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.

I went to Bardo Lounge & Supper Club on 27th December with my family. There were 5 of us. We were not celebrating any occasion. In one simple word, our impression was that the food was outstanding! Starting from the first course, the Pickled Seasonal Veg, Apple & Parsnip soup, the Fall Salad and the main entre, we devoured the food. Four out of five of us had the 6 oz, Bardo Burger, which was delicious. Incidentally, we noticed only one dish based on fish, with hardly any sea food in the menu! The service was good! All in all, this was a restaurant where we will go again and again with friends and family!

Barndiva is Michelin star quality at an affordable price. The food is just phenomenal. Nothing is ever perfect - they need to bring in a pastry chef as their desserts are not at the same level as the rest of the menu. The wine list is incredibly international with phenomenal choices. I would go back again in a heartbeat!

About the restaurant

Located just off Sonoma Plaza, Cafe La Haye offers an appealingly unfussy sophistication. The split-level dining room holds just a dozen or so tables, but its open kitchen, raftered ceiling and walls adorned with modern art create a vibrant energy that’s contagious.
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.
Gropman’s wine list comprises a modest 100 bottles, but it’s a smart, well-focused selection -

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.

About the restaurant

Nestled in the heart of Woodside, The Village Pub is a culinary gem that has captivated the palates of discerning diners for over two decades. The restaurant's contemporary Californian cuisine, rooted in the culinary traditions of France and the Mediterranean, is a symphony of flavors that celebrates the freshest, seasonal ingredients. Each dish is a testament to the chef's artistry, with every component meticulously crafted to showcase the essence of each ingredient. The menu changes with the seasons, ensuring that diners can always savor the bounty of the harvest. The Village Pub's partnership with SMIP Ranch, a nearby organic farm, is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and sustainability. The farm's heirloom produce, cultivated with care and harvested exclusively for the restaurant, adds an unparalleled depth of flavor to every dish. The restaurant's ambiance is as inviting as its cuisine. The cozy front lounge and more formal dining area offer a choice of settings, each with its own unique charm. The warm, welcoming atmosphere makes The Village Pub the perfect place for a romantic dinner, a special occasion, or simply a delightful evening out with friends and family. Whether you're a seasoned gourmand or a curious newcomer, The Village Pub promises an unforgettable culinary experience. Come and

We like the Village Pub as a place for special meals. We took our family with an international visitor for dinner. Unfortunately we were seated next to a table of the loudest men I have encountered for a long time. We really struggled to chat, and our servers had to keep apologizing for not being able to hear us. It kind of ruined the experience. On the menu, it would be great to have more than one vegetarian entree. Our vegetarian essentially ate bread for her entree because she doesn’t like butternut squash. Service was lovely as always.

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.

I am not a bread person per se, but the foccacia turned me into one. Food was excellent but I would go back just for the foccacia.
