Doce Lunas Restaurant - This is one of our favorite restaurants, just four blocks away in the Kenwood Market Complex.
The owners are wonderful, the menu is wonderfully eclectic, and the restaurant is cozy and antiques-filled. Absolutely
everything on the menu is great -- from the crab cake salad at lunch, to the Kenwood Red Wine Marinated New York
Steak Au Poivre at dinner (served in a small cast iron skillet and surrounded by all kinds of yummy goodies!), you just
can't go wrong. And they serve Eggs Benedict all day! Cozy, delicious, and very reasonably priced. A nice outside patio
area, too.
Address: 8910 Sonoma Hwy, Kenwood. Telephone: 707.833.4000 Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Café Citti- a wonderful little place, just blocks from the house. Casual atmosphere, friendly staff, great service, and lots of homemade Italian food. The leek frittata sandwich on focaccia bread is just what you need in your tummy before you head out for a day of wine tasting. Yeah, it has about a zillion calories with all that delicious aioli, but when everyone else is getting light-headed, you'll be good to go. Indoor and Patio Dining.
9049 Sonoma Highway, Kenwood.
Phone: 707-833-2690. Open 7 Days a Week: Lunch: 11:00 A.M.-3:30 P.M. Dinner: 5:00 P.M.- 8:30 P.M. ('til 9:00 Friday and Saturday).
The Fig Cafe & Wine Bar - You can't go wrong with any of the restaurants owned by the Girl & The Fig group, but this one is our personal favorite. It's a little more casual, and the food leans more toward "comfort food." Think bistro-style steak and fries, pot roast, crab cakes, truffled macaroni & cheese, and a decadent brownie. And they don't charge corkage, so bring a bottle of wine! It's always busy, but there's almost never more than about a ten minute wait for a table. Best of all, it's only ten minutes away in Glen Ellen.
13690 Arnold Drive. Telephone: 707.938.2130
The Hot Box Grill - an unassuming building in a commercial area of Agua Caliente about 15 minutes South on Hwy. 12. You'd never stop in unless someone told you to go, but be prepared to be amazed by fabulous food! Our favorites: the crispy soft-boiled Stone Edge Farm egg salad with warm bacon vinaigrette, baby artichokes, escarole, and roasted spring potatoes. For an entree, try the marinated grilled hanger steak, duck fat fries (oh yes they did!), with béarnaise sauce and fresh vegetables. For dessert, the Boston cream roulade, vanilla bean creme chiboust, chocolate ganache, and chocolate toffee crumbs. I know, right?!!
18350 Sonoma Highway (near Boyes Blvd.) Phone: (707) 939-8383. Open at 5:30 for dinner, closed Mondays.
Glen Ellen Inn - Oyster Grill & Martini Bar - Cozy atmosphere and upscale dining in an intimate setting. California fusion with fresh meats, seafood, and, of course, oysters and martinis! Right in downtown Glen Ellen (about 10 minutes south on Hwy. 12; go right on Arnold Drive).
13670 Arnold Drive, Glen Ellen. Restaurant: (707) 996-6409 .
Kenwood Restaurant: Delicious fresh Wine Country cuisine, with a large menu including fresh fish, steaks, pastas, and who knew you could get escargots and steak tartare right in Kenwood? A large indoor seating area as well as a nice patio, located just about two minutes south of us on Hwy. 12.
