"Brought to Sebastopol by the same team behind nearby Sushi Koshō, the oyster bar at the Barlow knows its way around seafood, delivering American-style food in a chic French-style bistro setting. Grilled Spanish octopus gives way under your fork, kampachi tartar glistens under dollops of white soy and dijo, and crispy oysters arrive in a paper-lined basket atop duck fat fries. A short list of French wines seems well-suited to match the vibe." - Christina Mueller, Dianne de Guzman
