Our hosts brought us here as they said it was their favorite. And I can see why. The first word that comes to mind to describe it is fresh.
You look at the menu and you want one of everything, which is kind of what you do. They have small plates which lend themselves to be shared. We were lucky enough to have our hosts’ guidance on what to get.
Our order:
XO egg- a delicious deviled egg with some sort of meat on top. A MUST
Tomato Toast: sounds lame but the show stopper of the day! It comes piled high with tomatoes on the best bread. I could have had 5 orders of it alone.
Poblano dip: this was tasty and good to share.
Lettuces with green goodness and seeds: decent portion, super fresh, and surprisingly satisfying
Crispy rice with ginger sauce: you will order it, you will LOVE it. Goes good with any entree.
Black Cod: surprisingly the best protein we had. Burst of good solid flavor.
Greek lamb: not our favorite as it felt one note but not bad by any means.
Usually you are in a bad place if you say you are in a valley but this Valley transports you to a better place. Not only with the food but also the service. It felt like all their employees helped us in some way. It felt like a community feel!!
Go experience this place for yourself! It is on the Michelle’s Guide for a reason!

Ordered 2 American breakfast w coffee. That came w baked potatoes, bacon, & eggs. We had to ask for condiments instead of just being available at the table. Food was BASIC nothing out of the ordinary. The coffee was good. Service could've been a lot better honestly. Won't recommend or return here again.

Fantastic dining experience, walked in on a Sunday evening and got a couple seats at the bar. Favorites were the halibut ceviche and chocolate mousse, but everything was above expectations.

The heirloom tomato toast might be the best thing I’ve eaten this year, and it’s late August

We had an outstanding lunch here. The atmosphere was great as we dined next to someone arranging fresh flower bouquets in the outdoor dining area. We had the fruit and ricotta, the quinoa and the hippie salad and they were all fresh and delicious. It was easy to get a table and the service was good. Great location in Sonoma Plaza.

Another great spot in Sonoma. Got a Michelin Star few years back. I can see why.

The bun on the Fried green tomato sandwich was perfect. The slice of green tomato just a tad too thick and not quite fried, but delicious nonetheless . The French toast was excellent. The blanched and fried potatoes with aioli were delicious.

We came here for dinner and it was a Wembly experience on the back patio. Service was excellent and the small plates work out great for us. We started with the deviled eggs which you only get two in an order so for four people it’s basically 1/2 of an egg each. It was tasty though. The wine we chose was great and the meal was overall very flavorful. It’s right on the square in Sonoma, so it is a great location. Overall, a good experience.

We were a party of 3 people. We were told that the menu options were designed to be shared along with 3 small plate options. The appetizers and salad were so small we each had a tablespoon of food. The XO egg was 1 egg for the price of a dozen. We did order a main dish along with 2 appetizers and a salad and a side dish but the portions were not suitable for sharing. When we sat down there were bread size plates on the table. We were never brought dinner size plates for the meal. The patio was comfortable and relaxed but I thought it was not appropriate that my server was wearing 'short' shorts. Her apron fell much longer than her shorts but for the price of this meal I expected more overall. I would probably not return for this dining experience.
What a cool little lunch spot! They also offer brunch and dinner, but we went for lunch on a weekday as while their menu is very limited for lunch, they still had items we loved. Their special was a panko breaded chicken breast over a salad with ranch and it was really tasty. Their hippie salad is very popular, as we saw many tables (including ours) with it. The staff was friendly and the setting is quaint and nice. We sat in their outside, back patio area, it was quite large and shaded, so we were comfy.
Also appears they are Michelin rated, based on the sign out front when we walked in. We’d definitely return and it’s a place that people visiting should try!
