“This is our favorite restaurant to celebrate special occasions in Petaluma. The food is full of flavors and the meats are cooked perfectly. All the specials are unforgettable and leaving you wanting more. You can tell the chefs put their heart and soul into making every dish.”
“Great customer service! Food is good and plentiful! Nice atmosphere!”
“I miss you guys and the wonderful meals and wines. You will forever be my favorite place.”
“I stopped off with family members passing through town. It's a quaint restaurant with a downtown vibe. The service was friendly and the food was excellent! I had the chicken tacos and they were very flavorful and authentic. We all had a great experience and definately look forward to visiting again.”
“A Swedish Gem in Petaluma! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are looking for a dining experience that is both authentically Swedish and refreshingly modern, Stockhome in Petaluma is an absolute must-visit. It perfectly captures that vibrant Stockholm street-food vibe while keeping things incredibly healthy and high-quality. Favorites: • The Salmon Gyro: This is a total game-changer. The salmon is perfectly prepared—fresh, light, and seasoned beautifully. Wrapping those clean Nordic flavors into a gyro format makes for a meal that feels like a treat without being heavy. • Elderberry Soda with a Splash of Lemonade: This was the highlight of the drink menu! The subtle, floral sweetness of the house-made elderberry soda paired with the bright citrus of a splash of lemonade is the ultimate refreshing combination. It’s a "pro-tip" order that I’ll be repeating every time. • The Vibe: The space is bright, minimalist, and welcoming—true to its Scandinavian roots. It’s clear they prioritize fresh ingredients and authentic flavors, from their amazing meatballs to their lighter, veggie-forward options. Stockhome has easily become one of my favorite spots for a delicious, nutrient-dense lunch that feels special. Tack så mycket! 🇸🇪🍋”

“I am writing this review as I'm currently in the diner, i simply couldn't wait to write how I feel, such a delightful experience with my taste buds. I ordered the Salmon Scramble and it didn't disappoint. I'm a lady who's always down for seafood and this hit all the marks I was looking for. The assortment even came with a bit of fruit. The staff was kind and attentive, the atmosphere was a vintage-chill vibe. My guy and I will be back forsure.”
“Best Thai food in Petaluma!! My husband LOVES spicy food and they have never disappointed. Everything we have tried here is delicious! Staff is friendly and meals are reasonably priced.”

“as usual: Great hamburger, fries and for the money can't be beat. Only one irritation occurred last week (this only happened once) : we were enjoying our usual No. 2 order, when a young lady about 24 or 25 accompanied by a slightly older woman, both well dressed, came to our table and wanted us to buy their lunch. We refused, they returned to their table fronting Lakeville, and subsequently hit up another diner, who succumbed and bought their food. Blessings to him for his generosity, but we didn't appreciate being panhandled as we sat enjoying our lunch. hope it doesn't happen again or In&Out will have lost two paying regular customers.”
“We read Houston’s article in the Argus about Urban Deli and had to try it. It was everything he proclaimed. I tried the Mediterranean Platter and everything was delicious - the falafel were uniquely spiced and not too salty which mixes often are. My husband tried the chicken schwarma platter and the walnut baklava and enjoyed them both. The customer service was excellent. So excited to have this new deli downtown.”
“The BEST sandwiches in town. I, personally, think they are a much better quality than when it was Mr. Pickles. Much friendlier staff and owner. I rate this 10 stars. Love the vegetarian sando on Dutch crunch with Swiss and Baja sauce. Chicken salad sando excellent too. All good! Fresh”
“Went to do an event with our food truck last week and came across this cute little place. The owner was super nice. Had the dirty Chai. Omg so so good. Wish they were located in Sacramento so I could go everyday. I see why they stay so busy. If we are ever in Petaluma again will definitely be stopping by.”
“End-to-end pizza perfection 👍
The person I was eating with kept stealing the end of my slices, *before I was finished*, because the crust is so good. Our relationship may not survive.
Staff was professional and polite when a couple (with small dog) entered before us demanded justice for a $.17 error on their bill.”
“I was absolutely blown away, by how good the food was! Super cute, nostalgic vibes. Love it there.”

