• Healdsburg’s tiny Scopa is a three-star hit for Michael Bauer, who liked the “Italian-influenced” food and smart service. “With its rough brick, wood and concrete walls, the restaurant seems as if it would be more at home in SoHo than the Sonoma Wine Country.” [SF Chronicle]
• At Saison, Matthew Stafford appreciates the fine dining fare and country vibe. “The overall effect is of a little French farmhouse with trout and mushrooms from the surrounding countryside and a Michelin star in the window.” [SF Weekly]
