Best Sonoma Restaurants. Well, it was the year the kale salad took center stage. Toast became an entree. Meatless dishes got really interesting. Comfort food got even more comforting. Lentils and uni became my favorite foods. Donuts made a bold return and we learned a thing or two about the authentic flavors of Thailand, Mexico, India and Hungary.

In an otherwise (let’s admit it) crap-tastic year, the dishes of Sonoma County’s restaurants were the constant surprise and delight in a 365-day slog of “did that seriously just happen?”

Here are some of the best, most interesting, beautiful, delightful, surprising and most of all delicious dishes of the year in pictures. And here’s to 2018, where the table’s set and our Sonoma County chefs are eagerly waiting to impress us yet again.

Please note that restaurants like Single Thread in Healdsburg and a handful of others aren’t included because I simply didn’t take pictures there — not because they weren’t great. All photos by Heather Irwin.
