Nestled in a quiet, woodsy corner of Sonoma County, this inn draws guests thanks to its dining room’s soothing colors, rustic-elegant décor, crackling fireplace and numerous intimate nooks, including an enclosed patio. The menu shows a clear focus on seasonality, with a penchant for all things Californian. Kanpachi, set against ripe avocado slices, crunchy watermelon radish and celery leaf in a bright, citrusy yuzu vinaigrette, makes a dazzling appearance; while perfectly medium-rare antelope tenderloin flaunts a luscious texture. The signature “rabbit, rabbit, rabbit” comprises a confit leg, an applewood-smoked bacon-wrapped loin, and a minuscule rack of rabbit chops.
Pair your meal with a bottle from the impressive list of local and European wines.
