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. 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).
Indoor and Patio Dining.
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, macaroni & cheese,
and a decadent brownie. Best of all, it's only ten minutes away in Glen Ellen at 13690 Arnold Drive. Telephone: 707.938.2130 .
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) at
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. at 9900 Sonoma Highway Kenwood. Phone: (707) 833-6326
If you feel like heading toward the Sonoma Square:
The Girl and the Fig - Features a wonderful antique bar with French aperitifs & traditional cocktails, an award-winning "Rhone Alone" wine list, a

Regional Italian food and festive drinking. This is owned by The Girl & The Fig folks. Telephone: 707-933-3663. 400 W. Spain St., Sonoma.
Maya - Mayan flavors blended with the freshest ingredients in the area. An interesting and fresh change from the Northern Mexican combinations
you see all the time. Yucatan spirit, incredible margaritas, and a popular Tequila bar! On the Plaza at: 101 E. Napa Street, Sonoma. 707.935.3500
