“It's a small, American Cafe with good food. I had the Tex-Mex scramble with chorizo, vegetables, and cheese. It came with two flour Tortillas. It was a generous portion and perfectly cooked. Service was fast and friendly, and the cafe was clean and bright.“
“The breakfast sandwiches are THE BOMB here! You can get them on a bagel or english muffin - I got the english muffin and it was so so good. The perfect start to my morning, along with a delicious latte. The staff was super friendly and the place is really cute! Highly recommend checking it out.“
“Simply the best Italian restaurant period. All of their ingredients are made from scratch. Linda, is such a sweet soul. The restaurant is also so friendly. I’m so impressed and I recommend families come here and enjoy all the delicious dishes!!! Highly recommend!!!“
“The good-The food. We got breakfast. Enjoyed every bite. My only complaint, the fried chicken Benedict doesn’t come with a carb (muffin or biscuit) but that isn’t exactly clear in the menu. Small thing as the bacon was cooked to perfection.The better-Service is wonderful. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and Knowledgeable of the menu even though it was a holiday (New Year’s Day)I also REALLY appreciate that they offered Hoppin’ John. While my friend and I didn’t order any, to see a dish I grew up having on New Year’s Day on the menu meant a lot—especially given how far from home I was.“
“Went with a friend who hadn't been there before. Our lovely server (who just adopted an abandoned pitbull) recommended a Harvest View Tempranillo, which we really loved. We shared mushroom ravioli, Caesar salad, roasted artichoke hearts in marinara, and a couple of yummy deserts. This is one of my favorite places for a quiet, healthy, thoughtful, delicious dinner that doesn't involve harming animals. Meekk and her staff are always so welcoming and helpful. Can't wait to bring another friend to this one of a kind eatery.“
“I grew up in Sebastopol. This place was just a window next to a donut shop. They've since expanded into the neighboring shops and they deserve it! Since I moved away there have been plenty of new uppity Mexican places that have popped up. I'm looking at you Papas Y Pollo. But nothing can compare to the tasty authenticity of Viva Mexicana. Everything has flavor here and there really isn't any reason to go anywhere else.“
“This would probably would help to be one of my favorite restaurants. Most of the time, it's not a long wait. The food there is delicious and the staff are amazing.Kid-friendliness: They have menus specifically for the kids. There are burgers, chicken nuggets, and other options.“
“I ordered corned beef hash, two eggs over easy, country potatoes and Rye toast. The food was wonderfully cooked. Service was great. I have also had their patty melt for lunch and it was very good. The ambiance is very cozy! I recommend this diner!“
“Love the vibe here. This is my first time back in Sebastopol in 17 years, and the hodgepodge art vibe reminds me of old Sebastopol much more than downtown. Good to see the humble old spirit of the city still lives in a few places around town.They have a wide and eclectic variety of teas (including loose leaf). They also have display cases of various raw crystals (not the polished ones like in most stores downtown), all of which are for sale. My soy latte was great too“
“We love this place. We have been to both locations (Santa Rosa the other one). Their ice cream is delish and good variety of flavors. They offer tasty treats as well. My only gripe, i wish they would change their cupcake GF option, it is always the same (been that way for years). My husband is a fan of their pies. This location gets busy during the warmer months so be prepared to wait in line if you come to the square during a hot day!“
“The best casual seafood restaurant ever!!! They have the most crisp and tender fish and chips you’ll ever eat. Hands down the very best and we’ve had great fish and chips in the UK. All locally sourced and sustainable ingredients, the very best that Sonoma County offers. Oh and their soft serve ice cream is <chef’s kiss> the best!“
“Delicious coffee at a comfortable price. In some ways comparable to Starbucks and Pete's coffee. I enjoy that it is in a Victorian style building. I ordered a cafe mocha with oatmeal milk, on a scale of 1 to 10 I would say it's a 9+.“
“If you're looking for genuine beignets ; look no further! Comes served fresh, puffy & powdery. Excellent with the coffee ( w/ notes of chicory)! Also ordered half sandwich oyster po'boy. Love the fried oysters and fresh local bread ( makes a difference ). The gumbo was flavorful and comforting! Staff was very friendly and always checking- in. I was at the bar table so I got a full view of the busy kitchen. The preparers/ cooks very focused! Good place for taste of Cajun / Creole food.“
