For deliciously simple, smart cooking like you'd find in San Francisco, head to this charming little bistro on the outskirts of town. The chef-owner uses sustainably farmed, organic produce and meats in her soulful preparations of dishes like Sonoma duck breast with maple-yam puree. Ochre-color sponge-painted walls lend warmth to the inviting and cheerful white-tablecloth dining room. Prices tend to be high, but you're paying for the top-quality ingredients, all grown by small local farmers.
