Santa Rosa-based interior designer Cesar Chavez started his career as a 16-year-old by planning a remodel of his family’s Stockton home. Chavez, who had learned basic design principles by watching HGTV, had plenty of ideas for how the family home could be improved, including removing a wall to create more space and adding an eat-in counter, which he designed for the kitchen.
The remodel was a success and Chavez, encouraged by the experience, headed off to study interior design at San Francisco’s Academy of Art University a few years later. After graduation, he gained further experience at a design firm in Marin County and he also started a YouTube channel with DIY design tips.
By closely monitoring the analytics for his YouTube channel, which measure amount of views for each video, Chavez learned what people were interested in and he created more of that kind of content. Some of his videos now have thousands of views; one video, “DIY faux beams with wood grain tool,” has over 270,000 views.
Now, a principal designer at Salt Shed Studio in Sonoma and at his own Cesar Chavez Design Studio, Chavez has developed his own unique style and design preferences. He likes simple and modern design but also appreciates a mix of styles.
The Santa Rosa designers main goal when working with clients is to translate their preferences into a cohesive look, which helps tell their story. For a client who loves to travel, for example, he incorporated a Moroccan motif into the interior design by using tile the client had brought back from a trip to the North African country. Other clients, who had lost their home in the Tubbs fire, wanted a replica of their old home’s original door — a 1990s design with sidelights. After a long search, Chavez managed to find just the right door and make it work with the overall look of the new home.
Chavez also likes to design with practicality in mind. Many clients may love the look of marble countertops, for example, but for those who like to bake, it’s not the best choice because of how the stone wears over time. In those cases, quartz is better. He also likes to suggest plain-faced kitchen cabinet doors to clients who would like to avoid having to regularly wipe down surfaces — these cabinet doors collect less dust than the framing of Shaker-style cabinets. If you’re worried that your kitchen might look too plain, interesting light fixtures can add instant style and can also be a great way to mix traditional and modern design.
“Many times clients have an inner designer,” says Chavez and mentions how many know more about interior design and decoration, thanks to TV shows and the internet. His aim is to help them navigate all their different ideas and preferences.
Working closely with clients, Chavez is always happy when he receives updates and photos from their new or remodeled homes or invitations to housewarming parties. He says it’s been particularly humbling to work with people who’ve lost their homes to wildfires; to try to incorporate some of their memories and stories into their new homes.
“I appreciated every client meeting to hear their story,” says Chavez. “The process was difficult for them because of what happened. I’m very grateful that I was able to create something beautiful for them.”
Sonoma County’s booming housing market set another record in July. The median sale price of a single-family home reached $825,000, signaling “a continued frenzy in the housing market emerging from the pandemic that has exacerbated affordability for middle-class families striving to become homeowners,” according to The Press Democrat.
In Healdsburg, one of the most expensive places to live in Sonoma County, affordable housing options are few and far between, especially in the wake of the pandemic, which has made high-earning urbanites able to relocate to larger homes in less-populated areas as they continue to work from home.
Aligning with the goal to expand workforce housing in one of the North Bay’s most expensive markets, a new housing development in Healdsburg will feature 41 low-income rentals available to Healdsburg residents and workers. The housing development, named The Exchange, will offer affordable units to those earning below 50% of the annual median income — $58,150 for a family of four and about $40,000 for an individual.
The Exchange will be part of the $500 million Mill District mixed-use development that will include luxury condominiums. The project recently broke ground on the site of a former lumber mill property just off the Healdsburg Plaza.
“These units are critical. I also think it’s a good opportunity for people to live in mixed-income units,” said Stephen Sotomayor, Healdsburg’s housing administrator, in an interview with The Press Democrat in November 2020. “Studies show a mix of incomes in different areas, including affordable housing units, makes for a more healthy community, instead of clustering certain incomes in a certain area.”
Replay Destinations, a Vancouver-based real estate developer, is in charge of turning the former lumber mill property into Mill District, which, in addition to luxury residences, will feature a retail and commercial space, a boutique hotel and a public park. The company has partnered with Eden Housing of Hayward, an affordable housing developer, to create the affordable apartments that will make up The Exchange.
The 41 affordable units, designed by Oakland-based Pyatok Architecture + Urban Design, will feature modern interiors, new energy-efficient appliances and will have central heating and air-conditioning. Common outdoor areas will have barbecues and 21 raised garden beds available to residents.
The luxury residences will be designed by Seattle-based architect Olson Kundig. The interiors will have a “restrained modern aesthetic” with open-concept floor plans, appliances by Miele, wine fridges and sliding and fixed glass walls that will connect indoor and outdoor spaces.
At a recent groundbreaking event, spirits were high as developers, investors and local leaders came together to celebrate the beginning of the new mixed-use development. The projected completion date for the Mill District is September 2022. Healdsburg council member Ariel Kelley mentioned at the event that those interested in living at The Exchange can prepare for eligibility now by working on improving their credit scores and filing income taxes.

