Backyard

Backyard is a seasonal, sustainable restaurant nestled in the small town of Forestville, California. We draw our inspiration from Sonoma County, with all of its amazing bounties; orchards, farms, ranchers, foragers and fisherman. We are proud members of Sonoma County Farm Trails, Slow Food Russian River & we have received Bib Gourmand by Michelin Guide, three years in a row.
