Vallejo might not be the first place that springs to mind when you think elevated cuisine, but a seat at this Michael Warring's dining counter will have you feeling like you stepped into an episode of Chef's Table. The space itself is simple and intimate, furnished with a handful of tables and seven seats overlooking the kitchen, so book your spot well in advance.  It's a laid-back scene, where focus remains squarely on the food.  Your $200 gift certificate is paired with a bottle of Judd's Hill Prestidigitation and Buena Vista Cabernet Sauvignon.