Chasing the newest, hottest restaurant openings in Sonoma County can be exciting for a writer, but it can come at a significant cost — overlooking the restaurants that succeed year after year, the chefs that perfect their dishes month after month and the dining rooms that become part of our lives day after day.
The more I think about the overall food landscape of our county, the more obvious it is that long-standing restaurants like Central Market in Petaluma (and many others) are so beloved and so iconic that it’s a serious lapse to not showcase what’s taken years to perfect. In Central Market’s case, that is 18 years of chef/owner Tony Najiola’s life.
Dressed in his chef’s coat, Najiola looms large over the dining room — watching every dish go out, visiting every table to ensure his patrons are happy — but he never imposes. The open kitchen, dining room and bar feel airy, with full views of the wood-fired oven and the line. But it’s the food, frequently sourced from Najiiola’s Muleheart Farm, that really does the talking here: Instead of foams and potions and powders, the food is just, well, food.

Fresh Burrata ($16) is so simple it’s ridiculous, with fresh and buttery cream-stuffed mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, capers and crostini. The flavor comes from gently dressed tomatoes and the authenticity of each ingredient. Batter-fried Alaskan Halibut ($18.50) are pieces of delicately fried whitefish nestled into butter lettuce cups with fresh herbs and gribiche (a vinegary sauce with hard-boiled eggs) and eaten in a couple dainty bites.
The same simplicity and deliciousness goes for every dish. Take the Slow Roasted Beet Salad ($14), which tastes like fresh beets (not pickled within an inch of their lives) with earthy baked goat cheese and spicy greens.
If you order the wood-fired pizza, which you should, the Fungi ($20) is a best bet with button mushrooms, nutty Fontina, salty Parmesan and creamy leek confit.
The signature entree is Najiola’s slow-cooked Angus Short Ribs ($32) that fall to pieces at a mere touch of the horseradish gremolata and leek potato gratin.
Leave room for dessert, because the Meyer Lemon Pudding Cake ($9.50) is a heavenly mix of tart lemon curd and sponge that’s as memorable as a first kiss.
The menu changes frequently, so you’ll likely see some alterations as the seasons pass. Just don’t wait 18 years to get there.

Dining editor Heather Irwin picks some favorite spots for summer dining in Sonoma County. Click through the above gallery for dishes to order.
Folktable
Let’s not mince words. Cornerstone Sonoma has long sought, and sometimes failed, to find an audience. It’s a lovely spot with sculpture gardens, tasting rooms, and aspirational design shops.
But the glue necessary to bind it together was never there, as restaurants quietly came and went without adding to the cohesion of a larger whole.
Until now. Folktable — a project from “Top Chef” finalist Casey Thompson and executive sous chef Melanie Wilkerson — is transforming meh into magnificent. After an extended ramp-up, Folktable has spread its wings with an expanded menu, dine-in seating, and patio service in the magnificent gardens. With flowers blooming, warm sun shining, and a bustling brunch set packing the place, it’s safe to say this spot is one of summer’s big hits.
Sitting under a sprawling olive tree, we couldn’t imagine a lovelier meal: fried chicken, tater tots smothered in Kewpie mayo and bonito flakes, and a big farm salad, each dish better than the last. Folktable also has a menu for dogs (of course), coffee and pastries from an outdoor kiosk, and the Best Buttermilk Carrot Cake, which lives up to its name.

