“We visited Townes during Sonoma County restaurant week and they did not disappoint! Their Mussels were absolutely to die for! There wasn't just a simple broth in the bottom of the dish, it was more like a tasty chowder with fine veggies and seasonings that you wanted to soak up every drop of! Their desserts were also yummy. The setting is pretty simple having previously been 3rd Street Ale Works but the food and service was stellar!”
“During a business trip to Rohnert Park, we were fortunate enough to happen upon this gem! A menu with the right amount of variety. The food was absolutely delicious. The Walter Hansel Cuvee Alyce Chardonnay was breathtaking. I have never had better. The service was incredible. They had a small staff working to serve, but as soon as we finished a course, they were removing the dishes and delivering the next course, which was perfectly prepared. The restaurant is intimate, warm and inviting. It was very clear the entire staff enjoyed what they were doing and were proud of their work, as they should be! We look forward to the next opportunity to return, for sure. The only disappointing thing is that we live too far away to come here often.”
“The food is amazing and the customer service is top notch! I enjoyed the carne asada French fries which were heaping with cheese and meat. Everything tastes fresh and the meat didn't taste like mock steak that other places try passing off as real. I believe this may have just become my new favorite Mexican restaurant in all of Sonoma county. Though this was 11 miles from my house in Rohnert Park, I will easily make it my new go to for amazing Mexican food. The avocado salsa is spicy but super good.... I give this place 10 stars, and I like to think of myself as a Mexican food critic with growing up in San Diego where all the Mexican food is great! I am so stuffed after only less then 3/4 of my meal, which I should have stopped eating while I was ahead, but I managed to savor every last bite. The breakfast burritos look amazing so that is what I'm chasing after next. You're welcome...”
“Incredibly personable service from beginning to end.Charming ambience- one feels they are dining in an Italian cafe.Delicious food- cannot wait to go back and try other delectable dishes I saw others enjoying. Fabulous wine list (all Italian wines).Zooey, our server, was delightful.”
“My husband and I stopped by for a tasting and were hosted by Scott. I can't say enough good things about the wine. We are from Ontario, Canada and our LCBO carries Kendall Jackson wines which we love we wanted to pay them a visit. Scott was an amazing host, we learnt so much from him - he was very informative and incredibly kind. Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon!”

“This dynamic culinary destination brings together a diverse array of food vendors, each offering their own unique and mouthwatering creations. From gourmet burgers and artisanal pizzas to exotic fusion dishes and indulgent desserts, there's something to tempt every palate at Mitote Food Park.”
“Casual dinning done right.A gem of a neighbourhood eatery, to be jealous of.From start to check, was flawless.Friendly, attentive staff, proud to show off their wines and a food.Everything we ate was on point, and everything we drank equally as good.Good portions and easy to share courses was a vibe.”
“I never understood why people cried when eating a special meal from home after a long trip abroad, now I understand. Our trip has only been 4 days but never thought I'd crave so much for a good bowl of noodles this much. Almost cried when I filled myself with a savoury bowl. Also only if the tastiest charbroiled chasu pork I've tasted in my son's tonkotsu ramen. Definitely a must have for the noodle lover! Great atmosphere and great service! Homemade chili sauce is amazing as well!”
“Absolutely love this coffee shop! The whole vibe, the food and drinks, the customer service… all above 5 stars. Shout out to Bethany and Zane for always being super sweet! I always look forward to stoping by. ❤️”

“The minute we stepped into this restaurant, we were greeted by a nice young lady (who my four-year-old child greeted with a nice compliment of her dress). She placed us near the open kitchen and after we ordered, we were surprised with a plate of little munchies including grapes, celery, carrots, cheese, chips, and peanut butter (for free). My daughter devoured this. We ordered a cheese pizza for her and a sausage and caramelized onion pizza and three grilled shrimp tacos. We also shared truffle fries- which we were planning to take home but never quite made it since we ate it all. The food was great- the smokiness of the sauce in the tacos paired with the grilled shrimp and the freshness of the slaw in the tacos made it perfectly balanced. The ambiance felt lively with the open kitchen. I loved watching them place the pizzas in the beehive oven and the pizzas came out perfect. The staff was very attentive and filled our drinks when it was running low. I was very impressed with this place and will be returning with my family again.”
“There's a line out the door before they open?! I was not aware. I waited in my car when the line was forming. Well now I know, and so do you. Such a lovely place to get loaves of bread, ice cream and pastries. They are so French in there and they are so good at pronouncing everything so beautifully. I was going to take more pictures, but I was too busy figuring out what I was going to get. The line went so quick so don't be intimidated. As we entered they had a little sample of cheesy bread. I love it!! So happy I finally tried it. I bought a sourdough loaf, and a Marie Antoinette chocolate pastry. It was delicious and oh so fresh. I made an open grilled cheese with some wagon wheel bread, and tomato bisque soup and this was just the bread I needed! My new favorite bakery for sure!”
“Fabulous sandwiches-the Hot Gabagool was so good! Also the Sicilian Shrimp Chowder was so garlicky and wonderful! We finished our lunch off with their incredible Tiramisu! Very family friendly-like the good old days!”
“We had a large party and so I made reservations.The service was good even with a ton of peopleI loved my spaghetti and meatballs.I'm picky about these "anybody can cook it" type dinners, not true of course.More likely anybody can ruin it.Eddie's was really good.Parking was easy ..Thanks allKid-friendliness: We had several young people theyThey were welcomed and catered to”
“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!!”
“Clare is an amazing baker. What she can do with pretzels and bread deserves way more than 5 stars. She treats everyone with kindness and generosity. She often tries out delicious snacks, like veggie turnovers, fig pockets, bagel dogs. She keeps the yummy surprises coming!”
“Willi's was great. I hadn't been there for awhile, and and was a bit concerned that we could only have outside seating, since it was a cold evening. That was not an issue, since we were seated in a nice enclosed patio area with excellent heaters. It was cozy, and the meal and service were great!”

“The food here is authentic Italian and, in my Italian opinion, the best in Santa Rosa. The service and ambiance are great given what they have to work with. It's a nice reasonably priced dinner date establishment. Be sure to make reservations for best seating.”

My boyfriend and I first tried Vine on DoorDash and immediately knew it would be added to our regular take out rotation.Then my dad came into town for work, finished his work early so he looked for a place to go eat while I was working, saw a lamb burger on the menu and knew he would he going there! In addition to the great food, the owner and server were both extremely friendly and welcoming.We love Vine Burgers and recommend it to all our friends and visitors in the area!”

“Tom deserves employee of the month, as he provided one of the best customer experiences I’ve had in the fast food industry. Please someone give this man a raise!”
“SO SO GOOD. We got the like Scallop roll and the bake Salmon roll. And there were so many good looking items on the menu we definitely want to come back and try. Great place all around.”
“Obsessed. Jeffrey's is our favorite neighborhood breakfast spot. We like to go an hour or 1.5 hours before closing as the line has died down by this point. My husband is a chicken fried steak connoisseur and he says this is the best one. I'm a big fan of the cobb salad with a side of fries for lunch and the bacon & Brussels sprouts hash for breakfast. The staff are friendly, personable and accommodating. Ambiance is family friendly. Outdoor seating available and dog friendly patio.”
“In my humble opinion the best Indian food in Santa Rosa. The guys working the restaurant are all very friendly and helpful. It’s a simple restaurant that’s very much hidden away. I’ve had a variety of curries and found them to be very good. I haven’t tried any tandoori dishes. Definitely will be back again to dine in. Prices are very reasonable.”
“I've been going to Betty's Fish and Chips sice the early 2000s. I've been a fan of breaded fish since I was in my late teens, which is over fifty years.When I discovered Betty's I hit the jackpot! Another treat is the pies they make. You'll love visiting Betty's.Parking: During the week is a great time for a visit, especially if your retired. Betty's is popular, it can get crowded but the visit is worth it.”
“Just had an excellent pourover Ethiopian Guji light roast. Water coffee ratio was spot on as well as a nicely roasted bean. I appreciate the care that goes into a good cuppa.”
“It is a great place for two or four people. Employes have a good attitude ? to serve the customer. You can eat good food while you can listen to Mexican music ?.”

