The Drawing Board

The Cool spot that Petaluma needed: small plate format and great drinks. We sat at the bar and share 4 small dishes, all of which were tasty and well prepared. The standout, the chickpea fries.... a soft soft creamy consistency with a deep fried crisp on the outside. They look like little tofu blocks served with a slightly spicy aioli. The brussel sprouts were flash fried and tossed in chili oil (maybe?), very satisfying with a little chili bite. The deviled eggs were fresh, but not much of a wow factor. The heirloom tomato dish was another highlight. The burrata one some of the best I've had (pretty sure made in house). And the real topper were the drinks, my brother had the zero proof house made shrub which was refreshing and tasty enough to have two of FB them! And my cocktail was beautifully crafted with layered and nuanced flavorers.

I spent a wonderful anniversary evening with my wife here. Even though they have meat, there are lots of veggie options which was perfect for my vegetarian wife. The food was interesting and yummy. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. The whole place reminded me of some very popular SF restaurants but it was quiet and less pretentious. I highly recommend their house cocktails. I had 2. 😁
