The Farmer's Wife - Sebastopol

The patty melt had to be one of the best patty melts I’ve ever had. Although it was extremely messy and fell apart pretty easily. I’m not sure how you would avoid that. The salad was great and fresh as well. The outdoor seating is nice although it’s shared with a handful of other restaurants so you feel more like you’re sitting in a park than at a restaurant.

The BEST Vegan Club. Reason alone to come to the Barlow, or try the new Pt. Reyes Station location. Amy said the Patty Melt was delicious, I wouldn’t know. I can tell you the Truffle Fries are crispy and well salted, you will love them.

This place is pretty neat. Prices are quite high, but the food is absolutely phenomenal. And there is a vegan option, and is enough to feed a village.

Bro. Eat. Here. Seriously, so good. Complex and subtle flavors in every bite. Good portions, too!

I am a long time fan of tuna melts, and over the decades have sampled them, with their geographic and cultural variations and permutations, literally from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts. But, NEVER, did I believe that this venerable lunch staple could be rocked like it was at The Farmer's Wife. Spouse and I were part of a group cycling through Napa and Sonoma Valleys...needed a lunch tasty and healthy, but not too filling....enter the tuna melt!! Albacore, proper mayo, red onion, pickles, cheddar, pepper relish, chips, on whole grain bread (and a side salad). My words may leave room for doubt, but should you find yourself in Sebastopol near lunchtime, drop in, and resolve any uncertainties for yourself.