“Visiting Santa Rosa and you're looking for a local steak house definitely try Starks. Staff are friendly and know steaks and wines! Leo helped us to understand the menu. We were extremely happy and the steaks were delicious paired with a great red wine. Recommend and we'll be back!”
“It would be cool if the boats were being utilized for food. The top part (a conveyor belt) was functional and some of our food came to the table on jt. Overall the food was okay in an area without many Japanese cuisine offerings. If I was around I'd come back, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come. Nice staff, OK service (we came during a busy time). Restaurant was clean.”
“Had dinner there with family and friends. Second time. Both times were fabulous. Jose', the owner was a treat to interact with. We will be back many times. Everything we ordered was delicious.”
“Yum yum yum! Everything is yum. Great food, great wine/wine selection, great service, great atmosphere and interior, great everything! :DVegetarian options: They have fantastic and super yummy vegetarian options!Dietary restrictions: They can work with dietary restrictions!”
“The food and service were both great. The Pate' Charcuterie was plenty for 3 of us to share (had leftovers to bring home). We ordered the Beef Bourguignon & Grilled Akaushi Steak options and all of us LOVED it. The desserts were fabulous...Gateau chocolate Noisette, passionfruit cheesecake, gateau basque w/ crème anglaise.”
“Had a great table in a great setting, great service with Paul, and great food. Lucky us! I have one tip, if you are on a low salt diet this is gonna be hard to pick out something. This is not a criticism. I did find it at the upper end of my personal tolerance, but please understand the food was delicious. Not only delicious but refreshingly creative. We eat by splitting courses. Started with the pimento cheese bread (brioche), this is not a stand-alone ap but a gooey topping on bread that is light, airy, and rich. It went well with their well above average Negroni. Creativity kicked in with the tacos, probably all of them are good. Our pick was pastrami tacos. Very fun. I've heard the duck choice is good. Next were the lamb meatballs. Some people complain about the gaminess of lamb, but I complain when it isn't gamey-lamby enough. If you like mild lamb, their choice of meat is great. My personal preferences aside, it was a very good dish. Finished with a very nice and just-right panna cotta. This place is definitely going into our rotation (The Santa Rosa, CA rotation: B&B, Jackson's, Grossmans, Ca Bianca, Cascabel, Yeti)”
“A+ service and food. Beef Cheek, Salmon, Scallops, Onion Soup and Creme Brule (huge) were extremely well prepared. Beef fell apart with a fork, wonderful flavor. Potatoes under with the gravy, perfect fit. Scallop dish very rich. Cheesy, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Sauce was stupid good. Probably was the highest A+. Onion soup was exactly what it should have been....Classic French Onion Soup. Salmon done very French style. Sauce was over the top good. Creme Brule was huge, biggest I have ever been served (over 100 times). More importantly, excellent flavor and texture (both custard and hard flamed top). Service was attentive, timely and not overbearing. Really awesome experience!!! Will be back very soon!!”
“I ordered the bento box and it was Amazing comes with soup and salad .I ordered the teriyaki chicken and the California Roll ?I also ordered a deep fried roll and it was so delicious. I will be back very soon ..”
“Absolutely delicious food with amazing service!! The ambiance is top notch and staff is friendly! A great experience if you want a real German style meal!!Vegetarian options: A nice selection of options!Parking: The main parking is behind an urgent care and google directions sends you down past the urgent care to find the restaurant. The main front door is not clearly marked but two different doors are easily accessible.”
“This was our last spot of the day. We enjoyed our visit. Our host was super nice, friendly and informative. She gave us info about the wine, the owner, and the area. We had sparkling to whites to reds. We enjoyed sitting outside in the comfy chairs and the view of the vineyard. Such a relaxing place to visit. Walked away with some sparkling wine.”
“The mortadella pizza was very good. The drinks seemed a bit watered down for the price. The crème brûlée special was very good as well as the (lightly) fries beet fries. We look forward to returning to try some different items.”
“Although the staff was in training and we didn't have a tasting reservation, Brooke met us in the parking lot, chatted with us about the winery and even took a few family pictures. Great location and Brooke's warm welcome mean we'll be coming back for sure.”
“Inviting calm quiet atmosphere. Very personable staff. Great drink selection. Nigori sake is a treat not to be missed. I haven't had a roll I didn't like but my favorites are the golden bear, dragon roll, four seasons, under the sea, and Shogun special.”
“We enjoyed a tasting on the beautiful patio on NYE. Laura was very knowledgeable about the wines and even helped me get signed up for the wine club (for the second time - we are returning members because we love it so much). We were served great wines, small bites and the ambiance was fantastic. Our group commented that it was our most enjoyable wine tasting experience of the trip and we visited 7 wineries. Looking forward to receiving my first wine shipment.”
“First time at this Indian restaurant. Had the lunch special and chose the chicken tikka masala. The lunch came with basmati rice.naan and a lentil soup and a salad. The soup was very good with the tasty lentils, salad was with specialty lettuce, also very good and I chose the medium spicy for the masala. It was very good. The restaurant has a check in special that gives 10% off the meal, but our server had no idea what that was, and that he needed to talk with the owner. Ambiance for the place that is in a strip mall was a typical Indian restaurant, very few patrons during our visit. I would return, maybe next time will get that 10% discount.”

“The menu features an array of mouthwatering dishes, from sizzling fajitas and savory enchiladas to flavorful tacos and fresh ceviche. Each dish is expertly prepared with the finest ingredients and authentic recipes, ensuring a dining experience that is both delicious and memorable. With its friendly staff and festive ambiance, La Hacienda del Toro is the perfect destination for a casual meal with family and friends or a special celebration.”
“My husband and I stopped by accident because we thought it was a Hawaiian restaurant, but then we realized it was Peruvian cuisine. I've been to other Peruvian restaurants before, and I must say, this is a good one. I ordered the lobster ravioli and loved it! It was super delicious. My husband ordered the aji de gallina and loved it as well! The waitresses were so nice and fast, and the place is just so pretty!”

“My favorite place love those tacos had the same tacos for years and years and they're still just as good as the day they came out Jack in the box here was very clean very friendly parking lot was clean was very well lit had pretty good access to parking but the crew had a great attitude especially working in the fast food industry where customers can be absolute butt nuggets having to deal with the public day in and day out can be very hectic and trying job these people that work these jobs should be given a lot more credit I think than they are given as usual have nice day”
“Food was as expected for a Denny's. Service was ok. Food did take a while even though we were the only ones inside with a couple of to-go orders. Bummer was hobo parked outside. He came inside and wanted us to buy him food. Guess he didn't know it was tax day yesterday. Get the Denny's phone app if you haven't. It saved us some money.”
“Great place to eat very clean cashiers pleasant and professional food was prepared properly and professionally and was very good however they forgot my napkins lol other than that I give it a nine out of 10 in my rating system take your family and enjoy the many wonderful choices at Jack in the box I just love their two taco order oh my gosh now I have to go down to Jack in the box and get some more tacos have a great day”

“The menu offers a wide variety of options to choose from, and I love being able to customize my order to suit my cravings. The food is consistently delicious, and the prices are affordable, making it a great value for a fast-food meal. 10/10!”
“My wife and I like the Southwest Salad. It's on the menu but when I ordered it I was told that it was discontinued. To the staff, if it's discontinued then atleast remove it from the menu. Also, I ordered stuffed jalapeños, tacos and chicken strips amongst other things, I like to eat the 3 named items with buttermilk and when I asked the cashier for it he told me they were out. So I came back to the hotel without 2 of the main items I like from Jack in the Box.”
“Dining room was open but looked closed. Took a very long time for anyone to acknowledge there were two people at the counter. Took a long time to pick up my mobile order after employee noticed.”
“Hands down, best ramen in Santa Rosa. Their pork belly just falls apart and melts in your mouth, the broth is rich and perfectly flavored, and their noodles are fresh and firm. Couldn't come here without getting their steamed gyoza though too, accompanied with their spicy mayo.”
“Had dinner there with family and friends. Second time. Both times were fabulous. Jose', the owner was a treat to interact with. We will be back many times. Everything we ordered was delicious.”

