“The food here is excellent and worth going for. We had the scallop appetizer, which was quite pricey, but heavenly, and the raw oysters recommended by our server, also heavenly. We also chose a delicious greens salad, and for our entrees we had the clams and mussels which were fresh and delicious, the cioppino, and the fettucine with clams. For dessert, we had one of the best creme brulees we have ever had. So the food was excellent and worth the price. It took us a while to get our drinks, although we arrived at the end of Happy Hour and that could be why. The oysters were served before the drinks. That shouldn't happen. The atmosphere was okay - very loud, so that we could barely hear one another, and we sat on the Kentucky Street side and cars were pulling into parking spots next to the restaurant and shining into our eyes. You'd think they could put something in the windows to handle that. As for the service, it was not great for a pricey restaurant. Our server warmed up to us over time, but the other person who was circulating (maybe one of the owners?) was not friendly at all. Not what you'd expect. Also, a $25 deposit to make a reservation? Really? Overall, we enjoyed our food but will probably not go back. Too loud, and just not worth the hassle.“

“Two words: Fancy. Toast. Girlies, hear me out, we love having our little treats that are fantastic flavor and a balance between sweet/savory. The fancy toast is all of that. They come bite sized, and you can get four for $29. The leek fritters and steak fries were a great appetizer and especially delicious during happy hour. I definitely would come back here again on gorgeous weather days. The seating/furniture is inviting for groups who want a casual hangout.“

“Great happy hour! Nice food bites and affordable prices. Always friendly service. Critique is for the odd layout for host stand. When busy, not an easy place to stand and wait for a table. Sort of first come first serve when it comes to bar area, which led to others hovering over tables and jumping ahead to snag a table when others were waiting patiently for their turn. Besides that and it being a bit noisy, still is one of our favorite spots to visit whenever we're in Petaluma.“

“My wife and I decided to check this place out after we heard great things about their prime rib. We went in for lunch and were fortunate enough to be able to order it even though it was only on the dinner menu. Our waitress Kendra and the chef worked their magic and we're lucky they did because it was our last day in town. It was delicious and the portion size was a great value for the asking price. Plus it came with sides which increasingly seems like a rarity these days with something like a steak or prime rib. We don't drink but they had a nice bar next to the dining room, and some TVs with sports on if you're looking for that. The restaurant is within walking distance of a lot of great things to see and do as well. We'll definitely be back the next time we are in town and I look forward to it. Needless to say I highly recommend checking out Torches for yourself.“

Buckhorn Cocktail Bar • $$
615 Petaluma Blvd S, Petaluma

“Neighborhood bars are not necessarily friendly if you are not local. This one is an exception. I have probably been here maybe four times and enjoyed it every time. Considering my expectations, I found the back shelf very well stocked. If you are watching where your money goes, it not going to go further than this place. BTW, to get to the parking lot go around the block by taking the street to the North. The only bad thing about it is that I don't get in to Volpi's enough now, which is another Petaluma bar well worth visiting.“

“I met one of my girlfriends here for happy hour and we were certainly not disappointed. We had great service. Of course I didn't catch the fellow's name, but he was awesome and then we enjoyed a plate of the beef nachos, calamari and margarita flatbread pizza, the crust was superb. All of our choices were delicious and presented beautifully. Cocktails were tasty after a long week. It was particularly crowded but a steady flow of folks. I recommend coming for happy hour or if you want a full meal, that menu was quite extensive. Bon appetit!“
