New American Restaurants near Boonville, CA

“Lauren's is our go-to when we're in town and hungry for a hearty home style meal. The ingredients are farm fresh (try any salad!) and all the recipes are scrumptious. There's a special every day if you can't find something to your liking on the menu (that is unlikely!). The staff is always friendly and helpful if you're looking for local scoop on things to do in Anderson Valley. If you're looking for a cocktail, Lauren's is the only place in the Valley with a full liquor license! The bar is often lively with locals and tourists enjoying the friendly vibe.“

“We have eaten here before and it was good. We came again for Easter dinner and, oh my goodness! There has been a staff change in the kitchen and it was a change for the better. Everything was so delicious and creative! We started with a quartet of deviled eggs that I thought was an interesting and cheeky nod to the holiday. Each one was different and beautiful. There was smoked salmon, caviar and I'm not sure what was on the other two but, they were delicious. We also had the Papas Bravas, and a stuffed artichoke that was so scrumptious I didn't want to share but, I did. For our main my husband and me both ordered the lamb shank. Mmmmmmmmmm! I arrived looking beautiful. I gave the shank bone a little tug and I slipped out with no resistance leaving the lamb retaining its shape. That's a good sign! The meat was soft and juicy. The potatoes underneath were velvety. The whole dish was so comforting and tasty. This was our favorite visit to Wickson. The whole place is run by women now and has such a joyful vibe. I think it makes for such a great experience when the kitchen and staff are happy. We felt so welcome and the food tasted like it was made by happy people who love what they do! The only thing that could make this visit to Wickson better was to get a room. Luckily we did! Thank you The Madrones and Wickson! We'll see you again soon!“