“We came by here after a birthing class, and the food/service were great. I also saw them accommodate a late to go order 15 min before closing! The food was spectacular, and we will definitely be coming back. We were fortunate, and were able to try a few things due to their restaurant week specials.We started with the lentil soup which was fabulous. The green salad with the mango salad was addictive. Husband had the lamb vindaloo and I had the Chana masala, both were excellent. The veggie samosa and sauces were fantastic. The rice pudding was a perfect way to end the meal.Vegetarian options: There is an entire section of the menu for vegetarian/vegan options.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and vegan options“
“Finally have the chance to make a visit to try the pizza ! wow it was amazing ! Bubbly crisp chewy crust with the perfect amount of high quality topping ! We had to order the 16 inch to do the half and half ! A must visit if you find yourself in the area! Definetly stopping by every single time !! Their staff was amazingly helpful with such a upbeat attitude too“
“I am so happy that I took the time to make a stop at CUVER and sample their beers. I am an avid IPA drinker but after sampling CUVER's lineup of Belgian beers I may have changed my favorites list. Their beers are absolutely fabulous, I enjoyed every one of the 7 samples in the extended flight!! It's not a sprawling brewery like you find down the road but the atmosphere is very nice and you can tell immediately that it is a family run business, the staff are very friendly and are eager to tell you about their beers. If you like beer, do yourself a favor and stop by CUVER.“
“Absolute must-go!!! The staff were very friendly, helpful and gave our group lots of information on the wines. We never felt unattended to. ALL of the wines were fabulous, and the pours were very generous. The inside of the tasting room was adorable, plus there was a dog there too! Bonus points for the brownie that came with the tasting. Would absolutely recommend to visit!“
“Great diner serving American breakfasts. Had the crab cake benedict and it was delicious. Ask for well done country potatoes. The hash brown was a huge chunk and not as crispy as expected.There's a large outdoor covered patio and lots of seating inside. We were seated inside and I was happy we were because there were so many funny signs with an eclectic decor.Lots of parking in front of the restaurant. We went on a Sunday morning at 9am and there were lots of seating and parking spots available.“
“Andrew was amazing. Not only did he accommodate our group last minute on a day they were closed, but the service was AMAZING!! The Pinot was so yummy as well as the Cabernet. We are Pinot gals but the wine was delicious. We look forward to adding a visit to this winery as part of our annual tradition. Thanks Andrew and K2 Cellars.Love ,The skinless idea gals…..“
“Came here on a Tuesday around noon to try the "block stars" tasting flight. I ended up being the only customer till about 3 and had a great time getting to know Pam in the tasting room and learning more about the history of the vineyards! The wine was great (especially the sparkling pinot noir) and their location is perfect for sitting out on the back patio to enjoy the vineyards and mountains. Definitely a great stop!“
“Taqueria Santa Rosa is an enchanting oasis of Mexican culinary artistry. From the moment you step inside, the vibrant ambiance transports you to a bustling Mexican plaza, setting the stage for a gastronomic adventure like no other. The tacos here are a revelation, bursting with inventive fillings that redefine your expectations of this beloved classic. With a salsa bar offering a rainbow of flavors and heat levels, each taco can be customized to your preferred level of spiciness. Don't forget to pair your meal with one of their exquisite margaritas, the perfect complement to the flavors that dance on your palate. The friendly staff adds an extra layer of warmth to the experience, making Taqueria Santa Rosa a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an unforgettable journey through Mexican cuisine.“
