Had a really great time. plan on coming here again. A great menu, you can get a burger and a shake, or a pizza, tacos, sandwiches. Very full menu with all a good variety. one of my new favorite places to go!!!!!! Fun Time!!! Thanks Kelly!!!“
“We arrived in Glen Ellen after a long car ride. I chose to crash at the hotel, but my husband wasn't going to miss a chance to eat at Glen Ellen Star. A week later I am still hearing about the other-worldly bananas foster he had for dessert! :-) We love this place so much that when we plan a weekend getaway we stay in Glen Ellen and drive over the hills to visit Napa and St. Helena just to be near our favorite restaurant, the Glen Ellen Star.“
“The hand pulled mozzarella. That is all that needs to be said. If you come here you MUST order the hand pulled mozzarella. All the other food was really good, but I cannot say enough about the mozzarella. Would recommend with the house made pesto.“
“A small charming restaurant just off the Sonoma square, this lived up to the hype of being on the Michelin list.Upon entering, check out the chalkboard specials - we ended up ordering three dishes from it.Everything was amazing - fresh ingredients, bold flavors. Particular favorite was the scallop, salmon, and uni starter served with daikon radish and micro greens in a light ponzu sauce.The vegetarian risotto was one of the best I’ve tasted, and I almost always order risotto if it’s on the menu. It was the perfect texture, and I would describe it as fresh tasting.Our server recommended the yuzu cheesecake, and it did not disappoint. In hindsight, we should have ordered two.“
“Stoped here with friends for dinner. None of us have ever been here so we went in with open minds and ready to be fed some good food!! So many choices to dine. Inside the restaurant, outside tables or cute yurts that seem to seat about 4 comfortably. Inside is beautiful and rustic. Very comfortable not pretentious. We were given menus but really didn't understand the process until our food server explained that side dishes are served family style in Le Cruset casserole dishes, you just need to pick a couple of proteins to go with them. Our choices: a full loaf of sourdough, fresh picked veggies and their own dip, braised leeks that are meant to be served cold, a whole deboned chicken and a filet of sturgeon. Everything was beyond incredible!! So much flavor!! Everything was extremely fresh. We kept making yum noises and saying OMG after tasting each dish. We couldn't have been happier. All our dishes seemed to compliment each other so well. Our food server was SO KNOWLEDGEABLE...she knew just the right wine to suggest with it and we took her suggestion. She really went ABOVE and BEYOND her job. No I can see whay she was training someone...she really knows the fine art of turning someone's dinner into an experience!! I wish I would have taken pictures but we were too busy eating. 5 stars Charter Oak! You exceeded in all aspects!“
“We celebrated a birthday last night at Mill and it couldn't have been a better choice! The food and service were top notch. Highly recommend the brussel sprouts, fried tofu, pork chops and the masala cakes! I almost forgot fi mention that the cocktails and deserts were also delicious as well. The sangria, old fashion and the pomegranate spritz should be ordered along with the basque cheesecake and lemon special“
“I went to El Dorado for my birthday dinner with my friends We did wine tasting at WALT only 1 min walking distance from El Dorado and we really liked this course. Wine tasting and dinner at nice restaurant was such a good choice! Inside of the restaurant is very spacious and cozy. Only one thing, the grilled salmon which we ordered along with risotto didn't come out at the first time, the our server realized and brought to our table later. Except that, the food was very tasty and we really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. I'm the person who especially love the Sonoma vibe and the restaurant definitely made me feel I'm in the nice and cozy town.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining here for lunch, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the breathtaking views and inviting atmosphere. The food surpassed all expectations. Each dish was bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. From the appetizers to the dessert, every bite was a culinary delight. The staff at this place is incredible. Their professionalism and attention to detail made me feel like a valued guest. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Overall, my lunch was exceptional in every way. The combination of stunning views, delicious food, and impeccable service made me feel like I was on a vacation. I can't wait to return and enjoy another memorable meal.“
“If you ever have the opportunity to dine at the Gatehouse Restaurant at the CIA you must! The best and most innovative food you will find. We have dined at Michelin restaurants and this was matching the experience. Our server Abby (student of CIA) was amazing. Personable, knowledgeable and professional.“
