Absolutely lovely. We were scrambling to find a place for valentines / 5 year anniversary dinner and we couldn't have found more lovely experience. The food: amazing, the atmosphere: friendly and relaxed. The service!? Extraordinary. Thank you for making our five year anniversary dinner special and for taking care to accommodate our 3 and 9 year old tag alongs.

Everything about this place was amazing, the food the service the knowledge of the menu. The steak was cooked to perfection. All of the pastas were on time visually pleasing, and the taste was up to par with that. The only bad was that...... no tiramisu or creme brulee. The staff was there when you needed that like they knew. If you can check them out.

This place is delicious! The staff were super friendly and the atmosphere is cute. I came for brunch, but ended up getting the Saffron Pappardelle. Saffron is one of my favorite spices and this dish did not disappoint. The infused saffron noodles were absolutely amazing and the sauce was so good I could have drank it. I am so sad I am just now finding this place because I come to Sonoma very often. I will for sure be back and recommend this place to anyone who comes to the area!

We went for happy hour and were pleased with the food and drinks. Happy hour runs from 3:00-5:30 Mondays through Thursdays and only until 5:00 on Fridays. It is not offered on weekends. The house white wine (a local Sauvignon blanc) was good and cost $5. They make their own good Pale Ale beer which at happy hour is only $3. We preferred the green salad ($7) over the Caesar ($8). The BBQ oyster dish ($11) has six oysters with two dipping sauces- it was fine but if you prefer raw oysters they are on the menu and cost $1.50 each. We also had the calamari- they are heavily breaded so don’t order them if you don’t like deep fried breading. We took off the breading. The clams and mussel dish ($11) was very tasty with a nice broth. We also liked the veggie flatbread ($9) which has artichokes, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, pesto and feta cheese. For desert we had the tiramisu ($7)- it was okay, but I have had better (I’ve also had worse). The service was attentive and friendly. All in all it was a good meal and we were happy to have eaten there.

Nice seating both inside and out. Take a sweater, it can get chilly.

Had a nice dinner here with family. The food was good, love the steamer clams and calamari. Lamb chops was well cooked as well. Only give 4 stars because the waiter was not on top of our orders, and keep forgetting stuff… it was a busy Saturday day night, but the service can be better.

Great atmosphere, great art, great service, and SO much potential with the food. TASTE before you plate! Risotto for both dishes needed salt and more acid for the risotto with lamb shank. This might be a community thing since salt and pepper are already on the table. I find that most restaurants with fine dining chefs ONLY provide these when asked since it changes the flavor of the dish. Lamb was nice and tender and the mushrooms and prawns were perfectly cooked. Lack of seasoning can make these seem bland.

We dined here on Valentine’s Day with an 8:30 PM reservation. The restaurant was completely packed, which we expected for the holiday, but service felt noticeably slow — we didn’t receive our drinks until around 8:55. It was a pre-fixe menu with selectable options. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the strong reviews we had seen online. The miso soup with crab was surprisingly flavorless and lacked depth. The butternut squash ravioli leaned overly sweet, and the salmon with beet purée felt like an unusual pairing that didn’t quite come together. Overall, the dishes felt bland and underwhelming. Our server was fine, though not especially warm or engaging. The lighting also detracted from the overall experience — it felt quite bright for a Valentine’s dinner service. Dimmers would go a long way in creating a more intimate and elevated atmosphere. Given the reputation and holiday pricing, we left feeling disappointed. I was really hoping for a more memorable evening.

Food was lacking in flavor from apps to mains. Outdoor space was nice but there was a rat that kept creeping around which made it hard to enjoy the evening. Service was a bit slow. Maybe good for lunch? Dinner… pass. Too many great places around to waste your time at a place that is mailing it in.

I ordered a chicken Cesar salad to go. $18, plus tax, plus tip. I got an extremely small salad with no chicken. Most definitely not worth the $18. See picture. The only reason I gave a couple of stars is because the chicken sandwich was good.

We were so excited for our anniversary dinner at Sonoma Grill and what a Disappointment. Food was so below average with absolutely no taste. Pesto rigatoni w shrimp tasted like it came out of a jar and portion was so small left hungry. Basket of bread a complete joke which they charged for… solid restaurants shouldn’t charge for especially what they served. Other pasta and shrimp dish was soggy noodles with no taste day old shrimp at best. Just our experience for a lot of $$$ with no value.

Went in at 4:55 hoping for happy hour. Seated quickly. Waitress comes over 10 minutes later says too late for happy hour prices. I ended up being glad. Women at table next to me smelling oysters complained and sent them back. We left.
