I agree with this reviewer, it's a fun place to visit, there are a couple of little art galleries and stores in town as well. Great bird houses sold out of the back of a truck for example. The restaurant is located in an old hotel in Valley Ford and the ambiance is simple and pleasant. There is a lively bar in the front room. The food is good, and great appetizers to go with a drink too. Wed night $1. oysters in the half shell.

Cafe Aquatica is located north on the coast, at Jenner. An aquarian hang out, lovely views of the Russian River mouth to the sea along with fresh delicious organic sandwiches, salads, soups and coffee drinks.
