“We have been at Sonoma Wine Shop - La Bodega couple of months ago for a special Brunch and yesterday for our Anniversary. Both time the welcoming, the food, the wine and the hospitality were AMAZING 🙏😊 Such special people and food. For sure we will come again and again and recommend to All 💜”
“Best Thai food I've had stateside since returning from Thailand, bar none.”
“It’s Sooo Good.., I don’t want to Share This! Please Keep this Secret 🤫”
“Nice to see another Punchdown location, especially up in the Barlow. Eclectic selections with focus on more natty and esoteric grower producers. Some nice tasting options.
Didn't try any of the small snacks, more limited menu.”
“The absolute best pizza! Their crust has a perfect sourdough tang, and is crunchy and chewy. The toppings are creative and sourced from local farms and producers. And I love their delightfully punk vibe. No visit is complete without checking out the fun pictures in the bathroom. Out of 5-stars, they deserve 10!”

“We happened upon this family-owned, small tasting room on our way back from Bodega Bay. I am so grateful we found this place. Lynn was absolutely amazing! She was welcoming and knowledgeable, an absolute GEM! The placed was packed and she still managed to make us feel special. We enjoyed EVERY wine we tasted & took a bunch home. Do not sleep on this amazing winery. Family run business doing it all the right way.”

“Loved this place! Glen and Gigi were so approachable and engaging. It was nice to go to a winery that didn’t feel pretentious, and the seating/ vibes were extremely comfortable. Underrated, great tastings, and the bottle : tasting ratio made sense. Bonus points- our dog was a welcome guest 😍”
“Our tasting experience with Kyle was exceptional! Not only were the wines on point, you could really sense Kyle’s passion for DRNK and the industry in general. I was immediately won over when we were offered two different bubbles to start and our crew really appreciated how informative yet informal the experience was. It truly felt like friends chatting about food, wine, and culture while sipping some of the best juice around. So glad we found this place!
Ohhhh and the caves were so cool!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Absolutely-Not-Normal Stars for The Hole in the Wall! Let me tell you… The Hole in the Wall didn’t just feed me. It spoke to my soul. I ordered three street tacos—chorizo, chicken, and steak—and that steak taco? Buddy… it tasted like someone grilled the most excellent steak known to mankind, whispered words of encouragement to it, motivated it to reach its full potential, then sliced it into bite-size greatness. The salsa inside? So good I considered taking it home and introducing it to my family. My son ordered the happy hour cheese quesadilla, which came out perfectly toasted—crispy golden edges, soft cheesy center. Basically a work of art Picasso wishes he painted. Then we shared the habanero wings, which came with a medley of tomatoes and sliced cucumbers so fancy it felt like they were auditioning for a cooking show. The dressing? Absolutely delicious. I briefly thought about drinking it like a tiny salad smoothie. I didn’t… but I thought about it. In conclusion: If you’re not eating at The Hole in the Wall, are you even living? 🌮🔥🍗”
“Such a great way to taste wines from all over our area. 2-ounce tastes are great. I enjoyed a couple of whites, then a flight of reds from DRNK for $25. Best tasting variety.”

“Dined at Viva last night with friends from Petaluma. We absolutely loved our experience. It was chef and owner Sima’s Persian Night, something new she is doing on Monday and Tuesday nights. Sima is Persian, and although she has served amazing Mexican food since assuming ownership of the restaurant, she has always added a twist that reveals her Persian influence. The new menu offers a great selection of traditional Persian cuisine, sweet, savory, tart and includes wine, beer, and specialty drink pairings. My party enjoyed a crisp Sauvignon blanc, but next time I will try the Santa Rosa plum fruit roll up margarita as it looked beautiful and the woman at the table next to ours said it was delicious. We ordered an herb and cheese app, sima brought olives in a walnut sauce, the cucumber yogurt dish, lamb and quince stew, lentil and rice, and chicken pomegranate stew. All was delicious! We rarely order dessert, but were curious about the menu so had the pistachio ice cream, havla, and bread pudding. Sima brought an herbal tea that was a perfect compliment. Each dessert was incredible-the ha la my favorite but my friends voted the bread pudding. Amazing! The portions are just right which allowed us to try many different things, including desserts, but leave feeling satisfied, not “stuffed.”
Sima made everyone in the restaurant feel as though they were in her home. Persian music was playing in the background, and although she was busy serving, supporting staff, helping with takeout orders, she spent time visiting at tables, sharing food and her extensive knowledge about the traditions behind the meals on the menu.
I noticed some customers arrived expecting her normal Mexican fare and she honored it.
This is not a “get in and get out” experience- come for a unique, sobre mesa experience. Highly recommend.”
“Went for the first time the other day and it was great. We had the tofu rancheros and the vegan bahn mi. Both were great. Staff was great and the restaurant itself is very cute with an awesome outdoor patio. They also have a vegan kids menu! Updated from previous review on 2026-01-06”
“Fate led us here on our last night in California, and we are so glad it did, because we had such an amazing time! Everything about it was wonderful, from the hospitality to the wine to the company 💜 The only thing we missed out on were the hot dogs, but we'll be back someday!”

