Restaurants near El Verano

“Great neighborhood spot with plenty of space and awesome live music! This place has fantastic character with walls covered in vintage concert posters and music memorabilia. The spacious back patio is perfect for hanging out, and there's a charming front porch for a more intimate vibe. They have pool tables, a popcorn machine, and best of all—a great stage with regular live music. The whole vibe is laid-back and eclectic. Definitely worth checking out!”

“Dinner at Enclos was phenomenal. The progression from small bites (the gougeres 🤤), to seafood (clam chowder chawanmushi!!), to savory (dehydrated carrot with the beef 💕), to desserts (tiny honey ice cream cones) was amazing. Service was great. Space is nice, especially the garden lounge.”

“The food was absolutely amazing. Service was great too”

“Exquisitos bocadillos.y atención de primera.”

“Great food and our server was wonderful”

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

“Wonderful food, great ambiance, and attentive service! If you can get a reservation here I highly recommend it. We had the Bacalhau no Forno, Caldeirada Portuguese Fisherman’s Stew, Feijoada, and Alcatra Portuguese Pot Roast. Every dish was amazing, and the dinner was our favorite for our time in Sonoma. They offer red and white wine flights, as well as port flights for after dinner. The desserts are tasty too.”

“Portions are just right. Great staff.”

“Excellent resturant would recommend highly and will be back again.”

“The falafel wrap was absolutely delicious.🤤”

“You must have champagne and caviar here, it's outstanding. We absolutely love the staff; they made it so welcoming and fun. Until next time... Regiis Ova Caviar”

“Chef John and his pairing creations are a highlight of Sonoma Wine County. Personally prepared and served by Chef John, paired with outstanding Mayo wines. A true pleasure all around. Sit inside for an elevated experience, outside for more casual. A wonderful way to spend an hour and a half!”

“Bouchon Bistro will forever hold a special place in our hearts. My wife and I have been coming here for over 12 years, and it’s not only one of our all-time favorite restaurants; it’s a must every time we visit Napa. We’ve celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, our engagement, and soon we’ll be back in December for our babymoon.

The food is consistently exceptional. The roast chicken is the best we’ve ever had, the steak frites is divine, and the salade lyonnaise is indulgent perfection. You simply have to end the evening with the profiteroles and crème brûlée; it’s non-negotiable.

But what truly sets Bouchon apart is the team. The staff goes above and beyond to make every visit special. Their hospitality is world-class, and it’s clear they take immense pride in what they do.

Thank you, Bouchon, for being such an enduring part of our lives and memories. We can’t wait to be back soon.”

“If you’re looking for the best Mexican food in the area, Tacos Garcia is the spot. I’ve eaten here multiple times, and the food never disappoints—fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying.
The al pastor nachos are a personal favorite. Perfectly seasoned meat, gooey cheese, and just the right amount of crunch—every bite hits. Their tacos are also excellent. I’ve had both the al pastor and the carnitas, and both were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Just a heads-up: they run spicy! Not overwhelmingly so, but if I had known ahead of time, I probably would’ve asked for a little crema on the side to balance things out.
I also tried a quesadilla, which was really tasty, but not served in the traditional handheld style I’m used to. It came cut into pieces, on a bed of lettuce with salsa—more of a plated dish than a grab-and-go option. Since I work in the vineyards, I usually prefer something easier to eat with my hands on the go. That said, the flavors were still on point.
One important tip: Tacos Garcia is cash only, so make sure you have some money on you before you go.
Overall, I really love the food here. It's flavorful, consistent, and made with care—hands down the best Mexican in this area.”

“Delightful owner and winemaker with tasty wine. We had a wonderful experience at Loxton Winery and you know you are learning from someone who loves his job and his relationships with the growers. We learned a great deal and would highly recommend!”

“I love this location. It was easy to locate and the staff is great. Everything was really fun when I went in with my kids so I was just so impressed with the overall atmosphere”

“Rick was very welcoming, great conversation and vibe. Small business connection, so relatable. Best of luck !”

“Ate there for the first time yesterday and can't wait to go back. We're vegetarian but had no trouble finding incredible offerings. The mushroom/leek risotto was the best I've had. The sweet corn tamale appetizers were surprising and flavorful, and the grilled avocado tostados fabulous! On beautiful grounds with fresh produce growing beside the restaurant. Staff was friendly and efficient. Just a great experience!”

“Eric was the best. Super friendly. Super informative. Best experience we have had”

“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!!”

“So great!!! The best EVERYTHING you’ve ever tried.”

“We always enjoy tasting at Ty Caton. Not only is the wine great but so are the staff. This time it was Harry who took care of us and he did a great job. We have been regulars here for at least 10 years.”

“A friend of mine recommend Cardinale and it did NOT disappoint! Brianne was a fantastic host and I felt like I could’ve sat there all afternoon chatting with her. The grounds were gorgeous and she was incredibly hospitable. Highly recommend visiting for great wine and amazing views!”

“Our host, Louie was very gracious, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He shared the regions history in a way that was both entertaining and informative. It gave me a greater understanding of what’s happening in the history of the great wineries and what’s happening now.

He was generous with his with his pouring and and sharing details about each of the wines we tasted.

The only suggestion I have Is they should put out a bit of Crackers to improve the qualities of the various tastings. It also would be better to wash the glasses between tasting the whites and going into the reds.”

“Delightful food large servings friendly service”

“Wine was absolutely good rich on flavor.everyone was very nice and I love their patio”

“This place is Top Tier Wine, the Best Wine Tasting Experience in Yountville but plan months ahead, because it’s so good that it gets booked well in advance”

“This is my go to wine shop when I’m looking for interesting and international wines. Linda is terrific and is always helpful in making recommendations.
Great wine bar and store!”

“My wife and I have been visiting and drinking Laurel Glen wines for years. Their Cabernet is absolutely fantastic. Likewise the tasting room space and experience, tucked in the tiny hamlet of Glen Ellen, is personal and relaxed, which tends to not be the case in many other tasting rooms in and around Napa. If you're a Cabernet drinker (or want to be), this is the right place.”

“My husband and I visited the Handwritten Tasting Room for the first time for a bread and butter experience. Amy was a most amazing hostess!! The knowledge she demonstrated was top notch and she made us feel very comfortable. The food was delicious and the wine spectacular! We joined the club and look forward to much more with Handwritten! Thank you!”
