    Cool spot for a cold one.

    Cool little neighborhood bar. I didn't spend a lot of time here but, the place seems friendly and fun. Hot bartendress helps too.

    If you want a chill bar with stiff drinks where no one bothers you this is the spot. Good jukebox and a couple pool tables

    Great for live music and some fun! Historical building in the cute little otherwise sleepy town of El Verano in Sonoma Valley.

The place has a beautiful country farmhouse vibe, bright, open dining room, and a separate bar tucked away in the back(right where we walked in), that makes it feel cozy without being noisy. They also have a really nice Happy Hour menu, even on weekends until 5 PM, which was a pleasant surprize. The only downside was the service. The restaurant was almost empty, but our party of three ordered a salad, two appetizers, and a mushroom pizza, then ended up waiting until about 5:30 PM. After reminding our server about the order, everything suddenly started coming out. Food was mostly very good. The beet salad was spot on, and the burrata was fresh and exactly what we were hoping for. The calamari was a little over-fried, though I really liked the seasoning. The mushroom pizza had good flavor, but it was a bit too heavy on the spices, so my four-year-old wouldn't eat it. Overall, it's still a solid 4-star place. Great atmosphere, good Happy Hour, and quality food with just a few things that could be improved. We'll definetly be back next time we're in the area.

The crust has a nice flavor and usually a crunch and a bit chewy. All the ingredients are quality and their sauce is delicious, best I've had here in Cali. They have a happy friendly staff. It's a nice family atmosphere, with a nice patio area. Also a separate Bar for the older crowd, always a fun group and cozy space. Definitely, will recommend to all friends and family.

    Came here for dinner with a group of friends so I had the chance to try a few menu items…read more We started with drinks and a friend recommended the pina colada. It was very refreshing and well balanced. We got the mozzarella sticks and the bread with ricotta whip. Unfortunately they ran out of their focaccia bread, so they gave us a sesame bread, which was alright. The mozzarella sticks were very good with a great crisp, and I liked the cheese they used. We got 3 pizzas to share, a pepperoni, arrabiatta, and the potato pie. The potato pie was my favorite. It had blue and golden potatoes and the onion and bacon rounded out the flavor well. The pepperoni was solid and the arrabiatta was the groups overall favorite. We asked for a ranch for each person, not realizing they came in larger portions in bowls, so we were very happy as a ranch loving table, but something to keep in mind. One ranch portion can definitely be shared between two people. An overall nice spot to come for a casual dinner with friends and/or family.

First and foremost the best tasting thing we had was the cauliflower spinach egg and cheese empanada. Oh my word!! The flavors of this little gem was perfect. Next was the chorizo and egg empanada - tasty, then the ham, cheese and jalapeño turnover- tasty. We also ordered the El Senor Crispy which is Fried chicken breast, cole slaw, sweet chili bacon aioli, pickles, served on a bun with fries - delicious! We did get 3 pastries to go and our favorite was the apple cinnamon one. I ordered a unicorn mimosa for funsies. It is blue with edible glitter. Pretty good and not overly sweet. We really enjoyed this place! Highly recommend!!

    Small spot with a kindhearted and friendly staff!…read more I had the chilaquiles (mixed sauce; red & green) , over medium egg, with Chorizo and it was amazing! The chips stayed crunchy longer than other places. The flavors were incredible and the egg was cooked perfectly. It is a small place with limited indoor seating but more seating outside in the patio area (which is quite nice).. The staff were all very friendly and helpful in assisting me on which dishes are most popular - that helped me deicide on my selection. Overall - great place, yummy food, and super nice staff!! Would I go back? Yes!!!

It had delicately…read moresliced cucumbers and onions on it, my personal fav veggies to pair with my occasional tuna sandwich. Delicious! My partner got the patatas bravas with his salmon. So crispy and garlicky! And, the kitchen (plus our amazing server Gustavo!!) was kind enough to make a custom pesto cavatelli for me because I didn't want the cavatelli with morel mushrooms! I will be thinking about the texture of this pasta + the pistachio pesto for a long time. They kept the corn pudding of the original dish at the bottom and it was such a good combination of flavors. I got chicken added on top. I got an espresso martini with gin; pretty good, just wished there was a bit more espresso flavor. Probably would order one of their house cocktails instead next time. Lastly we had the stone fruit cobbler with ice cream and a pine nut/pistachio brittle. Unlike any other cobbler I've ever had. Perfection of different textures. Also, we had the duck fat fries on another day; they were delightfully crispy and lightly seasoned with garlic. The ranch it came with was so yummy and definitely dill-forward. I'd definitely come back! Thank you for your hospitality.

    Just finished a 4 course dinner. It was mostly delicious successes and just one failure…read more The burrata salad was fresh, flavorful. The cheese portion was kind'a skimpy. The Parker house rolls looked a lot more impressive than they tasted. Over salted on top. Airy texture inside but weirdly chewy in a Wonder bread goopy way. Not a pleasing mouth feel. After just 15 minutes on our table they were stale. Bambie ordered salmon. Nice hunk, probably 7 ounces. Pink and fleshy. Moist. Gently cooked. Sides were garden fresh vegetables. I ate the 1/2 chicken. Airline cut. It was a little pullet, maybe 6 ounces. Cooked well. The spicy red sauce that was under the bird was outstanding. I'd be perfectly happy to have a plate of spaghetti with this sauce. The crunchy fingerling potatoes were fun at first, but as the meal went on I couldn't finish them. They were too oily and too salty. Dessert was the recommended cheesecake. Righteous. The exterior of the big slice had a mild Crème brûlée texture and the cake itself was a heavenly cloud. The poached strawberries were the perfect accompaniment. So, is this a 5 star meal & experience? No. i put it in the casual sort'a fine dining box. Last night I ate at The Girl and the Fig on the Sonoma town square. That meal was much more delicious for significantly less money. Tourists who are overly impressed with Michael Mina will be happy here. Locals like me who grew up eating at Sondra Bernstein's several restaurants over the years will be even happier.

The service was pretty good, seated fast, pretty attentive with all the tables they had to serve. We ordered a traditional caramel macchiato (it is nothing like a Carmel macchiato that you are thinking of) and a matcha latte. They were pretty but lacking flavor. The Mach was very bitter, but I am sure that's the traditional version in a little bitty shot like glass -not my fave but I was trying to order stuff i wouldn't normally get. ‍ the matcha came in a giant mug, and it wasn't sweet at all and just kinda of plain. For food, we ordered the wagyu steak and eggs. It came with some interesting garlic herby potatoes, a piece of sourdough cut in half, scrambled eggs, 6 slim slices of beef and a little jam of some sort. We also asked for a side of their house made chili crunch. The steak was mediocre, the potatoes tasted a little weird. We enjoyed the bread and eggs the most. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things. I'd come back and try other items. It is a very cute location.
