Ode to Eloise


I just learned that the lovely Restaurant Eloise in Sebastopol closed on Nov 29. I only had the pleasure of dining there once for a family celebration. We were all smitten with every aspect -- it was so elegant and yet down to earth.

I regret not posting this delicious memory sooner. Here’s my ode to the lovely Eloise:


Perfectly spicy, marinated Monterey Bay sardines with diced avocado, scallion and black sesame.


These clams were a bowl of spicy deliciousness.


Pillowy, ricotta & Swiss chard gnocchi with sage brown butter that just melted in my mouth.


A refreshing escarole salad with walnuts, red onion and shaved pecorino.


To finish, a perfectly soft vanilla panna cotta with the sweetest strawberries and a sprinkling of candied orange peel.

Should the super-talented chef/owners, Eric Korsh & Genevra Iverson, open another place anywhere near as delightful as Eloise, I will be sure to hustle on over and report back tout de suite!

Thank you to everyone at Restaurant Eloise for the delectable food and fond memories.