“Last night, at the Vault of Scottsdale, I had a marvelous experience with Adobe Road Wines and the TRG team. They had the iconic #66 TRG GT car that won the 24 Hours of Daytona victory, and they provided a marvelous collection of wines to the guests. Kevin Buckler and Callum were nice enough to give me a VIP pass to the event. The crew member for The Racers Group race team - Al - was very friendly and informative about the race team. He allowed me to sit in the car behind the wheel and get photos with it. The Vault also had a nice sports-car collection, and it was the perfect setting for the wine-tasting. Al and Cullum were nice enough to give me a tiny ARW token, and autograph some photos of the TRG GT America race-car I saw race in the streets of Nashville a few years ago. The food was delicious - the sweets with fruit, the cheese and crackers, and the best mashed potatoes I've had by far. The food was high-quality and I got to make some great connections. I wish I could attend every event that they host, but I will definitely return the next time they come to Arizona, hopefully for multiple events. Everyone - if they come to your location - this is a 100% great experience for both wine tasters and motorsports fans. Thanks to Kevin, Cullum, and Al for the terrific hospitality and VIP entrance. I admire and respect what Kevin Buckler is building up with Adobe and The Racers Group. If you're ever out in San Francisco area - go to Petaluma and visit their headquarters in-person. The scale is not high enough for me to justify the experience. So, I have to give it 5 out of 5. If not for the 5/5 scale, it'd be a 100/100. :)”
“I was treated to a birthday surprise at this lovely spot in Petaluma. One of my all time favorite foods, and this is the real deal. The service was fantastic and attentive, with our server, noticing who can't have dairy. The owner/chef, adjusted her recipe to accommodate my needs for non-dairy sauce and OMWord, it was all scrumptious. Wish I lived just a little closer so I could more regularly stop in and enjoy the deliciousness.”
“The food was absolutely amazing. We shared a house salad, a pistachio pizza, a creamy truffle white sauce pasta, and finally an awesome tiramisu. Also had a great selection of drinks and wines available and have a cork fee if you want to bring your own. It is a very popular and tightly packed place so I recommend reservations and you will be very close to others.
The only negative items we had were that we had to wait a while after our reservation time. And that the service speed is sometimes inconsistent. Table seated later and behind us, and with a different waiter, had ordered and received their drinks and appetizers before we could even order our drinks. Our waiter would disappear for a long while and had to waive down others to help us. Just bad luck of the draw for us that night. But the food is still so good that I’d go back!”
“As a construction worker remodeling a restaurant just across the street (for 6 months!), I ate at China Town Restaurant at least 30x. I love this place! When you walk by you may not see anyone, but customers love to sit way back deep inside, as the artworks on the walls are impressive. The dishes are delicious and filling, both for taste and freshness. As a lifelong vegetarian, there are many options for me, but my favorite is Broccoli Tofu with rice noodles.
Boom!
Oh, and the restaurant we remodeled? Already out of business. Chinatown Restaurant shows the right way to run a restaurant: it's the food!”
“Pearl is a gem in Petaluma. The food is delicious and crafted with care. The business is operated to support the entire staff so there is no tipping and the full cost is incorporated in the price. If you want the best lunch in Petaluma, head straight to Pearl.”
“Always greeted with a warm welcome, attentive service and hearty portions of great tasting food especially when accompanied by a crackling fire by the fireplace. Been going there since the mid 80's and love the rustic ambiance! 🥰”
“We found bricks while staying in Petaluma for the week The best thin crust pizza I've had in like a long time. Staff is friendly services amazing and they have Peroni!!”

