10 Enticing Northern California Restaurants

Any trip to California entails eating extremely well. With its unmatched agricultural bounty, stellar wine industry and easy-to-access ocean, California never fails to amaze me with the diversity, style and excellence of its restaurants. Here are those we most enjoyed on this trip.

We visited the restaurant at this small property during our stay at The Heritage House Resort, which is just three minutes away. A convivial spot with a bar that boasts 100-plus whiskeys, the restaurant offers fine fare that includes the wonderfully comforting seared-then-braised chicken with wild mushrooms, carrots, onions and garlic all in a rich Madeira sauce.
