I had the Colibri Benedict. It has Canadian Bacon, sliced avocado, poached egg, BBQ sauce and hollandaise sauce on an English muffin. Their hollandaise sauce is the best I've ever had at a restaurant. I'm not even joking. My Mom had a blueberry pancake. 20/10 on my breakfast! I highly recommend this restaurant !! Two thumbs up Thank you to Brenda! read more

I can't believe how many times I've driven past Colibri Grill Café before finally stopping in -- but I'm so glad I did. I went in craving a Benedict and ordered the bacon, tomato, avocado Benedict (no tomato), and it was absolutely amazing. The chipotle hollandaise has the perfect little kick -- flavorful and slightly smoky without overpowering the dish. The bacon was perfectly crisp, and the hash browns were golden and crunchy just the way they should be. Every bite felt thoughtful and well executed. This is officially my new favorite breakfast spot, and the fact that it's only a few minutes from home makes it even better. On top of the great food, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to go back and work my way through more of the menu. read more

Never been here before. BBQ Back ribs and chicken were done perfectly. Fair price, service was very good too. Really worth a visit!

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I finally stopped by on a Tuesday. Upon arrival we were greeted by one of the servers. We were quickly sat, given menus and greeted by the server. When we first walked in it seemed very quiet but when we were sat there was a couple tables dining in. I got a coffee and my boyfriend went with a soda. The coffee was good. I went with the 2 egg breakfast with apple sausage and a biscuit as my bread option, I am so glad I did. The eggs were cooked perfectly (soft), the chicken apple sausage was tasty, the biscuit was soft and the hashbrowns were crispy. My boyfriend ordered the French toast, which came with berries and some type of berry sauce. That was also good. The server checked in with us often, which I appreciate. Overall, the food was good , the service was good and I would definetly come back. read more

Stopped by this unassuming cafe while waiting for my car to be serviced. Based on reviews, had to try the pear and coffee pancake which was amazing and huge. We enjoyed it for desert later in the day. Chilequilles were pleasantly different from what I have experienced at other restaurants which I love. Staff was very kind and attentive. I will definitely will return. read more

Today's my birthday and I wanted to try something new. I had a particular craving for steak and eggs. We've had Colibrí on our radar for a while but have never been. When I saw they offered a steak and egg breakfast, we decided to give it a shot. The interior of the restaurant is very odd. Dark, depressing vibe with painted red walls and outdated decor. Today is 86° but it felt like they had the heater running. No way we could stay seated inside so we asked to switch to their outdoor seating in the front of the restaurant. Honestly wasn't much better but at least we had a bit of a breeze. Service was a little slow but they were very nice. My husband ordered their country plate which came with biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns (home fries was an option as well). We were surprised when the plate arrived and only had one slice of bacon and one egg (there were two sausages). My husband said his biscuit tasted off- like old oil or something. He enjoyed the other parts of his meal. I ordered the New York steak (specifically requested medium rare) and over-easy eggs. My meal also included home fries, fruit, and toast. My steak was the most pitiful excuse for a piece of meat. It was very thin, cooked way past well done, and was 60% fat. The potatoes were good and my eggs were cooked as requested. This place is kind of out of our way so we probably won't be back given the meal we experienced today. Service was nice so I don't mean to dock any points for that- they deserve 5 stars. Colibri's menu is quite extensive; I think they would do well to pare that down and focus on excelling at fewer dishes rather than trying to offer so many options. read more

Perfectly cooked Rib Eye Steak with a delicious chipotle compound butter that I asked for on the side, so I could put some on each bite. The veggies were so fresh and tasty! The potatoes has been roasted on all sides of each piece. I used the butter on the potatoes, too. The salad that came first was very nice and I ate all of it! I wish they would serve those wonderful potatoes for breakfast, too, because I really loved them. My steak was a perfect medium rare AND hot. What more can you ask for? Love having a local spot for dinner that is so good. read more