“By far my favorite winery!! Their wine selections are the best. The tasting room is beautiful, elegant, and homey. We enjoyed the root tasting and Chefs Todd and Thomas, along with their well trained staff, served up one of the best meals we have ever eaten...of course paired perfectly with Bricoleur wines. Our hospitality ambassador, Reilly, was friendly, attentive and well versed on the wine descriptions. The owner, Mark Hanson, came and visited with us and we felt like we were part of the Bricoleur family!! I highly recommend this winery to all who enjoy great wines and food.“
“The lights, decoration and painted walls gave the restaurant a nice character. The portions weren't huge but were enough to fill you. I recommend the beef kabob. It was not tender but it tasted very delicious. The rice was moist and very yummy.We also ordered the yogurt which was also delicious. The fries were also good The chicken kabob was just ok and same goes for the hummus and salad portion of the plate. Usually the non franchise Mediterranean restaurants in malls are subpar, this place was a pleasant exception to the usual disappointment. In summary, if you like Mediterranean food, give this place a try and order the beef kabob plate with the yogurt appetizer.“
“Very cozy place, a nice atmosphere, clean, and a great selection of beverages. OMG, the breakfast and desserts are the best!The best, after breakfast, you can walk around the beautiful antique store!DEFINITELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ?Wheelchair accessibility: They have a nice ramp with plenty of space.“
“A most memorable tasting experience always: exceptional wines, a superbly knowledgeable team, and beautiful tasting room. Joseph Jewell Winery consistently over delivers and exceeds expectations by offering superior customer service, ethereal wines ranging from Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay to single vineyard Pinot Noirs that can age beautifully yet be delicious when young. Highest compliments to winemaker Adrian for his stellar hospitality, dedicated artistry, and resourcefulness in finding terrific grapes from a broad range of appellations. Grateful Cheers to Joseph Jewell Winery!“
“We went here for my friend who is a white wine drinker and she has put up with her red wine drinking friends all weekend. We have always associated KJ with white wines and were pleasantly surprised by their selection of red wines.We did the wine tasting ($40). It took a little longer than we anticipated as we were there for almost 2 hours that's our fault. Our hostess Erica was great! She was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about each wine.A couple in our group signed up to be wine club members and we ordered some wines to be shipped home.We will definitely have to do one of their wines pairing lunch/dinner next time we are in town. Sounds delicious!“
“Portalupi offers a number of wines that diverge from most of what you'll find at the majority of wineries in northern Sonoma County. Starting with a Barbera-based sparkler (a little drier, please). After wading through a couple of decent dry whites (Arneis, Vermentino), and skipping some of the lighter reds, we moved on to some of the bolder offerings: Barbera, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo-- all winners. Dolinsek Pinot was a nice surprise; a departure from the rest of the (Italian) lineup. The host of our group of six was friendly, informative and engaging, with just the right balance between taking us through the flight and giving us space to socialize among ourselves and discuss the wines“
“Absolutely love this coffee shop! It is one of my top favorites in Sonoma County. Not to mention the vibe & cool decor they have inside the shop. They also sell their own merchandise, which is so neat. Their is also plenty of sitting inside, and wifi available to get work done. Currently they have a Crème Brûlée latte, which is crafted to perfection. It's creamy, sweet & just balanced perfectly. The top of the latte is toasted, which creates a crunchy sugar top. And service here is fast & friendly. Not once have I waited longer than 3 minuets for a drink. Definitely recommend this shop, to meet up with friends, get work done, or simply enjoy or cup of joe in the morning.“
“Impressive on all accounts! We had a wonderful tasting here and liked it so much that we held our wedding welcome reception here in April 2023. The staff is EXCEPTIONAL and the property is picturesque. All of our guests were raving about how kind, thoughtful, and attentive everyone was. The food for our event was not only delicious but made with well thought out ingredients, you must try their brownies!!! We trusted them to kickoff our special weekend and we do not have one single complaint. We would choose them again and again and look forward to the next time we can visit. Thank you to Robert and everyone there!“