“My family and I have eaten at Farmstead many, many times, and the service, food, drinks and ambience is always great and a wonderful experience. The food and wine selections perfectly complement the flavors for an elevated dining experience. The portions are generous, especially the Heritage St. Louis Ribs and the California Arborio Rice - definitely shareable plates. The desserts are always on point. My favorite is the Scharffen Berger Chocolate Cream Pie - house made with a thick graham cracker crust and whipped cream. If you are looking for a true farm to table experience, showcasing fresh and flavorful ingredients from their garden, ranch and vineyards, Farmstead delivers. Price: $$$ Food: ***** Service: ***** Cuisine: American Farmhouse I highly recommend Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch!“
“This restaurant offers excellent service, but parking at the location requires attention. The dishes are unique, although the lamb shank was too salty. The corn soup is delicious, and the baby pork chops are tasty. However, the table placement is a bit cramped. Overall, it's a good experience!“
“Our 2nd time here. We got California Burger and Root Beer Float, both are delicious! Plenty of seating here, your hands may get dirty cause the burger is juicy, but there are outdoor sinks to wash hands. Restroom is clean. I know there are so many good restaurants in the area but if you don't have time to sit down and dine, this is the best option. Highly recommend.“
“Came here for dinner on our last night in Napa and I was so glad we came. The service was top notch and the patio seating was very calming and beautiful. Our cocktails were great and my husband got the wings appetizer which were yummy. I had the pasta dish with shrimp and I cleaned the plate clean. My husband loved his burger and we ended our meal with the carrot cake, which was perfect! I can't wait to come back!“
“Great experience last night at this local Sonoma gem! Smallish menu with lots of starters to share and also some regular size entrees as well. The food was amazing. The service was great and friendly. We had a reservation for later in the evening but we called and they were happy to accommodate our request to come in earlier. I love sitting at the front window when we go with friends or sitting at the bar and watching the chef. Nice ambiance, kind of dark and moody with cool art on the walls. To start, we ordered the buratta. It was delicious. Served with pesto, Calabrian chilies and bread. We also ordered the raw oysters and a green goddess salad. For our mains - 3 of us ordered the boneless beef short ribs served with carrots and mashed potatoes and the other guest ordered the shrimp and grits. Needless to say we cleaned our plates! For dessert, we ordered the butterscotch pit de creme and a hot fudge sundae. I highly recommend this restaurant. Perfect location right on the Sonoma Plaza.“
“First time here at this restaurant taste of food was greatService was mediocre we order a 300 dollar bottle wine and the sommelier or server never refills or checks on usWe understand that is a busy property by for the price of everything services areMediocrely“
“Obsessed. Jeffrey's is our favorite neighborhood breakfast spot. We like to go an hour or 1.5 hours before closing as the line has died down by this point. My husband is a chicken fried steak connoisseur and he says this is the best one. I'm a big fan of the cobb salad with a side of fries for lunch and the bacon & Brussels sprouts hash for breakfast. The staff are friendly, personable and accommodating. Ambiance is family friendly. Outdoor seating available and dog friendly patio.“
“I took my friend here on a Tuesday for brunch. We were seated right away. My friend had the waffle with fresh fruit, and homemade whipped cream. I had a wonderful bowl of hot oatmeal garnished with dried fruits and maple syrup. I had the delicious French pressed coffee and heated cream. Good food and reasonable prices. I will return.“
“We were on our way from Napa to Calistoga and decided to stop by St. Helena for some shopping and to grab some breakfast. It was Saturday morning and we got there at about 11 am. We got so lucky because we were able to get seated right away, even though the place was packed. I wouldn't be surprised if there are long wait times, especially on the weekend. I think the fact that it was raining helped us to get seated quickly. So charming inside, absolutely no frills but you can tell by going in that they have that home cooked charm. I was surprised that their menu was large, quite a diner experience. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with fries. The portions were big and I just had half my sandwich and some fries at the diner since I was supposed to be eating light before going to the spa. The sandwich was delicious, simple but done right. Staff was friendly, bathroom was clean. The establishment does not have their own parking, street parking only. I highly recommend this place.“
“One of our favorite places. We went there for our anniversary. Ended up eating in the outside area which is only drinks and appetizers but it was great. We ended up ordering 2 orders of the smoked salmon(a must) and tried 4 different wines....Chappelle Cab was the best. Will go back soon.“
“Cute little place! Food was quite good. Not as many local wine options, but still good! Crispy rice was pretty good as well as the butter beans. Salad and bread were amazing!!! Best bread and olive oil I’ve ever had, as simple as they are.“