Always a great meal, Chef, owner creates great brunches, Eggs Benedict were perfect, as are whole-wheat waffles, French toast, and eggs and bacon. Also fresh squeezed orange juice. Will prepare gluten free meals, dinner on Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Try the salmon dinner. I brought home crab cakes and baked potatoes for 2. Nice ambiance too. Can handle groups. Most underrated local restaurant. , read more

A quiet breakfast experience with a delicious chicken cutlet and soft waffles with a little less sweetness which I like as it makes the syrup stand out. They had super thick syrup which I liked a lot. The chicken cutlet was not dry at all which I was so happy about because white meat can dry out if you look at it wrong. Such a good meal. My husband had the pancakes and I actually got a bite even though he had to finish my plate but the pancakes were spongy and delicious and held the syrup well. I enjoyed how secluded our seat was from others, low lit inside with pretty wooded accents and low volume. The staff was attentive and even offered us more syrup. I was pleasantly surprised. read more

Stopped here last week with the kids. We had bbq sandwiches. Potato salad was good but the bbq was not. Hardly any meat.mostly cheese, sauces, and condiments. The presentation was pretty nice but bbq it is NOT. I can't speak to the rest of their dishes. Only BBQ. Nice staff, nice atmosphere. read more

Went here for breakfast with my wife. It was disappointing. She had the NY steak and eggs. She ordered the steak med-rare and it was more than well done. This is probably because the cut was very thin. Literally about 1/3 or more of the steak was fat. I had the Country Plate which was okay. The biscuits had a really strange flavor that almost tased like old oil or wax. I was surprised there was only one piece of bacon and one egg. It was so hot inside we opened yes to air outside where it was cooler (83 deg). The service was friendly though. I'd give this place another chance. read more

I really love this place. The food is delicious, the service is great, and it's close to home.

I went to Colibri Grill to have lunch with a group of 4. We had soup and salad, eggs Benedict, and a hamburger. Everything was served hot, freshly made and tasted delicious. I recommend this restaurant. read more

Such a hidden gem for delicious food! The Alberto's Fire Burger was probably one of the best burgers we have tried. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, nice spice level. The roll on the Texas Cheese Steak was great. I tried the monte cristo on a prior visit and ate it all before a picture. Our server was very polite and did a great job. read more

Colibri has been serving great food for over 20 years and it's about time for me to share my appreciation after years of dining here. In addition to great BBQ, they do have an exceptional breakfast menu. However, I am partial to the BBQ beef sandwich or the baby back pork sandwich. Whatever is your preference, you won't be disappointed. read more

5 star service with 5 star food. This place has the best burger I have ever tasted, Albertos Fire Burger. My husband couldnt make up his mind so he ordered 2 sandwiches, the Pastrami sandwich AND hot link sandwich. He enjoyed both. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. We will definately be going back to this place. read more

Will always come back here for the best breakfasts. The chicken fried steak sandwich was a special and definitely required a few napkins but was so yummy and didn't fall apart like most texas toast sandwiches. I will forever and always get the hot link Benedict, the chipotle hollandaise is by far the best hollandaise in SoCo. The booth we sat at was super comfy, service was great as always, and really enjoyed the chai tea latte that I got which came dairy free. read more

Tucked into an unassuming strip mall, this is a terrific breakfast spot. We go regularly for the Benedict varieties and the coffee pear pancakes. I know, love coffee, love pears, love pancakes, but all together?! It works! Small area outdoors for pets, friendly staff, fresh ingredients, large portions. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a bountiful breakfast or brunch. read more

I've been here twice now and the service is consistently friendly and accommodating. Staff are knowledgeable and the chef preps almost everything himself which equals to the food being amazing. I don't feel heavy and sleepy when I leave so that is my indication that I will be back!!! Don't sleep on this little hidden gem!! read more

