GG's Earth and Surf opening Monday

Like a lot of locals, I'm curious about GG's Earth and Surf, set to open in Santa Rosa tomorrow.

The new restaurant features all organic produce and seafood from farms within a 150 mile radius, as well as local, organic wines (20 of the wines are under $25 a bottle) and spirits. Granted, it's not 100 percent local--there are some ingredients that are simply just not made or grown around here. But, the restaurant is buying about 85 percent of their items from the area. Not only does their localvore philosophy help area farmers and reduce the carbon footprint, but GG's might also turn out to be a be a very cool place to take out-of-town visitors to show off our local bounty.

I'll write more after I eat there. Or, if you beat me to it, email me at santarosa.guide@about.com and let me know what you thought of it.
