Rank 4. Glen Ellen Star
Californian New American
A cottage kitchen built around a wood-burning oven turns out inventive Californian cooking that belies its quaint appearance. Chef Ari Weiswasser builds a lean menu around biodynamic produce from nearby farms—charred vegetables with truffle-chili cashew crunch, whole roasted branzino, brick chicken—and finishes with house-made ice creams in unexpected flavors. Serious food, casually presented.

Rank 5. El Molino Central
Regional Mexican
A cramped counter-service setup feeds into a kitchen you walk through to reach the patio, where strangers become co-conspirators debating the day's specials. Red mole tamales, pozole verde, and beer-battered fish tacos arrive with the seasonal precision of someone who understands their ingredients. The noise, the color, the shuffle—it's all part of the ritual.

Rank 6. Cafe Reyes
Wood-Fired Pizza
Two wood-fired ovens turn out crusty pies named for local landmarks—the Farallon arrives layered with roasted garlic, crisp pepperoni, and melted mozzarella—in a barn-like room stacked high with seasoning wood. This Point Reyes Station fixture suits day-trippers and groups equally, its rusticity offering no pretense, only honest cooking.
-
Rank 7. Farmstead
Barbecue
A farmhouse with a smoking pit in the yard and country music inside, owned by Long Meadow Ranch and serving its own beef, produce, and honey in straightforward preparations—pulled pork and ribs alongside grilled artichokes with gribiche. The cathedral ceiling and terrace offer escape from typical Napa formality, though the dining room can run loud and convivial.
