The food at Nari, a modern Thai restaurant, is inspired by the cuisine of Thailand's past yet prepared with an eye toward the present. The term "woman" in Thai has its origins in Sanskrit, which is where our name, "Nari," comes from. A personal love letter to the women in her life who taught her how to cook and, more importantly, how to eat, Nari is our chef and owner Pim's tribute to generations of Thai women who laid the foundation for Thai cuisine. Nari was inspired by the women in her life who taught her how to cook and, more importantly, how to eat. In the intimate setting of our Suda private dining room, we can accommodate up to 24 people.

Furthermore, it is not only the exterior of the building that establishes the brand, but it is also the interior design that encourages diners to return. The interior design and decoration, which are inspired by Art Deco, are in the artistic style. With scenes like this, the already delectable food and beverages will be elevated to an even higher level of excellence. Tourists, locals, and anyone else who wants to be immersed in the glistening scenery of the city and the artistic atmosphere are drawn to the restaurant by its unique atmosphere. If you have the opportunity to visit San Francisco, you may find The View Lounge restaurant to be a wonderful place to enjoy your meal while taking in the beautiful views and excellent service.

Shin Dig Sonoma is a 2.5-acre private estate nestled in rural West Petaluma, in the heart of Sonoma County's wine country. Founded by Stephanie and Shlomo Franco — seasoned hospitality professionals who relocated from San Francisco in 2020 — the property was thoughtfully transformed over four years through extensive landscaping and construction: more than 70 trees were relocated, a new pool was built, and a 1,200-square-foot covered pavilion was added, surrounded by over 80 flourishing olive, citrus, fig, and fruit trees. The estate offers four distinct outdoor areas suited for weddings, milestone celebrations, and corporate retreats: an intimate olive grove, a spacious willow lawn adjacent to the pool, an open-air pool deck, and a modern-farmhouse pavilion with a full kitchen. Recent enhancements include a flourishing garden, ADA-accessible pathways, grand staircases, and a fire pit with Adirondack seating. Shin Dig Sonoma combines rustic, chic elegance with thoughtful hospitality, designed for events where guests feel welcomed, celebrated, and inspired against the backdrop of Sonoma's wine country.
