50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Sonoma

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

“My wife and I shared a salad, a scallop appetizer, Branzino (sea bass) and the dessert called caramel: bread pudding, flan and ice cream. The server was attentive, efficient and personable. The scallops were excellent as was the Branzino. The dessert was okay: flan and ice cream were good. The bread pudding was just okay. All in all, it was an excellent experience. GET the scallop appetizer!“

“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!!“

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

“Beautiful property. Very nice suite rooms. Recommend this hotel for a visit in Sonoma.“

“The Za'atar fries are my new comfort food! Today I discovered the lamb kofta and cucumber-yogurt salad; both are wonderful.“

“Our visit to Three Fat Guys Winery through Pushpak electric tricycle tours was absolutely lovely. The gal who guided our tasting was incredibly knowledgeable—not just about the wines themselves, but also about the vineyards, the microclimates, and the unique aspects of Sonoma that influence each vintage. It was fascinating to learn how the land and climate shape the flavors in the glass.

The experience felt intimate and personal. Tasting with someone who truly knew the wines—and clearly cared about their quality—made it feel special. We enjoyed charcuterie and snacks thoughtfully paired with the pours; the açai berry chocolates with a Pinot, in particular, brought out layers of flavor I’d never noticed before.

While the tasting itself is paid, there’s a great perk: if you purchase a higher-end bottle, you receive two tastings free. As if that weren’t enough, we had the lucky surprise of running into Tony Moll, one of the owners—like casually meeting a super chill celebrity neighbor.

Don’t miss this warm, welcoming gem of Sonoma wine country.“

“The owners are so nice and help as much as they can. The Cup of love has a impressive selection of food and practically any flavor for your coffeee, tea or smoothie.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This was an experience of a lifetime! Definitely the best wine tasting in my life so far. Bryan was amazing - he was extremely knowledgeable about wine but also such a nice person to talk to. We also had a chance to meet the owners - Phil and one of his sons - who stopped by. The wines were delicious and the reds were super rich in flavour. They mostly focus on French varieties and do both single varietal and blends. This is a small winery and they do put their soul into it. The tasting room is located in a small house and it’s so cozy and nicely decorated. I definitely recommend this experience and can only pray it doesn’t get touristic since I want to visit it over and over again“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely recommend this restaurant. Great food, best lattes, fun place and I love the owners. good people. Will always come to this restaurant. ❤❤❤“

“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!“

“Our experience at Anaba was one of the best I’ve had at a winery. The wine was incredible, each one better than the last but the service was the reason our visit was so special. Ben was knowledgeable, personable and overall a fantastic human & guide! Anaba thanks for having us, we will be back!“

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

“Steuart's bagels are the bomb“

“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!“

“Had a fantastic time here. The pinot noir selection was impressive, and the quality was exceptional. But what really made the experience stand out was the knowledge and expertise of the staff.

My host, Kyle, was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines, sharing fascinating insights into the vineyards, and the nuances of each varietal. It was clear that they were all passionate about the wines and eager to share that passion.

Left feeling educated, enlightened, and eager to return. If you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a great experience. Walt is a must-visit!“

“I am a bit delayed in posting this, but my partner and I delighted in the full tasting menu at Ram’s Gate. I’ve enjoyed many tastings throughout wine country and Ram’s Gate has one of the better, more elevated experiences at a reasonable price (if I may add)! I am not even a fan of carrots but the carrot risotto was one of my favorite courses. That should say a lot about the quality of food being delivered by culinary team here.

