Mosaic Restaurant and Lounge On the main street in Forestville, nexy door to the best Art Gallery in the county, Quicksilver. Many in the area enjoy the warm atmosphere, the seating which allow you to watch the chef prepare your meal and the fireplace. This place is recommended highly by many in the area. Visit Mosaic website.

In Graton, Willow Wood Market. This is a spot the locals frequent, it's an old grocery store, sort of funky looking, with interesting nic nacs for sale and the food is so delicious...meat, fish, and vegetarian, good wine selection. No reservations, go early, although in the middle of the week you shouldn't have to wait long.

Across the street is the Underwood, which is a step up in cost, great place to go for oysters, and I recommend it especially if it's a hot day because then you can eat outside on their patio where it is quieter. It is a bit noisy inside. A very active bar where the young and restless hang out in the evening.

Bistro des Copain ..In Occidental. Small, fine and delicious food. Everything from scallops, fine wine to pizza and oysters. It's one of my favorite restaurants and it's located in a lovely litle village only 10 minutes from here! Call for reservations.

HOP MONK - Bistro menu, more casual, a brewery with a good selection of local (and otherwise) beers . Their hamburgers and fries are great. They also have good salads as well as an eclectic selection that appeals to local tastes -- samosas, fish and chips, spinach and pear salad for example. The dark and comfortable booths inside are welcoming and outside there is a lovely patio where live music is often available.

Further away but wonderful within 30 minutes...

Dry Creek Kitchen at the Healdsburg Hotel. This upscale place is located right on the Plaza in Healdsburg. They have jazz and drinks for free during the jazz festival..and other times too! Nice outdoor patio and swimming pool (dinner guests have pool privileges). Lots of chi chi boutiques in the area. Expensive.Go early for window shopping. Great book stores too.
Rivers End  near Jenner on the North coast. Lovely view of the coast, good food, cozy environment, located right on highway one.
Tandoori Grill is a definitely a "room with a view". The best view actually. For an early evening dinner of Indian Cuisine at a reasonable price go here.On warm evenings there is a deck and when it's cooler the view is framed in huge windows with a complete view of the Russian River Valley and the mouth of the river going into the Pacific Ocean. It is breathtaking, and the food is good..Tandoori specialties, curries. They have it all.

The Farmhouse Inn is a country inn, with a sophisticated menu. Romantic, with a good wine list, it is near here, on River Road out of Forestville (10 minutes).