“Elegant, unique, delicious. Worth every dollar. The service is exceptional- professional, timely, attentive. Pleasant dining experience with truly inspired dishes. We have had excellent meals around the world and Press in Mt. Helena is one of the best meals we have enjoyed.“
“Gotta say when you're in the mood for a satisfying meal, this is the place. Stopped in for lunch yesterday. The patty melt was perfect, The fries were overcooked and crispy, almost like matchsticks. The service was great and friendly. I think this is more of a breakfast place, as most of the folks around us were still enjoying breakfast. Large waffles, ample portions, steaming omelettes, you get the idea. The real deal.“
“This place is fantastic. Upon entering you are greeted with smiles and the aroma of the food is out of this world. Everything on the menu is delicious and I am speaking from experience. The outdoor patio is beautiful and the ambiance is just perfect. You can grab a coffee to go but I highly recommend staying for the food and the experience.“
“A culinary event. Sante at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa provides an exceptional culinary experience with a focus on seasonal ingredients sourced from regional producers. The attentive and personable service provided by Shea S., Forest, Johnathan, and Jeremy elevated the dining experience to a whole new level. From the delicious dishes to the warm hospitality and beautiful ambiance. Sante is a must-visit for food enthusiasts looking for a taste of Sonoma's finest offerings. Each dish is a masterpiece, skillfully crafted to perfection and presented like a culinary theater performance. We enjoyed: - - STARTERS: TSAR NICOULAI CAVIAR & CRISPS BUTTER LETTUCE SALAD SWEET POTATO RAVIOLI KOJI MARINATED QUAIL MAINS: MARY'S DRY AGED DUCK BREAST WILD BLACK COD FLANNERY BEEF HANGAR STEAK 24oz PAINTED HILLS PRIME BONE-IN RIBEYE SIDES: DOUBLE GARLIC MASHED POTATOES GRILLED BROCCOLINI DESERTS: Baklava Citrus Cheesecake PB&J Crème Brûlée Spiced Apple Crisp Chocolate & Apricot Sacher Torte“
“Far and away my favorite lunch spot! Not only is the staff phenomenal, they are mindful of the dietary restrictions of each guest AND attentive. The food is amazing and gluten free friendly! I can't remember the last time I had a hamburger and fries as a Gluten Free eater! I have missed this and was shocked they offered both GF buns and made their fries in separate oil allowing them to be GF. I have spent my last two birthdays there since I love it SO much and d I will always go back. The owners, the staff and the food is fantastic. One last tip, do yourself a favor and order the Brussel Sprout appetizer and WHATEVER season soup they offer.....DELICIOUS!“
“Our visit to this brewery exceeded expectations. Initially drawn in to sample a couple of their renowned beers and enjoy a light lunch.The brewery itself is a sight to behold, with guided tours available for those interested in learning more about the brewing process. The ambiance is complemented by the presence of adorable pets!As for the food and beverages, they were nothing short of exceptional. The extensive variety of beers, along with their special sauces, provided a delightful lunch. The staff's friendliness!In summary, this brewery is a must-visit if you don't know what to do on Sundays“
“Omg the stuffed artichoke and fish tacos here are Devine. We came when it was very busy but managed to get a seat quickly. We stopped at the bar first and were able to get some drinks from an awesome and quick bar tender. Our party visited 3 times in our 4 day vacation to Sonoma so you could say we liked it. The bathrooms are very nice and clean and it wasn’t a super far walk from the square if you are hoping to avoid an Uber.Vegetarian options: The artichoke is to die for. They have an excellent menu.Parking: There is a lot of different kinds of parking around. Even though the place was packed there was lots of street parking around. I believe lots of people walk.“
“Food was so delicious!! We had their special Western Fried Chicken Sandwich. Flavor was on point and chicken was juicy and didn't have to much breading. Also got a coffee shake the flavor was great but I was hoping for more of a thick shake. Staff was super friendly and we got our food fairly quickly since they were very busy. We are so glad we finally stopped by but sad it was their last day opened. Prices are reasonable for the price of food these days.“
“We came for an early dinner on Easter, our first time here. The owner, Joe, was very welcoming, as was the staff. We had a club sandwich and the pot pie. Both were quite tasty. The pot pie crust was nice and flaky, and the seasoning was just right. The tater tots were crispy and not greasy with good flavor. The brownie a la mode was yummy as well, not dried out, and good portion size.There was an error with our order initially, and the staff and owner went above and beyond to make it right. Mistakes happen, and it’s always nice to see a place that takes care of it and makes sure you leave happy.We will be back! We look forward to checking out the patio when it opens in the summer.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp to the entrance and one van-accessible spot. Not sure about wheelchair accessibility to the patio, as there are stairs to a lower level inside.“
