50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Sonoma

“The falafel wrap was absolutely delicious.🤤“

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

“LaSalette was a fantastic experience. The restaurant is beautiful both inside and outside, with a warm, charming atmosphere that’s perfect for a date or a small family gathering. I came on a Thursday evening, and it had a relaxed, welcoming vibe.

I ordered the Portuguese-style chicken with Spanish rice, and it was delicious. The flavors were authentic, well balanced, and the portion was just right.

The staff were kind, attentive, and professional throughout the meal. I highly recommend LaSalette if you’re visiting Sonoma and looking for a memorable dining experience.“

“Three Fat Guys is a Gem!! We are Packer Fans and our local winery (Red&White wine bar in Waunakee WI) recommended we go see them on our trip. What a Great decision. We were greeted by Jim McMahon (Yes that's right, not the bear though) He's the winemaker and has been doing it for over 25 years. The back patio area is very causal and comfortable for many people. Jim presented us many wines all very good. Our favorites were the Old Rail Cab, Lineman and the Sauv Blanc. Wines are reasonably priced, staff is great. Definitely a recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Steuart's bagels are the bomb“

“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.“

“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.“

“We had an incredible wine-tasting experience at Walt’s in Sonoma, and so much of that was thanks to our wonderful host, Debbi.

Debbi was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines and took the time to explain everything in a way that was interesting, approachable, and easy to understand. She was friendly, warm, and exceptionally patient, never making us feel rushed as we tasted and asked questions.

What really stood out was how attentive she was to what we liked. She offered thoughtful suggestions based on our questions and preferences, and she even went above and beyond by recommending some great options for dinner in the area.

Debbi made the entire experience feel personal rather than just another wine tasting. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine hospitality made our visit truly memorable. We would absolutely recommend Walt’s, and if you have the opportunity to taste with Debbi, you’re in for a fantastic experience!

Thank you, Debbi, for making our Sonoma visit even more special!“

“We had a great time here. The wine was great, the art, decor and music were awesome. But our host Brian was particularly special. We thoroughly enjoyed his hospitality and recommendations for our time in Sonoma. Thank you…for a real good time. 🎶“

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

“We came here last minute on our anniversary wine tour and they welcomed us with open arms. The wine, atmosphere, pizza and service were excellent. Christian was serving us and did a phenomenal job. The entire experience was outstanding and we highly recommend. The sparkling was a nice surprise as well.“

“Lou's Luncheonette in Sonoma nails the exact diner vibe you’d expect, and the food is absolutely delicious. The smash burger was phenomenal, my only regret is that I didn't order more of it! The fried chicken and biscuits were amazing too, and the fries made for a really nice pairing with everything. You definitely need to sit outside to maximize your day out in Sonoma. It’s a great setup, and you even get to watch the nearby goats hang out while you eat. This is the perfect spot for a casual, tasty meal!“

“My wife and I have been to Schug several times over the past 10-15 years: it's a must-visit winery whenever we're in Sonoma.

If we go with friends we usually get a tasting. The tasting room is small but comfortable. If you do a cave tour you'll enjoy one of several spacious tasting rooms scattered throughout the cave. Whether it's unreasonably cold outside or scorching hot, the cave is always a comfortable temperature.

If it's just the two of us we usually grab a bottle and hang out under the trellis outside one of the cave entrances. It's a gorgeous setting and the trellis provides just enough protection from the sun that you can comfortably enjoy the outdoors and the beautiful scenery.

They are known for their pinots, but we like their chards just as much. It's an absolutely wonderful place to visit with friendly and genuinely good-hearted people working there.

On this visit we brought our adult children for their first Sonoma wine tasting! Theresa gave them an experience they'll never forget. It was like she was a part of the family. The conversation was so enjoyable we had to delay our next winery tour; we just couldn't walk away. Thank you Theresa!“

“We stayed at the Lodge at Sonoma for my son’s wedding. My son invited me to breakfast here for bottomless mimosas and an amazing breakfast. Loved the Hispanic flair on the breakfast options. Delicious. Also stopped for some appetizers in the afternoon and they were very good. Staff was very friendly and attentive.“

“Thank you for hosting me and my cousin with such wonderful hospitality ! We loved relaxing in the beautiful and welcoming garden. With so many brilliant and delicious wines to taste ! The food is excellent, the wines are delicious with interesting choices, the garden is beautiful and welcoming and the people putting it all together are the best part of it all ! Thank you !!!“

“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!“

“Been here a couple times and each time was a lovely time. My friend invites us here and he puts together a brunch in the picnic area which is a pretty cool setup. And the Nicholson Ranch is such a beautiful property. And has great views.

