“Great food and lots of it. It’s all good but my favorite is minestrone. Filled with veggies in a wonderful tomato broth. I always get at least one quart to go to eat throughout the week. Don’t forget the cookies”

“We had a wonderful dinner at The Altamont last night. Everything was fresh and we finally had a meal that was worth paying for. Steak sandwich, Ruben (specials they were offering), pork sandwich and a kids cheese burger. We also shared a side of fries. We will definitely make the trip back out again soon to enjoy more of their offerings. Also the building is beautiful! Bonus that it is kid friendly!”

“Everything on the menu is delicious 😋”

“Wonderful staff,enjoyed it a lot🥘😃”

“Authentic Italian just like my grandma used to make 💗”

“Great experience last night! Crab cake was delicious, duck was perfect, rock shrimp and Italian sausage pasta was delicious and petrale sole was also amazing. Had the carrot cake which was served warm with a light creamy topping. So glad we tried it. Definitely will be back!”

“I had not had such a good pizza in years! I am Italian and can honestly say that their Margherita is as good or better as any I ever had! I waited 28 years for this. We really needed it in West Sonoma county !”

“The Redwood serves delicious, reasonably priced food prepared and presented as if introducing you to a good friend. Great wine and non-alcoholic options too. The owners' enthusiasm for creating and sharing nourishing and beautiful food infuses the atmosphere with good vibes. I spent a lovely time with a friend chatting over appetizers and a glass of wine as if I were back in Madrid.”

“What an absolutely darling little place! Situated in a veritable paradise - a blossoming community garden, delicious food and coffee and wonderful service! A must stop when in Sonoma”

“Best Thai food I've had stateside since returning from Thailand, bar none.”

“The mocha was delicious! Love when you can tell that a place uses real chocolate in their mocha. The Meyer lemon and blueberry scone was a bit disappointing I can't lie. Tasted a little sour almost like they exclusively used the lemon rind and added no sugar. If you're into that, great but I gotta say I was expecting something a little more satisfying. They were out of the sticky buns when we tried to order them so they automatically ordered us the Egyptian. Okay sure, I get it, but maybe ask first lol. The Egyptian was also kind of a let down and reminded me more of a piece of black licorice than a sweet sticky bun. Some artisan food for sure but I think it's a bit overrated.”

“I had a wonderful experience at Bricoleur! We did the Rooted Tasting and they were very accommodating to my dietary restrictions of no pork/shellfish, and even better- that didn't make me sacrifice quality at all! The dishes were amazing, my husband said his scallop dish was his favorite thing he ate all trip.

It was all paired very well and we very much enjoyed our wines-- the pinots and the Isla Rose rosé were my favorites.

For anyone who doesn't want to do formal pairings, they also offer delicious pizzas and a bowl of french fries the size of my head. My toddler was in heaven.

The property is massive and stunning-- would be a great place for an event!

10/10 would recommend if you're visiting Healdsburg or Windsor!”

“The ultimate delicious food exists in a quiet corner. I think no one would refuse to have dinner with the family in such a quiet environment.🥰”

“Yummy pizza and great customer service (I had so many questions since I’d only been here once before for a fundraiser). After a recent terrible experience with a franchise chain in town we decided to try PizzaLeah and we were not disappointed at all. Thank you for the delicious pizza and great customer service. We will definitely be back!”

“Outstanding pizza!! Sonoma county needed this!”

“Our tasting experience with Kyle was exceptional! Not only were the wines on point, you could really sense Kyle’s passion for DRNK and the industry in general. I was immediately won over when we were offered two different bubbles to start and our crew really appreciated how informative yet informal the experience was. It truly felt like friends chatting about food, wine, and culture while sipping some of the best juice around. So glad we found this place!

Ohhhh and the caves were so cool!!”

“Gigi was exceptionally good - if she didn’t know the history as well as she could have or deep knowledge of wine making she more than made up for it by being charming and friendly
, things you can’t teach. The wines are always outstanding - Hallberg Ranch one yard is my favorite wherever it is poured but best in your hands (and Gary Farrell’s). I’m local and always send friends to emeritus. That won’t stop”

“So good, we came back a few days later!”

“Inventive food and the best bartenders!”

“They have MY favorite clam chowder on the bay.”

“It’s Sooo Good.., I don’t want to Share This! Please Keep this Secret 🤫”

“Nice to see another Punchdown location, especially up in the Barlow. Eclectic selections with focus on more natty and esoteric grower producers. Some nice tasting options.

Didn't try any of the small snacks, more limited menu.”

“The Best lamb gyros we ever had! and we have tried several places. Gyros were very fresh. Will certainly now make this a frequent stop. Great prices & good size portions. Can't wait till summer to sit outdoors. More than a 5 rating.”

“Porter Creek Winery was such a peaceful gem and one of the highlights of our wine country trip. The team (Crystal) went above and beyond to accommodate us, even staying a little late so we could enjoy the experience — and we’re so grateful they did!

The setting was absolutely stunning — quiet, serene, and surrounded by natural beauty. It was the kind of view that makes you want to take a deep breath and stay a while. The wines were just as memorable, especially the Zinfandels — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.

To top it all off, we were greeted by Poppy, the sweetest dog who made the whole experience even more charming. Between the warm hospitality, the incredible wines, and the peaceful ambiance, it was the perfect way to wind down our day.

Highly recommend Porter Creek for anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate tasting experience with a personal touch.”

“I wish I had pictures. The perfect burrito is all I can say. Been eating here for years and it’s never missed. I literally can’t drive through town without eating here if it’s open.”

“Phenomenal setting in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Stick with the Pinots. Will be back (tomorrow).”

“Delicious wine and knowledgeable staff!”

“Always one of our favorite places to eat fish and chips! Fresh, delicious and plentiful!!!!”

“Amazing, thoughtful, made with love, authentic food with an East Coast flare! I loved all of the wood fired pizza that I tried and the cannoli was excellent. MUST TRY - The Grandma and The Brooklyn. Not to mention this business is family owned and run. Can't wait to return ASAP.”

“The place is worthy the stop ! Excellent fresh food , amazing focaccia like in Italy toasted , clam chowder was wonderful, fresh and tasty during , incredible coffee. You can even buy pottery and some nice t-shirt ! Very welcome staff! Stop there and you will not regret it. From an Italian couple that know about food !”
