The Best Restaurants in Sonoma County - Eater SF
"Nearly hidden in a strip mall outside of downtown’s bustle, Piala serves cuisine from Georgia native chef Ketevan Mindorashvili along with co-chef Irma Hernandez and wine director Jeff Berlin. Lavash wraps burst with grilled chicken shashlik and spiced walnut spread, lettuces and roasted beets are brightened with house-made yogurt and tahini, and a warming stew of lamb’s head and neck seasoned with parsley and fenugreek reflect flavors both homey and fresh. Grab a seat at one of the family-sized tables for a glass of fizzy Malvazija pet nat and get to know your neighbor — that’s part of the joy. Berlin’s partner in the restaurant is Lowell Sheldon, who previously faced allegations of sexual harassment and assault, which he denies." - Christina Mueller, Eater Staff
