50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Sonoma

“Wonderful food, great ambiance, and attentive service! If you can get a reservation here I highly recommend it. We had the Bacalhau no Forno, Caldeirada Portuguese Fisherman’s Stew, Feijoada, and Alcatra Portuguese Pot Roast. Every dish was amazing, and the dinner was our favorite for our time in Sonoma. They offer red and white wine flights, as well as port flights for after dinner. The desserts are tasty too.“

“Arrived at 8:55am on a monday, no issues parking for lodge residents, unsure for guests though. Was immediately seated

Food was great, ordered a few angus steak & egg combos, a mushroom omelet, and a couple of guacamole toasts. Steak was cooked nicely.

Service was solid, was checked on a few times.

Atmosphere was great, no overbearing music and good for conversations for a group of people.“

“Excellent food, atmosphere and great place to eat before wine tasting! ❤️“

“The falafel wrap was absolutely delicious.🤤“

“Wonderful experience from start to finish. The wine was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service truly stood out. A special shoutout to Boob - friendly, knowledgeable, and made the visit memorable. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The best winery in California! I would like to thank Don for making the visit spectacular he went out the way to greet us and he was so friendly. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to taste wine and check out the founder and history of wine in the US it’s very intresting.“

“They have the best coffee and treats! Highly recommend.“

“Down to earth setting, casual and relaxing allowing for a great place to sit, enjoy wine and have a conversation. The Merlot is by far my favorite. As it has plenty of character, and an amazing finish.“

“Came from Maine to visit family. Ate this breakfast alone. Staff was attentive and friendly. Hash browns had a Tblsp. of chopped raw onion and peppers added, which really elevated this homely dish quite nicely. Very happy with the breakfast at a reasonable price.“

“Our favourite stop on our Sonoma wine tour! Jesse was pouring for us, and he was such a fantastic host. Friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience so much fun. We absolutely loved all the bubbles, and every wine we tried was incredible. Walt Wines is a must-visit! I highly recommend stopping in for a tasting, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Another winery recommended we visit this winery in Sonoma because of it's story, culture, and quality. Six of us did and it did not dissappoint. Jimmy did a wonderful job of sharing the family history, as well as the history of the winery. He also recommended great wines for us to sample and consider for purchase. I'm glad we availed ourselves to learning about how our Mexican brothers worked the fields, learned the business and became and expert, purchased land, started his on winery, and served two U.S. Presidents (Obama and Bush) and the California Gov (Swarzenegger). Oh, the wine is GREAT!“

“We visited Anaba in October and the tasting room was filled with pumpkins, gourds and beautiful fall colors. I did the tasting of their Pinot Noirs and what a delightful experience. It was such a lovely and relaxing experience. I had time to taste and contrast the 5 Pinots in my flight. I ordered 6 bottles and I am sure I will order more. Thanks Anaba for such a fun time.“

“These wines always impress. Canned white or rosé? The answer is always yes. Three liter box for any celebration or gathering? Definitely. The people behind the label are as complex and authentic as the wines. Oh and the tasting room vibe is worth a visit on its own (IYKYK). Do yourself a favor: make an appointment to taste through the wines with Tristan and be transported.“

“Schug Winery was our favorite. Made a reservation for the wine tasting in their cave. It was awesome walking into the cave which opens to a chandelier room very elegant with a great table. Various wines were poured and tasted. Exceptional wines at this winery. We bought a case. I highly recommend this winery for the tour and the wine!“

“Steuart's bagels are the bomb“

“Yum! Better than Starbucks!“

“Kiv is a total find. The front looks a little rough when you pull up…then you step through and it opens into this unexpected backyard oasis. Big shade umbrellas, fire pits, quiet corners — the kind of spot you settle into for hours.

The wines are fantastic and very reasonably priced. Father’s Watch (pictured) might be one of the best blends anywhere — balanced, silky, and way better than its price point suggests. They’re also working with some rare and hard-to-find varietals, which makes each flight feel different than the usual Sonoma lineup.

The chicken and ricotta bites? Absolute knockout. One of those dishes you order “just to try” and immediately wish you’d doubled.

Service is relaxed but sharp, the atmosphere is great, and there’s a wonderful restaurant next door. Location is solid, but you could easily drive past the humble storefront — don’t.

A+ winery. Total gem.“

“We had a wonderful lunch with a delicious wine recommended by the owner. We all thoroughly enjoyed our selections and the appetizers beforehand. Desserts were delicious, and we enjoyed wonderful classic cocktails at the bar to complete our experience. Highly recommend The Swiss!“

“If you want great food, go to Sonoma Eats Real Mexican. Everything is delicious, the service is excellent and friendly. I haven’t missed a week in years.“

“Sheana & Ben are simply amazing. First thing when they greet you at the door is with a refreshing beverage. This has been one of the best adventures we have done in Sonoma. We learned how to make ricotta and butter ! Sheana & Ben were so polite and personable. If you’re ever in Sonoma, this is a must do!“

“really good.. very friendly“

“This is our favorite spot in Sonoma. We live on the east coast and visit every fall. Of course we are part of the wine club! Not only is their wine fantastic but they also go above and beyond in showing hospitality. It’s special here. This is a small, family run winery. Deepak (owner, winemaker) is always there to say hello and chat and makes you feel so welcome. On this most recent trip, our friends who were also visiting CA joined us for a first time visit to Nicholson Ranch, and Jessi knocked it out of the park. She provided a lovely educational tasting experience and cave tour which included both Nicholson and Gulrajani wines, followed by some ‘heavy snacks’ (try the burrata with pistachio, it was amazing) … oh… and a lot of laughs. A great time was had by all. We will always come back.“

“I stopped at Bloom Carneros for lunch while my guests were out wine tasting, and it turned out to be a great find. I ordered the baby back ribs and overall the meal was very good. The kung pao sauce leaned a bit on the familiar side flavor-wise, but still paired nicely with the dish. The fries were extra crispy, which if that is your thing (and it definitely is mine), you will love them.