Best Bets
Fried Chicken Goujons, $18: This is just a fancy name for chicken fingers — juicy breast meat pieces covered in sticky chile-honey sauce and served with sweet, milk-washed Hawaiian rolls, pickles, and jalapeño dipping sauce.
Turkish Eggs, $13: This dish is a beauty. Poached eggs top warm Greek yogurt punctuated by Aleppo chile butter and crunchy shallots. Dip in crusty slices of sourdough for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.
Okonomiyaki Tots, $13: Here’s a riff on the savory Japanese pancake dish, topped with creamy Kewpie mayo, sweet barbecue sauce, scallions, and bonito flakes.
Open Wednesday through Sunday. 23584 Arnold Drive, Sonoma, 707-356-3569, folktable.com
Casino Bar & Grill – The Holly and Tali Show
The Casino Bar & Grill is a place to discover accidentally and then love unconditionally. As visitors crane their necks to see the steeple of the Saint Teresa of Avila church, made famous in Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds,” they tend to overlook an old wooden building that leans into the road at the center of town. For more than 100 years, the nondescript structure — with its neon red “CASINO” sign out front — has stood as a simple roadhouse. (It’s never been an actual casino.) Inside, the space is dark and woody, with creaking floors and an old jukebox in the corner. It’s not a place begging for attention from hipsters for its lineup of craft brews.

On Monday through Thursday nights, local chefs and caterers Holly Carter and Tali Aiona put on the Holly and Tali Show at the Casino, preparing dinner menus reflecting the surrounding fields, farms, and fisheries.To call it a pop-up isn’t quite fair, because the duo have been creating destination-worthy food here for nearly six years — in a kitchen barely larger than its twoburner stove.
Recent menus included Panizzera sausage and brisket lasagna; orange-olive oil upside-down cake (their baked goods are incredible); Dungeness crab mac and cheese that beats every version I’ve ever had; kale and Brussels sprouts salad with prawns; tikka masala; and cider-brined pork chops with red lentils.
Don’t go in with any preconceived ideas. Just let Holly and Tali cook for you.
Open for dinner Monday through Thursday. 17000 Bodega Highway, Bodega. Order in advance; nightly menus are posted on Instagram @thehollyandtalishow. More details at thehollyandtalishow.com
Nimble & Finn’s
Guerneville’s legendary ice creamery has quietly opened a Santa Rosa outpost in Railroad Square with seasonal flavors like front porch mint chip, lavender honeycomb, and whiskey butterscotch. There are also boozy ice cream floats: We love the Permanent Holiday, featuring creamy Meyer lemon ice cream, Lo Fi sweet vermouth and Goat Rock rosé cider, and the summery Strawberry Letter, which combines strawberry sorbet, vermouth, elderflower, and Champagne. Either goes great with one of their gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches.
Open Thursday-Sunday. 123 Fourth St., Santa Rosa, 707-666-9590, nimbleandfinns.com

Americana
The opening of Americana is a dream come true for Samantha and Ryan Ramey.
The owners of Estero Cafe in Valley Ford saved for years with the hopes of bringing their field-to-fork diner fare to Santa Rosa. After simmering on a back burner during the pandemic, the restaurant is all ready for summer, with odes to classic American comfort food—think 1950s favorites like burgers, fried chicken, and onion rings with a side of the best pie you’ve ever had, all sourced from local farms and ranches.
Even in its infancy, Americana is the kind of uncomplicated, from-the-heart food that speaks to the moment. Best bets include the burger with blue cheese, mushrooms, and bacon—a mouthful of a meal on a Village Bakery bun—plus a fried chicken sandwich with coleslaw for extra crunch, a classic Cobb salad, and thick milkshakes with Straus ice cream. Americana’s holy grail French fries are cooked in beef tallow, just like original McDonald’s fries. Frying fat comes from Stemple Creek Ranch (as does the beef for the burgers) and is rendered in-house. It’s not a simple process, but the results are undeniable.
Open Thursday- Sunday. 205 Fifth St., Santa Rosa, 707-755-1548, americanasr.com
Cafe Citti
After a long renovation of the former Whole Pie location in Santa Rosa, the iconic Kenwood Italian restaurant best loved for its Caesar salad, lasagna, and crave-worthy pasta sauces is once again in business – with a twist.
Owners Luca and Linda Citti are now focused on takeout (though there are a handful of coveted seats on the outdoor deck). Pizzas, pasta, salads and sandwiches are queued up with amazing efficiency and ready to shuttle home to your table. There’s a lot of mix-and-matching on the menu, pairing sauces with pastas or polenta, which we love. Don’t miss the fried polenta with mushroom sauce or the pollo affumicato, a smoked chicken with tomato, and lemon cream sauce that’s perfect on anything.
Open Tuesday- Saturday. 2792 Fourth St., Santa Rosa, 707-523-2690, cafecitti.com

