Late News:

"Patrick Quillec, the soft-spoken and talented chef who has been at the French Garden Restaurant & Bistro since last year, is no longer at the Sebastopol eatery. His departure comes on the heels of ongoing praise for Quillec’s successful efforts to help owners Dan Smith and Joan Marler realize their vision of  a cuisine based on their extensive organic farm and orchard. In mid-July, Jeff Cox reviewed the restaurant, awarding three stars for food and overall, and concludes the column by saying “Chef Patrick Quillec is what French Garden has been waiting for.” You can read Jeff’s review here.
