“We loved this place. Food was great and the ambiance matched. We felt like we were eating at the owner’s home. Friendly, fun and great food. Not sure what else you could ask for!”
“Great customer service! Food is good and plentiful! Nice atmosphere!”
“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 miss you guys and the wonderful meals and wines. You will forever be my favorite place.”

“This old Victorian house converted into a Thai restaurant in Petaluma is fabulous! We ordered many things from their menu. Starting with Satay which was large. Very delicious tender chicken and a rich peanut sauce. The fresh rolls were good too. I had the Phad Kee Mao with shrimp. It was good. My husband had the Khoa Soi. I loved it. Very good service and a nice place for a small group or date. Highly recommend.”

“I arrived 1/2 hour before closing and placed an order to go - we were camping nearby. The family quickly got to it while Afir visited with me. He was an awesome and attentive host and chatted with me on a variety of topics while I waited. Returning to camp my wife and I enjoyed the excellent cuisine. The chicken tikka masala, naan and vegetables were delicious. We could have split one meal, but I’m glad we ordered two—no cooking tonight!”
“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.”

“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.”
“Been awhile since I have been here. Still top notch, pizza selection is many, I do wish they had salami, but many good options. Hot tasty and good crust. The William Tell salad is my favorite. Plus a healthy selection of wine and my favorite, Whiskey. It can be a little loud on a Sat evening but the place is hopping.”
Outdoor Dining
“This is a favorite spot of a friend who shares the love of excellent food as well as ambiance and solid table service. Hallie's is cute and clean inside but we chose to enjoy the outdoor covered-tables and had a lovely breakfast, with new memories made. Thank You Hallies :D”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 love coming to this place as vegans. The owner, Daniel, is very knowledgeable about vegan food. If you tell him you want to eat vegan he will give you the many complementary starter dishes that are vegan friendly, and point out the menu options. I especially love the Hot Bibimbap with fried tofu and no egg, the scallion pancakes, and the vegetable mandu. Amazing! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-20”

“Just checked out this place for the first time yesterday (9/5/26); took my family out for dinner. Amazing! The food was incredible! The ambiance and menu is family friendly. Understandably busy but also there is enough table spacing, so you don't feel like a sardine. The presentation was beautiful and service is authentic and friendly. You can tell there is a lot of care behind both the food and the experience.
Reservations do require a credit card to hold, which is completely reasonable for a popular place like this.
Overall, we had a wonderful family dinner and were really impressed. It's exciting to have a place like this in Petaluma. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!”
“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. :)”
“There is a quiet confidence to Pearl, the kind that comes from a kitchen that learned its grammar at Chez Panisse and then went off to write its own sentences. The Alice Waters lineage is unmistakable in the reverence for the ingredient, but the chef here is reaching somewhere more restless, running through North Africa, the Levant, and the Mediterranean without ever feeling like a tour.
What strikes you, dish after dish, is the legibility of a single authorial hand. Some kitchens cook anonymously; here every plate carries the same signature, an unmistakable point of view in the seasoning, the restraint, the way sweetness and acid are made to argue and resolve. You could cover the menu and still know who was at the pass.
We began with the roasted corn and gypsy pepper soup. It arrived deceptively simple, then revealed its hand: red lentils for body, charred cabbage for a whisper of smoke, sweetness and bitterness held in careful tension. A lesser kitchen would have let the corn turn cloying. This one knew exactly when to stop.
The French omelette was a small lesson in technique, folded with a patience that cannot be faked, custardy at the center, dressed in dukkah-roasted asparagus and sorrel with a serrano and mint oil cutting clean lines through the richness.
But the wood-roasted king salmon was the plate I am still thinking about. Served on a fig leaf, the fish was cooked to that elusive point where it flakes but stays silken, set over a white bean and pepper ragout that tasted of long, unhurried cooking. Haroset-stuffed squash brought an unexpected sweetness, and a turmeric yogurt tied it together with quiet acidity.
Pearl includes service in every price and allows no tipping, a small honesty that suits the food. This is sophisticated cooking with nothing to prove and everything to offer. In Petaluma, of all places, a genuine destination.”

