Situated in the lobby of the Fairmont Sonoma Inn, we enjoyed wonderful drinks and food from the Michelin rated Asante restaurant next door. We had the "Grown-up" Mac-N-Cheese (lobster and truffle), Tune tartare , hot wings and a good-sized (about 5" diameter) chocolate souffle. We thought we would save alittle with dinner at Auberge the night before and then lunch at French Laundry tomorrow, but we were wrong. Six cocktails and the three plates we shared came to $197 with a nice tip for Doris. Nice and casual, excellent appetizers from Sante! Very recommended! read more
