Toast to summer with these foodie-friendly offerings.
Spoonbar Wine and Dine Wednesdays
Wednesday Wine Country excursions just got a little sweeter courtesy of Spoonbar. The Healdsburg h2hotel's chic and airy restaurant is celebrating summer with $29 prix fixe menus every Wednesday night. Each menu features seasonal and locally-sourced appetizers and rich entrees like roasted duck breast with blueberries, and is capped off with a sweet ice cream flight. Bonus points: you can drink the spoils of your day for no cost—although it boasts an extensive wine list, Spoonbar waives the corkage fee on Wednesdays for any liquid goodies you may have acquired during your travels. //219 Healdsburg Avenue, Healdsburg
Celebrate National Ceviche Day at Copita Tequileria y Comida and E&O Kitchen and Bar
Ceviche is the perfect summertime dish—the flavorful blend of raw fresh fish, citrus, and spices offers a refreshing and cool accompaniment to our not-so-blistering San Francisco summers. Two local restaurants are honoring National Ceviche Day (June 28) with their own spins on the classic Latin American offering: Sausalito's Copita Tequileria goes the more traditional route with their Ceviche Trio ($28), while E&O Kitchen and Bar offers a green curry and coconut flavored ceviche for an Asian take on the dish. Who said white fish was boring? //Copita Tequileria: 739 Bridgeway, Sausalito. E&O Kitchen and Bar: 314 Sutter St., SF
