"Founded in 2009 by Crista Luedtke, this pioneering downtown spot serves fresh, Californian, farm-sourced cuisine with a wine list focused exclusively on Russian River producers. The atmosphere is casual and cozy (parties larger than six are not accepted), the plates are colorful and seasonally driven, and the owner is known to mingle with guests; the venture has since expanded into other local concepts such as a tequila/mezcal bar and a new outpost called Road Trip." - Jennifer Maerz, Jessie Beck
"Mirroring its clean and simple aesthetic, Brot (German for bread) serves unpretentious German food done right. Teeming with purple cabbage and haus-made kraut, this might be the most beautiful hamburger in the county. Chef Crista Luedtke also slings classics like Bavarian pretzels, spatzle with speck, schnitzel, and wurst plates. Fresh salat with little gems or kohlrabi and apple nicely balance the meat, which is mostly organic and locally procured." - Jess D. Taylor
