  • Radio-Coteau at The Progress

    Jun 26, 2025 only
    The Progress will be hosting the team from Radio-Coteau, offering their handcrafted wines alongside our à la carte menu. Participation is not required. Radio-Coteau, established by Eric Sussman in 2002, focuses on the north coast vineyards of western Sonoma County and Anderson Valley. With their benchland locations, well-drained soils, and exposure to capricious marine air and fog, these sites host grapes naturally suited to their surrounding elements, affording Eric an opportunity to refine his Old World experiences while working with New World grapes. For more than two decades, he and the winegrowing team at Radio-Coteau have strived to balance nature's expression with a delicate but disciplined human touch. The winery has been Demeter Certified Biodynamic® since 2008, a reflection of our commitment to crafting wines of origin utilizing low-intervention winemaking practices.

    The Progress offers a phenomenal dining experience. The room is warm and inviting and feels lively without being loud. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about menu offerings and so clearly love and appreciate the artistry of each recipe. The craft of Chef is undeniable, with menu offerings being inclusive of vibrant and unique flavor profiles while still maintaining approachability. Highly recommend a meal with The Progress.

    The best duck the five of us have ever had. The halibut crudo and seaweed noodles with the beans also were standout favorites…but everything was really incredible. Expensive but worth every penny and we look forward to next time!

    We were fortunate enough to have the upstairs seating in an almost private setting. It definitely made the experience so special as we were celebrating a graduation and birthday. Our host was amazing with just the right amount of communication and wonderful suggestions. And of course the food and drinks....incredible flavors and so creative. All and all our best visit as we have now been there 3 times.

    The trout was the best I've ever had! We enjoyed the pace of food delivery, the shared bites, the variety of the menu and the vibe. Hope to see you again when we visit
