Bird & The Bottle

"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

"Jewish comfort food, Southern fried chicken, and Korean seasonings may seem like unlikely bedfellows, but that's kind of the point. In an open kitchen, chef Mark Stark turns out chicken fried oyster lettuce wraps, crispy skin salmon wings with kimchee salt and matzo ball soup (with BBQ chicken thigh, obviously). They've got a nice selection of crowd-pleasing beers on tap, too. "
