Restaurants near Straus Home Ranch

This is a wonderful location. I have been here before to visit the bar on adventures into the forest, but this was my first time having a complete dining experience. They're Valentine's Day service and menu was excellent. I am glad I chose to share this special day with Due West Olema.

We keeping coming back for the food quality and the fantastic service. My shrimp scampi was cooked perfectly and the special chocolate heart shaped cakes were so delicious!

If you are near Sebastopol, Goldfinch NEEDS to be on your list. I don't know where to begin on the food... - The pickled veggies were the right balance of acidic, herbaceous, slightly sweet, and crunchy - The Baby Gem lettuce, strawberry salad was beautiful, refreshing, an excellent amuse bouche. - The Roasted Carrots with honey mustard puree were tender, savory, slightly glazed, and an excellent counter to the baby gem salad. - The Hangar steak was lights-out--charred, beefy, and a fatty/richness, cut perfectly with bleu cheese and the red wine glaze. The Potato pave was something I will absolutely be trying to make at an upcoming steak dinner I'm hosting (think Potato gratin cooked slowly in butter, seasoned, cooled+ pressed in a pan, and then cut into squares and deep-fried for a super sexy crispy exterior with fluffy/creamy/buttery/salty potato interior) - The star of the show was ABSOLUTELY the Dungeness crab ravioli Rose... If that stays on the menu, it is a MUST ORDER. Since I was lucky enough to have my wife order that, I got to do the cheat code/perfect bite of the evening--a little hangar steak, ravioli, some of the crispy exterior of the potato pave, and a little red wine glaze. Absolutely divine--surf & turf of legend. We will now be making whatever excuse we can to get back to Goldfinch.

An absolutely Michelin star quality night! We were not expecting that on Valentine’s of all nights where they were slammed! Food was perfect from the Waygu steak skewers, warm olives, stuffed Focaccia, Short Ribs, Pork chop, veggies to the Lemon Shaken pie. Thank you Central Market!

Delicious dinner and fabulous service! Thank you for a wonderful evening!
