Farmhouse Restaurant has long been the cornerstone of our hotel. Fueled by ingredients straight from local farms and or very own Chalk Hill Culinary Gardens, our menus are ever-changing and rely exclusively on not only what is fresh and seasonal in Sonoma County.
Our service is friendly yet infinitely professional and sophisticated, carefully orchestrated down to the smallest detail. The wine program offers opportunities to experience not just the finest wines of the Sonoma and Napa wine country, but those most perfectly suited to complement the dining experience we strive to create.
The Restaurant at Farmhouse Inn takes guests on a tasting menu experience of terroir and intentionality. Join husband and wife team, Craig Wilmer and Amanda Hoang, on a culinary journey as they artfully blend heritage luxuries with carefully sourced local ingredients. The chef team searches far and wide, hunting down rare seeds for the farm, foraging the wilds of Sonoma and beyond; as well as working with our many outstanding local producers. The tasting menu at Farmhouse Inn creates a one-of-a-kind dining experience that meets at the intersection of hyper-locality, identity, and world class sourcing.

A combination of different influences in its purest and best sense does not create a hybrid or fusion. It transcends the sum of its parts and becomes something new.
Born and raised in the Bay Area, Craig began his culinary journey flipping burgers at a local country club. He went on to attend the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. After graduating with a bachelors in hospitality management and completing a concentration in farm-to-table practices, he went on a pilgrimage of sorts to France, Spain and Denmark to learn and visit his idols of gastronomy. After returning to the United States, he serendipitously found himself working through several notable restaurants such as Petit Crenn by Chef Dominique Crenn and COI by Daniel Paterson. There he met Erik Anderson, the executive chef. Craig would go on to serve as his CDC at several high profile restaurants in the Bay Area.
Now, over a decade since his culinary career began, Craig is putting forth his vision of haute cuisine. Leveraging his unique multi-cultural childhood and his encyclopedic knowledge of technique, Craig now utilizes all that he has learned, from the ancient to the most modern culinary techniques. He focuses on exploring the duality of pairing local wild and farmed ingredients with those of classic luxury.
It is his belief that great food should reflect not only a place and a moment in time but also the people preparing it. Furthermore, he treats every ingredient with intent and thoughtfulness, and abhors novelty for its own sake.
Amanda Hoang was born and raised in the Bay Area in Fremont, CA. After studying Clinical Nutrition at University of California, Davis, she ended up in quite the opposite direction. Chef Amanda was awarded a full scholarship from Women Chefs and Restaurateurs to attend Tante Marie’s Cooking School in San Francisco. Since graduating, she has worked over 10 years in the hospitality industry in celebrated kitchens around the Bay Area including 20th Century Café (San Francisco), Cyrus (Geyserville) and The French Laundry (Yountville). She has been at the helm of the pastry program at Bird Dog (Palo Alto) and Viridian (Oakland), where she was the opening chef. Her food focuses on local seasonality and classic technique with a penchant for showcasing fruit at its finest.
