We're going to SF and Wine Country in a few weeks.

These are the restaurants I have reservations at:

SF: Perbacco and Slanted Door (package at hotel includes lunch at Seasons restaurant in hotel--will also try their Burger Lounge for dinner one night)

Wine Country: Girl & The Fig, FARM, and Boon Fly Cafe. We're staying at Carneros Inn.

Any places we should add? We'll be spending 3 nights in each place. Hotel package comes with big breakfasts so we'll probably just have a snack during the day.

Thanks!

Tons of choices in SF but to help on the decisions...
- what's your budget?
- do you want formal or casual
- what kind of food do you like or want to try?
- do you want to be walking distance to your hotel (or close) or do you want to venture to other neighborhoods?

Perbacco is great and Slanted Door is an institution (some love it, others are mixed but it's one of the more popular restaurants in the city).

I'm interested too. We'll be in Guereneville and nearby areas, including Healdsburg. Our budget is limited. We'd like one or two nice meals out - up to $100 total, including wine. Of course if there are options for less, that's fine too!

we enjoyed "the restaurant pearl" in napa, which will be in our price range. if you are looking to splurge, have lunch (so you can see the views in the daylight, and it's less $$) and auberge du soleil. enjoy!

You say that you will be spending three nights in the Wine Country and already have reservations at three restaurants for dinner and two of them are at your hotel. How can we help you?

Austin, here's a recent list I posted on another thread:
