K L Bistro - Sebastopol

It was the time that crews change so it was a long time before the waiting staff went to our table. except that it was a good experience in my favorite restaurant. for me anyway, if not good for my vegan/gluten free husband, although I told them about him two weeks in advance about open tables.

We had a very nice Valentine's Day lunch. The sauce on the BBQ brisket sandwich was a little spicy, but the fries were great and the mushroom soup was too. The smoked trout salad was excellent and the ahi tuna tartare was very fresh, but a little bit bland. Non-alcoholic drinks are excellent. Service was friendly and very good.

The menu is not overly extensive, but doesn't need to be. I ordered the signature dish, chicken piccata, and my friend ordered the butternut squash ravioli. Each was delicious in its own right. I couldn't stop eating the kale salad accompaniment, simply prepared but a wonderful contrast to the piccata sauce, the tender chicken liberally topped with canapes. The ravioli was so flavorful, accentuated by the chanterelle mushrooms. The house wines are very good and a bargain; the wine list is quite varied and more than adequate. I had a glass of excellent French Sancerre. We split the dessert, a creatively prepared lemon tart accompanied by halved kumquats plated on a thin slab of slate. Perfect! They have a separate bar menu with small bites and a burger, and they have a new late-night happy hour with $1.50 oysters and full bar, should you have the urge. I would go here again in a heartbeat.

One of the best Happy Hours around. Oysters for $1.50 each and cocktails for $5.00. We went on Super Bowl Sunday and the restaurant was empty even with two tv's going at the bar. Food is very good.

We had a wonderful dinner . Service is impeccable. Food was delicious and the ambiance was just perfect. Will probably be one of our regular restaurants from now on