Coyote Sonoma
“Beverly Healdsburg,” as locals sometimes call the once-sleepy ranch hamlet, is not known for its beer and chicken wings scene. But the one thing Healdsburg cannot abide, more than big-screen televisions the size of small trucks? Uninspired food. That’s why we’re smitten with Coyote Sonoma, in a hidden space in downtown’s Mill District. The spot’s Wednesday night trivia nights are becoming legendary, and the place feels like old times, when we could laugh and play games and shout out answers together.
Chef Tim Vallery has turned a ho-hum menu into something worthwhile: Reuben sandwiches with melted Gruyere; red wine arancini; and Pitman Farms chicken wings with housemade blue cheese dressing. Coyote Sonoma is just what we need right now: the familiar flavors of fun with a deft hand in the kitchen.
Open Wednesday – Saturday. 44F Mill St., Healdsburg, 707-433-4444, coyotesonoma.com
As summer temperatures continue to soar, we are all searching for ways to stay cool. How about beating the heat with an overnight stay or day pass at one of the many splashy hotel properties in the area? Sonoma County has plenty of sparkling pools perfect for a hot day. As does Napa. Click through the above gallery for some of our favorites. Did we miss your favorite? Let us know in a comment below.

The everyday roar of life can be deafening. Even in relative quiet, phones chime, dogs bark, the refrigerator hums and meetings beckon. Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery, deep in the Dry Creek Valley, is a place to reclaim that inner quiet with a series of Sunday brunches running through October.
The Italian-inspired winery estate, Villa Fiore, is encircled by exquisite gardens, including an enclosed meditative garden with a footbridge and chef’s garden, as well as a spectacular fountain that splashes in the background.

Through October, you can enjoy a delicious brunch and wine tasting on the patio with just a handful of other guests. It’s a lovely affair that includes dishes like Prosciutto Benedict with estate eggs, Hollandaise sauce and Italian prosciutto; a Brunch Pizza with Journeyman bacon or the delicious Porchetta Sandwich with herbed pork, truffle aioli and pecorino cheese on a ciabatta.
Seatings from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sunday. Reservations are required. $85 per person ($68 for wine club members). 8761 Dry Creek Road, Healdsburg. Details at ferrari-carano.com

Prepare for changes in your dining experience as staffing woes, financial pinches, exhaustion and a quest for something just … different alter the restaurant landscape. Menus, hours, seating and pretty much everything else may change, and there’s also a sudden groundswell of ideas throughout Sonoma County that are introducing the out-of-the-ordinary.
Here are two incredible Santa Rosa restaurants representative of the kinds of changes that have us so excited about what’s next. Expect to hear about more fresh ideas at old haunts (and new spots) as we survey the new, new dining scene.
The Spinster Sisters
While the pandemic was rough for Chef Liza Hinman of The Spinster Sisters restaurant in Santa Rosa, she continued to find other ways to reach her loyal audience. First, with curbside pickup, then with creative, globe-spanning “Family Meal” dinners for two like braised chicken with artichokes, polenta and field greens with green garlic focaccia, salad and a dessert. When restrictions eased slightly, she and her staff built an outdoor garden with casual tables and the restaurant sold wines by the bottle and pantry items. Basically, Hinman did whatever she could to keep the restaurant open and staff working.
Now Hinman and many other chefs are taking stock as dining reopens. Limited staff, pandemic exhaustion and a refocus on what really matters are leading many to change business models, rethink menus and reassess what got them into the food business in the first place.

