Is anyone surprised that the team behind Ramen Gaijin has another hit on their hands? The chefs here have traveled extensively throughout Thailand, which inspired them to bring its flavors back to Sebastopol. Certainly, anyone expecting the sweeter, Americanized side of Thai cooking is in for an awakening. This is food that is seasoned boldly, by turns spicy, fresh and complex. From green papaya salad to fried chicken with a punchy nam jim dipping sauce, flavor abounds. The pastes for all the curries are also made in house, as with a heady massaman curry featuring golden potatoes and meltingly

Ramen Gaijin

Japanese, Ramen · Bib

With more than a decade of history behind it, this Japanese favorite is a must-visit in Sonoma County. Fusing local ingredients with traditional technique, the kitchen delivers a range of top bites, starting with superb chicken karaage with miso ranch as well as crispy tofu with Calabrian chili and toasted sesame oil. Featuring house-made noodles, ramen is the main event. The light shoyu ramen is as impressive as the richer, spicy tantanmen, highlighting pork belly chashu, Sapporo noodles and woodear mushrooms. The best seats at this expansive restaurant are at the counter, where you can watch

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 and the kaiseki-influenced cuisine. The menu begins memorably with a botanical landscape interspersed with impeccable first bites that introduce the central themes of the meal: impeccable ingredients, precise knife technique, artistic presentation and pure

This custom-designed domain of Chef Brian Limoge exudes cozy sophistication and is a respectful retooling of a late 1800s Victorian structure in downtown Sonoma. This tasting menu marries global flavors, refined technique and exceptional ingredients, including produce sourced from affiliated Stone Edge Farm, all shot through with subtle nods to the chef’s New England roots. Take, for example, the signature clam chawanmushi which evokes the spirit of chowder. The team shows a masterful hand with grilling, and the complementing sauces surprise and delight, as in luscious hearth-roasted quail ado

Halfway across the globe, the husband-and-wife team of Roberth and Andrea Sundell have brought the flavors of their native Stockholm to their adopted hometown, Petaluma. This cheery, minimal spot plays all the hits: pickled herring, hearty meatballs and house-made sodas. Heavy Middle Eastern and light California touches still manage to creep in, as seen in the skagen — a classic dill-shrimp salad that adds avocado to the mix. The menu also flaunts delicious nods to Sweden’s Middle Eastern community by way of fried halloumi, falafel, tabbouleh and a terrific beef-lamb pita wrap.

Soak up the bucolic splendor of Napa’s northern reaches at the Four Seasons resort, the ideal setting for this modern take on Wine Country fine dining. Guests enter through Truss, the operation's more casual sister restaurant, before being seated in a dining area flanked by the gleaming kitchen, encased behind glass, which showcases the culinary team's bustling activity. The cuisine offers a distinctly Californian perspective, highlighting local produce, including from on-site gardens. The cooking also displays a clear Mexican influence, with the likes of Australian wagyu with mole, sea bream

Celebrated Wine Country chef Douglas Keane has returned to the fore with his re-launch of Cyrus in Geyserville. Set among rolling vineyards, the dining rooms are housed in a coolly modern concrete and glass lair that offers a striking contrast to the verdant surroundings—an old-growth plum tree in the courtyard is a nod to their past as the Sunsweet prune packing facility. Dinner is an ebullient experience that progresses from canapes and Champagne in the lounge, to small bites in the kitchen, substantial compositions in the dining room and a sweet finish in the Chocolate room.

Thomas Keller’s legendary destination still doesn’t miss a beat. In fact this may be known as the greatest cooking space in America, as every aspect is carefully determined—from the counter height to the flowing lines of the ceiling. Chef Keller continues to pair classic French techniques with wildly fresh ingredients in a setting that is a perfect storm of restaurant greatness—we should all be so lucky to score a reservation here. The cornet filled with crème fraîche and topped with Atlantic salmon tartare is an impressive start before moving on to dishes like Atlantic pompano amandine, sweet
