Boon Eat and Drink

The menu reads as a modern California bistro: small plates, salads and seasonal main courses built on organic produce where possible, artisan cheeses and Sonoma County meats, with the garden setting the rhythm through the year. Start with a few shared plates, add a salad, and let a larger dish anchor the table; the truffle fries have long been a reliable opener. The wine list keeps close to home, favoring Russian River producers with depth in small-production Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while the beer list holds to Sonoma and Mendocino microbrews. Dinner runs Wednesday through Sunday from 4 p.m. Arrive early on summer weekends, when river visitors fill the room, and note that weekend take-out orders close at 6 p.m.