For Hinman, that’s meant some radical changes. She ended breakfast and lunch service, reformatted her menu to better reflect her cooking style and realized that trying to be everything to everyone just wasn’t sustainable.
“Coming out of the pandemic, I faced a lot of tough decisions about the direction we were going to head as a business when we reopened,” Hinman said.
“After a year of traveling the globe through our Family Meal menus, I wanted to take some time and cook food that was closer to my culinary home. So I looked to New England for some inspiration — where I grew up — and also to my Italian culinary background, the cuisine I spent most of my formative years cooking in San Francisco and Sonoma County,” she said. “I decided to part ways with the menus that had defined Spinster in pre-pandemic times and start fresh — essentially, open a new restaurant highlighting our garden space and these culinary influences.”
That’s not an easy pivot, especially with longtime patrons. But Hinman said she’s ready to focus on dinner service only and that the past few months have reinforced her resolve.
“We can’t please all of the different diners — those looking for pancakes and those looking for a fine-dining dinner. And we are unlikely to go back, because we are really feeling great about our new focus.“
Her New England background is apparent in the “Ocean” section of the new menu, with dishes like baked oysters with garlic herb butter and breadcrumbs ($12); a Wild Gulf Shrimp Salad Roll ($26) and Down East Clam Chowder with bacon, potatoes and homemade oyster crackers ($12) — one of the best-tasting chowders ever, especially with the float of crunchy crackers.
Another big winner from the Ocean section is the Mt. Lassen smoked trout pate ($15) with a piquant horseradish cream, avocado, beets and seeds with adorable endive boats for dipping. Finally, if you miss the Shrimp Salad Roll (lobster has gotten crazy expensive), you’re missing not only the buttery griddled bun but homemade salt and vinegar chips that put a smile on my face ($26). And that’s just one section of the menu that also includes a charming salad with Dry Creek peaches, Akaushi flat iron steak with grilled tomatoes and a divine blueberry bread pudding.
Spend some time perusing the well-curated wine list that includes several “orange” wines, which have nothing to do with actual oranges but an ancient winemaking technique that has been gaining traction in the last several years. The syrupy orange color belies a tart, nutty, often tannin-heavy wine that’s absolutely not like anything you’ve ever had.
Get ready for curves ahead, because The Spinster Sisters is not what it was. Even so, it still has the heart and personality it’s always had in spades. Open from 4 – 9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday for dinner. Family Meal dinners are available to eat in the garden. 401 S. A St., Santa Rosa, 707-528-7100, thespinstersisters.com.
Fourth Street Social
The former Jade Room in downtown Santa Rosa opened as Fourth Street Social just in time for the pandemic to start. It quietly hummed along serving only plant-based food until early 2021, when Chef Jeremy Cabrera decided to throw the whole thing sky high, reinvent the menu and bring a fine-dining feel to this pint-sized dining room.
You pretty much can’t look away from his Instagram feed @4thstreetsocialclub, featuring tweezer-ritfic plating, eye-popping rainbow hues using only plants and, of course, blue strawberries. Cabrera is clearly a tinkerer, using blue pea flower to color strawberries from the owner Melissa Matteson’s gardens and his own foraging.

The food is astounding, but we could do without some of the awkward folderol and pomp surrounding the dining experience. Such as, say, overly precious sections of the menu called “The Daughter” (smaller share plates) and “The Mother” (entrees) and the dishes requiring diners to order the “Penelope” (marinated pork belly) or “Daisy” (seared duck breast). The pre-meal complimentary tea is also slightly cringey (why am I getting tea?). Even the servers seem a bit embarrassed having to explain all the hoopla.
I get past it, however, for one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long, long time — the “Zuke” ($14) with roasted and torched white asparagus, fermented chiles, cherry relish, mint aioli and a shoyu-cured egg yolk topped with ube tuile. It’s tearfully lovely, but cracking the purple yam lace and releasing the salty umami yolk onto perfectly cooked asparagus is just as enjoyable. Eat with fingers for best results. Seriously, this is just so unexpected in downtown Santa Rosa.
We also love the “Lucy,” assorted seasonal housemade pickled fruits and veggies ($12). Pickled veggies are one thing, but adding fiddlehead ferns, blueberries and pickled strawberries makes it even more delightful. It’s this kind of attention that recently won the restaurant the Snail of Approval, a recognition of sustainable, slow food practices and a commitment to the core values of the slow food movement.
The “Daisy“ ($34) is a meaty dish with perfectly cooked duck breast with a bouquet of pickled and fresh cherries, watercress and dehydrated raspberries on a blackberry compote. Poured over tableside is a coconut lavender milk with herb oil. Sumptuous. Finally, don’t miss the “Lacey” ($32), a meat-free dish with roasted parsnips, cauliflower, pear rosettes, white corn succotash and lavender-smoked nectarine syrup with fried parsnip lace. I’m not a parsnip fan, but the roast made them sweet and soft, pairing so nicely with sweet summer corn.
Part of the joy of the meal is the farm-to-glass cocktails ($13), made with low-ABV spirits mixed with fresh fruit, bitters and even edible gold. Fun, without packing too big of a boozy punch.
Reservations highly recommended, 643 Fourth St., Santa Rosa, 707-978-3882, 4thstreetsocialclub.com
