Restaurants near El Pueblo Inn

Beautiful property with attentive but not overdone service. Food was delicious. Will come back.

The short ribs on polenta were excellent as was the lemon chicken.

We arrived early for our reservation, which was no problem, and were offered to try the enclosed, outdoor, heated patio. It was beautiful with warm lighting and not a hint of the December chill outside. My daughter and I shared the fig/arugula salad, duck confit and flounder. We expected two tiny duck legs but they were leg quarters with more meat than we could eat due to the duck’s richness. A good sharing dish because of that. The salted fig carmel trifle is a must if you’re a chocolate mousse fan. The Puebla de Sonoma cocktail was good but if you don’t care for a sweet drink, ask for less agave. I was worried about spiciness and asked for less heat but the regular amount would have been fine and actually better. Our server was attentive and friendly and the entire staff was on top of things. Our water never got below half and empty dishes were swept away quickly, but not in a rushed, hurry up way. My receipt says my server was ‘August’s A’ and she was wonderful.

Always a consistent and excellent meal, service and ambiance. Each meal was perfect - tostada, shrimp tacos and crab sandwich. Very good non-alcoholic drink selection.

Sonoma Grille is one of our favorite places because the service is courteous and prompt. Also, they didn’t raise their prices into the outer stratosphere after Covid. If you get seated inside near the bar, it can be noisy. Outdoor seating is always great but it was very cold so we chose indoors. The lemongrass ravioli is one of my favorites and they do a good fish special. Their pear salad is excellent and great, too, if you add prawns. I ordered a champagne cocktail and it was very good.
