“We had an incredible experience at Golden Bear Station. The food was perfectly cooked — from the salmon to the ribeye — every dish was spot on. The tomato water was such a lovely, unexpected touch that really elevated the meal. The service was outstanding, attentive without being intrusive, and the atmosphere was elegant with a fun twist of character, especially the red lighting. A truly memorable dining experience. We can’t wait to go back again.“

“Tucked right on Sonoma Plaza, Red Grape is one of those places that instantly feels like a home away from home. From the moment you step onto the sunny patio, you’re greeted with warm smiles and the gentle hum of plaza life - footsteps on historic tiles, the occasional laughter drifting from the fountain, and a light breeze rustling the old oak trees that have watched over Sonoma for over a century.

The food here is consistently delicious and satisfying - everything from fresh, vibrant salads to perfectly cooked mains shows care and attention in every bite. But what truly makes Red Grape special is the staff. They’re genuinely friendly, approachable, and attentive without ever being overbearing. Each visit feels like being invited to a friend’s table, complete with thoughtful wine recommendations or quick, funny conversations that make you smile.

Fun fact: the building itself has been part of Sonoma Plaza for decades, a quiet witness to the town’s history - from early 20th-century merchants to today’s bustling mix of locals and travelers. Sitting in the outdoor area, you can almost imagine the stories those walls could tell.

For our family, Red Grape has become a regular spot, a reliable place to gather, relax, and savor both the food and the atmosphere. Between the sunny patio, tasty dishes, and genuinely welcoming team, it’s the kind of place you return to again and again.“

Enoteca Della Santina Wine Bar • $$
127 E Napa St, Sonoma - 9.73 miles

“If Enoteca were a bottle of wine, it would be a perfectly aged red—full-bodied, rich, and likely to make you want to tell all your friends about it after the first sip. The atmosphere is equal parts cozy and classy, like the kind of place where you can feel sophisticated and still laugh until your cheeks hurt.

And then… there’s Lilly.
Lilly isn’t just an employee—she’s the heart, soul, and uncorked magic of Enoteca Sonoma. She could probably sell wine to a vineyard owner, and she somehow knows exactly what you need before you even realize it yourself. Need a pairing suggestion? She’s got it. Need a story about the wine that makes it taste even better? Done. Need someone to casually convince you to order another glass? She’s your girl.

Basically, Enoteca without Lilly would be like a wine glass without wine—functional, but missing the good stuff.

Five stars, two thumbs up, and a toast to Lilly for making every visit feel like the perfect pour. 🍷“

The batter on the clams was very light and crunchy. I also tasted his chicken and it was outstanding. Of course, we also had an order of the plain breadsticks. So happy I live in a town with two Mary's Pizza Shacks.“

“I want to take the time to share such an amazing customer service experience at the Mary's on Summerfield.

I ordered online for NYE at around 6:25 pm. It was a last minute decision as other places we were going to get dinner from were closed. My order was forecasted to be done for pick up at 7:10 pm.

I got to Marys at 6:55 pm. Earlier than anticipated due to the rain. It was definitely busy for pick up orders. It is NYE. So definitely to be expected. I got to the head of the line and was told my pickup order should be done by 7:15 pm. Close enough. I wasnt bothered. 7:20 pm rolls around and I go to the counter to check on my order. Im not mad or irritated. I just wanted an eta as I can see how hard the crew is working and the phones are ringing non stop. I approached the counter and the young gentleman was already anticipating my question. He apologized for the delay and handed me a monetary voucher to use for next time. He said it would be another 20 minutes and apologized again. I wasnt expecting such a kind gesture. I could see how busy they were and its expected due to the evening it was. 20 mins passed and my order was ready. The young gentleman called me over, apologized again for the delay, and gave me some cookies (as well) for waiting. I wish I got the young gentleman's name. He went above and beyond. It wasnt expected but very much appreciated.

The food was hot and delicious as well! Quality was just as good even with how busy they were.

Mary's, Thank you for showing such great customer service. I can see your staff was working so hard on such a busy night. Much Thanks to all of the staff your effort and service is so appreciated.“
