The 3 star review is a direct reflection of the overall experience, average. Our bill for (2) came out to $160 but the food, and custom service were comparable to eating at Outback Steakhouse. Upon getting to the restaurant, there was no valet service not a big deal, but finding street parking is always a challenge. We were seating promptly for our reservation by a very hospitable host. After being seated, there was no introduction to the menu, any specials, our recommended wines- which was probably most disappointing since it is a wine bar. The waiter recommended the mixed green salad, which was no more than a mixed green bag of salad that you can purchase at the local grocery store with ch...
2nd time I 've been to Sonoma and I really like the food. Although I have to say the mussels I had the first time were outstanding. I had the fish most recently and while very good it was considerably more expensive and didn 't give me that outstanding experience as the mussels had. Otherwise I think the food is extremely good. One thing I don 't like is they don 't offer bread unless you pay for it $5 for foccacia. It is a really great little restaurant and great for pre theatre when going to Shakespeare theatre.
We visited during restaurant week and found it to be a great deal, but I probably wouldn’t choose this restaurant under normal circumstances. The food seemed definitely overpriced, and there are many other places with better, comparable options. Unfortunately, the service was lacking as well. The pizza was just average, at best. However, we really enjoyed the $20 bottle of wine offered for restaurant week, which was definitely a highlight of our visit.
I hadn't been to this restaurant in years, but I joined some friends for dinner the weekend after Thanksgiving and had a wonderful experience. We tried the rosé and red wine flights, enjoying the unique flavors of each selection. The food was fantastic; we shared the gnocchi, pan-seared salmon, and chicken piccata panini, all of which were delicious. I highly recommend visiting! They also have a private event space on the second floor.

We had the Valentine’s tasting menu right before going to the Folger Shakespeare theater. The service was great, and they got us out in plenty of time to make our show. The foie gras appetizer was delicious, and the chocolate dessert was divine, however, the duck was lackluster. The skin needed to be crisper, and the fat wasn't quite rendered enough. All in all, however, it was enjoyable.
Service was very slow and awkward. It took us 15 minute to get four glasses of wine. We were not guided through the menu and/or recommended ordering structure. Size of cheese and charcuterie portions were grossly inflated by server so we ended up with less than we wanted. Cheeses were very cold (should be tempered). Pastas were mediocre at best.
Delicious food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere, even with just a few tables occupied due to restrictions.
Beet salad was very unusual... tasted like tomatoes...very disappointed! Fish was ok!
