    Staff was wonderful. Allowed us time to contemplate menu. Never felt rushed. The Fritto Misto was good as an appetizer. Beware that the misto includes sliced fried lemons, a bit of a surprise for the non-lemon lover at the table. I had the scallops which were prepared perfectly, just a hint rare in the middle. Four out four of us were happy with our choices. I most definitely will return. BTW crab sandwich, that I was spying on, looked excellent too!

    EDK is relaxed and comfortable. The setting and ambiance is quite pleasant. The food was earnestly conceived—nice variety, items of interest, potentially interesting twists and flourishes— but all underwhelming in the end. The service was awkward.

    Everything was perfect and I’m sorry I can’t remember our server name. He was Hispanic and young and very well put together and he was so attentive. He was amazing.

    What a wonderful meal from cocktails to entrees, all were outstanding. Our server was friendly, courteous, and attentive, but not overly so. We split the field greens salad, lightly dressed-it was perfect. We had paella and the seared scallops--both were cooked perfectly. The scallops were on a cauliflower puree and a number of small additions created a wonderful blend. Definitely will return, such a great spot right on the square in Sonoma

    This was my third time at El Dorado Kitchen and it was as good as the last 2 times, excellent! There were 4 of us and everyone had a delicious meal. The service was also great. I can’t wait for the next time I’m in town to enjoy another meal. By the way, the first 2 times I was there for breakfast which was fantastic and this time was for lunch.