The property is beautiful and the staff was very friendly. We were greeted with bubbles while we waited for our reservation in the gorgeous courtyard. We even got some amazing local food recommendations from our server! I’d highly recommend and will definitely come back!“

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

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

“The wines were great, we bought some even after telling ourselves we were done buying wine on this trip. But being able to talk with the owner was even better. We had a great experience and hopefully will be back in Sonoma so we can visit again!“

“Very good food and service at reasonable prices. They sell Kivelstadt and other wines to take home at reasonable prices. They are kid friendly. It is better to reserve in advance because the parking was full when we went. When we left at 2 p.m. on a Friday, a guitar player started to play.“

“I am a hole-in-the-wall type of person because that is where the best food can be found. I was not disappointed with the Big Lou's Burger. I call them a grease burger, but that's just my way of saying that it is a juicy burger with lots of beefy flavor. This is obviously a popular burger barn by seeing all of the parking and seating available. It has been decades since I have been served my milk shake in a proper glass milk shake glass and also to have the remainder of the shake left on the counter for me in the mixing cup.“

“We had an amazing tasting experience with Andrew. He was able to accommodate a large group at short notice. The wines themselves were delicious - we took several bottles home. The merlot and pinot noir
were our favorites. Andrew’s commentary about the wines and his experiences in the industry kept us informed and entertained. The view from the top of the hill was gorgeous.“

“Yum! Better than Starbucks!“

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

“A must eat in Sonoma! The smaller storefront hides a nice patio in the back garden. The staff there are unbelievably kind and attentive. Our pastries and breakfast meals were wonderful! My husband ordered the breakfast burrito which was very substantial and I ordered the avocado toast which was super fresh! Will definitely be back again when visiting Sonoma!“

“really good.. very friendly“

“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.“

“love this brewery...always a blast with great beers“

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

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

“This place really blew us away. My wife really wanted champagne and caviar on New Year's Eve but we settled on this place.
They had Thomas Keller caviar which was amazing but the vodka cocktails were fantastic. Who knew you could have amazing vodka made from wine grapes?
Sonia was behind the bar and made us feel special even though the place was steadily getting busier while we were there. She really killed it and made the visit unique and spefual, even though it was a simple affair.
We joined their vodka club on a whim and don't regret it at all.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Delicious food with a comfortable neighborhood vibe.“

“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 ✨“

“Great tasting experience. Will surely return for more!“

“A perfectly charming lunch spot on the square in Sonoma! My wife and I shared the famous Fig & Arugula Salad (we always get this!) and a Cheese & Fruit plate. Both were delicious. The Rhône wine selections are a nice twist, as I was able to try a glass of Picpoul for the first time (a great alternative to the ubiquitous Sauvignon Blanc!), and finish off with the outstanding Pride Syrah.“

“Really nice place , good food“

“Must stop location! Kent and Lucy both helped make our time there very enjoyable.

Lucy greeted us as soon as we walked into the property, making us feel at home while Kent, our wine educator, prepared to show us around the property.

Kent is a phenomenal story teller and just a genuinely kind human being. Hearing the history of the property through his words was a great time.

After our tour, Lucy was very hospitable and helped us get set up with a cheese board (highly recommend) and a bottle of our favorite wine from the tour.

Both of these wonderful people made our time out at the winery very enjoyable and something we will look back fondly on.“

“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.“

“Daniel was an excellent choice for wine educator for my clients today ! They really enjoyed his information and the setting is exceptional ! Created by the former owners of Arrowood if you’re a fan of their wine, this is another step up if not two ! CHEERS !!!“

“If I could have given our experience more than 5 stars I would have. Their selection of wines is great and the different methods they use is so fun and interesting. Our server’s knowledge was such a help and she made it a great experience. Thanks to Tia for your help today and we look forward to our next visit.“

“We had a fantastic time at Roche Winery Downtown Sonoma. It's such a fun spot with a wonderful, laidback vibe, the perfect place to unwind after exploring the town. I was particularly impressed by the Longford Reserve Pinot Noir; it was truly delicious and a highlight of our visit. The experience was made even better by Mark, who was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He walked us through the wines and made us feel right at home. If you're in downtown Sonoma, you absolutely must drop in. We can't wait to go back!“

“⭐The chips & salsas are to die for and the burritos are absolutely screamin! The beers pretty good too☝️And they were able to offer takeout throughout covid!! A fav & delish local spot for us Sonomans 🙌🙌🔥🔥💯⭐“
