None of the food came out hot, especially not the dessert.My ma says a French dip is supposed to be really flavorful, especially the sauce ya dip it in. My dip, though, was missing a lot of the good stuff. Lacked taste and had to ask for BBQ sauce to work it out. The sauce it came w tasted like miso soup- no pizzazz.Fries came out w no seasoning on em.Waiter was in such a hurry that my water got filled w Sprite.Couldn't taste the sausage on the pizza. To my preference, dough coulda been cooked a lil more, but it's all good.The apple dessert was frozen in the middle. Supposed to be like an apple pie, ya know: hot. Now we wonder if any of the other food was even fresh. Ice cream was good tho.

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.

We sat at the bar early for dinner. The place was empty. Ordered one appetizer and dinner. It took about 45 minutes for the starter and had to ask about it. Dinner came much later, meat was far too rare. Husband politely asked to have a more cooked piece, but it was pretty much the same. Under seasoned, not much flavor. The bartender was nice and took it off the bill, but the meal was disappointing. Food was great when it was Rosen's, we won't try again.

Met friends for Happy Hour, excellent happy hour specials. I had their Roast Beef Sliders which turned out to be the best French Dip sandwich I’ve had in a long time. Great selection of beers too.

My wife and I had a great dinner at Torches tonight. The chicken pot pie was great. The salad was fresh and tasty. Enjoyed eating at the bar and getting to know Alice. She’s wonderful!

The owners are local. The ambiance is a mixture of laidback bar/restaurant with a classy and high dinning feeling in the main seating area. The food is amazing. The staff generally rocks it. The bar menu is extensive with a great selection of whiskeys and tequilas. (Among other genres). Lots of screens in the bar for sports events. They do fun things occasionally (holiday themes, line dancing, music, it's random but the effort shows). The decoration is comfortable and very well put together. Have been going since they opened and they are continually growing and getting better despite the difficulty of opening a restaurant in the height of the COVID dumpster fire. They have had smooth growing pains as a new business and have been diligent in navigating how to step up to each new challenge and something special has been born here. Give it a try, go for a drink. See what happens.

Food is okay. Service was a little slow. Would not consider it very kid/family friendly.

This place is Fantastic! Ok people this is a new place I've never been. Living in Sonoma County and Marin..There's not a lot of nightlife restaurants even on the weekends.. So we were in Petaluma last night and looking for a place to chill and enjoy some time.. I of course looked up places on Yelp and I found "Torches." OPEN till 12 OH Yeah.. I'm so glad we walked in here, we were instantly greeted and seated by a friendly lady.. They really welcomed us in..It started with a water and some delicious bread with olive oil and vinegar..We then ordered drinks and food, I'll show you my pics and tell you what we had..The Food was amazing, my Margarita was really really good. Im kinda picky with my Margaritas.. It was perfection.. So I want to tell you how nice everyone is..Everyone that we encountered was just so friendly..Our server her name is Danielle, she was quick, patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and offered suggestions on the items we asked her about..I love when servers know how the food tastes..I can't say enough about Danielle..I'd sit in her section again for sure..Very nice person..Well if the service wasn't good enough, we even were greeted and had a chat with Alice, the manager..She told us to follow on FB as they have Karaoke night and Line Dancing, among other things..So fun..The place is very cool inside when you walk in, there's a big fancy bar area..Also a pizza kitchen..Oh! THE PIZZA! YUMM OK well I hope I helped someone find this cool place too..Great to have an awesome place for the weekend night out.. I really can't wait to come back again..

Food was great. Three of us went here for the first time last week. I ordered a rare burger. What I got was medium rare and I made a little fuss about it. They immediately replaced the whole sandwich with a perfectly RARE burger and gave me a container to take home the other burger for my dog. Really great service. We went on a Thursday at about 12:30 pm. The bar was busy but the tables were almost all empty. However I bet this place is hopping for happy hour, dinner and weekend partying. Will go again! Highly recommend.