After driving by this location too many time to calculate, while at the hardware store a couple of doors down I noticed a smoker on the sidewalk. What? There's a restaurant there? Yep! Its actually been their over 20 years, nondescript is a good way to describe Colibri. The ambiance is aged from time and lack of reinvestment in the decor. The service was okay. I had the French Dip, after getting through sticker-shock which is not uncommon after bidennomics, the sandwich itself was what I would describe as meat that had been cook some time ago. The bun dry. The Au Juice was more of a gravy, strange taste. The saving grace was the side of Gazpacho, which was very good. In looking back I should have had just a bowl of Gazpacho. It was fresh, tasty and worth exploring in the future. Subsequently my friends have told me their breakfast is pretty good. Based on the Gazpacho and recommendation of friends I'll go back for breakfast to see what's up with that... Lunch with tax, tip no beverage other than water $22 and change read more

Colibri has been recommended to us several times now. Even from friends who say they drive up from Rohnert Park just to eat here and go back home. We stopped by for my birthday breakfast since it was on a Tuesday and would most likely be slow. As we predicted, it was! It was nice not to have to deal with a weekend rush while experiencing Colibri for the first time. The first thing I noticed was their prices. They seem a lot higher than some of our other favorite breakfast spots. Due to that, we only ordered one plate each instead of ordering a few things to share. I ordered the eggs benedict and Dan ordered the hot link benedict. Dan said it was the best benedict he's ever had (and we LOVE benedicts). I thought mine was just okay. I would like to come back and try more of the dishes. The cheese thing sounded amazing but sweet. The pancake options also had my mouth watering. As for the spot itself, it seems to have a little bit of an identity crisis. I'm not sure what vibe it's trying for cause there are so many things going on. The menu is all over the place, not really a specialized menu. The decor is interesting and some of the decorations looks like things purchased after a lodge style place closed. Luckily the food is good and the service is quick! Our waiter was super nice and answered all of our questions. We will be back read more

This place feels like the kind of place one would post a bad Yelp review to keep the place a secret and prevent it from getting too busy. The food is excellent and the prices are good value, which is not the usual experience now days. We ate at the bar and had the pleasure of speaking to one of the family members who works here, and really enjoyed the friendly ambiance and easy conversations. Highly recommend this place for a great meal and hope it doesn't get so busy that I have to wait for an hour for a table! read more

I advocated for this place with everyone I knew. I tipped well, and went out of my way to support by putting it out there to everyone in Sonoma County. I've given the owner chef a few bottles of wine. Then I ordered a couple steaks, a Ribeye and Filet. They were worse than Sizzler chewy steaks on a bad day! I did what I tell everyone to do before writing a bad review!! Call them and give them a chance to make it better. We all make mistakes. So I called and left several messages, contacted them through Facebook and their email countless times- he was trying very hard to avoid me. I finally tracked him down and he offered 50% off my next meal. Ahhhh ok - when I called in to order at the end of call I would mention the discount and THEN he was out or they decided to close early- 2 years ago!!! He could've gave it and I would have spent another few grand there?!? read more

The ambiance in this restaurant is very odd decor is a little all over the place and just kinda bizarre looking with red walls, Indiana Jones style signs and low hanging lamps almost touching the table. Service was okay and waiter was quick with refills and all that jazz. Food was okay but for fifty dollars I would rather go else where for breakfast. Not at all terrible but nothing special. read more

Our first visit! Don't know how we have missed this place as they have been in business for over 20 years. It is in a small strip mall in Santa Rosa and we were very impressed with our meal. Everyone loved what they got and a lot of homemade items including the jam, biscuits, and the ciabatta roll for the cheesesteak. There are daily specials to choose from and a very extensive breakfast menu on one side of the menu and very extensive lunch menu. The service was great and super friendly. We will be back! Thank you for a great meal. A new favorite! read more

