5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“I don't live in Santa Rosa any more, I haven't in ~20 years but I grew up there and EVERYONE knows Sam's! I was in town for the holidays and went there for lunch with a friend. The menu is enormous and while I was tempted by the all day breakfast, I landed on a French Dip sandwich that I had been craving. If you are anywhere in the area, stop by, you'll be glad you did!

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly restaurant - be sure to check out the staff's name tags! Reminded me of my first job working at Camp Wa-Tam. ;-)“

“I rate based on expectations. Classic diner menu, we tried the French burger, cheeseburger, fries and onion rings. French burger and rings were awesome. Portions are large and prices are better than average. The woman who helped us was a total sweetheart and very welcoming. Highly recommended for classic diner experience“

“If you’re looking for a quick and quiet restaurant/ diner to eat at; this is the one. Our waitress Andrea did a fantastic job. I’d love to come back here just for her great service.
My fish filet sandwich was a little dry, but that could be fixed pretty easily.“

“Well it's no longer called Legends!! It is now called " Iron & Vine" and tha place is amazing. I attended a wedding there yesterday and it was outstanding. It was very lovely and the view is amazing from the banquet room. The staff is amazing and the food is so wonderful. And the gentleman bartending was fabulous, poured the most perfect old fashioned for me and my wife wanted something sweet and he suggested a cider from Humboldt County, he said it was sweet, and a 7%, that was a cherry cider she enjoyed very very much " exactly what she wanted". A must place to go and see and definitely enjoy the happy hour, and the food is beyond words. And make sure you go see that bartender, I think his name is Marshall or Michael!“

“The food was delicious! Portions were large. Service delightful and attentive.“

“Great food great atmosphere!“

“Highly recommend making this a must stay place if you’re in the Sonoma area! The resort is so funky, fun and makes you feel special while you visit. The vibe at the Lazeaway Club is awesome. The food is mostly shareable bites, the cocktails were delicious. The DJ on Sunday by the pool left us wanting to stay longer! The best thing about the resort is the staff! Top notch and we can’t wait to visit soon:)“

“Been waiting to go for months. Finally went and the food was absolutely amazing but we never where checked on. I just wanted a water and salsa and was looking the whole meal for an employee. made eye contact with our server and she ignored me 3 times, then brought our check and said you can pay whenever. not even how was the food. my husband had to get me my water as he fully finished his food while I was still trying to stall because I wanted salsa on my 25$ omelet. 😕“

“Cozy space with nicely appointed ambiance. Friendly staff. Excellent food on a varied and adventurous menu. The cheese curds are worth the trek. Great cocktails. Good happy hour menu. Lovey outside patio and well behaved dogs are welcome.“

“The staff is amazing and the food is delicious. Fast service and quick refills on your drinks.“

“Ignore the rotten score on Facebook. This is one of the best breakfast places in Santa Rosa.“

“Stopped in here late afternoon for a quick lunch before driving back up to Eureka. Read some reviews and liked what I read so gave it a try. Service was fantastic, I ordered the turkey sandwich and my friend got the club. Both sandwiches were awesome, and at a great price. Definitely recommend stopping here for a meal.“

“We always love River Vine. Also, I just wanted to note, I LOVED the new style of Huevos Rancheros -- before, you used an almost salsa like sauce, this new sauce is FANTASTIC. Please don't make any further changes, you have improved your Huevos Rancheros to perfection.“

“food was great and service quick ..well worth it“

“This is the best picture I’ve taken of a meal anywhere. The food was sooooo good that I couldn’t take a “before” picture, only an “after”. This was grilled avocado. I didn’t even know one could grill an avocado, nor did I know that an avocado could be improved on. Now I know. 😋“

“Great service and food.
At the fettuccini Alfredo with chicken breast. Kiddo had Mac n cheese.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly! Seats were available, immediately when most other restaurants had an hr wait or longer.“

“Joe...outstanding food... Thanks my friend“

“Good food and very sweet service. If latte’s were on the menu that would be even better!!!“

“Breakfast Sandwich $7.5
Orange Chicken with fried rice $14

Not only was the space cute, but the food was even better than I expected?
There were Peanuts illustrations and lines in various places in the store, and the view of the skating rink from the window was refreshing, making it a special space!

The cafe was crowded with many people using the skating rink, and I felt that it was a cafe that was loved by the local community.

I was happy to be able to see the seat where Mr. Schultz was sitting!“

“great food nice ambiance very friendly service“

“Great food, Nostalgic Shakes & Malts‼️
Plenty of food to fill your belly. Atmosphere is nostalgic & trendy &.... when you see a trash can full at 3-4:00pm....well you know the food just had to be great.
Do try their many, Many, MANY, flavors of Malts & Shakes‼️ I consider myself a, Connoisseur in this Dept & assure you that you'll not be disappointed ‼️?‼️TRUST ON THIS.“

“My family stopped for lunch and we very much appreciated the service provided by Ajay!

Kid-friendliness: This restaurant is very kid friendly with a full kids menu including dessert. Interactive kids menu is always a hit with our daughter. If you are interested I believe there are also games that are available on a tablet at the table, although I have zero experience with using that.“

“Sick place good food good beer. Bartender are cool as f$&k great place to get some food and drank!“

“Had my first meal here today with family. My caesar salad with chicken was really good, and everyone enjoyed their food. Great coffee, and the mimosas looks really tasty. The only downside was that the booths seems way too close together. Felt crowded.“

“The best breakfast and lunch spot! The French toast is great, and the breakfast burritos are my favorite! The lunch menu always has a great selection as well (loved the cubano sandwich) ! Also the service is always so friendly and welcoming, and the prices are very affordable.“

“You can taste and feel the love in the food and drinks. Special attention was given to the presentation of our order and everything was a work of art. This is the opposite experience of in and out Starbucks - it takes time to put the love in the drinks and food but it is so worth it! This place feels like you’re visiting a coffee shop in a small European village. The owner and the barista are so warm and welcoming. I wish I took pics of the drinks and food but we were hitting the road and I totally forgot. Please support this 100% vegan small local business.“

“Absolutely awesome place!!!“

“Shout out to Chris the manager who went out of his way to accommodate us. We are Hyatt members and thought we could use our club access awards. Unfortunately this particular restaurant is its own identity and therefore they don’t allow you to use the awards. Chris however made an exception and allowed us to use them. It was a very busy day with a bit of a wait but we were really taken care of in an amazing way. Thank you!“
