The Michelin Guide's review
Here, in the bucolic loveliness at the heart of Sonoma Wine Country, sense of place combines exquisitely with the deeply personal vision of owners Chef Kyle Connaughton and head farmer Katina Connaughton. The nearby 24-acre farm provides much of the bounty prepared in the kitchen, and the couple’s time in Japan informs the restaurant’s ethos, from the kaiseki-influenced cuisine to the practice of omotenashi, a spirit of wholehearted hospitality. The menu begins, unforgettably, with a botanical landscape interspersed with impeccable first bites, serving to introduce the meal’s central themes: impeccable ingredients, precise, artistic presentation and pure, harmonious flavors. The expert use of the donabe (Japanese claypot) is a signature, transforming seafood and vegetables alike.
