Unexpectedly urban for Guerneville, this storefront raw bar is an offshoot of San Fran-
cisco's Bar Crudo - one of the city's best - and showcases oysters, clams, lobster, and ex-
quisitely prepared raw-fish dishes. There's limited hot food, but it's overwrought: stick to
raw.

By day a vintage-1940s coffee shop, by night a Korean-American diner with full bar, Dick
Blomster's serves playfully tongue-in-cheek dishes, including fried PB&J sandwiches and
'the other KFC - Korean fried crack' - fried-chicken with sugary-sweet brown sauce,
which sure hits the spot after a night's drinking.
