12 Essential Restaurants in Santa Rosa

"This throwback European diner that highlights a range of European comfort food — Portuguese fish stew, pork schnitzel, chuleton — is already creating a buzz about town. Chef Jeremey Whitcomb helms the stoves, in partnership with co-owners Julia Hsieh and Lowell Sheldon, who previously faced allegations of sexual harassment and assault; Sheldon denies all allegations and has not been charged with a crime. The library room, originally intended as staff space, is the go-to reservation, and dinner is available nightly until 11 p.m., a rarity in town. Old school touches like beef tallow to cook French fries or pink pickled eggs and pan de mie to accompany a plate of lox reinforce the traditional approach." - Christina Mueller
