“I went to El Dorado for my birthday dinner with my friends We did wine tasting at WALT only 1 min walking distance from El Dorado and we really liked this course. Wine tasting and dinner at nice restaurant was such a good choice! Inside of the restaurant is very spacious and cozy. Only one thing, the grilled salmon which we ordered along with risotto didn't come out at the first time, the our server realized and brought to our table later. Except that, the food was very tasty and we really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. I'm the person who especially love the Sonoma vibe and the restaurant definitely made me feel I'm in the nice and cozy town.“
“Great experience last night at this local Sonoma gem! Smallish menu with lots of starters to share and also some regular size entrees as well. The food was amazing. The service was great and friendly. We had a reservation for later in the evening but we called and they were happy to accommodate our request to come in earlier. I love sitting at the front window when we go with friends or sitting at the bar and watching the chef. Nice ambiance, kind of dark and moody with cool art on the walls. To start, we ordered the buratta. It was delicious. Served with pesto, Calabrian chilies and bread. We also ordered the raw oysters and a green goddess salad. For our mains - 3 of us ordered the boneless beef short ribs served with carrots and mashed potatoes and the other guest ordered the shrimp and grits. Needless to say we cleaned our plates! For dessert, we ordered the butterscotch pit de creme and a hot fudge sundae. I highly recommend this restaurant. Perfect location right on the Sonoma Plaza.“
“My god this was the most amazing meal. The mushroom croque, sunchokes, and chicken fat rice were out of this world. Especially the mushroom croque was just amazing, so flavorful. And the price is shockingly affordable, like, I thought they undercharged me. Amazing!!!“
“This was an incredible experience. We came on a rainy day, so the kids were offered blankets and the amazing staff moved the heaters for us!Some amazing staff that helped us included Jen and Dan! Thank you!!!!Dietary restrictions: Clearly labeled vegan and gluten free options.Kid-friendliness: They are very kid-friendly here.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp and no stairs.“
“First time here at this restaurant taste of food was greatService was mediocre we order a 300 dollar bottle wine and the sommelier or server never refills or checks on usWe understand that is a busy property by for the price of everything services areMediocrely“
“Cute little place! Food was quite good. Not as many local wine options, but still good! Crispy rice was pretty good as well as the butter beans. Salad and bread were amazing!!! Best bread and olive oil I’ve ever had, as simple as they are.“
“This place is fantastic. Upon entering you are greeted with smiles and the aroma of the food is out of this world. Everything on the menu is delicious and I am speaking from experience. The outdoor patio is beautiful and the ambiance is just perfect. You can grab a coffee to go but I highly recommend staying for the food and the experience.“
“A culinary event. Sante at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa provides an exceptional culinary experience with a focus on seasonal ingredients sourced from regional producers. The attentive and personable service provided by Shea S., Forest, Johnathan, and Jeremy elevated the dining experience to a whole new level. From the delicious dishes to the warm hospitality and beautiful ambiance. Sante is a must-visit for food enthusiasts looking for a taste of Sonoma's finest offerings. Each dish is a masterpiece, skillfully crafted to perfection and presented like a culinary theater performance. We enjoyed: - - STARTERS: TSAR NICOULAI CAVIAR & CRISPS BUTTER LETTUCE SALAD SWEET POTATO RAVIOLI KOJI MARINATED QUAIL MAINS: MARY'S DRY AGED DUCK BREAST WILD BLACK COD FLANNERY BEEF HANGAR STEAK 24oz PAINTED HILLS PRIME BONE-IN RIBEYE SIDES: DOUBLE GARLIC MASHED POTATOES GRILLED BROCCOLINI DESERTS: Baklava Citrus Cheesecake PB&J Crème Brûlée Spiced Apple Crisp Chocolate & Apricot Sacher Torte“
“Far and away my favorite lunch spot! Not only is the staff phenomenal, they are mindful of the dietary restrictions of each guest AND attentive. The food is amazing and gluten free friendly! I can't remember the last time I had a hamburger and fries as a Gluten Free eater! I have missed this and was shocked they offered both GF buns and made their fries in separate oil allowing them to be GF. I have spent my last two birthdays there since I love it SO much and d I will always go back. The owners, the staff and the food is fantastic. One last tip, do yourself a favor and order the Brussel Sprout appetizer and WHATEVER season soup they offer.....DELICIOUS!“
