What to Know Before You Go
Reservations are recommended at most top-rated spots, especially on weekends from March through November. If you're visiting the wine country area, many venues share two-lane access roads, so expect traffic on Saturday afternoons. Plan a route to minimize backtracking if you're visiting multiple locations. Check each business's website for current hours, as seasonal schedules are common. Pet-friendly and outdoor seating options are noted where available.
