I don't remember how I first learned about The Girl and the Fig, but it is a great little restaurant in Sonoma. We had gone for the first time about 2 years ago, and on our trip last week to visit Sonoma State University, I wasn't going to pass up a chance to go back. I think I made the reservation at The Girl and the Fig before I booked the college tour. Priorities...
The restaurant is very quaint, and being on the town square only adds to the charm. The food is French country. Think rustic Provençal. Think Pastis in food.
They focus on fresh, seasonal, local products - vegetables, herbs, cheeses, charcuterie. The wine list contains only Rhone varietals and is easy to manage.
We had a fantastic meal. See my pics. But check out the whole menu on their website http://www.thegirlandthefig.com/. The menu changes regularly. If you find yourself anywhere in the Sonoma Valley make sure to go. Make sure you have a reservation.
