In October the 2012 Michelin Guide San Francisco, Bay Area & Wine Country announced its choices for the best restaurants in the Bay Area. Six of them are located in Sonoma County, one of them earning a star for the first time.
The Michelin Star is a coveted award for fine dining quality and has long been considered among the most prestigious culinary accolades. Michelin awards 0 to 3 stars based on the inspections of anonymous reviewers. The reviewers concentrate on the quality, mastery of technique, personality and consistency of the food.
Terrapin Creek restaurant in Bodega Bay is a newcomer on the Sonoma County list. Chef and owners Liya Lin and Andrew Truong were thrilled to be honored with a Michelin Star and proud of their small staff.
Cyrus Restaurant in Healdsburg holds two stars, the most in Sonoma County.
