50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Sonoma

“Gabe was absolutely amazing! He made our whole experience at the restaurant feel special from the moment we sat down. He was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and wine selections. We’re going to come again to request him!🥰“

“Excellent food, atmosphere and great place to eat before wine tasting! ❤️“

“The falafel wrap was absolutely delicious.🤤“

“We had an amazing experience yesterday and loved several of the varietals! Wonderful and knowledgeable hostess and comfy tasting room. Will definitely make this stop#1 time and time again when we return to Sonoma. Oh yea, our dog gives it 4 paws up too!“

“This restaurant is not anything like how it publicized itself! It is not Latin American. It is plain, run of the mill hotel food. Fine for hotel stayers convenience but not at all up to standard for the Sonoma restaurant options. We are locals and feel like we were lured here by the publicity and the expectation of trying tastes we don't normally run into. The one good thing is that the prices are extremely reasonable for Northern California.“

“Down to earth setting, casual and relaxing allowing for a great place to sit, enjoy wine and have a conversation. The Merlot is by far my favorite. As it has plenty of character, and an amazing finish.“

“The best winery in California! I would like to thank Don for making the visit spectacular he went out the way to greet us and he was so friendly. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to taste wine and check out the founder and history of wine in the US it’s very intresting.“

“They have the best coffee and treats! Highly recommend.“

“Our favourite stop on our Sonoma wine tour! Jesse was pouring for us, and he was such a fantastic host. Friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience so much fun. We absolutely loved all the bubbles, and every wine we tried was incredible. Walt Wines is a must-visit! I highly recommend stopping in for a tasting, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Another winery recommended we visit this winery in Sonoma because of it's story, culture, and quality. Six of us did and it did not dissappoint. Jimmy did a wonderful job of sharing the family history, as well as the history of the winery. He also recommended great wines for us to sample and consider for purchase. I'm glad we availed ourselves to learning about how our Mexican brothers worked the fields, learned the business and became and expert, purchased land, started his on winery, and served two U.S. Presidents (Obama and Bush) and the California Gov (Swarzenegger). Oh, the wine is GREAT!“

“We had such a fantastic experience tasting at Winery Sixteen 600. We had a reservation but walked in hours earlier given the weather and they were happy to accommodate us. It was personable, engaging, relaxed, and we enjoyed every single thing we tried. We appreciated Brian’s willingness to spend time talking about all things wine and life with us and not feeling rushed at all. We really enjoyed the custom tasting journey we got to go on and we left with more wine to enjoy back home. Highly recommend!“

“We visited Anaba in October and the tasting room was filled with pumpkins, gourds and beautiful fall colors. I did the tasting of their Pinot Noirs and what a delightful experience. It was such a lovely and relaxing experience. I had time to taste and contrast the 5 Pinots in my flight. I ordered 6 bottles and I am sure I will order more. Thanks Anaba for such a fun time.“

“Schug Winery was our favorite. Made a reservation for the wine tasting in their cave. It was awesome walking into the cave which opens to a chandelier room very elegant with a great table. Various wines were poured and tasted. Exceptional wines at this winery. We bought a case. I highly recommend this winery for the tour and the wine!“

“Steuart's bagels are the bomb“

“Kiv is a total find. The front looks a little rough when you pull up…then you step through and it opens into this unexpected backyard oasis. Big shade umbrellas, fire pits, quiet corners — the kind of spot you settle into for hours.

The wines are fantastic and very reasonably priced. Father’s Watch (pictured) might be one of the best blends anywhere — balanced, silky, and way better than its price point suggests. They’re also working with some rare and hard-to-find varietals, which makes each flight feel different than the usual Sonoma lineup.

The chicken and ricotta bites? Absolute knockout. One of those dishes you order “just to try” and immediately wish you’d doubled.

Service is relaxed but sharp, the atmosphere is great, and there’s a wonderful restaurant next door. Location is solid, but you could easily drive past the humble storefront — don’t.

