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 have been honored with receiving Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand, since 2012, as well as Slow Food Snail of Approval.  We are open Friday through Monday for lunch and dinner, and every Saturday & Sunday we serve brunch beginning at 9am.