“Neil not only makes a really great coffee beverage he is super consistent and it's always great! Not every coffeehouse makes a consistent cup. I have to be really careful with added sugars and Devine Mother Tea and Coffee makes the best Sugar Free Vanilla latte around. For your next cup go find the little Divine Mother Tea and Coffee booth!”
“This review comes from not only someone that has worked and lived in South Korea but also has been taught how to properly prepare Korean food. ... Food here is excellent! Side dishes are adequately for the main dish. Kimchi varieties excellent flavor without relying on heat/peppers. The menu has enough selection and variety to keep coming back. Dinner portions are larger than lunchtime specials.
Pro Tip: Order 'All-a- Cart' for 2 lunch specials and 1 with the lunch meal rice and salad. More than enough for two people.
Lovely location”
“I can’t thank Charles enough for the superior customer service that he extended to me! Took the time to explain the app. Understood when we had a sickness and had to cancel the order. Then so graciously helped me again to place the order when we figured out when we could do the party. Charles delivered the pizza and add on’s with right on time with a huge smile on his face! A pleasure to deal with! Thanks again Charles! Happy Holidays!”
“Possibly the most delicious & soul satisfying meal we’ve ever eaten. 👏”

“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!”
“Had lunch there today. I had a French dip sandwich made of prime rib.. I had the sandwich, packed with prime rib, plus au jus. The fun was crispy, but not ready. As a side, they provided tater tots, which I happen to love. I asked if I could also have a side of coleslaw, which was delicious and was added without charge. It was about the best French dip that I’ve ever had in 67 years. The bun was crispy, but not heavy. Dipped into the au jus, it was heaven.They are good hearted people, and they should be patronized.”
“We were spending the night in Petaluma and were searching for a good place to eat online. The menu looked good so we decided to go. The dining room was small, but clean and inviting. The man at the counter was friendly and welcoming. The samosas were flaky and delicious. The meat on the steak salad was so tasty and the salad was large and fresh. The person working recommended the Spicy Basil dish, and it did not disappoint. The food was so good,if we lived here we would eat here all the time.”
“Super fun location in the Alley! It was busy, but from order to received item was maybe 5 minutes. Soft serve was ok. We got a slush shake and it was good. There’s a lot to read on the menu and it all scrunched up on a board. Had different things you could add to your slush.”
“Love Anna helped me today I brought my dog my Date King he's 160 lbs she was very friendly great cocktails great food very tasty fast service clean super great we highly suggest”
“High quality sushi, super clean environment, high ceilings modern decor. Only problem- they all still wear masks. Foolishness! (RN here and I know the truth). Highly recommended sushi fare.”

“definitely unprofessional not ok to tell a customer that even though the person taking your order over the phone messed up your order then you call then rude employee female at 6:30 pm answer the phone saying they can resend it out but charge me delivery fee again which is not ok or how it works I worked for domino's for a few years now and we don't do bussiness like that at all its unprofessional to lie to a customer then when the customer ask for a manger you don't put them on hold for 15 minutes and you over hear the person on the phone say just great saying not professional things about the customer completely rude and employee needs written up an reprimanded for this type of behavior but the manager is going to make it right but no customer should ever have to wait 45 minutes more to get there correct order completely not ok hopefully the GM and the district manager will look into the store off bear valley in apple valley to train there employees in proper procedures and professional way to handle customer service we order all the time never have these type of issues very disappointed”
“As a professional barista, I have a higher standard for coffee than most and will refuse to drink from most commercial roasters. Acre coffee is one of the best experiences I've had in a coffee shop yet. Legitimately good coffee, friendly faces, great atmosphere and an eagerness to bring you back in. 9/10. When coffee is this good, a long line can bring a wait time but the coffee, food and pastries are still well worth it”
“Several times a week I enjoy Peet’s coffee with a friend after our morning walk. When we enter the store Renee is usually at the counter flashing her beautiful, welcoming smile! She is always gracious and upbeat while providing outstanding service! She is a gem.”
“Great place with great wings and a nice staff. You can tell they care about the food they serve. So that was a little weird😉. Thanks for the wings, they were most num num, will wing again for sure. Here's your bag of emoji for the win, as is customary 🙏🏻🌟🏆🥇(gold stars can be picked up after 4, you must have your id and ticket for theoretical internet dollars - NO EXCEPTIONS)”
“If I could give What a Chicken 10 stars I would!
Their chicken is amazing! It tastes so good!!! It has the perfect amount of herbs, spices and smokey flavor! We paired it with mex rice, refried beans and fresh homemade tortillas that are out of this world delicious!!!
The staff is friendly too!”
“Every morsel is a treat every time for years! Yes, this is true! It is always crowded, I wish it wasn't but I understand that it must because too many people want to eat here...and so it is! And the staff are engaging, patient, efficient, and they appear to be content where they Are!, This community gem is a treat...drop in!! TY all of you who make it so! 🤗🎈😋🍐🍉🍓🥑🥒🥕🥓🥞🧀🥐☕️”
“There isnt any Dubai about the Dubai strawberries, my fault for not reading the description since it doesn’t actually mention anything about having pistachio cream but it definitely doesn’t look like the picture which is misleading. The chocolate was cheap and didnt stay melted and the green part was like some kind of grainy coconut paste with bright green dye, i have had other stuff which were good like mangonada, shaved ice and the ice cream but yeah, just know there is no pistachio in the “Dubai Strawberry Chocolate””

