Best Healthy Restaurants in Occidental

It had been a while since we had had dinner at DCK, even though we live in town. What a great dining experience we had. First, DCK still waives corkage on Sonoma wines. Nice support for local vintners. Second, our server, Maria, was perfect. All 4 of us noticed that she hit the sweet spot between very attentive and not pulling up a fifth chair. She was charming, conversational, articulate about the menu options, and clearly interested in the quality of our experience. Third, not one bite of food was other than perfect. The portions were so generous that we’ll be getting a second meal from the things we brought home. My Liberty duck was excellent and the clam chowder soup was one of the most exquisite takes I have had. Not too creamy, not too thick, lots of clams cooked perfectly, and very flavorful. The mushroom dish with a parmigiana emulsion was raved about as were the chicken and steak entrees. A perfect dinner right there. Then came desserts. I loved my cheesecake. My wife loved her poached pear which was beautifully presented and delicious. The fixed price of $75 per person might seem high to some, but it was more than fair for the quality and quantity of food and the perfect service. We will be back much sooner after this experience.

Excellent cocktails, cool vibe, great food and prompt care from the staff. We are always pleased with our Fern Bar experience!

Delightful, leisurely outdoor lunch one week before Christmas. Sorry we did not find Bravas before now (we live in the same county). Will surely make a second visit before long.

I had the Monday prime rib special and it was SO good! Paired with a Rosemary Cosmo that complimented all the flavors beautifully. Been telling everyone I know to get there and eat.

We went with friends for a special occasion and had a wonderful experience. First time at Bay View restaurant. Our dinners were outstanding!!! I had the coq au vin, one person ordered the cedar planked salmon and two ordered the braised short ribs. The portions are generous and the presentation is really beautiful. The oysters appetizer plate was presented beautifully too. The service was wonderful- very pleasant, attentive but not hovering. The space is lovely- fireplace, white linen cloths, a rose on each table, nice lighting. And a full bar. We were really glad we’d decided to go here for this special holiday get-together and will definitely be back. This gem needs to be supported!!! Don’t miss the gingerbread Bodega display created by the very talented chef.