I couldn’t tell you about if they served food or anything because each time we visited we would first do picnic brunch then wine taste. The wine is also lovely. They have great selection of wine but I loved the Pinot Noirs.

The service is awesome. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. I don’t know if our wine pourer was a sommelier but she had lots of stories about wine and the Ranch. Forgive me I didn’t write her name down but she was very nice and can keep great conversation.“

“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!“

“i loved the outdoor seating giving a rustic bar feel under the trees. the food comes from good local farms and i would suggest them to stop using seed oils for frying and cooking. it’s toxic. causes diabetes. they could also make the bread with a 3 day cold ferment that will remove all the sugars so there’s no spike in your sugar and insulin. just some health tips.“

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

“Awesome tasting experience. Great wines“

“A gem!
You can tell all the baked goods are fresh and tasty. The menu is smaller but the items on it are done well.
The place is quaint, the staff and service are so friendly, warm and accommodating. There’s a back patio which is nice and offers room for some bigger groups.
I took home a small baguette which was quite good.“

“Yum! Better than Starbucks!“

“Really nice place , good food“

“really good.. very friendly“

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

“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!“

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

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

“We had a fantastic meal and dining experience at Shige! It's somewhat of a hole-in-the-wall place in a shopping center, but my fiance and I agreed it's the best sushi we've had in NorCal!! We tried the Redwood, Crunchy, Eel Bomb, and Dragon rolls and they were all fresh and delicious. My fiance said their karaage is the best he's ever had! We'll be back 💕“

“There are wineries you visit, and then there are wineries you experience—and this is firmly the latter.
From the moment you arrive, the setting invites you to slow down and take it all in.

They offer exceptional private tours and thoughtfully curated tasting options, along with a variety of seating areas that let you fully appreciate the surrounding beauty.

For the full experience, I recommend picking up a charcuterie basket and a bottle of wine, then heading out to their private trail. At the top of the hill, you’ll find a peaceful picnic area overlooking a serene pond and endless rows of vines stretching across the rolling hills.

I found the perfect spot overlooking the water, with the vineyard unfolding in every direction. A soft breeze, a slightly warm day, my favourite music playing quietly in the background—it felt effortless and complete, just a simple table, a bottle of wine, and a moment that stayed with me.

This is one of those places you don’t just visit—you feel it. Go, and you’ll understand exactly what I mean.“

“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!!“

“The food is absolutely delicious my friend recommended it and I do not regret his taste in food whatsoever, never have , The service is so nice so polite and make it just the way you want it, a shame it's only in Fresno for now, I really hope you guys end up coming to Madera more often we would love a stand like this here.
Keep up the good work
It's a 5 Star for me thank you guys
Peace and blessings 🕊️“

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

“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.“

“Really lovely, calm, beautiful, scenic winery. Staff were are very nice and helpful. Lovely relaxed vibes on a weekday afternoon. Lovely wine but would come just for the level setting even if you weren’t a big wine fan. Would highly suggest, out of all the wineries we went to this was defiantly the best experience we had!!“

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

“⭐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 🙌🙌🔥🔥💯⭐“

“Thank you to Sonja and Jack for an amazing afternoon on Saturday. We were a large party but Jack was right on it!! Not only can he make an amazing craft cocktail, he’s one hello of a DJ! Thanks for sharing your playlist with us, it’s a fan fav!!“

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

“The food at this taco truck is honestly really good — the tacos are flavorful, fresh, and definitely worth trying. However, the customer service really needs improvement. The girl who takes the orders is quite rude and doesn’t make you feel welcome at all. It’s disappointing because the food is great, but the experience is affected by the attitude. I would still come back for the tacos, but I hope they improve how they treat customers.“

“Delicious Mothers Day Brunch!“

“Sat outside, fun atmosphere and delicious drinks! Food was also super yummy!“

“The many times I have spent a special occassion, Viansa never fails to make it another memorable one.
We celebrated my grand-daughter 21st birthday ! She enjoyed it and picked her fave wine.
Thank you Viansa for making it special and a truly Thank You to our host, Jimena (gosh I hope this is her name and I didnt butcher the spelling) She is a wonderful host. I love how we started our celebration toasting to a glass of Prosecco !
Thank you again !!!!!“

“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“

“My husband and I loved our tasting with Katy. She truly is a master vintner. Thank you for a memorable afternoon!!“

“Sauvignon Blanc is so tasty! Chilled with some good nibbles on a warm afternoon, lovely.
The hiking trail on the estate is 1.5hr. good hump up and down the hills and through the valleys. You'll be hungry and thirsty when you finish and may go directly on the wine. We loved the whole place. Our favorite in Sonoma.“
