Good isn’t fancy but fine.Worth a try! Jack was anSonoma icon.
Good to Reader’s Books on East Spain St, they have PLENTY of Jack!“

“great friendly staff good drinks and good people“

“We’ll grounded fairways and greens. Nice restaurant and bar. Very nice Pro Shop and thank you for having some really nice items for women!!!“

“I would recommend the Nashville Hot Fried Chicken sandwich at this specific location, as it is the best when compared with their two other locations. Owner and staff are very friendly, service is quick, every food we have had is delicious, and the place is nostalgic. There are local bands that play music there on certain dates.“

“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!“

“Nice space off the Fairmont lobby with a bar and a small food menu. The grilled maitake mushrooms are the star here. I do think the chef at Sante (adjacent, in the hotel) has a slight edge on the sauce with more flavorful herbs. The wild rice is cooked to perfection.
We also got the fried Brussels sprouts which was tasty. The vegan version of the Caesar salad (adapted on request) was uninspired and flavorless, esp considering the possibilities with so much fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds available locally. They should look at better salad recipes, that’s the one thing we usually get easily and feel satisfied with as vegans. Service staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I’d rather order the maitake dish and other sides from the menu at Sante but we didn’t have a choice this time.“

“an excellent place to have a good wine or a cold beer. Nice place.“

“My family and I have been going to Brixx since we moved to Petaluma when my daughter was born 14 years ago. We have always loved their food, ambiance and local family service. Considering how busy they are I usually call ahead and ask for the corner table in the back and they always seem to come through. Tonight my daughter and her friend had their Taekwondo mid term testing for their 2nd degree black belt test. I knew they would be starving afterward and knew Brixx would be the perfect place to reward them afterwards. It was on a Friday so I figured they would be busy. I called and Noel the owner answered and said they were slammed until at least 8:15. We were hoping to get the girls fed a bit earlier so I thanked him for checking and was happy they were busy. 5 minutes later he calls me back and said he could get us a 4 top table at 7:30 but probably not the corner booth which I was super happy about. When we got there they were packed but had a reserved sign for us on the corner booth! Brixx is an awesome, local family owned business that have great food, cozy ambiance and every time we have been there the owners are there bartending, waiting tables, running food or whatever they need to do to run a good business. This place is a Petaluma Gem and I feel bad I am just now giving them a 5 star review. Thank you Noel and his wonderful wife and staff for your hard work.“

“Everything was fabulous! So excited that Luma is open!“

“Great time with Wes and Sam. Just stopped in from Mn on vacation and were welcomed by many locals. This place is a classic and is a must stop“

“Can not say how much we loved the bartender! He was so welcoming and funny. We had delicious fish and chips, they have tartar or cocktail sauce or malt vinegar. Perfection! Very chill vibe in the meticulously clean bar and really nice TVs to watch any game. Thanks so much!“

“Beautiful property. Very nice suite rooms. Recommend this hotel for a visit in Sonoma.“

“Great Sandwich, had the Brooklyn Bridge it was delicious“

“The food and service were good. Not amazing but decent. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the food was good. Have i had better, yes but was it good enough to go back again, sure. The drinks were good except I specifically requested a margarita on the rocks no salt and it came with salt and it was very light on the tequila. It definitely should have been a little stronger. The restaurant is nicely decorated with the beautiful metal star lamps hanging all over the restaurant giving this warm welcoming glow that is very inviting.“

“Was a great venue to play at“

“This place was the most amazing surprise find. The pizza was the best I have had in a long time. The crust was light and crispy. The sauce was perfect. My son had the chicken parm, which was delicious. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, and our server a gem. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area.“

“Grab a seat at the bar and enjoy some of the friendliest bartenders in all of Petaluma (especially Cat)! The entire staff is wonderfully laid back, genuine and truly happy to be there, which makes us very happy to be there as well!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We fully enjoyed the entire happy hour menu at the bar. Everything on it was wonderful and the fried chicken was delicious 👨🏻‍🍳💋We will definitely come back for dinner…compliments to Marco at the bar as well. He was attentive and engaging and a pleasure to have as our first point of contact. The company, and Marco’s attentiveness has us planning on a return visit for dinner soon!“

“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.“

“Best Camarones rancheros ever so full of flavor!“

“Great food and service. Will go back !“

“A watering hole for the locals, it's a charming place with a jukebox to select your music. Dan, the bartender, is a nice guy who can provide a helpful ear if you wanna unburden yourself. Dan also makes a mean blood mary, which is described as the best in town on the directory board. I agree with that ad, twas a bloody good bloody mary ! You get a shrimp with it !!!!It's a small place with about 3-4 booths and easy to miss when walking in Sonoma downtown. We found it only coz it was 9:30pm and this was one of the few places open. FYI, its open till late night. Preferably, walk to this place.The locals are friendly and provide good stories you can sit and provide half an ear to when watching basketball or ice hockey. If you are interested, you can even watch star trek TNG.No food is available here though except for packaged chips. But deftly a lovely place to end your day at.A for sure return visit for me next time I'm in sonoma downtown.

Parking: Parking is on the street around the town square which can fill up pretty quickly. And its only a 2-3 hour parking.“

“Delicious pizza, fast and friendly service“

“We were very excited to try this place out and really enjoyed trying the seasonal brisket and meatball tagine. My husband loved the creative cold brew coffee options and the horchata was delicious (warning though the serving size for the horchata is very small).

I really loved the persimmon bread dessert. Reminded me of a richer version of my family persimmon bread.

I appreciated that the cost includes the tip as that is how it should be (supporting the staff in the price). We will return to try their changing tasty menu.“

“Legendary Italian. Family Style. Enough said.“

“Great Sandwich, had the Brooklyn Bridge it was delicious“

“Decades in business, the New Yorker is long standing Petaluma staple with exceptional food!!!!! And Rosalia!! She serves up some seriously solid pizza, amazing pastas and homemade sauces plus very generous salads- you can't go wrong with anything you order!
While you wait for a to go meal or dine in, enjoy the eclectic decor and postcards from all of the world. Such a gem ofa locally owned old school pizza joint.
One of my favorite restaurants of all time! ☆☆☆☆☆☆
♡ a fan since 2001!“

“What a wonderful hoke in the wall bar. KAT the bartender and daughter of founder and owner was amazing. Locals and tourists welcome from the security team who were the most adorable puppies to the dollar dollar bills on the ceiling what a perfect spot to just be chill and dance the bar!“

“Excellent repas. Portions généreuses et savoureuse. Très bon service ! Je recommande fortement ce petit restaurant mexicain à la Plaza Sonoma!“

“I came here a few months ago and had a so so experience because of an older female bartender who was gruff and rude. Went back right before thanksgiving and there’s a young lady working. She’s super efficient and nice. Drinks were $7 or $8 each“

“A great place in Petaluma, CA. Love this place. The food is great and there are always some specials in the menu. Love the wild boar gnocchi but everything is great!“

“We have been here many times over the years and it is always very nice.“