“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!”

“A comfortable, welcoming place with a wide variety of patrons. Great for dog lovers. Excellent stout. The mushroom quesadilla prepared by el taco gran mac was delicious, huge and very reasonably priced. Lots of people stopped by to have a beer and then take some home. I'll be back!”

“This is a down home, old school, kinda dive-y bar. It's very comfy and welcoming. And they have Guinness on tap. Yay! Have only had a snack to eat so far, but people tell me the full menu's loaded with good food, too. Don't come and check it out - we wouldn't want it to become a trendy spot! LOL!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”

“What a pleasure it was to eat at Levant. Everything about this meal was exceptional. The restaurant is listed as a Mediterranean reataurant but I would call it Palestinisan. I had the Ryash, this is four lamb chops served on a bed of saffron with a shewer of onions and tomatoes and tatbili sauce. This meal was amazing! The lamb chops were very tender and flavorful, the rice was perfect, and the tatbili sauce paired wonderfully with both. I also had a Palestine Cola with my meal, it was better than Coke or Pepsi and it rivaled Jones Soda's Cola. I would definitly eat here again next time I am in Petaluma.”

“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”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”
“My family and I have been coming here since 2009. Their quality and service has always been consistent. They treat you well and the food is the best. Theyre a wing place (obviously) but my favorite thing on their menu is the cheese steak sandwich. You can never go wrong with it. The same few men have been working the counter for years, and they're always kind. I cannot recommend this place enough. Far better than Wingstop or BWW as far as food and service.”
“I came threw town and stopped at Bianchini's. I got a Roasted turkey breast sandwich. It had this pesto mayo inside that was super good. The meat tasted fresh and the roll was fresh baked. The man that took my order was really nice and I thought overall that they had good customer service. Would go back if back in the area.”
“I really like this place. There aren't a lot of options because the store is so small, but they have good Mexican street food, ice cream, candy, and occasionally baked goods. Don't take my less-than-5-stars rating as a negative. I'm very hard to please and I still recommend coming here.”

“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.”

“As a Belgian, I am always on the lookout for an authentic French bakery. Sarmentine’s viennoiserie brought me back to early Sunday morning at home and I loved it! I was especially grateful for their pain au raisin. My one qualm (and this may be controversial because the bakery is near SF) is that the baguettes are sourdough and not authentically French.”
“If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to eat pastries made by a fairy, go to Blooms End. We happened to show up when she reintroduced the Watermelon Sugar cake, each pastry was incredibly complex in its own unique way, we ordered 6 pastries and had to go back through the line to get more to share with friends and family. In addition to stunningly beautiful food, Mary is a beautiful storyteller. Her instagram posts and how she distills her life experience into each idea, it feels like each weekend is its own event, which it often is with whatever produce is in season. She’s also an incredibly lovely energy, if you’re looking for a dizzying morning of stunning food, ambiance, drive out to Blooms End.”

“The coffee is delicious and made with care—I keep craving it\\! I especially love the Cubano\\. I also had the turkey pastrami sandwich, which was full of flavor and perfectly proportioned\\. What a surprise to find this little gem right off the freeway\\! Definitely worth stopping by\\.”
“It’s been 12 hours since I ate here and I am still thinking about every single bite. This place is such a hidden gem and was so worth our trip from San Francisco to try it! Everything was heaven. I don’t even want to tell you what to get, just know you can’t go wrong. The service was 12/10 and so accommodating to my littles.
Run here immediately!!!! 💨”
“I go here all the time since they opened and all I have to say is that this restaurant is the best one so far. Very clean and kind staff. Don't mind the low ratings. The people don't know a good place if it hit them in the face. Anyways can't say enough good thing about these people. Come here instead of the other ones near by. 10 Stars if I could.”
