boon eat + drink is a California bistro in Guerneville run by chef-proprietor Crista Luedtke, with Michelle Stipanov as sous chef and Andy Guy leading the beverage program. The kitchen builds its menu around seasonal, sustainably sourced ingredients, pouring only Russian River wines and microbrews from Sonoma and Mendocino counties.
The dinner menu moves between salads and shared plates — burrata, truffle fries, a mac-n-cheese with mycopia mushrooms and truffle breadcrumbs — and mains like harissa-spiced chicken, braised pork shoulder over creamy polenta, grilled flat iron steak, and a Niman Ranch burger with truffle fries on the side. Vegetarian and vegan options run throughout, including a spinach ricotta gnudi and a coconut Thai green curry bowl.
Regulars describe it as a small-town gathering spot with a cozy, intimate dining room and a reputation as a destination worth the drive to Guerneville.
