In Sonoma, we visited the restaurant called The Girl and The Fig, which was highly recommended by Frommers and also some friends of ours that visited Sonoma last summer...
The Girl and the Fig is located at the small town centre of Sonoma, and has a beautiful patio at the back of the restaurant. The style is French country, very casual, relaxing, with friendly staff...
Unfortunately we were not very hungry when we went to this restaurant, so we only sampled 2 plates from the menu and a great wine...
We selected a wine that was recommended by our waitress - red, fruity, not strong as we asked for - and we loved it. The good thing is if you can not finish they cork it for you and you can take it with you when you are leaving... The wine is : Cline 2007 Ancient Vines Mourvedre, Contra Costa County.
As food, we shared a goat cheese sampler (three types of goat cheese served with fruits, nuts and baguette) and wild flounder "meunière" (served with yukon potato purée, sautéed spinach & lemon-caper brown butter sauce). Cheese were good, and fish was especially delicious.
This place has all the charm of wine country, sunny patio with good food&wine and friendly staff... Highly recommended if you will stop by Sonoma one day... Reservations are recommended...
