Healsburg SHED’s Fomer Chef Returns to Mendocino Roots at Boonville Hotel | Eater SF

"As part of Hoffman’s homecoming, he joined the Boonville Hotel as a partner in January and is now leading the kitchen, bringing a fine-dining aesthetic to the erstwhile roadhouse; the property, purchased by his uncle Johnny Schmitt in 1988 (who gave Hoffman one of his first cooking jobs), has undergone renovations to its seven guest rooms and dining room. Hoffman has created a menu that blends his fine-dining background with his local upbringing: the reimagined restaurant (formerly Table 128) offers a family-style prix fixe on Friday and Saturday with dishes like veal sweetbreads served with grilled artichokes, shallots, and whipped black pepper buttermilk; starting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday a small-plates menu features bites such as halibut crudo with fiddlehead ferns, avocado, mint, and lime; and for summer the hotel will host Sunday-night paella dinners in its courtyards while a taco stand, El Puesto, will pop up for lunch on Saturdays and Sundays." - Ellen Fort
