Outstanding in the Field
(Final U.S. Event)
Saturday, November 2 at Richardson Ranch
Stewart’s Point, Sonoma County
If you’ve been missing our refined rustic cuisine, we have an “outstanding” event for you ~ the renowned farm-to-table “roving restaurant,” Outstanding in the Field, will close its season this November at Richardson Ranch in Sonoma County. A family-owned timber and cattle ranch, the Falk family stewards this land with care and reverence for long-standing traditions. Guests will tour the property’s historic hotel and timber barns, then gather at the long table set on craggy bluffs above crashing waves to enjoy a phenomenal feast inspired by the ranch and its breathtaking setting.
Join our email list for details about these and other events.

It was a difficult decision, but we closed our restaurant permanently in May 2023. We are taking some time to envision the many possibilities for what comes next. We do occasional pop-ups—stay in the know by joining our email list.