I was in the mood for BBQ but ending up getting one of their daily specials ( Steak & Lobster). Steak was cooked as ordered & the lobster was perfect served with a very tasty cream sauce. Our server Octavio was efficient, friendly & attentive. The strip mall could use some outside lighting, with a cloudy winter night the whole mall looked like it was closed but that is a landlord issue. I definitely will return for dinner again and see if I get the BBQ and not be swayed by another daily special. read more

First time ordering food from Colibri this morning, what fantastic service! Super friendly and very easy to place the order. I ordered the Colibri Eggs Benedict, the most delicious and unique tasting I have had so far. I can't wait to go back :) We were very happy with our food and ordering! Highly recommend read more

Location: Good east side location. Parking can be rough so be patient. Nice decor and vibe for a small diner. Menu: Lots of options! Though disappointed there weren't solid Vegan ones, and very limited vegetarian, so one of our dietary restricted friends couldn't enjoy a full meal (upon request staff wasn't aware if their tofu scramble was vegan, but have no fear- they survived on french fries and fruit side dishes) ... Main plates were classic diner food that filled everyone up! Service: Unfortunately service with a smile wasn't on the menu. Our server gave off some serious "I don't want to be here and I don't want you to be here either" vibes and our water glasses went dry in the first 10 minutes and stayed that way for the remainder of our stay. With so many brunch options in Santa Rosa, this first impression was unfortunately lacking too much for a repeat visit any time soon, but would give it another shot on a weekday when it's not as busy. read more

Deeply upset with the overall experience. Very average (waffle was dry and awful, burnt bacon) food, at an extremely high price. The service was subpar, and they upcharge on everything. Very difficult to understand the server. A single egg provided with a combo meal, then they charge 1.50 extra because you get an egg. What a scam. The combo meal was already excessively expensive for a basic meal. I very rarely rate negatively, but for this price tag I expected something somewhat decent. Was very disappointed and would never go back. En Eggo in a toaster would have been an improvement. read more

Cockroach right outside the front door and over priced undercooked food. Sad to see when an owner forgets why they started a restaurant to begin with. read more

One of the signs that you are in a bad restaurant, too many food options on the menu. Meaning the kitchen/chef is better of focusing on a few things done right rather than a lot done poorly. Well, Colibri didn't get the memo. To say that Colibi offers a lot of different options would be a big understatement. Here you can find everything from your traditional American breakfast, bbq, Southern inspirations, burgers, Mexican and even Greek! And they nail wash and every dish to perfection! Colibi is the perfect spot for a group with varied tastes or if you're just wanting to explore something new. I'm not a huge fan of the ambiance, but the warm and friendly service more than makes up for this one small detail. read more

On our road trip to the Charles Schultz Museum we drove the furthest north I've ever gone. I wanted to find a local place and try the bbq. Yelp led me to Colibri Grill Cafe. Baby back ribs were tender and had a nice smoky aroma and flavor. I found out they were smoked with walnut wood. Nice chef let me take a look at his smoker. Ribs were coated in a homemade sauce with sweet and tangy flavors. Reminds me of the ribs at Izzy's Cafe. I had a full rack which is enough for 2 people and I gave half to my kid. She loved the ribs too. I didn't try any sides but Maggie and my kid loved the garlic mashed potatoes. Waitress was nice answering all my questions and providing speedy service. We enjoyed our lunch here as well as the 15 minute drive from the Charles Schultz Museum. It's autumn and the leaves are turning brown and covering the lawns. I don't experience the seasons much as it seems like summer most of the year in San Diego. Also I'm by luxury apartment towers and office buildings. Would have been nice growing up here enjoying the seasons and the good bbq. read more

This was a great brunch experience. See the specials menu. So many unique options here and also on the regular menu. They serve both breakfast and lunch and there's a rumor they will be opening for dinner as well. The location isn't great and may be overlooked but don't let that stop you from enjoying great food at this local joint. The service was fast and staff were extremely attentive. We had special requests that were happily accommodated. Like bacon that was cooked crispy to perfection. Prices were comparable to any other restaurant, but quality was above par.
