I haven’t been to France (yet), but I know where I can go to feel like I’m there. Well, I might have to close my eyes and pretend everyone’s speaking French—but I’m thinking the flavors are right on the mark. Bistro 29’s chef, Brian Anderson (who worked at the much-missed Café Lolo, which occupied the same space years ago), has created a venue and menu styled after that of the Breton region in Northwest France, right down to the crêpes.

Everything about Fork is sleek. From its modern interior design to how each plate looks (like a piece of art), this place is polished. Since opening the restaurant in 2001, owners Charles Low and Oliver Knill have focused on bringing diners high-quality, fresh and exciting food. Chef Nathan Lockwood uses only local, seasonal produce in his often-changing menu, which is set up with three-, four- or five-course options.

West County Grill has a little something for everyone. And I’m not just talking about the food. Let’s start with seating. There’s the dining room with polished wood furniture, brick walls, open-beamed ceilings and windows along the front. There are also bar stools along a counter perched against the open kitchen, where diners can watch everything that’s happening. Further to the rear is a bar area; step beyond that, and you’re alongside Sebastopol’s square, on a small, covered patio with a handful of tables. The way the place is designed allows an intimate feeling regardless of mood or location. The ownership and management team of Stephen Singer, Jonathan Waxman, Mike Hale and chef Darren McRonald have created a place that’s both aesthetically and gastronomically pleasing