“"The best part of waking up . . Is Emilou's coffee in your cup!" Isn't that how it goes? Ha! Today I had the pleasure of fueling up at Emilou's Cafe. I went to grab my coffee order & get my day started. This hidden gem was located next to 'Hi-Tide Laundromat' right behind an oasis of plants. There is a large floor marker that reads 'locally roasted coffee' & I knew I had found the spot. A quaint space with a small ordering lobby & a couple of chairs, window-front. The small cafe offered an assortment of drink options, so I checked out the menu. After a quick study of the menu I went with the 'Whipped CBD Honey Latte' iced. Sounded like a nice way to get me a 'up' a little & down a little. Iykyk. My drink was carefully yet quickly crafted by a friendly gentleman staff member. I forgot to mention wanting to request a milk alternative but was asked just before it was added making it easy to adjust before receiving my drink. My gut thanks you, kind sir. I stepped outside to the plant cloaked patio to enjoy my drink. My drink [Whipped CBD Honey Latte] was tasty & refreshing. Perfect midday pick me up.. Rich coffee complimented with a hint of honey & ice to perfection. My only wish was that it was a little sweeter but otherwise this was 'the perfect cup'! I'll certainly be back to fuel up another day & will turn up the sweetness a notch. Thank for making a gorgeous cup of joe & for hosting my coffee experience! Cheers to a successful 2024!“
“We found ourselves at this small, but beautiful winery because it was one of the free tasting options our hotel offered.The wines were lovely and exactly the experience you want.We were visiting Healdsburg end of December which is perfect for less crowded, intimate experience. We had the place to ourselves and could take our time. We did get a cheese board, but forgot to take a picture.Which is unfortunate because the cheeses are all from local artisan farmers. Highly recommend the cheese, the wine and the tasting.“
“I love this place. The wait staff is always so pleasant, the food always delicious. It can get a bit loud in there, but I'm sensitive to sound.Everything I've had here has been wonderful, great wine selection.Ask for the hot oil to put on your pizza.“
“I've been a big fan of Screamin Mimi's for years, and I still am in some aspects. After some internal debate I'm writing this review because the serving process and atmosphere have had a decline in recent years. I understand not everything can/should be the same as it was before, and while there may be some changes for the better I am disappointed with my recent visits.Starting with what I enjoy, the ice cream is delicious. I love that it's made in house with local ingredients, and it shows in the quality. The Mimi's mud is the best in my opinion, but the other flavors are also above par. The location is good and I'm happy that it's still a busy spot. My family is also glad the parking spots in front are available again. The employees are helpful and cheerful, and I have had zero issues with customer service. I'm giving 4 stars because I still recommend this spot to visitors and locals alike. If you're just in town and looking for a great ice cream place, you can stop reading here.The first thing I notice that I do not like is that the space to sit inside is very cramped compared to how it used to be. The whole dining room layout is overall kind of awkward, one of the corners is tighter than before because of the trash cans new home, and the two other tables are right next to the usually crowded line and waiting area. As for the ordering process, it is only one group ordering at a time as opposed to one group per employee. I know this is the norm at some ice cream places, but I always liked the way Mimi's did it. This also often leads to watching your ice cream slowly melt behind the counter while the other orders in your group are filled. Before, it was nice to be able to see the flavors and taste in front of the display (you can still taste the ice cream, it's just awkward in my opinion. They also have pictures of the current flavors on the wall). After inquiring we were also informed today that they no longer use reusable glasses for shakes and sundaes, which is a dissapointment after previously admiring Mimi's for being environmentally conscious (though they still have compostable cups and spoons).My main gripe is that the ice cream is no longer sold by the weight. I understand why they had to change their system in the beginning of the pandemic, but I don't understand why it can't be implemented again. To me and my friends/family, this is what set Mimi's apart. The flexibility of being able to get exactly how much you want for a fair price was unique, and satisfying to the stomach and wallet.Besides all that, there's just tiny, insignificant things I miss about the atmosphere. The pet contest, the world visitors map, the suggestion box, I could go on but I also can acknowledge things like this are not at the top of priorities and I'll accept that. As much as I enjoy this place, I felt the need to write this review in hopes that I can at least put my opinions out there that I know other regulars share.“
