Service was generally great. There was a mix up with our drinks and some items took longer than others to come out but we didn't mind. There were several birthdays celebrating that night and every one of them were celebrated by every staff with music, singing and clapping. (It was the longest birthday song I've ever had lol). Even though it was the end of the night each staff made an effort to come out for mine which we all really appreciated. We can't wait to return! We had so much fun and enjoyed everything!

The oysters were absolutely delicious, especially at 50% off. There was one person working the bar and she managed to be attentive to all guests while also serving food, clearing tables, and making drink.

I look forward to another visit and to trying more menu items.

Somewhere along the line yelp reviews for Rocker Oysterfeller in Valley Ford became yelp reviews for Rocker's Roadhouse prompting this update. Ages ago I happily awarded 5-stars to Rocker Oysterfeller but when I came to Rocker's Roadhouse for lunch on a recent Monday afternoon things were decidedly not 5-star. The bar area that one enters first had no patrons despite a table of dirty dishes remaining. When we announced we'd like to stay for lunch we were asked to wait while a table in the dining room was cleared. That's exactly what was cleared: one table in the dining room. There were two other tables of customers in the dining room and now a single clean table. Every other customer-free table in that room was stacked with dirty dishes left by previous customers. This wasn't just unappetizing. It was disgusting and we opted not to stay for lunch. I'm hoping this was some sort of aberrant situation as opposed to standard operating procedure. C'mon Rocker's Roadhouse, get your act together.

Jilly is a fantastic woman who gives to everyone around her, and we are lucky that she chose a restaurant to run so she can share her love with even more people!! The location is a beautiful picturesque place on the edge of the Russian River, and there is a great patio that you can bring your pup to while you're dining! Now let's get to the best part: the FOOD!! The fries are so crispy and delicious because they are fried in tallow instead of toxic soybean oil! We both got the Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, and everything about them was delicious. The meat was tender and not fatty, the cheese was melty and generous, and the produce was fresh! We can't wait to comeback again when we are in the area. Thank you for a wonderful visit, my Mom and I had a fabulous time!

We were there both times at lunch, so didn't go heavy BBQ (then again, we were in CA, so it's tough to find anything HEAVY! It was fresh and delicious, though -- no complaints!). I had two different salads when I was there -- the rib salad (HOLY RIBS BATMAN) and the Cobb salad (I dare you to find a bad avocado in the state of California). They were both fresh and delicious -- and even though the ribs were amazing, I think I liked the Cobb salad better of the two. My friend got the burger one day and the BLTA the other (see above re: excellent avocados state-wide, and Sweet T's was no exception). One of the two days, we were hankering for dessert as well -- and we hankered ourselves a slice of Key Lime Pie, which was a super smart choice, especially after eating such savory dishes both days. Cannot wait to return to Windsor to see my friend -- and when I do, we will definitely be back to Sweet T's!

Getting the check took a bit at the end of service tho. They were helpful with the cake though and helped to provide a knife for us which was nice. We had an order of the hush puppies to share. Those things are always crispy and delish. I was able to try something different this time getting the PB n J wings with sauce on the side and an order of veggies on the side. The chicken was nice and crispy. The PB n J sauces actually worked well together though it was a bit sweet for me, and sticky after the fact. Easy to work with us for events since it is nearby for our work place so usually a go to at least once during the year.

We decided to try a few different things since before. I went with the houma hash, my partner ruffino's special, and of course some beignets on the side. The food was good. The houma hash was a good mix between the sausage, bell peppers and carbs making for interesting bites throughout. A spoon for scooping things would've done wonders considering how things were cut though. My partner really liked the special. Potatoes were nice and crunchy, everything cooked well for the sandwich. I really liked the dressing for the sandwich that they added really brought things together for it. And of course, the beignets were warm and delish when they hit the table. They disappeared nice and quick. We'll be back through sometime to try more things for sure.

