Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Forestville

Our experience started at the front door with my request to have our table set for side by side dining and immediately handled by the lovely receptionist. The room is the most unique dining spot in Santa Rosa and it's fun to watch the bar work and see all of the dishes being served. It's styled as a high end bistro and certainly comes off in that realm. Our waiter Ben was well versed in the menu and adept at offering wine selections to match with our menu selections. The menu prices are reasonable for the style and quality of the food but I have to say that the wine list is priced for the destination customer who is looking for an experience. A very pleasant and comfortable experience overall

The food was absolutely delicious. The waitress was excellent and the food came out quickly.

I have been to Grossman's several times, usually for lunch and brunch, both of which are excellent. Our dinner at Grossman's was terrific; very tasty and well-prepared. One suggestion is that they serve a vegetable in lieu of one of the two starches that accompany the chicken kebabs. The wine I had was very nice and reasonably priced; my husband loved his bloody mary. We'll be back!

Lo & Behold Bar + Kitchen in Healdsburg is a must-visit for those seeking a break from wine tastings. The cocktails are exceptional, showcasing top-tier mixology with creative and perfectly balanced drinks that stand out in Sonoma County. The food menu, while secondary to the drinks, offers flavorful dishes made with fresh, local ingredients, making it a great complement to the bar experience. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and stylish, creating an inviting and lively atmosphere. For amazing cocktails, good food, and a refreshing change of pace, Lo & Behold is the place to be.

I was a little surprised at the clam chowder, which is shellfish in a broth, not the creamy kind I am used to. It was good, but it is a lot of work to separate the clams from their shells, dispose of the shells, then dig out the clams from withinthe broth. Interesting experience! The shrimp risotto was excellent, the Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc accompanied it well, and to finish, the affogato was really nice. Mency was attentive and professional. And we had a perfect table, in the corner overlooking the water. The weather was drizzly and foggy, which the restaurant can't control (I'm sure they wish they could), so I'll try to be back when I can enjoy the view.
