Hazel

Hazel is a cozy restaurant tucked away in the serene town of Occidental, CA. Owned by Jim & Michele Wimborough, who bring over 15 years of culinary experience from reputable Bay Area kitchens, Hazel is a manifestation of their dream to create a community-centric dining space. The restaurant’s ethos revolves around using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients to craft delectable dishes and baked goods.

At Hazel, the heart of the kitchen lies in two wood-fired ovens that play a pivotal role in curating a dynamic menu. Jim’s culinary expertise shines through in his rustic, Mediterranean-inspired creations, cooked with precision over live fire. Complementing this, Michele’s passion for pastry translates into a delightful array of sweets, from fresh fruit shortcakes to decadent sundaes and an assortment of cookies and cakes.

The name “Hazel” pays homage to Jim's great grandmother, a culinary maven known for her warm hospitality. Inspired by her legacy, Jim and Michele extend a warm welcome to guests at Hazel, aiming to replicate the intimate and inviting atmosphere of a home kitchen. Nestled amidst the scenic beauty of Western Sonoma County, Hazel promises a dining experience steeped in tradition, flavor, and community spirit.
