Rank 29. Valette
Modern New American
Dustin Valette has returned to his family's former building with a dining room of concrete walls and sculptural lighting, where scallops disappear beneath squid-ink pastry and a server pours champagne beurre blanc tableside, and duck breast gets sharpened by tamarind over forbidden rice.

Wood-fired Pizza
A converted Wild West saloon in downtown Geyserville, Diavola fills nightly with crowds drawn to wood-fired pizzas—spicy meatballs and pine nuts one night, smoked pork belly and goat cheese the next.

Italian
Ciccio trades Yountville's polished newness for a wood-beamed 1916 grocery store where country curtains and a front porch transport you backward.

Rank 50. ad hoc + addendum
American
A bright wood-paneled room under a blue awning where Thomas Keller cooks the way he might at home: vibrant salads of green asparagus and beets, buttermilk fried chicken that tastes deceptively simple, dishes served family style with the care of someone who has thought about every detail.

-
Rank 51. North Block
New American
The dining room opens onto a hushed terrace where wine country light filters through, setting the mood for unhurried eating.

Rank 70. Madcap
Contemporary
Chef Ron Siegel's upscale dining room in San Anselmo trades pretension for precision across a prix fixe of small, carefully composed plates.

-
Rank 77. Pig in a Pickle
Barbecue
Damon Stainbrook's suburban barbecue counter takes sourcing seriously—each humanely raised cut traced on a chalkboard—and executes with equal conviction: pulled pork that dissolves on the tongue, brisket after eighteen hours of smoke, ribs with a precise dry rub. Even the mac-and-cheese arrives tended rather than tossed aside, its richness balanced by bite. Worth the drive.
-
Rank 78. Burmatown
Burmese
A bright-orange bungalow in Corte Madera serves authentic Burmese cooking that sidesteps fusion platitudes. Tea leaf salad arrives nutty and crunchy; potato samosas and egg noodles with barbecued pork and fried garlic sustain across seasons.