“The rotating menu keeps things exciting, offering a variety of unique cookie flavors each week alongside their signature classics. Every cookie is baked to perfection, with a perfect balance of chewiness and indulgence that's impossible to resist.”
“Good food, nothing too special for a diner. Good service, Rancheros and pancakes were pretty good. The hashbrowns were pretty bland and unseasoned, but it's whatever.”
“This was the most serendipitous discovery on our trip. We were looking for a brunch spot that served more than just basic staples and didn't charge $$$ for a few eggs. When we saw locomoco on the menu, we knew we had to visit.The service was extremely friendly and sweet, like visiting relatives who were excited to see you after a long time. They were more than happy to accommodate for my diabetes and substituted sauteed veggies instead of rice/bread. My coffee was never empty either! Food came quickly and was exactly what we were craving. We had such a great experience the first morning, we went again the next day! This has quickly become a favorite for the area; can't wait to visit again next year!”

“I want to thank the person who assisted me today at the counter. My sister recently died and I was a nervous wreck there. I mistakenly hit the email receipt and was trying to type in my email address. My hands were so shakey that I just couldn't finish. She was so understanding and helped me cancel the receipt and gave me a paper receipt. That meant a lot to me.”

“The BEST bánh mì (respectfully, it's not "bahn" mi) in Santa Rosa. A plus to their bánh mì is that they will sometimes have homemade Vietnamese desserts that you cannot find anywhere else in Santa Rosa. When I crave for Sam Bo Luong and do not want to drive to San Jose, this is my go to place. Quick service, delicious and authentic food, and friendly owners!”
“Really cute little cafe with all sorts of pizza and baked good options! The servers are quite nice too. I got the most inventive bread pudding that appeared to be a muffin initially. It was lovely and the serving size was massive - felt that it was reasonably priced for the $4.50-$5 that it was .”

Service was excellent, and staff is very knowledgeable about vegan food. The setting is lovely and peaceful, with a fountain at the entrance.This restaurant is a hidden gem. Don't miss it if you're in the Santa Rosa area.”

