Each course will be paired with w**es from Ryme Cellars, beginning with a welcome aperitivo.

Join us for a little taste of Italy on the Russian River. Tickets are limited. Link to buy in the bio.

Dinner at Boon is unfussy, seasonal and built around what’s good right now in Sonoma County. Good ingredients, a hot pan, a little w**e and the occasional dramatic flare-up.

The days are still warm, but the evenings along the river have a bit of a chill. Perfect weather for a little comfort food and a glass of red w**e.

The polenta lasagna hits the mark. Mixed vegetables, rainbow chard and a spicy marinara — warm, hearty and just right for these early fall evenings.

No reservation needed

Looking forward to seeing you this weekend.

A few seasonal updates have landed on the menu:

Roasted cauliflower with whipped tahini, sumac-pickled shallots + crispy chickpeas.

Local halibut crudo with summer stone fruit, shaved fennel, preserved lemon vinaigrette + dried black olive.

Halibut with Thai green curry, blistered tomatoes, fingerlings, seasonal vegetables + herb trinity.

And the Summer Nudes — spinach ricotta gnudi with blistered tomato, corn, pesto + brown butter crumble.

Summer is still very much on the menu at boon eat + drink.

Some w**es just seem made for this time of year.

The 2025 Aperture Chenin Blanc is bright, fresh, and layered with citrus, white peach, and a subtle richness that keeps you coming back for another sip. It has the kind of balance that makes it just as enjoyable on its own as it is alongside seafood, vegetables, or whatever you’ve ordered for the table.

We’re happy to be pouring this one at Boon.

Extremely fresh and very delicious. Our local halibut crudo with summer stone fruit, shaved fennel, preserved lemon vinaigrette, and dried black olive, with the Mexican street corn salad making a cameo in the background.

We suggest pairing it with the 2025 Trousseau Gris from Jolie-Laide—bright, floral, and made for summer.

Summer has a way of bringing us back to the things that matter most.

For Chef Crista, that journey stretches from Midwest lakes and long afternoons outside to the Russian River and the community she’s found here in Guerneville. It’s the inspiration behind her latest essay, Chasing Summer.

Stop by Boon Eat + Drink this season and enjoy the flavors that make summer in West County worth lingering over.
