Have had a couple different plates at this location and each one was exceptional. The flavors when it comes to drinks or food are unique and complex. Portions on plates are huge and I never leave feeling hungry. I highly recommend trying this place out and giving it a chance to impress your taste buds.

Great place to have dinner and listen to music. The night we went in the singer was singing Frank Sinatra music. Excellent voice...

The food was excellent. Could only eat 1/2 of it. Very large portions. Had plenty left over for linch the next day. My daughter had red wine which she loved. I had a watermelon margarita it was strong and lacked watermelon flavor, or the alcohol over powered the taste of the watermelon. I prefer a sweeter drink. (Only reason I gave 4 stars for food was because of drink) Food by it self would be 5 stars however drink was a 1 star.

The food was awful, the chicken was very dry and chewy and the beef was cooked pretty good but had zero flavor, I don’t think they even used salt and pepper

We chose the outdoor seating because it was a really nice day. I felt like the menu was a little slim but maybe it’s because we went during brunch time. The was good. In my opinion, they’re not too vegan friendly other than a salad or choosing from side dishes. All in all, it was a good experience.

Good god, try to order a drink and food mid day around here! We’re here an hour and a half yet sat another twenty minutes to pay. Our money is best spent elsewhere

Food always delish as usual, had a table of 8 however service was not so good unfortunately one of our guests didn't get his dinner with the rest of us he chose the fried chicken when we placed order but didn't find out till 20-30 mins later that there was none left, of course he ordered something else which still took 15-20 mins to get to table, also was only approached 1x to refill waters we were there for 2 hours also to refill drinks and unfortunately when we received our check they still charged us for the chicken plate and when it was taken off the bill it didn't make sense. So again we love the food and atmosphere just wasn't happy with service.

Sonder delivers on every level. I came here for brunch with colleagues, and between the welcoming service and health-conscious menu, it impressed us all.

The food is as flavorful as it is beautifully plated — from crisp, fresh salads and vibrant bowls to shareable bites like fried tofu and buffalo cauliflower. Even the cocktails are crafted with care and balance.

The atmosphere ties it all together: modern, inviting, and detailed with touches like their glowing “Good Choices” wall that make the space memorable.

With accommodating hospitality, creative dishes, and a vibe that feels both relaxed and refined, Sonder has earned a place on my return list. Highly recommended.

Beautiful establishment, food is really good,atmosphere is perfect 👌🏿. The service was kinda trash idk if Sunday had to do anything with it. But I made reservations online and still had to wait 25 extra minutes due to the young ladies they had at check-in. Neither of them greeted incoming customers nor did they ask has anyone been seen or checked in. Literally had to flag down an employee to let them know I had reservations &still someone failed to update the reservation list 🤦🏿‍♂️ other than that little hiccup the place is a hidden GEM 💎

Made a reservation online for 9pm and when we arrived, waiter told us that the kitchen was closed.
I told the waiter to stop their online service if they couldn’t honor it.

A++. Food and drinks were delicious. Bourbon and berries cocktail was probably the best I've ever had. Jake was server and bartender. Nothing but great things to say about the entire experience. Wish there was a Sounder close to Riverside, CA.

The food was divine and the drinks were amazing! Everything the service, the food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the staff, and even the owner was on a whole different level. Simply outstanding!

Place is great. Wait staff fantastic..The only disappointment was their burgers. Soggy sitting in juices . Ordered well done to try n escape this. Not happening. Served on a platter which is dripping all over table. Messy AF. Sent both of em back. Mimosas great! French dip perfect. I bet Dinner service n food is spot on. Def gotta go on a weekday n not just Sunday Brunch.
