    As lifelong Sonoma residents, this is one of our favorite restaurants in Sonoma. Located right off the downtown Plaza this decades old Sonoma restaurant offers great food and a relaxing and casual atmosphere. The menu has something for everyone, with tasty appetizers, fresh salads and delicious entrees! Do not miss the Bar! A wonderful old time bar with a great bar menu. The bartender, Bob, has been there a for many years and makes excellent cocktails! This is a must try if you are ever in the town of Sonoma.

    Food was good! Service was good. Restaurant charges a 3% fee for credit card purchase-- Come on it is 2025 and you are in a tourist town. Total negative from the start with extra fees. Put your profit margin in your menu prices and cut it with the extra fees.

    Our favorite place to have lunch - terrific salmon sandwich (bacon too yum). Waiter was excellent and provided the perfect birthday treat (flourless chocolate cake) that really topped off the lunch. Thanks for consistently great lunch and service!

    Had the eggs Benedict and bread and butter pudding. Food was good and had a nice window seat so was able to watch the tourists go by.

    We had not dined here in a while. We decided to have our Valentines Dinner here and we were NOT disappointed. The restaurant was bustling on V-Day so the vibe was energetic. We had a wait a bit but totally understand on such a popular night. We each enjoyed our entrees- there were 6 different special entrees that night . My Halibut was delicious and my husband said the lamb chops were perfectly cooked. In all a very enjoyable evening
