Jeffrey Lloyd, onetime executive chef at Michael Mina and Aqua, has enhanced the appeal of this jewel-box restaurant just off the Sonoma Square. His regularly changing menu features the best Sonoma products and always includes a risotto, pasta and a daily roast chicken with accompaniments such as caramelized onion jus with sour cream-fingerling potato cake. Owner Saul Gropman creates a welcoming front of the house, as he's done for the last 15 years. The beamed-ceiling interior is arranged on two levels overlooking a postage stamp-size bar and open kitchen; it's simple, but has a warm, inviting feel.

 
Specialties: Rosemary grilled prawns with Caesar tapenade; roast chicken with caramelized onion jus and sour cream potato cakes; smoked chipotle glazed pork chop; butterscotch pudding.