“Kivelstadt was the highlight of our wine country trip. This is a hidden gem with unique, interesting, well-made wines and delicious seasonal farm to table bites from the attached restaurant. Tori who lead our tasting was very knowledgeable about the wines but also geeked out with us about all the birds visiting the feeders nearby. The vibe is very much like hanging out in the back yard with your friends, except your friends also happen to make really good wine and really good food (but like, they're super low key about both). Kivelstadt had been on my list for years but I had never gotten around to it because it's a little out of the way; Turns out it's absolutely worth making the time for.“
“Omg the stuffed artichoke and fish tacos here are Devine. We came when it was very busy but managed to get a seat quickly. We stopped at the bar first and were able to get some drinks from an awesome and quick bar tender. Our party visited 3 times in our 4 day vacation to Sonoma so you could say we liked it. The bathrooms are very nice and clean and it wasn’t a super far walk from the square if you are hoping to avoid an Uber.Vegetarian options: The artichoke is to die for. They have an excellent menu.Parking: There is a lot of different kinds of parking around. Even though the place was packed there was lots of street parking around. I believe lots of people walk.“
“Goodness gracious, how have you redeemed yourself Lou's! Amazing, delicious and comforting food! I enjoyed every single bite! I had to take back to work, but man would I have loved to have eaten on-site. I ordered the two-burn with a side of slaw. Such a different take to the coleslaw! Very flavorful fried chicken! Such a great atmosphere, and customer service by the staff! I would LOVE to come back again!“
“Food was so delicious!! We had their special Western Fried Chicken Sandwich. Flavor was on point and chicken was juicy and didn't have to much breading. Also got a coffee shake the flavor was great but I was hoping for more of a thick shake. Staff was super friendly and we got our food fairly quickly since they were very busy. We are so glad we finally stopped by but sad it was their last day opened. Prices are reasonable for the price of food these days.“
“Cozy, quaint, and comfortable. I knew it would be a positive experience when Aneta welcomed me warmly and continued to provide friendly attentive service despite being extremely busy. She was very helpful with both food and wine recommendations which turned out to be spot on! A delicious salmon dinner and satisfying wine in good company. Highly recommended!“
“This Black Bear Diner is a hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and cozy atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. The menu is extensive, offering a wide variety of delicious comfort foods. I highly recommend trying their signature burgers, a must-try! The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Black Bear Diner is sure to satisfy your cravings. I can't wait to go back!“
“My friend and I enjoyed a Birthday Celebration last night at Layla. I ordered the scallops and was shocked at how flavorful they were - I believe they were the best scallops I have ever had! They service was spot on - and very welcoming. Can't wait for my next visit to Layla.“
“The staff and owners are great! The food is fabulous, I really think the cod sandwich is a true standout. Tuesday night is locals night, with no corkage fees. It's fabulous in the summer, but cozy even now, they have tons of heat lamps! They have now added options of multiple sides with burger, sandwiches. Dog friendly as well! My new fave place!“
“A small charming restaurant just off the Sonoma square, this lived up to the hype of being on the Michelin list.Upon entering, check out the chalkboard specials - we ended up ordering three dishes from it.Everything was amazing - fresh ingredients, bold flavors. Particular favorite was the scallop, salmon, and uni starter served with daikon radish and micro greens in a light ponzu sauce.The vegetarian risotto was one of the best I’ve tasted, and I almost always order risotto if it’s on the menu. It was the perfect texture, and I would describe it as fresh tasting.Our server recommended the yuzu cheesecake, and it did not disappoint. In hindsight, we should have ordered two.“