“Perfect for date nights, small parties, and girls’ dinners, Goldfinch checks all the boxes—from ambiance to food options, yummy cocktails and mocktails to a well-curated wine list, and can’t forget the attentive and personable staff. I highly recommend ordering a few appetizers and mains to share to help balance all the different flavors. The hangar steak, calamari, and pull-apart focaccia are all must-haves! Looking forward to visiting Goldfinch again the next time we’re in town.”
“Just returned from California and a highlight of our trip was Koblers vineyard. Mike Jr was so passionate & informative when educating us on Koblers wine. His warm & welcoming demeanour really made our visit fun. We enjoyed the cheese & wine pairing. Such a wonderful host and the homely setting is lovely.
P.s. our wine survived the return journey to Scotland!”
“One of my favorite wineries. Such a hidden gem. The owner was super nice and very fun to chat with. The experience was very relaxing and intimate. Went here with my brother a few years ago and looking to go back next time I'm in the area. I thought I was only a white wine girly but was blown away by the cab!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such warmth and kindness — the staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The food was absolutely outstanding. I ordered the lasagna, and it was easily one of the best I’ve ever had — perfectly layered, rich in flavor, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth tender. You can really tell that the pasta is handmade fresh in-house — it had such an incredible texture and delicate taste that you just can’t find everywhere. Every bite was perfection. I will definitely be coming back and trying even more dishes. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic, high-quality Italian food. If you’re a pasta lover like me, you must try their house-made pastas — they are truly something special. Overall, an amazing experience all around — from the food to the atmosphere to the genuinely sweet and attentive staff. 10/10!”
“As a driver for DoorDash, I went by here on my way to my regular job to pick up an order. I haven’t eaten yet at this location, but the customer service was fantastic and the pizza smelled good. Clean, organized and well run Round Table pizza place. Staff friendly and very helpful.”
“We had such a lovely experience day tasting wine with the special food pairings. We will be adding this as necessary stop for our yearly gals vacation.”
“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! )”
“The pork rib & 1/2 chicken plate with 2 sides- the baked beans & coleslaw slaw were all fresh tasting & moist! The owner Chris was very insightful & was lovely sharing his time on their process, along with the operations manager Finn! The best BBQ ever... I can't wait to come back tomorrow!”

“Got a breakfast burrito/wrap and smoothie, both were really good! The smoothie was absolutely amazing. The staff was really nice and they had a cute little section of merchandise from Mexico that was tasteful and didn’t clutter the store. Cleanest business I have been in, in a long time! They had cute decide for the holiday which was a nice touch.”
“Best yogurt store ever. We love this place. They always have multiple flavors and lots of toppings. The peanut butter flavor is to die for, You are greeted so sweetly as you come in the door, Emily is so sweet and helpful. This is our go to every week.”
“Hands down the best bagel place in the Santa Rosa area! Grateful bagel has a wide variety of delicious bagels and sandwiches that are freshly made. Personally, I would highly recommend the lox bagel (which is filled with smoked salmon). Grateful bagel also has fresh croissants, boba tea, and homemade coffee. It is family owned and the employees there are very friendly! It is located in the center of downtown Sebastopol. Highly recommend!”
“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 ❤️”

