F'burg Foodie

While in Sonoma for a few nights we stopped in here for cocktails before having dinner elsewhere on a weeknight. The bar here was rather busy when we arrived, but we still got a couple of seats at the bar. Service was excellent at the bar, the bartender was very helpful and knowledgeable. They have a very nice wine list, flights, and a great cocktail program. The food we saw coming out looked great, but as I mentioned, we only went for drinks. Definitely would return!

Great wine bar that offers many nice small dishes, great wine flights and great service. We visited around lunch time and sat at one of the outdoor tables. Really enjoyed the food and the Samoma wine flight.

This was my wife, and my first trip to Willi’s. We were there for lunch and shared the pork ribs, arugula salad and the french fries—which were out of this world! For dessert we had the flourless chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse and chocolate sauce. Everything was wonderful and beyond our expectations. Laid-back and relaxed dining out on the patio and our waiter was totally low pressure but attentive.

Definitely 5 stars!!!! Part of the Stark's steak and seafood affiliate. Every single restaurant we have been to in affiliation is exceptional... Our order was the filet sliders, grilled asparagus, arugula & endive salad, and the warm skillet bread 😋😋😋😋 I forgot to take pictures before we started eating 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ but here they are

Wow. What a wonderful experience this evening at Willi’s. I’d originally had our reservation scheduled for the other Willi’s in Healdsberg but based on the recommendation of someone local, we decided to switch. I’m so glad we did. My family and I are staying in Healdsberg for the week but happily drove down to Santa Rosa for dinner for the evening. I kept telling my parents how great a place like this would do in our shore town in New Jersey. I absolutely loved it!!! All the food was fantastic, as was the service and the ambiance. Loved sitting outside and enjoying the gorgeous evening. All 3 of the different wine flights my family tried were fantastic. The only one thing they could have improved on was cooking the lamb to medium or medium rare. It was pretty well done, but still edible and flavorful. We just don’t like our lamb cooked that much through. Would happily go back and recommend to anyone!

we really enjoyed the food. We’ve been in a lot of great restaurants with a lot of great service in the last few days. Everybody was nice, but it wasn’t great. we really loved all the small plates. But to give good service, a little bit more initiative and friendliness would go a long way.

We ate here on a Thursday night, and they were rather busy. Service was very good. The young lady helping us was great with her suggestions and descriptions of the menu. It didn't take too long to be served. My husband really enjoyed his halibut. His Moroccan lamb chop was good--a single chop but large sized. He is used to people often overcooking it so he ordered it on the rare side and it came out exactly that (...so order it as you like it and it will probably be well prepared). I enjoyed my Mu Shu Bacon but it was a bit over salted. The cheese plate was good...ample sized slices of three cheeses with crackers and condiments. Overall, a good experience.

Willi’s Wine Bar is a charming spot tucked just off the main road in Santa Rosa, offering a cozy, laid-back vibe that’s perfect for a casual afternoon or evening out. Service was warm and attentive without feeling rushed, adding to the relaxed, wine-country feel.

Service and atmosphere were very nice. Unfortunately, the pork belly pot stickers were not pork belly. It was pulled pork, which was just not that good. if you advertise pork belly, you should use pork belly. that was a huge turn off. The beet salad, cheese plate and service were good. Because they misrepresented the pork belly pot stickers, we will probably not go there again.

We were really looking forward to a meal here and were really disappointed. Service was fine. Ambience was fine. The food was mostly not great. The spicy shrimp were really good. The Brussels sprouts didn’t work at all. They were soggy and there were too many disjointed flavors. The carrots were too sweet. The lamb was fine but paired with a cold couscous was strange separately they were fine. We love other Stark restaurants and even ate lunch at Augie’s which was really good.

Unfortunately I can't review the food or wine as I didn't get either. I was supposed to meet a friend for happy hour but she canceled, so I decided to go by myself. I walked in around 4:55, so still happy hour. I said I would gladly sit at the bar. Someone was finishing so I waited for her seat and went to use the restroom. I came back and sat down. The bartender immediately informed me that it was no longer happy hour. It was 5:01. I explained that I had arrived before 5:00 but he said the kitchen is very strict about happy hour food. He said he could give me wine, I assume from the happy hour wine list. Then he walked away. Didn't give me a hour wine list or regular menu. Just walked away. And so did I. As I was leaving he said, "Have a nice evening, Miss" even though I'm clearly over 60.
