Sonoma + First night in town casual dinner?

[DTurner]

I will be flying into SF early tomorrow and making my way to Sonoma for a wedding later in the week, first time. Looking for a medium casual place to sip some wine and have a decent meal while fighting some minor jet lag. I will already be hitting El Dorado on Friday night for a pre-wedding gathering.

Any help would be much appreciated.

BTW, this is my first post here, long time lurker for suggestions when I travel and I have to say a big thanks to all that contribute to this board. For a minor foodie like myself this place is a wealth of great information.

Peace

La Salette on celerytroot's link is a good bet. I don't remember any Portuguese restaurants in the Detroit area.

I was just there last week for the first time and had a great dinner at Della Santina's italian. Really great food, and a lovely garden. My fave meal there. Avoid Maya, the mexican food place. Bland, bland, bland. A local recommended Santina's and we were not disappointed. Also, look into Vella Cheese which is a block from the square. Amazing. Have fun!

Great, thank you so much. I was actually just looking at Della Santina's menu. This will be my first time in Cali and will be hitting Napa and SF as well, can't wait.

We also enjoyed the Gundlach Bundschu Winery very much!
