One of our favorite restaurants, ever. The food is superb, price is decent, and the location on Sonoma Square is just lovely (Sonoma Square is a lot of fun to walk around before dinner)

The best butcher in Sonoma County. Great place for picnic supplies, sandwhiches, and pizza to go. No indoor seating, so this is best for groceries or eating outside (plenty of places to eat just outside on nice days)
