"Bird & The Bottle is both a tavern with an ample wine, beer, and cocktail list and a restaurant with globe-spanning flavors that define modern comfort. There’s a plentiful array of snacks and small plates; barbecued bone marrow with nduja, fried oyster lettuce cups with shiso, and Korean fried mushrooms work well together and apart. Comfortable seating abounds and warm lighting from strings of Edison bulbs invites lounging on the patio at night while colorful umbrellas soften Sonoma’s daytime brightness. Plus, you haven’t lived until you’ve shared a Dirty Dilbert cocktail with four or five of your closest friends." - Christina Mueller