A+ winery. Total gem.“

“Yum! Better than Starbucks!“

“Came from Maine to visit family. Ate this breakfast alone. Staff was attentive and friendly. Hash browns had a Tblsp. of chopped raw onion and peppers added, which really elevated this homely dish quite nicely. Very happy with the breakfast at a reasonable price.“

“We had a wonderful lunch with a delicious wine recommended by the owner. We all thoroughly enjoyed our selections and the appetizers beforehand. Desserts were delicious, and we enjoyed wonderful classic cocktails at the bar to complete our experience. Highly recommend The Swiss!“

“Sheana & Ben are simply amazing. First thing when they greet you at the door is with a refreshing beverage. This has been one of the best adventures we have done in Sonoma. We learned how to make ricotta and butter ! Sheana & Ben were so polite and personable. If you’re ever in Sonoma, this is a must do!“

“really good.. very friendly“

“If you want great food, go to Sonoma Eats Real Mexican. Everything is delicious, the service is excellent and friendly. I haven’t missed a week in years.“

“This is our favorite spot in Sonoma. We live on the east coast and visit every fall. Of course we are part of the wine club! Not only is their wine fantastic but they also go above and beyond in showing hospitality. It’s special here. This is a small, family run winery. Deepak (owner, winemaker) is always there to say hello and chat and makes you feel so welcome. On this most recent trip, our friends who were also visiting CA joined us for a first time visit to Nicholson Ranch, and Jessi knocked it out of the park. She provided a lovely educational tasting experience and cave tour which included both Nicholson and Gulrajani wines, followed by some ‘heavy snacks’ (try the burrata with pistachio, it was amazing) … oh… and a lot of laughs. A great time was had by all. We will always come back.“

“Amazing breakfast! I highly recommend the French toast and chilaquiles“

“The owner, Chris, is incredibly knowledgeable and always fun to talk to. Last week was my third tasting there and each time the service and wines have been excellent! Highly recommend!“

“I had a wonderful afternoon here. I didn't know what to taste, so I was guided by Kim who was so helpful and gave me a great tasting experience! The courtyard is beautiful with olive and lemon trees, just lovely. I highly recommend this winery experience!“

“Great simple place to drink - eat - and talk with neighbors! Check it out!“

“My sweetie and I stopped by for the yummy wine and the overall lovely views! We were not disappointed!“

“Small and cute cafe with limited menu. The high point is the bacon!!! Maybe the best I've ever had. I will intentionally stop by when randomly in the area wine tasting. The brioche donut is also a yummy highlight with Nutella or raspberry filling. Do yourself a favor and get the Nutella and then a side of raspberry jam to dip it in!!!!“

“Great place to visit Great wine and food ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“really good and tasty food, live music on Saturday night, vegan friendly ❤️“

“The most beautifully presented and tasty agedashi tofu I have ever had! The tempura udon was very tasty with an excellent dashi but would have been nicer with more than one tempura prawn. The restaurant smelled a little too fishy as if it hadn't had a deep clean lately. However the service was so beautiful, gracious and efficient and the room had such gentle acoustics that we both had a lovely lunch.“

“Really nice place , good food“

“Went to an event here and got to meet the brewers and beer tenders and it was an amazing experience rounded out by delicious beer. The friendly staff will lead you to their great selections based on the style of beer you like. A fun crew and great beer! Visit Sonoma Springs Brewing soon if you haven't had a chance!! Also excited to find them at our local supermarkets in Santa Rosa!!“

“Great food,great service and unbeatable prices. Every item on the menu is a five star. Good selection of wines and cocktails.“

“I liked foods here that I don’t like normally at all. The servers are friendly and accommodating to everything we asked for.“

“I’m so glad we found Delicious Dish! It’s a hidden-in-plain-sight gem. We’ve yet to order something that wasn’t great, the soft serve ice cream is divine, and they have my favorite iced yerba mates in the drink case. The patio overlooks a beautiful field. Don’t sleep on the to go dinners! The whole place has a welcoming indie feeling.“

“Being a local to Sonoma options are vast but our go to place is Lou’s. We go often and it always hits the spot. We’ve tried most of the menu and can’t be disappointed with any dishes.