“I’ve been to a lot of delis, and this is the best deli I’ve ever been to the sandwiches, are amazing everything taste, delicious and fresh. They have their own spin and uniqueness.”
“Visited California to see friends recently I went to this restaurant. There was a large group of us and the staff did a great job taking our orders and getting everything right. I personally do not like the food but that's just me and my personal preference. It does not negate the fact that the restaurant was well-maintained and clean, staff were so helpful and nice, and we received great service. I do think that their price very high and are extremely limited on food options. I'm sure they're franchised and required to only have these few options so I'm sure nothing can be done about that. However I really did enjoy my experience and I'm so glad I finally got to go and try this restaurant out. I would absolutely recommend for a visit!”
“An explosion of flavors in every bite! This restaurant exceeds all expectations when it comes to burgers. The combination of ingredients is innovative and delicious, and each burger is a masterpiece in itself. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family."”
“I mean its a good place for food. Considering the over options like mcdonald, popeye, kfc etc...seriously tho the best fast food around for your choices of chicken sandwiches.”
“I go here often to pick up lunch for my wife and I during her lunch break as she works at the Macy's at calling Town Mall within the same parking lot as this Subway that is within the Valero gas station. There's a young woman by the name of Liz who is very professional and very kind and quick and good at her job. You can actually hear her smile when she speaks. I think she legitimately is enjoying her job because it is pretty hard to fake that with every customer so I think her positivity is most definitely for real. Out of the many times I've gone here to pick up lunch there's only one time I ever had a problem and it was when she was really busy making a big order for another customer and I was stuck waiting for 5 minutes while Liz was by herself making everything and then after that 5 minute wait another Subway employee who was a much older woman decided to help me but why did she make me wait so long? That long wait made me think that Liz was there by herself. Other than that everything has been great here”
“Stopped by this Dairy Queen for a snack while traveling through. Got two banana split blizzards and some cheese curds. The Blizzards were excellent and the cheese curds cooked perfectly. And the best part were the two girls who prepared it. Very friendly and courteous. Excellent experience.”
“Burger King has undoubtedly earned its place as one of the best fast food restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of visiting, and it's all thanks to the iconic Whopper. The moment I took my first bite of that flame-grilled masterpiece, I was hooked. The Whopper's perfectly charred patty, topped with fresh lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and tangy pickles, all held together by a soft sesame seed bun, creates an expolsion of flavors that lingers in my taste buds. It's a burger experience like no other, and it keeps me coming back for more. With its mouthwatering taste and unwavering quality, Burger King has certainly won my heart as the ultimate go-to fast food destination.P.S. I've 10,000 Whoppers”
“This Starbucks is great! There are two Starbucks locations close to my work and I always prefer this location over the others as the drinks are made the quickest, the staff is always very nice and the atmosphere is the most pleasant. Anna helped me today and she was so nice. Great customer service should be commended and she deserves a raise.”
“This is the best burger king I've ever been to. I've never had cold food or a wrong order, despite coming frequently. They serve my favorite French fries in all of santa rosa; always perfectly crispy and freshly heated. And the employees are beyond helpful, even at the latest hours. People expect too much from a fast food joint, yall do the best with what youre paid and I appreciate you for doing it!!”
“Can always count on a consistent experience with these huge corporate guys. They are certainly keeping up with the price increases that are seen across the board. As they should, I suppose.”
“The food here is Yummy and we really enjoy the chips and salsa ( which isn't too hot ).Everything is fresh and delicious.I love going through the drive thru and chatting with Victor.He's very nice and makes me feel special !Muchas Gracias !”
“Taco Bell is my go-to spot for tasty and affordable Tex-Mex cuisine! Whether I'm craving crunchy tacos, cheesy quesadillas, or flavorful burritos, Taco Bell always delivers on flavor and value. The menu offers a wide variety of options to choose from, including vegetarian and vegan-friendly choices.”
“They've definitely did a beautiful upgrade to Starbucks on Hopper the employees are awesome and have awesome people skills ? ? I'd definitely recommend Starbucks as place that makes you feel at home ? ?”
“This particular Taco Bell has a very organized crew. All women prepare the food. Fluent in English and Spanish. The fastest service with the largest portion size in Santa Rosa, CA.”
“The food is the best, very good service and the place is very striking. Recommended.Dietary restrictions: Healthy menusKid-friendliness: Kids mealsWheelchair accessibility: Tables for the disabled”
“We were in the mood for fish N chips and The Goose & Fern was at the top of the YELP list. We tried it today. A delightful, smiling and very pleasant young woman greeted us, brought our beverages and took our order. The wait time was incredibly slow. In most restaurants, a diner can tell if the wait staff is the problem or if the kitchen is the problem. The food, when it finally came, was delicious, hot and as expected. Again, the server brought us the condiments we requested quickly. These folks need help in the kitchen! Either the kitchen staff doesn't know how to multi-task or they are disorganized or, more likely, they are understaffed. 5 stars for the server and the food. The wait time drops you down a point.”
Brewery • $$
“One of the best up-and-coming breweries in Northern California. Brewery itself is great. Good selection of very drinkable beers and a lot you can buy cans for. We've had them once before when in Santa Rosa and look forward to when they will be available all over.Brewery is really nice - kid and dog friendly (yes, we did have the people with the screaming kids next to us - people who do not understand other people exist in the world and don't want to hear your screaming kids the whole time we're trying to enjoy some beers - but that's not the brewery's fault - just be aware - if you don't want to be around screaming kids and parents who just let their kids go - this is not the place for you).Any place that lets dogs in is going to a good place. They have games here too and of course we left with shirts and hoodies.Support this place. With a lot of the breweries in the area closing down, it's good this place is thriving and hopefully will grow. It seems like Henhouse (who we also love) has really taken over the area but there's plenty of room for another great brewery.Also, if there's a beer you want to take home that they don't can, they will bottle some for you right there. That is awesome!! We of course took advantage of this - love it.”
“A+ service and food. Beef Cheek, Salmon, Scallops, Onion Soup and Creme Brule (huge) were extremely well prepared. Beef fell apart with a fork, wonderful flavor. Potatoes under with the gravy, perfect fit. Scallop dish very rich. Cheesy, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Sauce was stupid good. Probably was the highest A+. Onion soup was exactly what it should have been....Classic French Onion Soup. Salmon done very French style. Sauce was over the top good. Creme Brule was huge, biggest I have ever been served (over 100 times). More importantly, excellent flavor and texture (both custard and hard flamed top). Service was attentive, timely and not overbearing. Really awesome experience!!! Will be back very soon!!”
Cheap Eats
“A rare find and in an “out of the way”location. The selection of Filipino dishes is quite ample and the serving size is fair in comparison to being at a Filipino family event ? Great flavors, service, all in a quaint space. The Kare Kare with the shrimp paste is my fav, as well as the lumpias and crab rangoon. Pork and seafood plates are best to eat in on an empty stomach—you need to fully enjoy (and finish) every bite. They also have take away and are very quick in getting your order out, so give it a try as soon as you can.Parking: It shares the lot with Molsberry’s and all the businesses in that location. Lunch on the weekend can be a bit tight due to people grocery shopping, though most days it is easy to find a spot.”
“I wasn’t sure how the food would be because it’s located in a small hidden grocery store but it was so delicious that I went back to order more. My favorite is the lamb and beef pita/ wrap.Cooked and seasoned amazing. A new ”
“Gotta say when you're in the mood for a satisfying meal, this is the place. Stopped in for lunch yesterday. The patty melt was perfect, The fries were overcooked and crispy, almost like matchsticks. The service was great and friendly. I think this is more of a breakfast place, as most of the folks around us were still enjoying breakfast. Large waffles, ample portions, steaming omelettes, you get the idea. The real deal.”
“We discovered this restaurant via Yelp and gave it a try. We were greeted warmly upon entering and our orders were taken rather quickly. My friend & I shared the veggie Drunken Noodles which were excellent- fresh veggies, nice flavor and tender noodles. We also had the edamame which was good. Our server was loquacious & friendly. We definitely will return here again.”
“I loved this place, I felt cared for by my family at the moment and the greeting was the best, the burger was at its peak as I like it juicy, the lemonade drink is incredible, I will recommend all my friends to go to this place. Experience 10/10”
“This is not just a coffee shop it’s an experience! The coffee, the people, and the environment were amazing! The barista is an artist! The owner was so lovely! I wished I lived here to have this place brighten my day everyday.”
“We Could Eat Here EverydayWe discovered Lee’s while staying at a nearby hotel. It was love at first bite!The authentic Vietnamese restaurant is outstanding. The menu offers Pho, noodles, Banh Mi, stir fry, fried rice, and chow mein, all available in seafood, beef, pork, or chicken. There are also vegan and kids menus.Lee and his wife are lovely hosts, making everyone welcome. Lee’s sense of humor is contagious. We enjoyed lively conversation and his attentive service.We dearly loved the shrimp chow mein, shrimp/squid noodle soup, Vietnamese spring rolls with shrimp and pork, and steamed pot stickers. All were fantastic, but warning – servings are enormous. We had too much food to finish. Also, Lee’s does not serve alcohol but has a wide variety of beverages on hand.Try them when in the area; you’ll be glad you did.”
“The restaurant was quite busy, indicative of its quality. The food was excellent, and the staff adeptly managed the high volume of customers, resulting in surprisingly short wait times. Cool looking building as well.”
“From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, tempting you to indulge in a rich and flavorful cup of joe. Whether you prefer a classic espresso or a creamy latte, Brew Coffee and Beer House has you covered with their expertly crafted beverages made from premium beans sourced from around the world.”
“The best fish & chips in town, but also a really great place for lunch or dinner, even if you don't feel like fish. Their chicken strips, jalapeño poppers, fried zucchini, etc. are all great. Quick and friendly service. Whenever someone asks me where a good place for food is around here, I always tell them about this place first. Highly recommended.”
“Simply AMAZING STREET TACO VALUE!! And the flavor is OUTSTANDING!! Super friendly staff and the milk shakes my two boys had, they LOVED because they we not over sweet! Thank you!! Where else can you order 12 Tacos and two milk shakes, two baskets chips and all the salsa we could eat, and 4 glasses of water each for less that $50???? This day and age, not anywhere else I've friend. Seriously ya all need to come eat some GREAT TACOS FOR TINY MONEY!!! $2.49 each!!!”
“This is a very cute and Qwaint brewery, it definitely feels more like a lounge. And opens pretty early, which is great However, they were children there late at around 10. Which is not great when you’re drinking with friends.”
“Delicious fresh foods and generous portions are served in a pleasant Mediterranean environment by cordial staff. I'd eat here everyday if I could!Vegetarian options: Excellent east west tofu salad with Tahiti dressing!”
“Las Palmas is our favorite place to grab a burrito. Veggie burrito is the best around. My go to is al pastor. It's hard to try the other meat when this one is so good!”
“Hard for us to find a place where all family members are in agreement about a dining experience. My whole crew was on board with this place. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The staff were kind and attentive. So glad we stopped by. Will most definitely return!”
“On a Saturday night, felt a little crammed and forgotten about but understandable. I disliked the Expressro Martini and would not recommend it. My SO got their Irish Coffee special and loved it to where he ordered another. We enjoyed a small size of both Mini Corn Dogs and Jalapeno Peppers. Both weren't breathtaking, but hit the spot in terms of delicious bar food.”
“Six of us, four adults and two children, had dinner at La Rosa recently and were very happy with our experience. The food, service, and ambiance were outstanding. We were seated outside on the patio. It was a bit chilly but they had the heaters going and it was very comfortable. The food was excellent. We started with drinks and guac. Two of us had mocktails which I am beginning to prefer to the real thing, one had sangria and one beer. It was a nice start. Four of us had the combination plates which include one or two of a selection of items including tacos plus refried beans and rice. One of our group had fish tacos and the other chimichanga. My combo had a chili relleno and a crispy beef taco. My wife had a tamale with a crispy taco. They were very good and there was a lot of food. Our server Carrie was very helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend.”
“Ordered a sope with no lechuga but when they brought it out, it was filled with lettuce but I didn’t want to say anything so i scraped it off…other than that, food was good. Chips and the green dip was good. Parking can be limited and in the same area as walgreens, and other mini places like sushi and froyo.”
“Hidden gem in Santa Rosa. Food was delicious. We ordered cherry crispy pork, orange sesame beef, war wanton soup, happy family, po-po flaming platter and all were great. Our favorite was the orange sesame beef because it was just with the right amount of batter (lightly battered) to make it crispy but tender beef. Highly recommend!Parking: But after 6pm, it was free. You can park behind the restaurant or around the streets.”
“We were so incredibly blown away by the food and the staff! The drinks were so tasty and creative, and each plate was seasoned so well. We had never been here before, so we were shocked at how small the seating area is. But surprisingly, they move quickly! They even started us with drinks and appetizers on the front patio. Darion was an amazing server! He was so helpful and hilarious, and wonderfully kind and patient. We will absolutely be back to try more items on the menu.”
“Absolutely delicious food with amazing service!! The ambiance is top notch and staff is friendly! A great experience if you want a real German style meal!!Vegetarian options: A nice selection of options!Parking: The main parking is behind an urgent care and google directions sends you down past the urgent care to find the restaurant. The main front door is not clearly marked but two different doors are easily accessible.”
“Food: 3.5/5Overall: A good option for some island food in Santa Rosa.Would I come back: If I was in Santa Rosa and was craving some island food yes indeed.The extended review…Food:Canoa con carne molida - 3.5/5 - Never seen this dish at any other island restaurant. I’m a fan of all the components so gave it a go. I would have liked a little more meat but overall not bad.Flan - 4/5 - A very creamy and silky flan. Best of all it didn’t have the skin that results from overcooking. - Friendly and attentive service. - A very festively decorated interior.”
“This was our last spot of the day. We enjoyed our visit. Our host was super nice, friendly and informative. She gave us info about the wine, the owner, and the area. We had sparkling to whites to reds. We enjoyed sitting outside in the comfy chairs and the view of the vineyard. Such a relaxing place to visit. Walked away with some sparkling wine.”
“Best sushi in Santa Rosa! We always get fast and friendly service. The sushi is made with fresh ingredients and you can definitely taste the difference. We appreciate they don't smother all the rolls with a bunch of sauce like other sushi restaurants. The ingredients are always fresh and clean . We pick up all the time and we've never been disappointed. I have two young picky eaters and they love Kamura! They won't eat sushi from anywhere else ( I've tried) ...but they gobble this stuff down quick! This is our favorite restaurant.”
“The mortadella pizza was very good. The drinks seemed a bit watered down for the price. The crème brûlée special was very good as well as the (lightly) fries beet fries. We look forward to returning to try some different items.”
“We wanted to try a new sushi place, this is going to be our new favorite! We tried the gyoza, Dragon Roll, Hamachi Lovers roll, and the Tropical Dream roll. Everything was delicious and very fresh (which is saying something since we went towards closing time on a Monday night). The service was very friendly and the prices were very reasonable. Great spot for date night!”
“The Chickpea dip is served warm with toasted pita. The flavor is mild and pairs perfectly with the wine. Next we ordered the Fish Goulash which is warm, crispy and delicious! For extra flavor we ordered a side of spicy lentils. They made my #5 fresh to order so it took the longest but worth the wait! Then we ordered a meat combo to go for good measure. Lol Great staff and comfortable atmosphere to share real good food with people you like since you may be sharing food and eating with your fingers. Always delicious and everyone I've brought comes back! Must try! Be adventurous!”
“Thank you to all of the reviewers, we also loved this delicious, clean, friendly restaurant! Everything was super fresh, delicious and carefully presented, plenty of food. Hot food was piping hot and Chirashi Bowl was full of fresh, nice & cold sashimi. Just an FYI; the Korean vegetable pancake while delicious is a bit greasy and tea very flavorless (pass on tea). Restaurant, tables, seats, all plates and cups were modern and super clean!The restaurant has large flat screens on each wall to watch sports (golf/soccer were on 02.13.24).Thank you so much!!!Photos;-Chirashi Bowl-Korean Vegetable Pancake-2 Item Bento (Tonkatsu & Tempura)”
“Get there 30 minutes early for trivia on Thursdays. The trivia host/bartender is not over bubbly and seems slightly uncomfortable hosting, but is super nice and that adds to the appeal for me. Great spot, highly recommend their original card game, Weed, Beer, Horse”
“Mitch, thank you for describing how you bring out the taste of the earth the grapes are trying to express. I loved Dragon’s Back, and will have to add that to my wish list for when we come back. I know that I will enjoy your wine club I joined.”
“I used to go there a lot the food was amazing as well as the service. The restaurant gives you the Indian cultural look which is pretty good. The only thing that is missing is having some music. Overall my experience at this restaurant is great.”
“Although the staff was in training and we didn't have a tasting reservation, Brooke met us in the parking lot, chatted with us about the winery and even took a few family pictures. Great location and Brooke's warm welcome mean we'll be coming back for sure.”
“Sam's For Play Cafe is a quaint and reasonable priced eatery. We found the food excellent. Staff is very pleasant and helpful. We will be eating there when we are in the area.”
