MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking

The Sonoma Plaza lucked out with this little wine bar that is sure to be a gamechanger for the area. Its vibe is come-as-you-are; and the tiny menu is a revolving door of fresh ingredients prepared with little fuss. The affordable wine list is a veritable call to adventure, highlighting organic and biodynamic favorites from the nooks and crannies of California and beyond.It wouldn’t be so unreasonable to eat here either. From soft-boiled eggs finished with a savory XO sauce to duck breast tortillas served with house-made hoisin that is best in class, everything is better shared. For dessert, olive oil cake with yogurt and orange-citrus marmalade is yet another illustration of how this team under-promises but over-delivers in the most welcome of ways.
