Handline opened in 2016 along Gravenstein Highway in Sebastopol, built as much as a gathering place as a restaurant. The kitchen works directly with small local farmers and fishermen, turning out seasonal fare that draws on both Sonoma County's land and the freshness of the Sonoma Coast. Dining happens al fresco, set among native Californian landscaping, with an intentionally casual feel.
Regulars point to the fries and fresh oysters as standouts, and the patio setting and service keep the place feeling like an easygoing hangout rather than a formal sit-down spot.