“Inviting calm quiet atmosphere. Very personable staff. Great drink selection. Nigori sake is a treat not to be missed. I haven't had a roll I didn't like but my favorites are the golden bear, dragon roll, four seasons, under the sea, and Shogun special.”
“The food is pretty good but it seems like the the food changes each time I go. This is in regards to the consistency of the food (more liquid versus thicker).The Masala sampler platter had no lamb kabob in it as advertised on the menu.”
“I like this brewery - it's cute and has kind of a locals vibe. The beer selection is pretty good but I definitely want to come back and try the delicious smelling food.”
“I'm a big Sushi fan! This place was awesome! I'll be back! (It's in Santa Rosa, I'm in Petaluma)Great atmosphere and wait staff was attentive and courteous! I'm a big jalapeno fan.. the 911 Roll was the ticket!”
“Apparently, I've never written a review for my favorite Italian place, so here we are. I have been going here off and on for about 7 years after discovering it during a restaurant week. It can be expensive, so I don't get to have it as much as I'd like, but it has been my favorite date night spot. My kids like it too, especially hearing some of the staff speaking Italian, it is a smaller space so it gets a bit loud on busy nights so my daughter with sensitive ears brings her ear plugs just in case. If you like dessert, the tiramisu and lemoncello are our favorites.”
“We came for an early dinner on Easter, our first time here. The owner, Joe, was very welcoming, as was the staff. We had a club sandwich and the pot pie. Both were quite tasty. The pot pie crust was nice and flaky, and the seasoning was just right. The tater tots were crispy and not greasy with good flavor. The brownie a la mode was yummy as well, not dried out, and good portion size.There was an error with our order initially, and the staff and owner went above and beyond to make it right. Mistakes happen, and it’s always nice to see a place that takes care of it and makes sure you leave happy.We will be back! We look forward to checking out the patio when it opens in the summer.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp to the entrance and one van-accessible spot. Not sure about wheelchair accessibility to the patio, as there are stairs to a lower level inside.”
“Staff is overall amazing here, a lot of very good people work for henhouse that have welcome family and friends over the years. I highly recommend trying out their variety of west coast, saison, lager, stout and also the Big Chicken. Daniel, Aishka, Joe and John wonderful work.”
“Thank you Sam's for the lovely catering job. You were positive, attentive, punctual and delivered exactly what you promised.Dietary restrictions: The lady sitting next to me was gluten free. You were ready with an alternative and accommodating.”
“Still the best thai place in Santa Rosa in my opinion. Took some people here and they loved it. I ordered my usual favorites like the tofu soup, holy basil chicken and drunken noodle for the first time in several years since I had been trying other noodle dishes during previous visits. Great portions and service and normal prices for what you get”
“Went for Sonoma County Restaurant Week Dinner Food - 5/5. Caprese was fresh and I liked the addition of the arugula for its peppery finish. Big chunks of salt gave it a sharp taste and the balsamic added a sour flavor with a hint of sweetness. Caesar salad was loaded with aged parmesan, adding a huge level of umami to contrast the light, crunchy romaine. Cibo star was very rich, being loaded with different meats and plenty of cheese. The dough had a good chew on them and the star shaped stuffed crust was fun to eat, reminding me of a cheese calzone. The rich flavor did get overwhelming, but having a marinara sauce as a dip helped balance it out. Rack of lamb had a delicious marinade that gave it a distinct flavor of balsamic. It was a little overcooked, being on the medium well side of doneness, but the marinade kept the lamb tender. Asparagus had a nice bite and the aged parmesan added a savory flavor. Zeppole were fantastic! Each piece was fried well having a crispy and chewy texture. The sauces were decadent and sweet with the chocolate being my favorite. Sweetness level was just right to pair with the fried items. Service - 5/5. Service was friendly and professional to the end. We came closer to closing time and our dessert came out after close. Out of respect for their time, we took it to go after a few bites but we never felt rushed from the staff. Value - 5/5. The restaurant week special was three courses for $35. The options showcased their menu items but also included things that aren't on their regular menu such as the lamb. Although delicious, I felt that only two pieces of lamb was a little small for portions. The sweet perk was fantastic offering a huge plate of zeppole for only $5. Their pizzas are all in the mid $20s range which was fair considering the amount of toppings, cheese and size of the pizza. Absolutely fantastic restaurant week location! Parking - Mall Lot (Free)”
“This is a great place to go and have a beer with friends. They have a nice open space that also feels welcoming. I’ve played trivia here as well and the game was fun although challenging. The beer they had on tap was great. Strongly recommend stopping in and they are located next to the mall so parking isn’t often an issue. Always drive responsibly.”
“There were four of us, we had the Thai food dinner for three and at first it was overwhelming how much food they put on the table. Then a nice young lady came out and explained how to eat it and what most of it was. We will be back.”
“We enjoyed wine tasting here on the patio. We did not have reservations, but they graciously found a spot for us anyway. They really are a friendly bunch! We bought two bottles of wine. They really focus on Pinos, but I usually prefer Cabernet. Despite that, we'll definitely be back to enjoy a nice glass of wine on the patio. If only we lived closer...”
“Very good Mexican food and a charming server named Payton...She tolerated my special order burrito! My niece and her husband and I really enjoyed our Wednesday evening dinner!Parking: Relatively small strip mall with ample parking.”
“Really good sushi, fresh fish, veteran sushi chef Gilbert takes great care of his customers at the sushi bar. As far as menu pricing goes, Makizushi lands on the affordable side of the sushi spectrum. New owner is a young entrepreneur, doing a great job!”
“I've been supporting Mr. Chu's restaurants for decades with Osaki being my wife's favorite. Food and ingrediate quality, a true family run business environment, and their shared commitment to consistency are especially noteworthy. From the moment you walk in and see the koi swimming and Mr. CHU deftly working his magic behind the Sushi bar, you know everybody in your party is going to have a great experience. It's a very rare restaurant experience these days.Parking: Convenient”
“If you want to find a truly Italian experience in the middle of Sonoma County; this is it. I’ve never had better food or service anywhere else and I travel a lot for work! Fantastic family atmosphere, and the food and service are better than anywhere else! I eat there every single time I’m in my hometown.”
“Authentic Thai food. Taste is unbelievably good. I am a Thai food lover and have explored almost all the restaurants in Bay Area. But I can say food here is really really good.”
“Love this local juice spot. Extremely fresh and delicious juices and smoothies. I’m in here almost every day! Only giving four stars as the staff could be more friendly and welcoming. The quality of juice and convenience outweighs that.”
“I only heard about this place from a random recommendation off Facebook for "good, inexpensive salads" or the "best eggplant sandwich". They did not disappoint! I got the hot grilled eggplant sando and the smell was intoxicating, the garlic mayo is dreamy! Those who say they had no flavor I only imagine asked for no special sauce ,no pickled thingsor no melty cheese or maybe they had covid. You don't even need chips (which are often my required supplement for sandwich eating). And dang the people were so nice, and not annoying nice, just real friendly.(no sandwich in photo for obvious reasons...just proof I went)”
“I have been going to the Wagon Wheel since 1989 to play pinball. They have a tournament style shuffleboard table, as well as the pool tables. One of the best parts of going to the wheel is putting money in the Jukebox and dancing around not having a care in the world. Nobody cares and nobody judges. I actually have the owners of the Wagon Wheel to thank for helping me graduate college. I used to go there to do my homework because I was homeless and didn't have any internet . I hold all kinds of love and respect for the owner's Mark and Rob and the bartenders Kat, Brian, Luke and Jason.”
“It's a shame I don't have photos, however this place is absolutely amazing! Their milkshakes, their burgers, their fries and everything's perfect! I highly recommend it however it is somewhat on the pricer side of all restaurants.Not really any designated parking spots, just a few spots on the street usually taken.Parking: Not really any designated parking spots, just a few spots on the street usually taken.”
“Rosso is a culinary delight! Fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and friendly service. A must-visit for a memorable Italian dining experience in the heart of the city.”
“We really enjoyed eating here. We had eaten at the yeti in Santa Rosa, and not enjoyed the experience nearly this much. Some interesting items on the menu that I had not had before at an Indian restaurant.”
“This place deserves a rare 5 star review. Brought the family on Easter for lunch, extra comfortable atmosphere but tasteful and high quality. Food was surprising good, every element, all 4 lunches a hit, quantity and quality was great. Good specials menu which lured 2 of us to try special crab dishes (usually a bad idea) but the crab was local, super fresh, big portions. Actually, they only use local ingrediants and each plate's presentation was great. We were each convinced we had ordered the best dish on the menu. Service was great, we forced our server to recommend dishes and asked a ton of questions, he ended up way out on a limb then looked like a pro when each of us told him he was 100% right.”
“We haven’t been in years and we almost didn’t go tonight after I started reading reviews. We walked in at prime busy time on a Friday night with two kids and got the second to last table. Our server greeted us and brought us all water. We ordered our drinks then ordered appetizers. The bacon wrapped dates and rosemary steak with fondue were to die for. Kids got pretzels and French fries which were also really good. Hubby got tacos and I got the truffle pizza. Kids shared a cheese pizza. We couldn’t eat it all but WOW. Food was phenomenal. Server was nice and attentive and the guy delivering our food did a great job, would clear plates and ask if we needed anything. We were impressed and would definitely be back. Even my 9 year old was eating up the steak appetizer! So glad we gave this place another chance years later, best food we’ve had in a long time. We will make sure to add this to our rotation of top local places to eat out moving forward! …ps never had a bad lunch/dinner here, regret waiting so long to come back!”
“Dino is the man! Thise place is the best! Old world style, which sadly you don't see anymore. I had such a good time here. Walked out with a mixed case. Beautiful Zinfandels, beautifuly aged. There 01 and 02 Zins were Phenomenal!”
“Wonderful food. We had the starter appetizer which was amazing especially the lettuce wrap and egg rolls. The mixed green salad and the garlic broccoli were also 2 huge favorites. Menu a little pricey and service was fair/good since restaurant was busy. Definitely coming back!!”
“Great ambiance, kind (and usually FAST) service, very yummy food (try the molcajete mix..... sooooo flavorful and enough for 3 meals), and wonderful cocktails (the margarita flight is a favorite but the Paloma is a close second).Dietary restrictions: The molcajetes are great for a low carb option!Parking: Parking lot gets full during peak timesKid-friendliness: Several options for kids, some of which are smaller portions of the main menu (my oldest likes the kids enchilada) and others that are American (my youngest likes the chicken nuggets and fries)Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is wheelchair accessible and all of the tables (minus a few tall tables) would accommodate a wheelchair no problem”
“They have the best sampler plates. I think the best food authentic and the surface was absolutely brilliant fast. No problems whatsoever. Nice atmosphere. How many place to go to to get something warm and filling?”
“Service was excellent! Food was yummy! The bread was so good, heated perfectly. The Halal chicken was yummy with all the condiments. I added pickles! Definitely will be back. I ordered through the mobile app! It was ready when I got there! Parking was easy at 1pm. Fun atmosphere!”
“OK. I've NEVER posted a rating on anything ever. But I feel compelled to give a shout out to Hang Ah. I dined there this evening with some friends. The food was delicious. The service very good. The decor wasn't luxorious, but perfectly servicable and confortable. Here's the thing: When we were walking out to our cars after dinner one of the waiters came running out of the restaurant shouting that one of us had dropped something on the floor. When he caught up to us he showed us a hundred dollar bill and a fifty dollar bill (they happened to be mine). Of course that was the right thing to do, but my guess if that it's also a rare thing to do. So thanks Hang Ah for shoring up my faith in humanity!”
“I’ve lived in Santa Rosa my whole life and have never been to Sandy’s. I was incredibly surprised that there is such a great local pizza place that has been here for so long. I would say this might be the best pizza I have had in Santa Rosa. Blows mombos out the door. Large combo was $30. The people working there were very nice.”
“All the food was very good and the service is good, only that they give an extra charge when there are several people, it is like 18% and I don't see the point of charging it.”
“The Healdsburg location was outstanding!!!Staff was very friendly and informative. Its always nice to be treated and greated like you matter and especially makes you want return with family and friends the next time around… Always remember the importance of attitude and service, makes such a huge difference these days. ?? great job!Oh!! OMG!! and seriously!! The pizza and beer was outstanding!!! ? huge plus!!! ??⭐️⭐️⭐️??”
“Haven't been here in so many years. It was wonderful then, and even better now. The prices are more than reasonable, my portion so generous that I had 2 delicious lunches afterward. The service was polite and personal; our person introduced herself, learned our names, and called us by our names even as we left. We stayed comfortably, could converse in normal tones, and the food was superb. I'll be back soon.Parking: Fourth street. Many restaurants. You may have to park a block away, not a problem.”
“Great place to stop by and get something quick to eat for less than $14 dollars. It would be nice if they served a bit more but great taste and I can definitely see myself going back to this place.”
“I love coming in here(almost daily) for my wheatgrass and breakfast. Everyone is kind and efficient. They genuinely care when they ask how i'm doing. It makes me feel like i'm at home and I love it!”
“Absolutely loved this quaint little taqueria. Yummy fresh tacos and burritos. They make their own tortilla chips and offer delicious horchata and agua fresa. The best part was their robotic cat waiter— pretty high tech and futuristic. I appreciate that they offer plenty of vegetarian/vegan options. I would definitely recommend this charming restaurant.”
“Neat and clean Whole Foods. It's in the mall that's close to my house, which is super convenient. I have an Amazon Prime membership, so that helps. I don't eat any meat except fish and seafood. It's a great spot for that. Not so big, but I'm just happy to have it around!”
“I want to give a huge shoutout to Legends for being there for me during the Kincade fire. It was important for me to be online during the power outages (for work reasons, but also so I didn't go insane) and my usual alternate workspace was in an evac zone. Legends staff spotted me working at a table during breakfast and invited me to set up a temporary office in their quiet banquet area. Power, wifi, food, and a cold beer at the end of the day went a LONG way to keeping me sane. Their staff was slammed and still smiling. THANK YOU to Legends!”
“We often go here for drinks so we wanted to try dinner. Just a tad overpriced in my opinion. Fake plants for the price they could have a florist come in with fresh arrangements. Will be back at the bar and on a side note they changed the happy hour menu also, not as good as it was...miss those beef tips”
“Their beef Birria is so yummy… I accidentally had an order cancel with Doordash and I got to try it. I will drive across town to get the soup! Delicious!!! Fresh!!”
“I had a great experience dining here. I came for dinner and all the dishes I ordered were fresh and delicious. The walnut prawns are made with a very good sauce which paired nicely with rice. I also enjoyed the chow mien and hot and sour soup. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, and the server was sweet and helpful. I will be coming here again!”
“Incredible atmosphere, incredible food, and amazing staff! Best experience! Highly recommended this place! Also very kid friendly! My autistic picky child even loved it and ate her whole plate!”
“Finally! I have been meaning to eat here since they opened. I had the lunch combination of the minestrone soup and meatball sandwich. The soup was especially yummy.”
“Good food. Reasonable prices. Pretty unattractive decor. Surprising after more than a year of supposed remodeling that the place doesn’t look more welcoming. Perhaps time will change that. For now, however, you can certainly enjoy a good meal with a great view of the mountains.”
“DEEEE-licious!!! I had no clue what I’ve been missing out on. I’ve been setting my money on fire with Round Table for years wondering if the pizza is going to be very good or COMPLETELY the opposite. Like one time where they forgot the sauce and tried to trick into thinking it was “hidden under the cheese” please man, my taste buds don’t make a conscious decision to lie to me.Anyway, these guys got it going ON. I knew the pizza was good when I delivered a DoorDash order from Windsor to Graton. I spring for the thick crust. Very friendly people from not only when I pick up DoorDash orders from them but my own orders. Plus they have insane deals all the time. I just bought an extra large for the price of a large, I don’t even know how they stay in business! Definitely worth your time.”
“Having worked at a sushi restaurant and tried many around the area, this is by far the best.Freshest fish. Perfect sushi rice. Amazing service. Everything was perfect and this will be our new standard to which others are held.”
“Magic mushrooms were delicious. Our server Dominic was the best, very friendly and making well informed recommendations. We wish the pork and duck in our dishes were a bit more juicy. My partner had the Pork Plancha and I had the Duck Carnitas Tacos. Drinks were creative and delicious. At the end of the day the menu items at Lazeaway club are creatively done while still wonderfully combining flavors.”
“Mount Mike’s can go wrong with their pizza. I was delicious. I was great especially this extra large 20 slices for next time you wanna excellent pizza come to Mountain Mike’s a true franchise pizzeria. ???????☝? love food love life.”
“Still one of my favorite restaurants! My son loves the habatchi show. His favorite part is the ?! Try it once and you won't regret it! Yum!Kid-friendliness: Wonder for show and dinner for littles!!!”
“The wine list is impressive, boasting a diverse selection of varietals from around the world to complement your meal perfectly. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or simply looking to enjoy a glass with your dinner, the knowledgeable sommeliers are on hand to guide you through the selection.”
“Delicious kalbi, spicy kimchi tofu stew, and best stone bibimbab I have ever had. Very friendly service. Casual and comfy ambiance. Best Korean restaurant in Sonoma county!”