“Cozy, quaint, and comfortable. I knew it would be a positive experience when Aneta welcomed me warmly and continued to provide friendly attentive service despite being extremely busy. She was very helpful with both food and wine recommendations which turned out to be spot on! A delicious salmon dinner and satisfying wine in good company. Highly recommended!“
“Food was not great. Ordered calamari and a steak quesadilla. The calamari was bland and very processed. The steak in the quesadilla was rubbery and had large chunks of tomato. It was very strange. Service was excellent! And the atmosphere was very fun. Will return and try a sandwich or burger next time.Kid-friendliness: Took 11 year old for niners game. She had fun and liked the atmosphere.“
“This Black Bear Diner is a hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and cozy atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. The menu is extensive, offering a wide variety of delicious comfort foods. I highly recommend trying their signature burgers, a must-try! The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Black Bear Diner is sure to satisfy your cravings. I can't wait to go back!“
“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.“
“A great dive bar, the floors slope to the left when you walk in, but a great institution for anyone on the trek for great dive bars of California and other planets! Alice was a delight...kudos to her! We got hugs when we left the place. The popcorn was excellent. We met Shane, the other bartender on our way out.“
“This was my 1st time visiting Crepevine, we were a party of 9 on our way home after a weekend away to celebrate my daughter's upcoming wedding. We called ahead for a reservation, the gentleman I spoke with was very kind and accommodating and after just a short wait in line to order and pay for our food, we were immediately shown to our table. Our mimosas came very quickly and before I knew it, our meals arrived . Oh my Gosh, the portions were HUGE and the meals were so delicious!!!! I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Santa Rosa.“

“My girlfriends and I favorite watering hole. We usually go on a Thursday or Friday evening and just enjoy the environment very much. Dave and Rosie are the best and very interactive with their guest really makes you like your at home. We are regulars and just love it. They have a cook who has an absolutely amazing menu with changing specials for late night food and the breakfast Rosie makes on Sundays is amazing as well. Once you go there you won't want to leave“
“First time here. Can only review the Burger. SUPER-GOOD. One of the best take out burgers I've ever had. They get really busy. So if you're getting take out I would order ahead. Kinda a local best kept secret. Very nice efficient staff. The sandwiches/burgers come with choice of sides but you can get them without the side if you like. I also appreciate you can get half or whole orders of fries etc. They have Chili Cheese fries oh my! Went to Shake Shack tonight. Should have went here. Much better and BIGGER. You won't leave hungry!“
“My friend and I enjoyed a Birthday Celebration last night at Layla. I ordered the scallops and was shocked at how flavorful they were - I believe they were the best scallops I have ever had! They service was spot on - and very welcoming. Can't wait for my next visit to Layla.“
“A small little viby bistro on Main Street in St Helena is worth a stop. The restaurant is clean and tidy with chill decor. Tables with tablecloth and proper napkins gives this restaurant an upscale feel. The service is quick and friendly. The menu is a nice size and the wine list is as well. The menu confused me a bit with the choices of ravioli, fish and chips, a burger and tacos in the same menu but it kinda worked. The food came out quiclkly and hot. The burger was noshed down quickly as was the fish and chips. The artichoke was a bit wet even though it was grilled. The pumpkin ravioli was tasty but a bit too sweet. The wines we chose were good quality and went well with the food. All in all a good experience. Caution: parking is not that easy to find and you may have to walk a bit.“
“Family and I came here after coming back from the beach. We did make reservations which makes it easier other wise the wait is long if you just walk in. The atmosphere here is always amazing. Our server was great, gave us time to enjoy our salads and appetizers. He also never asked us any questions if we had a mouth full of food. We all got something different from ribs to steaks and the food was great.“
“The staff and owners are great! The food is fabulous, I really think the cod sandwich is a true standout. Tuesday night is locals night, with no corkage fees. It's fabulous in the summer, but cozy even now, they have tons of heat lamps! They have now added options of multiple sides with burger, sandwiches. Dog friendly as well! My new fave place!“
“We came for the all you can eat wing event they do every Tuesday. I was kinda expecting a restaurant but it's an event hall. The wings were great. Also had this really lovely tomato soup and grilled cheese. It's a great looking venue as well.“
“Wow! Food was amazing, service was outstanding! Marissa and David were exceptional as were the other staff. A delightful surprise given how service can be a real problem these days. Every bit of our meal was delicious. A real gem of a spot.“
