More about Sequoia Diner

Andrew Vennari opened the diner with Sequoia Broderson, his wife at the time. The room has wood booths and swivel stools along the counter, and braised beef hash is a regular order. In early 2026 Vennari sold the restaurant to the partners behind Solano Junction in Albany and Fandee's in Sebastopol, who planned to keep the name, the recipes and as much of the staff as possible.