“Our family had a last minute birthday party here and we had a great experience. David and Jerry were great and accommodated our party so well with smile and amazing customer service. We appreciated so it much! And David was training a new person as well and handled it well.”
“I've been enjoying this food truck, I just usually get a bean, rice and cheese for 8.75 with tax. I've also had some bigger orders as well but lately I've been on the search for under 10.00 lunches and this place, I like!”
“Molly was training Christian during our lunch and they were on top of everything, super friendly service. Drinks were flowing, the food is consistently fresh and as usual we left happy and satisfied ?”
“To call Crystal's Corner merely a donut shop would be a disservice! Yes, the donuts are excellent -- I especially love their apple fritters -- but they also have breakfast sandwiches, hamburgers, tacos, chow mein, teriyaki; the list just goes on and on. I'll grant you that some of their non-donut items are not exactly gourmet, but they get the job done, and the prices are very reasonable. I'm lucky to live right down the street because some mornings the line is out the door, so we have to come back later!”
“We had a wonderful time celebrating my daughter's bridal shower. Everyone had a wonderful time. Food was good and staff was very nice and attentive. I would recommend Tudor Rose to anyone thinking of having a wonderful celebration.”
“Their food was great, the service and management was helpful and the old school feeling inside was awesome too. Unfortunately they are no longer in business for over a month or so. I saw a PG&E letter of power shutoff stuck on the window a couple of weeks ago and the tables and chairs are all gone now.”
“SO SO GOOD. We got the like Scallop roll and the bake Salmon roll. And there were so many good looking items on the menu we definitely want to come back and try. Great place all around.”
“I couldn't find the location for taqueria lupita in fulton since I actually ate at that location instead of the one in Santa rosa but I gotta say the food here was great. It was my first time coming here and for it being my local food truck I will for sure be coming here more often. The service was quick and pretty good price.”
“Tom deserves employee of the month, as he provided one of the best customer experiences I’ve had in the fast food industry. Please someone give this man a raise!”
“Incredible hand-tossed oven-baked pizzas with so many unique ingredients that make their pizzas truly stand apart. This isn't your everyday pizza place - they have a Greek deli with Gyros, Baklava, Spanakopita, Greek salads and more. All their ingredients are locally sourced and they are family owned. They have great specials, HUGE calzones and a New York style slice counter too. They have beers on tap, wine and a great happy hour to make you want to stick around on their shaded/heated patio. Highly recommend their Phoenix Pizza, Zeus pizza, Cubano calzone, and their incredible gyros. The lamb alone is something to write home about.This is a family-run, small operation so be patient while they are hand-preparing every item with care and freshness in mind. Calling ahead or ordering online is always a great option too!”

