Not only will your palate thank you but also its located in Historic Railroad Square which was the original heart of downtown Santa Rosa now a shopping district filled with restaurants ranging from casual eateries serving Russian dumplings known as pelmeni (at Petaluma ravioli shop) through upscale French bistros like La Gare.
And finally for those seeking something truly strange yet undeniably charming check out Guerneville Bank Club bar lounge small bites @gvillebankclub (16290 Main St, Guerneville).
