In light of an unsubstantiated rumor that Molly Ringwald’s favorite local restaurant is Range, it’s time we noted that Valencia’s only Michelin star (true?) has been consistently making great and varied cocktails since long before you moved here from Santa Rosa and started bitching about how yuppies are ruining the neighborhood. The Gold Spike is my current favorite, which combines a good amount of tequila, several dashes of bitters (housemade, of course,) and Cynar, Italy’s premier artichoke liqueur. I usually try to sneak in between 6 and 7 and get one of the ten or so seats at the bar before the dinner crowd floods in.

Who moves here from Santa Rosa?
Range does not currently hold a Michelin Star. They lost it in 2011.
the rumor came from an interview with the Chronicle.

I would rather move here from Santa Rosa than some place like Fremont! Not to mention Michigan, Ohio, the entire Midwest, the south, east coast, and LA! You wannabes.

People surely can choose where they’re born
too soon?
Range hasn’t been around THAT long (<7 years) and was one of the first signs that Valencia was going to undergo a 2nd round of gentrification (the phase involving yuppies that occurs after broke artists and students settle in). I hated on it then and I hate on it still.