“The minute we stepped into this restaurant, we were greeted by a nice young lady (who my four-year-old child greeted with a nice compliment of her dress). She placed us near the open kitchen and after we ordered, we were surprised with a plate of little munchies including grapes, celery, carrots, cheese, chips, and peanut butter (for free). My daughter devoured this. We ordered a cheese pizza for her and a sausage and caramelized onion pizza and three grilled shrimp tacos. We also shared truffle fries- which we were planning to take home but never quite made it since we ate it all. The food was great- the smokiness of the sauce in the tacos paired with the grilled shrimp and the freshness of the slaw in the tacos made it perfectly balanced. The ambiance felt lively with the open kitchen. I loved watching them place the pizzas in the beehive oven and the pizzas came out perfect. The staff was very attentive and filled our drinks when it was running low. I was very impressed with this place and will be returning with my family again.”
“Good food, nothing too special for a diner. Good service, Rancheros and pancakes were pretty good. The hashbrowns were pretty bland and unseasoned, but it's whatever.”
“Danielle is amazing.Normally I take my two kiddos here and it’s a headache. They’re 2 and 8 and it’s just a process. Eating out with 2 kids can be an adventure.She’s sweet, attentive and fast. Practically runs throughout the place. I heard several customers compliment her aside from us. The smoothest experience I’ve ever had here (and being that this is my eldest’s favorite place, we are FREQUENTERS) but I’ve never had an experience like today.”
“We had a large party and so I made reservations.The service was good even with a ton of peopleI loved my spaghetti and meatballs.I'm picky about these "anybody can cook it" type dinners, not true of course.More likely anybody can ruin it.Eddie's was really good.Parking was easy ..Thanks allKid-friendliness: We had several young people theyThey were welcomed and catered to”
“Are you looking for a great yummy juicy sea food bowl . This is your spot. My food was so fresh and flavorful . My favorite spot for my craving times !! The service is so sweet and always checking in with you to make sure your needs are met . This restaurant is super clean and well maintained.”
“Love this place! My boyfriend and I first tried Vine on DoorDash and immediately knew it would be added to our regular take out rotation.Then my dad came into town for work, finished his work early so he looked for a place to go eat while I was working, saw a lamb burger on the menu and knew he would he going there! In addition to the great food, the owner and server were both extremely friendly and welcoming.We love Vine Burgers and recommend it to all our friends and visitors in the area!”
“We had a great dinner at the Union Hotel. The food was great and the server was very friendly and accommodating. It was great to see the manager or owner helping out the team. We will be back soon!”
“Best Quesabirria Tacos in Santa Rosa and its not even close. The consume sauce is lit. Cant go wrong with enchiladas michoacan. Washed it down with a Michelada. Dont sleep on this place it ridiculously delicious.”
“Great service! The food was exactly what I expected. The drinks were excellent (at the time), and we will definitely be coming back. It was unfortunate that when we got home the ice had melted because there was no Styrofoam cup and the drinks tasted bad. We learned our lesson only go here if we are going to consume it at that moment instead of bringing it home.”
“The rotating menu keeps things exciting, offering a variety of unique cookie flavors each week alongside their signature classics. Every cookie is baked to perfection, with a perfect balance of chewiness and indulgence that's impossible to resist.”
“I wasn’t sure how the food would be because it’s located in a small hidden grocery store but it was so delicious that I went back to order more. My favorite is the lamb and beef pita/ wrap.Cooked and seasoned amazing. A new ”
“Visited just after opening and had a quick bite and two cocktails. It's one of the pricier places down town, and our total was $40 for the three items. We enjoyed the Queens Apple and the Melon Breeze with a small plate of Papas Bravas.We then came back later for the night club. It is $5 for women, $10 for men as a cover charge and they accept Venmo or Cash. There is a dress code, and I couldn't find on their website what that meant. Security was out and around the floor, and staff was hustling with their drinks. I was expecting some Rap or RnB music but it was a mix of just good songs with latin roots. It wasn't too crowded, just right. I only rate 4 stars because vaping inside was not enforced as much as it should be.”