My favorite menu item would be the Nashville chicken hot. It has great flavor and the chicken is always juicy! A side of crinkle fries and cold Coke😎.

Service is great being greeted at the door and spending time outside enjoying food.

The goats are a plus“

“Best tacos in Sonoma county! My personal favorite is ordering chicken tacos with al pastor salsa, but you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. They are doing everything right in their kitchen. I recommend checking their instagram to see where they’ll be at for the week. And don’t forget the potatoes and onions!“

“Our favorite stop out of 5 days in Sonoma/Napa! We enjoyed the wine here more than any of the high dollar, fancy vineyards we visited!

Great wines, great setting, and a very friendly host!

Personal favorites were the 2021 Merlot from Pickberry Vyd and the 2019 Cab Sav, but it’s a hard pick because everything was fantastic.“

“Delicious food, great for taking photos and relaxing, relaxed atmosphere“

“The wine doesn't taste good.
Probably because of European Italian wine, the taste is very bland, without layers, and very dry.
Except for the first glass of sparkling rose, which was okay, the rest of the red was not good.“

“I stopped at Bloom Carneros for lunch while my guests were out wine tasting, and it turned out to be a great find. I ordered the baby back ribs and overall the meal was very good. The kung pao sauce leaned a bit on the familiar side flavor-wise, but still paired nicely with the dish. The fries were extra crispy, which if that is your thing (and it definitely is mine), you will love them.

The staff was warm and friendly, and the whole spot has an interesting, almost hidden feel. It is the kind of place you might only know about if you are local or if someone told you to exit off Sonoma Highway. The outdoor area has a relaxed picnic-style vibe that really makes it stand out.

I look forward to stopping here again in the future and trying more of their menu.“

“Delicious food with a comfortable neighborhood vibe.“

“Tom Was amazing! This was our first tasting on our first day in Sonoma and he made sure we were taken care of. He was also helpful with dining in the area. The outside patio was a great casual vibe and I would definitely recommend this place for any wine enthusiast!“

“I cannot believe I have lived in Sonoma for 2 years and just discovered this outstanding vodka distillery! 5 minutes from town will get you the best tasting, 64(!) calorie vodka you will ever have! All organic, non-gmo, gluten free and made from grapes. What???! They are tucked away in a super hip and gorgeous property with 5 or 6 wineries.
We tried the vodka flight and the 3 cocktail flight. Every one of them was special. We bought 5. Don’t miss any and be sure to try the espresso. Wii be back with friends! 10 stars!!!“

“We did a Groupon for the Sampler Tasting at Roger Roessler Wines while we were in the Sonoma/Napa area. Aaron and I had a great time. Ethan was the gentleman that did our tasting. He made it such a great experience. In fact, Aaron told him I usually don’t buy wine at tastings and I ended up buying 6 bottles. If you are in the area, Groupon or not, please reserve your wine tasting here, you won’t be disappointed.“

“My son is lived in Sonoma for the last six years, but just this last year we discovered Tacos Costa. Absolutely love the quesa tacos. When he has the nachos, you absolutely can’t go wrong with chicken nachos, but he does them as a special so keep your eyes peeled. All of the staff is extremely friendly and very personable and if medical marijuana is your thing sparc is right next door. He is closed on Mondays and I think Tuesdays so you wanna pay attention to what day of the week it is when you have a taco craving.“

“Delicious Mothers Day Brunch!“

“My husband and I loved our tasting with Katy. She truly is a master vintner. Thank you for a memorable afternoon!!“

“I can’t express how much I loved eating here. The food was amazing and our server was excellent, especially as we wanted a more family style dining and they were more than accommodating. The honey vanilla crème brûlée was some of the best I’ve ever had. I’m going to be dreaming about that dessert.“
