"We loved this place when we were last in Sonoma, but other than the location, it 's unrecognizable. Here 's the highlights... great staff tho the chef is new (I read online later that their long time chef retired and this is their 3rd or so since? the old menu had dishes like 'rabbit, rabbit, rabbit ' but now its all vegetables and fish, Asian flavor profile super tiny portions (even for fine dining , focus on technique but not delivering a good dish or experience (the tomato dish, and there 's a fish dish where 2 ppl explained how amazing the technique is for cooking w the skin on, but then you 've got scales in your teeth for the rest of the night flavors are very acid forward...Lord did I pick the wrong night to not take acid blockers! one of the dishes was a dehydrated then rehydrated tomato, which itself was fine but impossible to eat bc you had to cut the thing w a fork and knife while inside a tiny bowl. Just trying to cut it, hacking thru the tomato destroyed all the pretty touches and it was all i could do to keep it from ending up all over the table or across the room. Mind you, we were in peak tomato season, beautiful heirloom tomatoes everywhere...not dehydrated rehydrated another dish was a lovely piece of albacore w peach and basil, but a horseradish sauce drowned the albacore and all the flavors of the dish the dessert was amazing, the somm was great, and I do think they genuinely wanted feedback, but I just think they need to somehow rename, rebrand or somehow let ppl know it 's been such a dramatic shift in the menu...I 'd expect vegetable forward dishes from a farmhouse, focusing on fresh, beautiful locally sourced simple ingredients, but not Asian inspired fish dishes super heavy on acid"