“A must stop in my book. We had a really amazing, tasting experience which was tailored to our preferences. Though he went off script to meet our preferences each description was excitingly animated and well constructed. Their roses were excellent, especially the 2021. We also liked their spiced wine (of course) and their Sauvignon Blanc.“
“This place is fantastic! First and foremost, the beer is incredible. I'm particularly fond of the IPAs. I had three different ones, and they were all fantastic. They don't have food but there's usually an amazing food truck there from 2:00pm-8:00pm. They do have snacks, though. The front bar area is really cool. I love the metal bar top. The back is totally awesome. Big, spacious, covered outdoor area with lots of seating. There is also lots of parking. And the bathrooms are clean, so big plus there.“
“To quote Marshawn Lynch "I love the ambiance. I love the decor. To be honest, I spend a lot of time wondering which one I like more the ambiance or the decor." The best thing about this place is the flatbread pizzas. Caprese is out of this world. I had to order a second pizza. I just thought it was the most delicious food I've had out in a long time. I got the totchos but they didn't thrill me. They were fresh. They were plentiful. It was a good old heaping pile of them. It's like if I stood next to Mila Kunis I wouldn't be that cool anymore so nothing against the totchos it's just after the caprese pizza nothing really will ever slap as hard again.“
“I love this place! The cob salad is soooo good! All the pizza’s I have had are great. The crust is excellent and not greasy at all. There is usually a 50 or 60 minute wait for to go orders, so allow plenty of time. The pizza is pretty pricey, but considering the quality it is worth it.“
“Such a stunning winery to visit! First, the views are amazing, but it's a bit of a trek to get to the winery, but oh so worth it. They have several tasting locations, but typically many stop at their main tasting room deck. Again, you come for the views and wine! Tasting fees are reasonable and the wine is priced well. The quality of the wine is good, but I have had better in the area unfortunately. This is not a knock on them as competition is fierce in the area, but I'd give their portfolios a solid 3.5 out of 5 for quality. A favorite was their branded Pinot or Brut. As for their staff they have always been so wonderful, whether it be tastings or happy hours that they host during the warmer months. I would still recommend to others to give them a shot as it will not disappoint for many.“
“I was about to visit a different spirits place when our server at Matrix Winery said he liked and recommended Young & Yonder Spirits. I like recommendations from locals.I would pick 4 spirits for my tasting. The choices of absinthe and amaro intrigued me, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to taste them straight. I was lucky enough that there was just enough pour from the lime vodka so I chose lime vodka, gin, bourbon, and corn whiskey. The lime vodka was yummy and would be great for mixing drinks. I really liked the H.O.B.S. gin. It stands for Harbor of Broken Souls. Nice name, but with the juniper taste and ABV at 50%? This would be perfect for mixing since it’s a higher ABV. I was so curious how it would taste that I ordered an H.O.B.S. Gin and tonic for my wife. Yep, it tasted great. I’m a whiskey guy and I like bourbon. However, I actually preferred their corn whiskey. Perhaps because it’s 80% corn so it was extra sweet. The only complaint I had was that each pour was very little. It’s great that they use Glencairn glasses for tasting, but wish they had been more generous with their pours.As a home mixologist, I had a nice chat with the bartender about their gin, their local bitters. It’s the great conversation that takes the experience to another level. Buying a bottle would waive the tasting fee? Great. I got that H.O.B.S. gin that I really had my eyes (and taste buds) on! I would use 1 oz of their gin and another oz of Tanqueray to make a gin and tonic. Maybe next time I would come back and taste the absinthe.“
