This place is amazing. The vibe was great, Sunday with live music and outside dinning. Food was delicious and paired well with the wines. Will be back for sure. See you soon Bloom.

Incredible wine, food and service!! We had the best time and best experience! Thank you so much!! The fried chicken bites were an awesome addition to absorb the wine ?
Had an amazing lunch at the bar. Our bartender Sean was incredible, food was delicious and we tasted a ton of wine. Even left with several bottles from the vineyard that were surprisingly pleasant. Highly recommend this gem we stumbled across.

I visited this place for Sunday lunch. Food is slightly above average, and comes with nice presentation. My favorite was the strawberry shortcake, which is also shown on their website. But I wish they had more variety on their main dishes since most of them were either sandwich/burger/tacos. Service was okay and the garden seating was decent. Overall, it's a nice place to dine when you visit Sonoma.

Nice place, inviting environment, very friendly and welcoming staff.
I am celiac and had a chat with the waiter about eating gluten free. He seemed knowledgeable and the menu was well-marked, but they still served me an item with gluten anyway without realizing it, (the fries, no dedicated fryer), and didn’t seem concerned some of them came out touching the burger. When they did bring out a substitute item for the fries, a salad, it was literally just lettuce. Not a single other vegetable, which felt pretty bootleg for such a high end place. (The dressing was fire though).
Also, the meal felt extremely rushed to our group, like they were trying to speed us out of there for the next wave of customers. Dessert menu came over before our plates were cleared, even though the restaurant wasn’t even full.
Finally, a lot of the reviews note this is kid friendly, and it definitely is. However, the playground is essentially just a tall slide with a ladder to climb up, so not ideal for smaller kiddos.

Atmosphere is fantastic and service is great. Food was honestly a bit disappointing. I had high hopes for the pork belly; about half the pieces were great and half were overcooked. The fried chicken bites and fried chicken sandwich are fantastic. And the Burrata was somewhat disappointing. Prices are ok (on the expensive end). Overall, would come back
We walked in around noon on a Sunday and jumped in line. There were two groups in front of us and one of them was grumbling about having to wait even though they had a reservation. I think this pointed mostly to the host who seemed to be pretty nonchalant about doing host things. We were seated and had a nice choice of in the sun or not. We chose not, as even though it was forecasted to be a nice (read 85 degree) day, the sun would make it a bit uncomfortable. There was a nice choice of seats, under the awning, under the umbrellas, even in the dappled sun under the trees. Sweet!
Maybe, for over $100 for lunch for two we were expecting fine dining, but this isn't it. It's nice dinning. It's a nice place. But the host won't pour you a glass of your $7 bottle of bubbly water- it's up to you. How nice. Our server made up for it, though, she was attentive and friendly.
But the food. Yeah, that is worth it... The sweet potato tacos (taquitos, really) that we shared were delicious. The halibut tacos special had some great flavor and my Mrs. reports that the beet salad was tops. Could there have been more beets in the salad and a bit more halibut in the tacos? Sure, but they were gooooood. So I'll overlook that. And we didn't leave hungry.
A small selection of good beer and wine rounds out the menu with a few deserts we chose not to sample.
Overall, I'd say it's an expensive lunch of great food and pretty good service. Just don't be in a hurry. They aren't either. (We weren't either.)
Be ready for dogs and barking and kids moving about quite a lot. There is a play structure in the corner.

A must for the best fresh fare around. Love the food and ambiance of this restaurant. It is also the tasting room for Kivelstad Cellars wines and if you don't know about these wines stop in. Their catalog is full of amazing bottles carefully crafted from the region's best fruit. The quality of the wines is so much better than most at double the cost.
Vegetarian options: Great options for vegetarians or pescatarians.
Discovered this delightful restaurant with its all outdoor dinning area. You can sit on the covered patio or at one of the tables in the garden. While limited, the wine selection was sufficiently diverse (local, France, Spain, etc). The service was personal and attentive. The food was very inventive (fish tacos with plum salsa !!!). Will definitely be biding here again for lunch.
