“Everything on the menu is delicious 😋“

“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“

“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 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.“

“Delicious wine and knowledgeable staff!“

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

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

“My boyfriend and I made a reservation after I’d driven by and seen that they specialize in sparkling wines, and we are so glad we did. We loved getting to speak with Randy, the winemaker and owner, as he walked us through the wines that he clearly put so much love and care into. It’s obvious he only wants to make wines that he himself would drink (hence all of his wines being organic!) and that passion is infectious. Would 10,000% recommend if you want an intimate experience of the kind of people who make Sonoma Valley wine so great.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Inventive food and the best bartenders!“

“Sourdough bread bowl was excellent! Fish taco were gluten & dairy free... loaded with fish & fresh toppings! Very hearty servings!“

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

“We stopped by here for the first time and their food wowed us. It was delicious, and the service/atmosphere was great. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back.“

“Amazing wine tasting in a natural beautiful environment“

“So unfortunately we couldn’t go, they were booked. However, they were the NICEST people, gave us some great recommendations. We got a tiny pour of something very good while they made some reservations for us. They have a beautiful view and we’d love to try them next time we’re up that way. I just wanted to take a moment to express our group’s appreciation for their excellent care of not-quite-customers.“

“Tiny restaurant making big waves!

Never have I ever tried food or wine from Georgia, but I’ve been converted to a regular. The food is super simple, but make no mistake the dishes coming out of this kitchen are packed with flavor and done up. I tried dumplings, sautéed mushrooms, and a wrap. Every dish was like exploring a different part of Georgia and with each bite I got to see this cuisine is about transforming simple ingredients. I’d happily re-order everything I tried!

Georgian wine is unique unto itself. From what I understand the wine is made using a very old method of burying clay pots. There isn’t much processing or filtering, so the end product is very viscous. I enjoyed it, especially as a first time experience, but I don’t think it’s for me.

The restaurant itself has a warm, quant feel. The staff were extremely inviting and happy to explain the menu as well as the wine.

If you’re curious about trying Georgian food or just happen to want a great meal in Sebastopol then try Piala!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came here for a Chamber mixer as it's one of my favorite wineries in the world. So many great childhood memories of Korbel. The tours are fantastic. The winery is down to earth. The redwoods are magical. The view of the vineyards spectacular. Delicious deli food. I don't even drink wine and just love coming here for all the other wonderful things this historic winery has to offer! 💕“

“Wonderful breakfast with attentive, lovely staff! ❤️“

“I loved absolutely every single thing about this place! The welcoming, bright, beautiful space, the staff, the incredibly imaginative food (pussy willow pistachio, mochi donuts?!!!) , the elixirs and the vibe. I can't wait for my next trip to Sebastopol!“

“What do you get when you cross a mathematician with a grape? Perfect wine! Moshin wine shines with small volume meticulously crafted slow aged harvests. We were lucky to satiate our palates with phenomenal wines and spend our time with our host and wine docent Robin Froman. She is an amazing documentarian of this estate, its wine and wine educator. It wasn’t hard to choose to purchase wines. All around 5-star experience.“

“We were visiting California but were concerned about stopping at a vineyard with a 13 yo and 11 yo twin children in tow. This was the perfect place. Relaxed atmosphere with nice wines and the kids were completely fine (big sigh of relief)! Highly recommend for adults wanting to experience a bit of California’s wine country and a reprieve from all the kid oriented activities.“

“exquisite grounds and excellent service from Leo. be sure to ask him for wine pairing advice. he really knows his stuff and explains all his choices.
The wines were very good. the reserve Chardonnay is a good choice even if you are not a white wine drinker“

“full of love, great wine delicious oysters and amazing people 5/5“

“I’m so glad I finally got the chance to eat here. It was INCREDIBLE!!! Sautéed steak with fettuccine tossed in a ají Amarillo sauce, holy sh*^ it was sooooooo good!!!! Can’t wait to go again ❤️“

“Best Mexican Food in Town and very fair prices. Excellent customer service.“

“One of my favorite all time places!! The food is spectacular - fresh and always so tasty and flavorful!! Fresh seafood, juicy burgers, and the best French fries in the ENTIRE world!! (And all 3 dipping sauces are the bomb! )“