“We dined at Taps On The River for the first time last evening. I was so impressed with the service and friendly atmosphere. We chose our table inside by the large windows that looked out on the River. Our server was Jessica and she was simply wonderful. She was very attentive throughout the meal but not intrusive (give this lady a raise!). The food was wonderful. Plenty of choices for all. I might suggest that you put something chocolate on the dessert menu. Thank you all for a delightful evening.”
“Four of us had an awesome experience last Friday night at Jan’s 256. Our server, Alice was especially attentive to our needs and wants. Our meals were spot on as usual. Jan’s short ribs are the best in town and the fish and chips were perfection. Always enjoy being at 256.”

“All u folks who claim the food was amazing or delicious have never actually tasted great food b4 n ur life ans taste buds rnt working, if so u would think differently about this place. food is tasteless, was served brownish lettuce. tables were filthy, a member of my party got sick starting throwing up after leaving and now in bed. had to fight flies for my food. fries were as hard as bricks and hollow. way over priced for what was served. nasty flea bag non service dogs all over the place.”
“The staff was very accommodating. We had three out of town guests show up and surprise our daughter for her graduation and they let us add three people onto our reservation. The location and food was amazing but our server was not very attentive and she was a bit grouchy. But the overall experience here was worth it.”

“I was thrilled when Sol Food came to Petaluma, closer to my West County home. The food is always delicious, no matter what you order. I especially appreciate their large menu and its many budget-conscious options, even those who are vegan or celiac (no gluten) will find much to choose from. Four stars for the atmosphere are due to the large indoor space / noise level. There’s also an outdoor patio, which feels more intimate and can be less noisy.”
“Went for lunch. The ambience is sophisticated and chic. The music playlist is soft and jazzy/clubby. We had Cobb salads - one without blue cheese, and they made a special dressing for it. I can decidedly say it was the best salad I've ever had. We ordered the soup which again was outstanding. They had a light kind of chili oil on it I think - not too hot. It was exceptional. We also ordered the potato chips with dip. Yum. The salad, potato chips and dip with champagne, can't get any better. We are all coming back for sure. Highly recommend.”

“Absolutely loved it !
The salmon buckwheat galette is truly outstanding: perfectly crispy, generously filled, and made with high-quality salmon that melts in your mouth. A true taste of authentic French Brittany
And the chocolate pistachio crêpe? Simply amazing! The balance between rich chocolate and smooth pistachio is just perfect—indulgent without being too heavy.
If you're looking for the best crêpes and galettes, this bakery is a must-visit. Fresh ingredients, authentic recipes, and real craftsmanship. Highly recommended!
Thank you Sarmentine !”
