We got to sit at the chef's table which provided the best views of exporting and some cooking too. All the staff here seem to love their job and everyone is smiling! I love that! The food was pretty great too. The miso guacamole was handmade from fresh avocados right in front of us. I really enjoyed the fried salt and pepper octopus too. Great sauce accompaniment. The two sandwiches we ordered were very interestingly on grilled bao buns which actually held together pretty well. I personally didn't love the pickled veggies but my husband enjoyed them. The pastrami sandwich was great and paired so well with kimchi. His duck sandwich was heavily doused in hoisin but still cooked really well.

I sat at the bar where there were only 3 others sitting there. It was a Sunday evening and there were still plenty of available tables around 7pm, I got a non alcoholic drink, Garnot Story. It was refreshing. I wasn't very hungry but there were so many opts that had a unique twist so, after speaking with the bartenders I decided on the Smokey Poke and the Chicken wings. The poke was super fresh, light, and had nuts which gave it another dynamic level of flavor and crunch. The chicken wings are full bone in wings including the drum stick part intact. The crispy skin was cooked to perfection and the flavor was like nothing I have tasted before. The goat cheese ranch took the dish to the next level.

We started off with a traditional espresso martini and a pumpkin espresso martini. These were delish!! The pumpkin martini wasn't overly sweet, it had just the right amount of pumpkin flavor. For happy hour food, we ordered 8 oysters and buffalo chicken wings. The oysters tasted so fresh and crisp. The wings weren't battered and fried so they were relatively light with great flavor. Thomas then made us the best dirty martinis with bleu cheese hand stuffed olives. If you're a bleu cheese person, these will be right up your alley. We finished with calamari off the happy hour menu and a glass of Chianti. We had the best time enjoying fabulous drinks and food, we never wanted to leave. I can't wait to visit again, we will definitely be back!

From the little table we sat at, we turned the chairs so we could face the kitchen area where the chefs were making fresh pizzas instead of staring at the bar tender with her chest hanging out (put them away, you're at work) or stare at the doorway. We weren't overly hungry but wanted to try it. The prices were pretty steep for a beer $12, and the cocktail was VERY expensive $19 after tax. Hubs decided not to order the beer but insisted I try a fancy drink so I decided on the unicorn after recommendation from our waitress. The drink was pleasantly good, not too sour or too sweet, however definitely not worth the price. Then we decided on a small bites, skillet prawns. The wait wasn't too long. We took a bite each and we were so confused at the odd flavor. It tasted like latex gloves and cleaner. Hubs tried a a second small bite of another one and spit it out. We probably shouldn't have stopped. Our waitress was really nice about it and offered to get us a new one or something else or a dessert, but we declined. She ended up taking it off the bill. Maybe skip the drinks and order a pizza.

We had high hopes but the venue failed in every regard…read more The layout and the decorations are just beautiful, but the functional acoustic atmosphere is horrible, it's almost the worst I've ever been in. There's almost zero damping and no acoustic management whatsoever. It has the appearance of an attractive venue without the functional reality. It was incredibly painful with the voices of all the talking along with the music ringing in our ears. The conversations of people were amplified by the design of the facility to the point where they were competing with the fully amplified '90s band that I heard called joose. In addition, they appear to have no comprehension about how to actually create an appropriate acoustic management system. There are no damping systems, no soft surfaces, it's like they didn't even ask anybody who knows anything about anything about how to do acoustic design. It's entirely appearance based. We will never return here again for anything other than a cocktail or maybe a karaoke event. It was a waste of $20. Per person. We effectively paid $40 for a couple to be acoustically tortured for 2 hours. We kept hoping it would get better but it didn't I thought maybe once more people came in they might help but it didn't help they just got louder. I can't believe that nobody else has complained about this before.

However, these performers just lip sang and walked around collecting tips. Hardly any interaction with the crowd. The '3 course meal' was awful.

Definitely felt like a rip off.

Great bar! Great drinks! Awesome staff!! Always looks clean and we love the game room…read more As a regular, the way they handle unruly and out of pocket customers, continues to impress me! I was sitting at the bar on Thursday when a customer, Rainey, called the bartender a b*#ch, cursing her out. The bartender explained nicely the girl's token couldn't be used for a $40 Clase Azul Margarita, giving her several other tequila options I might add, and the young girl flipped out in her & called her names. The bartender definitely kept her cool, never even raising her voice. The way people treat bartenders sometimes is just so terrible! Don't go out if you can't act appropriately. Anyway this place is great and I keep going back. Thanks for the yummy drinks Mockingbird!

The name Mockingbird Bar & Chill immediately caught my attention, so had to check it out…read more I stopped in on a Friday right when they opened, so the place was quiet. I ordered one drink, and it was pretty good. The only downside was the service. The bartender wasn't very personable, and I didn't really feel welcomed. To be fair, it was the start of the shift, so maybe they were just getting settled in or simply having an off day. We all have those days, so I'm trying not to judge the experience too harshly. I usually like to give places a second chance because one visit doesn't always tell the whole story. The drink showed promise, and I'm hopeful my next visit will leave a better overall impression. Looking forward to seeing how the experience compares the second time around.

I added mustard which for me was perfect. My husband had the Chicken Kreplach dumplings. They had a soy, maybe miso, butter sauce with breaded fried onions like the ones I put on my green bean casserole which was a perfect complement. My girlfriend had the Veal & Shiitake Pelmeni sour cream & dill. Delicious and filling. I had a sip of the Orange Dream-sickle cocktail. I would like this for dessert.

We stopped at Grossman's with high hopes, but unfortunately, the service was more of a rumor than…read morean actual experience. It took 30 minutes just to get our drinks. When the food finally arrived, the chicken schnitzel was dry, overcooked, and tasted like it had spent far too long sunbathing under a heat lamp. Once our food was delivered, our waitress performed her most impressive trick of the afternoon: disappearing completely. My water ran out about 10 minutes into battling the Sahara schnitzel and was never refilled--which felt especially cruel considering that entrée required its own hydration plan. To give credit where it's due, the Crimson Revelry cocktail was absolutely delicious, and the fries were very good. Sadly, neither could rescue the rest of the experience. Between the painfully slow service, the vanishing waitress, and the schnitzel that left me both disappointed and dehydrated, I can't see myself ever going back. Grossman's? More like "Gross, man."

The warm baguette dipped in the sauce of the scallop and escargot were beyond words. For entrees, we ordered poulet frites, beef cheek bourguignon, dover sole grenobloise, and prime burger royale. The dark meat of the poulet was delicious, the white meat was dry. Maybe next time we can ask for all dark meat. The beef cheek was very tender. My younger son thought it was the best burger he's ever eaten. It was very good. The only thing is the sole was not what we were expecting, it was very meaty/solid. Normally, sole breaks apart easily and very flaky. We would not order this again. For sides, we had frites, button mushrooms provencal & brussels sprouts gratin. We only liked the frites. If we are in Santa Rosa, we would definitely come back. The reason I didn't give a 5 star review is the handle on the brussels sprouts pan was very hot and the waiter didn't tell me it was hot. I touched the handle and burned my fingers severely to the point it blistered up. When I realized my fingers were burned, I asked the waiter for ice and he looked at me confused of why I was asking for ice.

Sometimes bar food can be pretty basic and cheap, but the peppers were nicely grilled and the chicken was juicy. I had their sweet potato fries which were really good too! They have a condiments bar with different sauces. I got the DTF sauce for my fries which was fire and some green salsa to put on my sandwich which gave it an extra kick.