“Great restaurant for lunch. Make a reservation because after 12N, there will be a line outside waiting to be seated. Service was very nice. Our server was super nice and did a good job of explaining the different BBQ'd meats. Food was good. The brisket was the best for tenderness. The tri-tip was a bit dry but could be ordered for doneness. The bbq sandwiches had way too much bread. Sides were good. Servings were large. Would definitely recommend for a convenient lunch or dinner in a nice setting.“

“Great latte! I had the challah French toast which comes with vanilla ice cream butter and real maple syrup. So good and enough to have leftovers. Hubby had baked eggs with black forest ham. Food was great, good service and charming off beat vibe with an eclectic mix of people enjoying a convivial mood.“

“Great place. We loved everything about it. Service is excellent. Proportions are huge. I ordered breakfast. It’s not on the menus. Owner recommended.2 eggs, beans, rice. Cheese and chicken.Covered in green sauce on 1/2 plate the other half is covered with red sauce.Fresh good food.“

“Amazing delicious food and kind hearted family ♥️ I was surprised as how good their breakfast burrito was 😍😍😍“

“I wish I could remember the name of our host, because he was great, and knowledgeable especially for someone his age. Early 20s, from Santa Rosa, dark hair. He made the tasting extra fun by humoring two middle age ladies, and was happy to take some unique photos. We really appreciated the hospitality and had a blast.“

“always awesome diverse beer selection all on big screen …recommend the pretzels and beef chipotle street tacos“

“Having traveled to India and Nepal, I can confidently say this is great Nepal/Indian food! It has the traditional foods you will recognize like tikka masala and biryani and all of it is good! We have taken many people out to this restaurant and everyone enjoys it. Highly recommend!“

“My new favorite spot. Cracklin chicken best thing ever. Service and decor blew my mind. The atmosphere is warm and friendly.“

“This place is the best! Delicious ciders on tap, plenty in cans, clothes & fresh apples. If you want to enjoy a crisp cider underneath an apple tree: this is the place. The chairs are wooden chairs which are insanely comfortable. My bf and I were locked into these chairs. Live music within earshot. The bartenders are also very knowledgeable about the drinks & asked me if I’ve been here before. They went above and beyond to inform me about the drinks and make me feel comfortable. Come here!“

“Everything is good here …but I highly recommend the honey duck and shrimp 🍤 spring rolls“

“One of the most beautiful golf courses I've ever seen or played, staffed by some of the nicest people I've ever met at a golf course. My only regret is that I don't live nearby, so I can't come here 3 times a week. If you told me I could golf at Augusta for the same price, I'd do it, but I'd still love Northwood more.“

“Beautiful property excellent staff and outstanding wine.“

“The service is fantastic and I highly recommend if your in the area you should stop in for the Breakfast Burrito!! Is a meal and a half and is TOTALLY worth it“

“Jimmy & John are amazing! Cocktails are heaven! Vibe & service beyond stellar! Thank you!!“

“🍽Great food, large portions and the special was down right great! Good cocktails and fresh food.“

“Had a lovely afternoon at DeLoach last week. Rick was an excellent host! We were greeted with sparkling Chardonnay and tasted wines from different appellations including the Estate Pinot Noir - one of our favorites! We also shared some charcuterie which is nice to have a little food with the wine.“

“My family and I had the most amazing, lovely experience at Kistler vineyards today. Our experience from the moment we arrived was warm and inviting. While the wine was superb, the experience was only heightened by the incredible attention to detail the team put into the experience. From the table setting, snacks, glass choice, and interior decorations no detail was overlooked. My family and I were particularly impressed with the food and snacks. We will dream about the dip, crackers, and pork for years to come.

However, the true star of the show or better said, the wines best supporting actress, was Camille who showed us around today. She emulated her clear passion for wine and reverence for the Kistler brand during our tasting today. Every question had answer and she was very attentive during our discussion experience today. Her knowledge, friendliness, and warmth was the hallmark of our experience.

I am so happy my family and I had the opportunity to experience Kistler in such an intimate capacity today. Undoubtedly an experience we will not forget.“

“They have several vegan options. Very good. Thank you“