Wish I had known a couple of details before planning my anniversary dinner here…read more This place is known for epic views, naturally we wanted a table with a view so I called a week in advance to request just that. The woman I spoke to said she would put it in her notes and that specific tables are not able to be held. She assured me we would have a good spot so I took her word for it. This was our first time coming here and its an hour drive. There is very minimal parking. We were lucky to get a spot as someone was leaving. We were seated at the worst table this place has to offer, right at the entrance to the bar and kitchen, in a narrow walkway, there is a window for one person to look out of and the other seat is looking into the kitchen as the table is positioned halfway in the middle of a window, so one side is against a wall and a view of the kitchen. The busy waitstaff was coming in and out quickly from both areas and walking past us with plates and such, it was chaotic at best. It felt almost insulting to be seated here as we had made a request well in advance to celebrate our anniversary which was also not acknowledged. Another party was just leaving so I was able to request to move. We were then seated at a 2 top table just outside of the atrium with a direct view thru a window of another 2 top table on the other side of the glass so when you go to look out the window its like you are staring at the people at the table thru the glass partition. We were so deflated by this whole seating situation. I say all of this to point out that if you are a party of 2 there is barely any tables with a clear view for both people so keep that in mind! If you have a party of 4-6 you have a much better chance of a better table. Really wish I had known that!!! The interior was nice enough but lacking the romance and ambiance I had hoped for, can we get some candles or flowers on the tables? Seems like an obvious detail overlooked. As far as the menu we were a bit underwhelmed by the offerings, there is a prefix menu and a small menu adjacent with minimal options like lamb and elk or vegetarian.... Probly should have looked at that before making this reservation but I had heard how amazing it was so I just took a chance. Although the choices were limited we enjoyed everything we ordered, food and drinks. Our waitress was nice and did a good job for us overall but definitely was more attentive and informative to the group adjacent to us which was a bit disappointing. Again this was a celebratory dinner and it just fell short for us in that way as it was not acknowledged Our tab was a little over 300$ portions were modest although tasty. I enjoyed the drinks and desert the most. To sum it up, I wont be going out of my way again to come back here. If I found myself in the area I might enjoy stopping in for a drink and dessert. Id say a solid 2.5 stars

Pork shoulder pulled pork: 3/5 very fatty and not as much flavor as the brisket. Chicken: 3/5 a bit too dry for me but others in my party enjoyed it.

We had a tasty lunch with raw oysters and a jalapeño mignonette sauce, smoked trout dip, and a bowl of the chowder. The smoked trout dip was pretty good with the chip and pickled onion (my least favorite dish). The raw oysters with the mignonette sauce were fantastic...we went for two rounds! My favorite chowder in Bodega Bay was Spud's, but I think this one knocked it out. I enjoyed the smoky flavor to it! Our kids aren't seafood fans so I really appreciated their kids menu that had butter & cheese pasta. Their Bloody Mary was solid as well! The following day, we had the Wedge Salad and calamari along with a bowl of chowder. The salad was crisp and the combination of ingredients was perfect with all the textures and flavors of the bacon, cherry tomatoes, shoe string onion rings, and blue cheese dressing...the best wedge salad I've ever had! I loved the lightness of the calamari batter as well! This is a nicely decorated and clean restaurant. It was romantic with the view of the bay. I felt the customer service was a little off, but eventually our servers were nicer as both lunches went on. There was a Hispanic man that was very friendly and kept our water filled. We enjoyed talking to him. The customers sure were friendly with lots of smiles towards our kids. This is my favorite Bodega Bay restaurant. I look forward to bringing family and friends.

My MIL, who's from Maine and knows a thing or two about great seafood, said it was the best tuna sandwich she's ever had! My daughter's side of fries with truffle and Parmesan?! Perfection.

The horseradish sauce is perfect complement to the meat. Although I was super full, I had to try dessert. Both Sundae and Tiramisu are beyond expectations. The best thing is reservation is accepted. Definitely make one before you come. I can't wait to come back to try other main course!

The meal came in stages, including minestrone, antipasta, three-bean salad, fresh bread, green salad, ravioli, Cannelloni Crepes, Gorgonzola gnocchi and meatballs. The crepes were a standout. Never had cannelloni prepared this way, and they were absolutely delicious. The gnocchi and meatballs were also excellent. Our waiter, Michael, was fantastic -- friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely attentive. We were there for about two hours, but honestly, that was part of the experience. Dinner here isn't meant to be rushed. While we overheard a few diners getting frustrated with the pace or certain aspects of their meal, I think DiNucci's is best appreciated for what it is: a longtime, family-style restaurant with rustic food, generous portions, warm service and plenty of old-school charm. If you're looking for quick, modern fine dining, this may not be your place. If you want to slow down, enjoy good Italian food and experience a little piece of Sonoma County history, DiNucci's is absolutely worth a visit.
