Delicious cocktails and food. The fried quail was one of the best things I've ever eaten. We loved our server. The ambiance was warm and lovely and the open kitchen is done in a unique way and was cool to watch.

About the restaurant

Enjoy our oft-changing 3, 4 or 5-course Chef's menu for dinner inside our charming cottage. Outdoor seating is currently unavailable.

Come take a special journey when you dine at our charming restaurant.

Husband-and-wife team Sachin Chopra and Shoshana Wolff have turned a 1906 Victorian house into a pioneering dining destination that showcases Modern Californian Cuisine. It's local and seasonal whenever possible, but is also so much more. Sachin stretches beyond his classical training to create elegantly composed dishes that subtly hint at Indian, Japanese, Norwegian, Mediterranean and other worldly influences. The result is a unique cuisine with its own distinctive point of view. Warm, professional service and a thoughtful wine list enhance the experience.

We can't wait to see you!

About the restaurant

Recommended in the MICHELIN Guide for California 2021-2023. Located in Oakland’s historic Grand Lake District, Bardo is a neighborhood lounge and restaurant inspired by the comfort and camaraderie of a mid-century dinner party. Drawing on the celebration and elegance of old school entertaining, we envisioned a space for friends and neighbors to enjoy amazing food, cocktails, conversation and great music.

Our lounge is a swank living room, furnished with hand-picked finds from antique and vintage markets from Palm Springs to Portland. Our mezzanine dining room features a rotating menu of fresh, seasonal supper-fare with local and sustainably sourced meats, fish and produce. While we think the food, drinks and atmosphere are all great reasons to visit us, it’s the relationships with our friends, neighbors and guests that is the driving force behind Bardo.

We drove up from SF because I was excited for their burger. The one I had every few months since 2019. I should have known that when the regular restaurant wasn’t open and we were required to eat at Studio Barndiva, things were not going to be the same as my meal there in 2022. My bf got the NEW burger was mid- I’m not a fan of a burger with tons of cheese jammed in the center. He gave it an 8/10. (The original burger was a hard 10.) I ordered the crispy chicken, which was more like a chicken katsu with Indian spices, and it was great. Would I drive 75 minutes to eat at Studio Barndiva again? Absolutely not. How can I sign up to be notified when their regular restaurant and brunch begin again?

About the restaurant

Convivial owner Saul Gropman and chef Jeffrey Lloyd make a formidable team. Lloyd, former executive chef of restaurant Michael Mina, offers a seasonal menu that’s discreet in its complexity, featuring the sort of dishes that seem to get better with each bite.

About the restaurant

Welcome to Arandas, where we bring the soul of Mexican cuisine to downtown Healdsburg. Housed within the prestigious Relais & Châteaux property, Hotel Les Mars, Arandas provides a warm and friendly ambiance where we hope our guests become family and their experiences are always elevated.

From traditional Mexican dishes to innovative fusion creations, Chef Adrien Nieto's menu is a celebration of the bold flavors that this diverse region has to offer. Think ceviches with accents of Japanese ingredients; tacos with Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flair; and even a Mexican-style hummus emboldened with burnt chiles, black sesame, huitlacoche, and house-made Tajin seasoning enlivened with Persian sumac.

Arandas takes its name from the city in Jalisco that’s also home to the third generation, family-owned tequila producer, Tequilas El Mexicano. This tequila will be featured prominently at the bar, along with other well-curated tequilas, mezcals, and rums.

Four of us had a wonderful pre holiday lunch and we are all extremely satisfied customers for close to 20 years. The food was amazing, we began with fried calamari and the cauliflower soup. We shared the branzino (deboned ) sole fish, lamb chops and the chicken souvlaki. For dessert two of us enjoyed Judy's ice cream sundae and an order of galaktourrko and the chocolate cake. Delicious.. Our server Pryush was beyond outstanding, very helpful and extremely pleasant.

Enjoyed the Wagyu and the Duck on top of the dumpling. The Sea Breem had an amazing ponzu gel Only complaint is the year 2020 vintage of Rindo should not be served since that’s a horrible year for wine because of the Napa fires.

About the restaurant

Top Hatters Kitchen and Bar is a modern neighborhood restaurant, that has secured a place on the SF Chronicle's top 100 list and has been honored with a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. We serve an eclectic mix of rustic made-from-scratch dishes, celebrating the wonderful textures that make up our neighborhoods. We offer a mingling of small and large plates, meant to be shared, always nuanced and inspired by what we harvest from our neighboring small farms. Our food is approachable, eschewing complicated names, and bohemian in spirit as we are nonconforming and unconventional—sophisticated only in the way we can weave different ethnic influences and ingredients together.

The food is phenomenal. The atmosphere is lovely. Each dish has its own flavor profile, the flavors are amazing, the quality and presentation is amazing. A meal I dream about until the next time we go back. Love the Oxtail Stew, the meat platters are fantastic. The tissue bread, the artichokes, the mussels are all fantastic. And desserts are out of this world.

The food was--and is always--excellent, and the staff was very attentive. The overall "vibe" was warm and friendly.