“I went by here today to get my birthday reward. I just parked and walked up to the little kiosk since the drive through line was long. I got a delicious iced chai with peppermint, vanilla and vanilla soft top. It’s so good! Wanted to mix it up a bit. I love coming here and getting a drink it’s fun and the people are super nice. I had to wait about 12 minutes for my drink which is ok since they were a little bit busy. Plus the music they play is fun and upbeat. Always come back”
“I've enjoyed this place since 2008. Great food and many happy memories gathering here to share it. Attentive service is always much appreciated and their take-out orders are processed relatively quickly. My personal faves in the food department are the pho as well as the yummy spring rolls. All the food I've eaten here has been wonderful.”

“For mall food I liked it. Was feeling like it was pricey for a bowl but cashier gave hints on how to get the most for your money. It's do it yourself on adding the thin slices of meat and veggies to your bowl, and then someone will add sauces/garlic/chili. Once they take it to cook they will add a bowl of noodles. It's a lot of food. My husband and I could of shared if he didn't ask to add a lot of chili sauce.”
“Nice new shiny store !! Great sandwiches !! Tip to staff. Please clean the tables and floor. For a new store, have a little pride. Not sure what it is about Jersey Mike's but everytime I go into one of the Santa Rosa stores, I want to grab a towel and clean the tables and chairs off. There aren't that many to keep up with.”
“Molly was training Christian during our lunch and they were on top of everything, super friendly service. Drinks were flowing, the food is consistently fresh and as usual we left happy and satisfied ?”
