“The octopus in squid ink was good.(Coming from someone that doesn't like octopus).The liver pate was a little overwhelming and needed more bread to use it all. The lamb cheek in polenta was not bad but had a little too much oil in it. Spent around 140 total which I think is a little too much without alcohol but it was reasonable for 5.5 people if the servings were a little bigger than the snacking size.If my first pick didn't have a 3 hr wait i would have not come. But I was caught off guard not being a local and all.If you have that nice wine budget to spend then it's a good place to hangout at and sip as a bar/lounge. But it is not a full restaurant in my opinion.“
“Good food, they had the ground meat so it's a bit different. The plate was filled with meat, in fact i was hoping for a bit more of the noodles. Whatever was going on with the meat, it was a bit too sweet. So an overpopulation of meat made the dish a bit much. They had chillies at the table, but microscopic ones. Not enought to balance out the food. The dish was prepared by a culinary artist, just like in the shows. It was nice, but not what i was looking for.“
“This was such a fun Tasting! We had a great time with this diverse and knowledgeable staff…not to mention an absolutely amazing choice of Pinots! It was most delicious paired with our cheese and bruschetta tray. Thank you for the great education, stories, laughs and a wonderful wine!“
“Region was the highlight of our day. Tons of options to choose from, they had a winemaker doing pours of their new selection , and the staff is top notch.Best of all you can get food delivered from the local restaurants. We loved the vibe here, and it used to be a dog friendly place.Definitely come with friends to hangout, or just read a book. It’s a fantastic wine and food experience.“
“This is a true gem in the Barlow. Oyster has a wonderful atmosphere - great for a family dinner or a get together with friends. The food is fantastic - strongly recommend the duck fat fries, the burger, the wedge salad, the calamari and the octopus. Raw oysters did not disappoint either. We will definitely be back!“
“Extremely tasteful, in every possible way. Natural wine focused, bottle shop and wine bar in Sebastopol. Very welcomed addition to the community and supports/stocks a lot of local, smaller, winemakers in Sonoma county I had never even heard of. From the moment you step in the décor feels welcoming and artisinal. Walls of wine create a canvas that would make even Matisse proud. The wine itself is like a mural of cultures - highlighting local producers in Sebastopol making avant-garde whites, to more non-traditional New Zealand umami-driven pinots, to Georgian funk fests. Punchdown imports it all and offers it here to share by the taste, glass and bottle. The key here is in the variety, yet the true life of Punchdown is in the unpretentious staff and afforable price points, allowing customers to indulge in such stimulating, global treats.“
“Finally, Sebastopol has a late-night go to spot for fantastic food and great atmosphere! This is an authentic Georgian experience, complete with Georgian wines. We love the comfort food here. Very fresh and innovative! The owner is quite attentive and accommodating. I would give it 5+ stars, but the wine list is somewhat limited, primarily offering Georgian wines, which are nice but I would prefer to have some local wine to choose from as well.? They are open until 10:30 pm during the week.We will be back!“
