Did a lot of online research before we went so thought I'd return the favor and provide some recommendations! On the way up we stopped at Fiesta Market to stock up. Driving from SF, taking Highway 116 through Sebastopol helped bypass Santa Rosa traffic. And, it was a pretty drive. Fiesta Market was similar to a Mollie Stones, kind of like a Mom and Pop version of Whole Foods, we loved it. Great pricing and great selection of produce, meat, cheese, everything we needed. Then we hit up Russian River Pub on Highway 116 just east of Guerneville, in Forestville. Had read on Chowhound that their wings kicked butt and they did not disappoint! We were saying they may have been the best wings we'd ever had. The next day for lunch we hit up Stumptown Brewery in Guerneville. Great pulled pork sandwich, great burger, great fries, great beer, great outdoor deck. SLOW service. Think they forgot our order or something. But still a cool spot. Other non-food recommendations - stopped at King's in Guerneville to pick up some tubes for a river float, the guys in there are unbelievably nice. Also, if you're looking for a good beach for laying out and swimming at the river, Sunset Beach is awesome, it's about 2 miles east of Korbel. Can't wait until our next weekend there!!!!

It's run by the people who own the Boon Resort and Spa, not too far away. The restaurant is a small casual room with a bright, clean utilitarian look. My friend and I had salads that we each enjoyed, along with Chardonnay from the nearby Dutton Estate Winery. http://thesluicebox.blogspot.com/ Mon Sep 07 19:43:51 -0700 2009 5012230 1105836 DandySF 1 5013489 Service at Stumptown is slow. I thought it was just me, but I think one or more of their servers might just be super forgetful. Last time they forgot an order of ribs, and we were foolish enough to wait about 15 minutes past the arrival of the last dish before we mentioned it. The server felt so bad she brought my friend a free beer and brought what looked like an extra large plate of ribs and fries, but I'm definitely going to be more on my toes there in the future. That said, I still love Stumptown. Great food, great view, super nice (if forgetful) staff. Tue Sep 08 09:56:20 -0700 2009 5012067 11577 Pei 1 5014928 Nice report. If you go up that way again, Andy's Produce is a great place to stop. Tue Sep 08 18:32:54 -0700 2009 5012067 10264 rworange
