Truly exceptional. Food was inspired and delicious. Creative without being pretentious, and perfectly portioned. Service was great, without being cloying or obsequious. Love their connection to the farm, and their access to a plethora of fresh ingredients showed. Wine pairing was also very well done, and I was happy that every course was thoughtfully paired with a unique wine. And learned about a new wine Stone Edge, which was also fabulous. Have had a hard time finding it for purchase through, likely a testament to it’s quality. Would definitely recommend and they certainly earned their recent 2nd Michelin star.

Growing up in Sonoma and we never had a fine dining restaurant that's anywhere close to what Enclos offers. Luckily we got our reservation ahead of the newly awarded Michilen stars! Atmosphere was exquisite, the food was all a work of art, seasonal and mind blowing, and the staff was next level. It was definitely an experience of a lifetime, and its so cool that all of this is right in the heart our beloved Sonoma.

Wow! This was an absolutely incredible experience and the highlight of my Sonoma trip! Every single dish was a work of art and full of flavor. The whole experience was so much fun between the cool table-side presentations, fun service team, gorgeous restaurant, and world class food. The gougère was quite the opening bite and really set the tone for this amazing meal. The lobster tart was perfection and definitely one of my favorites of the night. The fermented rutabaga bread pudding was unlike anything i've had before. The spot prawns were so soft, they literally melted in my mouth. The clam chowder custard was such a fun elevated take on a classic dish, it was one of my groups favorites. But the star of the show was definitely their 60 day dry aged bluefin tuna course, it blew my mind and was one of my favorites dishes of all time. I was so sad when i finished my bowl. Another highlight of the meal was their lamb, it didn't taste gamey at all. The smoked lamb rib on the side was jaw dropping and i'll be thinking about it for a while. The service was wonderful, not stuffy at all, yet still very professional and high level. By the end of the night i was stuffed, so don't worry about leaving hungry. Enclos is such a special place and i'll be thinking about this meal for a long time.

Top 3 from around the world. What incredible chefs they have and such amazing local ingredient purveyors. Can't speak highly enough and that goes for the wine pairing by the sommelier as well. Worth every minute and penny.

If you are reading reviews, just stop. Fantastic Michelin caliber experience.
The food is fantastic. Fun blend of California and Japanese cuisine. The staff are so above and beyond. They are all incredible. Just go, drink from a killer wine list (bonus points for the immaculate sake list), enjoy amazing food, and relax. No notes. ❤️

This place is really something special. My parents gifted my husband and I dinner here for our first anniversary and had been talking it up for months (to the point that I thought it had to be overrated). Not so. The chef, Brian Limoges, is a genius and an artist. Somehow every single bite was THE perfect bite.
Enclos is refreshingly free of everything that makes fine dining pretentious and stuffy: the music at the restaurant is fun, the waiters are attentive but don't hover, the portions (both of food and wine) are extremely generous, Ian (their beverage manager) talks about wine in such a fun and accessible way, Larry (the dining room manager) hand draws beautiful little sketches for every table.
I think this will easily be one of my favorite meals of my life!

We had a lovely dining experience at Enclos; the food was inventive and the flavors blended very well together. The staff was very engaging, they took the time to answer our questions and make our experience truly memorable.
We recently dined at French Laundry and there is no comparison. Enclos is a cut above in terms of food, service and atmosphere.

Tried to get into French Laundry… but turns out, Plan B was actually Plan A+!
Enclos in Sonoma has only been open 6 months and served us the best meal of our lives.
No question it’s Michelin-level food, top-tier service, and ambiance so good we are trying to get in one more time before heading home.
Food, service, ambiance are one thing. But ask any of the servers a question about the meal preparation, and they have a breadth of knowledge about what goes into making every single dish. The stemware? We literally ordered it for home. Top top notch!
Run, don’t walk.
Congratulations Chef Brian and team. You’re doing one hell of a job!

We were a group of 6 and it was unanimous we will all return! The 10+ courses from preparation, presentation, flavors and creative use of ingredients delighted our palates; all team members were engaging and elevated the overall experience; the ambiance and decor are modern yet cozy, plus the acoustics are that you can hear one another; and, the attention to details truly make Enclos an overall wonderful experience. We read all the media/press and reviews beforehand and had high expectations: the team at Enclos surpassed them.
As 40 year residents of Sonoma, we have long enjoyed dining out at an array of fine restaurants. Last night, we experienced the most unique Sonoma dining experience ever. Chef Brian's array of creative delights were amazing, while the service was impeccable. This restaurant's tasting menu and wine pairing experience compares favorably to Single Thread and Cyrus. It will, no doubt, become one of the best restaurants in the entire Bay Area.

What a magical and delicious experience. The service was impeccable , but warm. Each course was perfectly crafted and a visual delight. The Sommelier was the perfect captain to guide our journey of pairing wines to food. The women on the waitstaff were fantastic, very professional , but actually felt cared for . My companions had food allergies and those were addressed with true clinical concern . Wishes the best success for this new venue

Absolutely amazing dining experience. So happy our small town of Sonoma has a high end luxury dining restaurant. The ambiance, food, service, wine are all amazing. Melissa made the whole event special with her warm welcome and friendly service. All of the dishes were delicious, but you absolutely have to try the caviar. If you are lucky enough to dine here you won’t be disappointed.

By far the best meal of my life. Wine collectors lounge is amazingly comfortable and classy. Short ribs to die for, woke up craving more. Incredible cool servers and hosts. It’s just TOO much to Explain- go visit! You’re in for an evening to remember in the very best way!
