Zagat – Santé 2013 Review: “This is a class act” affirm admirers of this Sonoma stalwart, which ups the ante with “amazing” but “nonfussy” Cal-French cuisine “prepared with real dedication” and paired with some 600 “excellent” vinos (“try the tasting menu for the full range of flavors”); “polite” service suits the “exclusive atmosphere” . . . it’s “definitely” an occasion to “splurge and enjoy”.