“The Subway in Sebastopol Ca, have been my place to eat for 3 years now. Why do I love this place? It’s because there fantastic employees there, always friendly helpful. This is more than a 5 star but 5 is the highest. Thanks to all the staff at Subway Sebastopol, I recommend anyone to check out this store.”
“My husband and I come here whenever we can for breakfast or lunch. We usually get the Cals Mombo Combo and split it because the portions are enormous! It’s absolutely delicious and a household favorite. Starbucks is across the street so I think people tend flock there more. I really hope more people come to check them out— it’s a gem that deserves more recognition! Support local!”
“Coming back from Valley Ford, where we released a breeding pair of badgers out there in the rolling hills and grasslands to help control the prairie dog population that old Lady Peta started when she released the vermin back in 2016. ...And boy, I'll tell you we're beat! It's tough walking those rolling hills carrying a steal cage that has a 25-pound angry badger in it, and all it can think about is biting you!
Well, we took the long way back through Sebastopol just so we could stop at the Taqueria El Favorito for one of their bigger than life burritos, and they were Amazing!
5 stars all day long! ☆☆☆☆☆”
“I've lived in Europe now for four years (moved away from Sonoma County in 2020l. In a couple of months, I'll be spending two days in California, and Barrio is on my must-do list for when I'm back! My husband and I talk about their tacos all the time. Yes, they're so expensive, but even though I make tacos once a week, I can't make THIS. So heck yes, it's worth it.”
“Everything you want in a meal, very accommodating to all dietary restrictions- loved the bright open concept of the place and the chef and his partner clearly pour all of their love into this food and it shows. 10/10 would recommend!”

“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!”

“The jasmine milk tea with boba was very pleasant and refreshing. I was excited to try their mochi donuts as I’ve been looking all over for somewhere to buy one. I bought the matcha donut and it was delicious! I can’t wait to go try their other flavors. Their shop was small and cozy with an array of cute gifts and candy. I definitely recommend checking them out!”
“Yes, I recommend Screamin’ Mimi’s, but after today’s visit I may need a new neck. SM’s has always had at least 2 easy-to-read menus viewable, at least one inside and one outside. Not now. Now the ice cream flavors are on just one electronic screen right by the cash register and it’s really high. As in Really HIGH. Lots of small print. I was wondering what kind of neck damage I was incurring while trying to read the menu. The group behind me had some little kids and the adults were having a hard time trying to read and translate (what’s lavender?) the list to them. Or, if you prefer a QR code, it’s also right next to the cash register. Don’t forget your phone! In other words, everyone who hasn’t seen today’s menu before they arrive will be stuck trying to figure out their order while standing next to the cash register, peering at a complex menu, creating a traffic jam and longer line. Please, Mimi’s, don’t have the list so high and don’t put it just before the cash register.”
“The lady that runs this place is great :) She always makes you feel at home. It’s really dark inside and i like it that way. Mixed crowd that all get along just fine. The drinks are really reasonably priced. The BEST jukebox around. It has everything new and old. There is an old Star Wars pinball machine, a couple of pool tables, a shuffleboard? game, a small train that makes its rounds above your head for only 25 cents, and surprisingly nice restrooms. I love it here. It is my favorite local watering hole. When i drink a little too much, get a little loud and rowdy, or start making out with my girlfriends, they don’t even mind. Definitely my kind of place.”
“Coffee is always bomb, food is always yummy, and I always feel for the baristas/cooks bc they always seem to be understaffed (which is absolutely a management problem & not a service worker issue lol). I come here more often than I should (at least 3-4 days a week) and I’ll never stop. I don’t mind the wait time for nibbles & caffeine bc the baristas always nail it & are always super kind. A couple of them even know me & my regular order lol”
“Excellent Chicken Momo, Veg Momo. Lamb Chowmein, Nirvana Chicken and curries!!!”
“Top quality food and service! My boyfriend and I have been eating here for 4 years and they know us by our order. 😆 Best sushi in Sonoma County!”
“came here after a long hike. the atmosphere is so welcoming for dogs and kids. would come here agian”

“Hey everyone; this fabulous iconic restaurant is scheduled to close December 18th, 2022 due to the covid economy which is just lifting. Let's give our support and help keep their doors open by ordering some of their great meals. As reviews state, this is a special place. Over the years, my meals there have shown a creative flair in the manner they combined breakfast/lunch items. The food has always been fresh, tasty, substantial, and reasonably priced. It would be a real loss for Sebastopol if they close their doors. Show them you care, give your support, let your neighbors know of this pending departure of this iconic restaurant. Thank you.”

“The best of the best! Great food and amazing service! This morning got to see a bad example of humanity- a fully grown man throwing a tantrum for a free pastry. The girl at the counter handled this entitled person brilliantly. Thank you Sarmentine - your product is solid and your people are superstars!”
“A hidden gem in Sebastopol! A beautiful place to meet with friends. I love the simplicity of the play space, as it leaves so much room for creative play. The barista makes killer drinks and the food is always so delicious! It’s off the beaten path, but well worth the visit.”
