Yummy....there are a few places like this in Sonoma also that I love to hit when I'm up there. I am also noticing that the "open kitchens" are a new trend, I like that, but I have to believe it annoys the chefs.
It sounds amazing, not just the food but the whole experience. How fun would that be to be able to get up and walk through the restaurant? I'm naturally very curious about everything so I would love that and probably annoy the crap out of the staff w/ my bazillion questions.
Hey Joan: You'd think we'd need to walk but it's raining. And my husband is making waffles for breakfast.
Hi Karen: I don't think the chefs are annoyed. I think they welcome the opportunity to interact.
Hi Colleen: My sister had a ton of questions. She was still asking questions after dessert as we tried to drag her reluctantly toward the door. It was after 11 PM, and waaaayyy past my bedtime.
Wow, Elizabeth, I wish i was there with you to enjoy the feast!

The atmosphere in this restaurant does not sound anything like I would imagine. I love the idea of being encourage to get up and wake around...even into the kitchen. Very cool.
What a fantastic menu, many things I have never tried and it all sounds delicious! I think you had 2 Thanksgiving Feasts this year :-)
I'm not a big fan of the 7-course meal and I have tried the (supposedly best) at restaurants like The French Laundry and The Restaurant at Medowwoods. However, the open kitchen concept and the chef that is willing to make changes to accommodate his guest does sound like a great reason to try The Kitchen Restaurant the next time I am in your area.
Oh...man...I am glad I subscribed to your blog as I enjoy a variety of subjects in posts. I am also a fan of tasty eating in ALL price ranges, ethnicity's and flavors and now I am hungry!
Every once in a while you make me so sad I don't live nearer to a city. First of all the quarterly event sounds to die for and secondly so does the meal. Alas as my mouth waters I'm getting ready to go home and heat the left overs (again.)
Elizabeth, that sounds extraordinary! I would need to walk off all that food for the next week, without stopping!
