RAVE - Farmhouse Inn, Forestville

Taking advantage of the low holiday road traffic, and our equally low stash of fresh food at home, we trundled up to the Sonoma area for a stay at the uber-Luxe Farmhouse and their even uberer-Luxe restaurant.

The menu sounds straightforward, but that hides it's all around excellence. The dining room is elegant; the service impeccable. And the food is outstanding.

Mrs P had the crab crepe, scallops, elk, and cheese. I had the lobster, the gnocchi and truffles, the other half of that elk, and most of the Vosne Romanee.

What crowned the weekend was that it was all her ladyship's treat!