The staff was warm and friendly, and the whole spot has an interesting, almost hidden feel. It is the kind of place you might only know about if you are local or if someone told you to exit off Sonoma Highway. The outdoor area has a relaxed picnic-style vibe that really makes it stand out.

I look forward to stopping here again in the future and trying more of their menu.“

“Really nice place , good food“

“My sweetie and I stopped by for the yummy wine and the overall lovely views! We were not disappointed!“

“Great food,great service and unbeatable prices. Every item on the menu is a five star. Good selection of wines and cocktails.“

“really good and tasty food, live music on Saturday night, vegan friendly ❤️“

“Great simple place to drink - eat - and talk with neighbors! Check it out!“

“The owner, Chris, is incredibly knowledgeable and always fun to talk to. Last week was my third tasting there and each time the service and wines have been excellent! Highly recommend!“

“I had a wonderful afternoon here. I didn't know what to taste, so I was guided by Kim who was so helpful and gave me a great tasting experience! The courtyard is beautiful with olive and lemon trees, just lovely. I highly recommend this winery experience!“

“Great place to visit Great wine and food ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“I liked foods here that I don’t like normally at all. The servers are friendly and accommodating to everything we asked for.“

“LOVE! The damn cutest little lunch spot there ever was and affordable as hell, definitely worth the stop or the trip! I like getting the Chicken Biscuit #1 or #2 for just $6 and so delicious(those prices are unheard of) ,the service is always great and the space is super photogenic, (looks great on the gram!) hella recommend !!!“

“Absolutely one of the best wineries in Sonoma🍷 If you like Cabernet this is the place! Just off the Sonoma square, ask for Mark, he makes you feel like old friends!!!“

“Went to an event here and got to meet the brewers and beer tenders and it was an amazing experience rounded out by delicious beer. The friendly staff will lead you to their great selections based on the style of beer you like. A fun crew and great beer! Visit Sonoma Springs Brewing soon if you haven't had a chance!! Also excited to find them at our local supermarkets in Santa Rosa!!“

“Just picked up dinner. Today, 4/22/25, pork picadillo stuffed poblano chili's, street corn salad with cotija tomatoes, romaine & creamy cilantro dressing.
OUTSTANDING! Delicious poblano chili flavor, quite mild.
I'll keep an eye out for when it comes around again!“

“The wine doesn't taste good.
Probably because of European Italian wine, the taste is very bland, without layers, and very dry.
Except for the first glass of sparkling rose, which was okay, the rest of the red was not good.“

“Amazing breakfast! I highly recommend the French toast and chilaquiles“

“Delicious food with a comfortable neighborhood vibe.“

“Small and cute cafe with limited menu. The high point is the bacon!!! Maybe the best I've ever had. I will intentionally stop by when randomly in the area wine tasting. The brioche donut is also a yummy highlight with Nutella or raspberry filling. Do yourself a favor and get the Nutella and then a side of raspberry jam to dip it in!!!!“

“Our favorite stop out of 5 days in Sonoma/Napa! We enjoyed the wine here more than any of the high dollar, fancy vineyards we visited!

Great wines, great setting, and a very friendly host!

Personal favorites were the 2021 Merlot from Pickberry Vyd and the 2019 Cab Sav, but it’s a hard pick because everything was fantastic.“

“Best tacos in Sonoma county! My personal favorite is ordering chicken tacos with al pastor salsa, but you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. They are doing everything right in their kitchen. I recommend checking their instagram to see where they’ll be at for the week. And don’t forget the potatoes and onions!“

“We had a wonderful dining experience there last night! Service, food and atmosphere were on point! We were celebrating a belated birthday and they surprised us with strawberry emoji and whipped cream for the birthday girl. Overall wonderful experience ✨“

“Delicious food, great for taking photos and relaxing, relaxed atmosphere“

“Tom Was amazing! This was our first tasting on our first day in Sonoma and he made sure we were taken care of. He was also helpful with dining in the area. The outside patio was a great casual vibe and I would definitely recommend this place for any wine enthusiast!“

“Delicious Mothers Day Brunch!“

“We did a Groupon for the Sampler Tasting at Roger Roessler Wines while we were in the Sonoma/Napa area. Aaron and I had a great time. Ethan was the gentleman that did our tasting. He made it such a great experience. In fact, Aaron told him I usually don’t buy wine at tastings and I ended up buying 6 bottles. If you are in the area, Groupon or not, please reserve your wine tasting here, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Dermot Kohl and his staff are very friendly and. Welcoming. Great beer. Excellent for from a former San Francisco Chef. An all around excellent place just step off the square in Downtown Sonoma“

“This review is specifically for Charlie. He is such a gem of a person and we were so lucky that he was the one doing our tasting because it took our already 5 star experience to a 10. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the vineyard and the wine. It was such an actual joy to listen to him speak about each wine and with such detail cause you could really tell that he cares about the vineyard but also the experience of the customer. The wine was also incredible and we ended up bringing back a lovely bottle of pinot noir back to New Jersey with us and will definitely be looking for this in our local stores. I highly recommend coming here to catch the sunset as it was stunning and felt like we were in a movie! I loved my experience here and would recommend this to anyone visiting, it was a true highlight for us during our stay. Thank you Charlie and go Eagles!“

“Visit this Winery in September, and book the private Gazebo, the staff here was friendly and our server was great and knowledgeable and was able to accommodate us, also they have the best charcuterie board set, a must get while you are here!“
