have been crispier. My partner thought the sweet flavored lemonades were from a mix and there was no pulp. No pics. Seems the de rigueur order here is chicken wings, which we don't order. Would be a great place to hang with friends for drinks and conviviality; very casual vibe. But foodwise, our experience was very middle-of-the-road.

Nightingale Breads have been on my to try list for a bit. Not sure when I bookmarked this place,…read morebut it was a convenient stop on the drive home! It's a very small shop with a big counter space for ordering and displaying their pastries and bread. It looks like their work area may be behind the counter so to prevent inside crowding, a limited amount of people go in at a time. On Sundays, they have scones! So I ordered a Strawberry Pistachio scone to try and we picked up two Small Chocolate Thimbles to try. For take-home bread, we bought the Forestville French Baguette, Sesame Epi Baguette, and a Country Bird. We also picked up a tea cake to enjoy at home. I can only review the scone and Thimbles since at the time of this review, this is what I've tried. The Strawberry Pistachio scone was not too sweet, which is great. I like how the pistachio bits add flavor to it, kinda wish they added more pistachio. I'm not sure I personally like the strawberries since they're kinda mushy, but my partner really liked the addition of strawberries because it's like adding cream to a biscuit and this scone was more like a biscuit than a scone (in our opinion). It's buttery, airy, and light, but it's pretty good! I think the Thimbles were better though. I can only describe it as a fudgy brownie with a thin crusty outer layer. What a decadent little treat! I can see why this is a local favorite! Their pastries are delicious. I can't wait to see how the bread tastes like and I'm glad we stopped by to pick up some goodies! Service was really friendly and they even have free stickers up in the front!

Adorable little bakery located in the tiny town of Forestville, CA!…read more We visited Nightingale Breads on a Saturday, which meant we were in luck, as its rotating specials were calling our name. The line was out the door and took a while to get in, but once we made it inside the small space, we were greeted kindly by the staff and treated to great-looking bread and pastries. We picked up a baugette, a seeded loaf, a pluot tea cake, and some chocolate thimbles. The chocolate thimbles are truly amazing, and I would come back to get a thousand of those. They are like the best brownie you've ever had in a little bite-sized delight. The bread was also good- on par with many other small local bakeries I have visited. The pluot cake was very nicely done with great texture and fresh pluot topping. It would have gone great with some vanilla ice cream. I'd imagine Nightingale Breads is the type of place where everything is delicious. I don't think you'll miss here.

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.

I will say our breakfast was a bit pricey as our total came to $55 with tip.