“I love this place! It's fun to go in and taste all sorts of different wines from different winemakers both large and small. Plus, the place is really well designed; lovely and light with a terrific staff to match! I enjoy grabbing food from other places in the Barlow and plopping down at Region. and enjoying a fabulous environment and tasting experience with these super lovely people and yummy wines!“
“A darling cafe with excellent food and wonderful customer service in a delightful atmosphere.It was charming and delicious!!Kid-friendliness: A friendly place for ALL!!Wheelchair accessibility: Very nice to see the accessibility is honored and respected!! Our daughter thanks you!!“
“Took my partner for a nice date and came across this place by chance!The staff was so nice and knowledgeable, very attentive with tea times and descriptions! Had great vegan options. Can't wait to come back! This place is amazing!The matcha is perfect too, with nondairy options [coconut, oat] and for the boba as well.Beautiful place.We'll be back!Pros: Atmosphere, Service, FoodCons: Smaller food portion [could have used a bit more noodles for the price!]Vegetarian options: Great options for both vegans and veggies.“
“This is our favorite winery! My husband loves their robust reds & I can't get enough of their whites & the Rosé, oh their Rosé, just divine. Their tasting room is cozy & inviting. The cheese pairing is a perfect compliment. It's also in walking distance to everything you'll want to do in Healdsburg. Right down the street from Willi's, I mean you can't beat that! We are a family of members, loyals. We love the staff they're the best, super knowledgeable about the wine and always make you feel welcomed! Go for the wine stay for the Deb“
“I want to go back and give this place another chance and hopefully improve my review, as we did enjoy our visit. However they forgot to bring our appetizer, our fries came out after we'd finished our burgers, the burgers were overcooked, and the service took a long time. Oh and ants kept walking across our table. We really liked the place, the food, and the staff though, so we'll come back and see if our experience was a fluke.“
“Tracy was responsive, professional and flexible in taking my order for 5 dozen of seven different cookies, yes, 420 cookies! Cookies included: chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter and chocolate crackles. She was knowledgeable and diligent in making sure all of the cookies were prepared, as requested, without milk products. She also emailed me the ingredient list for all of the cookies and sourced a diary free recipe for Lemon Madeline cookies.The cookies were all great and ready as arranged. She double wrapped the boxed to ensure freshness.We had a cookie table for my daughter's wedding and when I needed to pick up earlier than anticipated, on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, Tracy was so very nicely accommodating!I certainly recommend Cookie.... take a bite!“
“This was a nice surprise. The food was really good and worth the visit, prices are high for a burger place but the burger is so good you almost forget the price, especially if you add a yummy side dish. I had the fried asparagus, a little to salty (next time I would ask to hold the salt), but it was very tasty. My burger was very good! I will recommend this place.Btw, the waitress Michelle was very friendly.“
“The menu looked intriguing and on our way back from Sonoma, we stopped by. The ambience is so relaxing, open, and welcoming. The hosts were just amazingly cool. Food was a good blend of taste and healthiness. All locally grown and advocates of sustainability. A must visit.“
“What a great start to our vacation! Bri welcomed us with open arms and was hospitable, informative, and friendly. The grounds were beautiful and the wines, as well as the food pairings (Heidi's House Picks), were wonderful. We are not wine experts but we nonetheless felt valued and welcomed. We just hope we can make it back someday!“
“This is my go to lunch spot. Everything is amazing! I usually get a sandwich and soup. All of their ingredients are fresh and the soups are to die for. Get the broccoli cheddar whenever it's available. Trust me. Everyone who works here is super friendly and I always love stopping in.“
“Authentic and simply delicious. Love the special beef pho (pho dac biet), the vermicelli combo, pork banh mi, and the crispy tofu (garlic-y tastiness). If you sit in, you’ll often see an order of the crispy tofu on every table. The service is always excellent. This has made moving away from the South Bay and the readily accessible Vietnamese food in San Jose bearable and has definitely become my new go-to!“
