This place is the perfect date night. The majority of the seating is for 2, with thr exception of a large table in the back. They have music playing but alot large tvs for those that want to watch a game. The day we went we had a beer and an app and were in and out within the hour without any delay in service. The girl behind the bar was nice & attentive and besides a kitchen staff appeared to be the only one running the place. They have a fully stocked bar and plenty of beers to pick from, a great place to try if you havent aready.

Had a girls lunch out. This place is soooo cute and full of fun drinks and food! I had the ceviche and the truffle fries and they were both delicious. The waitress was nice and checked on us frequently. The drinks were also very good. I want to go back and try the breakfast. I was here for 2 hours and it went by so fast!

Festive drinks

As someone who's very familiar with the social dining scene in and around Sonoma County, I can confidently say this new spot in downtown Santa Rosa is a great addition. I've had the chance to stop in a few times now for a quick drink and each visit has been consistently enjoyable. The atmosphere is welcoming, cozy and exactly what you want from a lounge. It's comfortable, stylish, and easy to settle into. I've visited a few times now (primarily for drinks) and each experience has been memorable. I haven't tried the food yet because I've clearly been very committed to making my way through the drink menu first, but the food is next on my list. I'm looking forward to returning soon to experience it and update my review. Most of the time's I've stopped in it's been kind of quiet; my assumption is word hasn't quite gotten about this place. So far, this lounge is off to a strong start and I'm excited to see it continue to grow. 10/10.

Cocoa w marshmallows (and some coffee)
Carolyn S.

Joined a friend and her granddaughter here for a midday snack after I left the gym and was starving. Ordered a cocoa/coffee (yea a mocha but that's how I ordered it because the cocoa comes with fire toasted marshmallows) and even though it was a couple hours before dinner service (4pm) I asked for the braised short ribs over mashed potatoes. Being that it wasn't 4 yet some of the items were not fully prepared so I opted to have the beef short ribs over fries (same veg ) and do you know what they did? The owner went ahead and had the dish prepared as described with the mashed potatoes. I found this level of customer service to be amazing and unexpected as it clearly states on the menu I'd have to wait til 4. For desert I chose the caramel brûlée cheesecake which came out in the cutest display and was decadent. In addition to the way these guys go out if their way to accommodate you, the food was superb. I'm talking gives you the happy-wiggles-cause-it's-so-good superb. Ambiance is nice, tables and deep booths for privacy. 10/10 I'll be back

Came here for the first time for our anniversary and we loved it! I asked for a recommendation for a strong sweet drink and they nailed it, exactly what I wanted. My fiancé ordered a beer and I ended up trying a couple drinks that were seriously fire. We also ordered the wings and fries and both were really good. The vibes were amazing, great music, low/smooth lighting, and true bar vibes without being overwhelming. Super chill and a great spot for a night out. Definitely coming back!

Wedge salad with chicken.

Love this place! Food is always delicious. Friendly service, which keeps me coming back. Love their selection of drinks and options.

Wedge Salad with Roasted Chicken

One of my favorite places downtown, they opened in September & I have now been over 20 times - I have tried almost everything on the menu and can tell you that everything is so fresh & delicious & really consistent. Highlights are all the salads & the braised short rib with mashed potatoes. Salmon is amazing... short rib grilled cheese is fire. Drinks are amazing with fresh made juices & an ever changing cocktail menu. cannot recommend this place enough for either lunch or a date night! it's fun on the weekends, fun at night, fun at lunch.. what more can you ask for.

bacon mac & cheese
Mariana R.

I finally came in for the first time with my friend. We each ordered a drink, they were sooo cute & delicious. The steak plate was very flavorful as well. It did not disappoint. The place had a classy ambiance. I'll definitely be back.

Pesto pasta

J&A Lounge is a gem. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is elevated but still welcoming--perfect for date night, girls' night, or even a casual dinner that turns into drinks. The drink menu is outstanding. There's truly something for everyone--from beautifully crafted cocktails to wine and beer options that feel intentional, not generic. Every drink is balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell the bar program was thoughtfully curated. Now let's talk about the food--because it does not play second to the drinks. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and well-executed, but the pesto pasta is an absolute must-have. Creamy, rich, and perfectly seasoned--it's one of those dishes you think about long after you leave. Great food, amazing drinks, and a vibe that makes you want to stay longer than planned. J&A Lounge has officially become a go-to spot. Highly recommend.

Delicious spicy margarita!
Diana C.

They are also had a dinner menu that looked enticing will definitely be returning for dinner soon! This place has great ambiance very elegant , family friendly! the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Great place for birthday dinners, work gatherings or a date night .

J&A Lounge Christmas Tree !!
Gordon N.

Food is good and I love the atmosphere it's the kind of atmosphere that you would want to stay around a long time. Fries are Hella good if you never had them there worth it . And the cocktails and beer are Hella if you are a beer drinker this is for you. Thalia is a sweet person fun to talk too. And Jackie too !!

Braised Short Rib

Stopped by this new location downtown to try it out. First impression small dinning are with full bar semi casual atmosphere and decor. Sat at the bar but they have some tables for two and a few tables for more. Service was great very attentive and helpful. Have Happy hour during the week. Full bar with many top shelf brands, wine and champagne with plenty of beer options with about 10 on tap. Wife got a beer and I got a Long Island quickly. Tried the Calamari which was amazing with a great flavor dipping sauce. For dinner wife went with fish tacos was just average flavor but good portion. I went with braised beef short rib over mash. Sauce was phenomenal flavor mashed potatoes, very creamy and cooked. Perfect braised beef short rib very good flavor, but could've probably been braised a little longer as you got to the middle and not as tender. Overall, four out of five stars will give it another go. Maybe they are still working through some grand opening learning curves.

We stopped at Crush Lounge for a late lunch, and it was totally perfect for our needs…read more The service was prompt and friendly. I ordered a BLT sandwich with French fries. And it was so good- lots of crispy bacon and fresh tomato and lettuce. The bun was fresh and soft but held up well (read not soggy) against the tomato and mayo. My husband opted for the soft pretzel, was was piping hot upon arrival and came with two sauces- a mustard sauce and a cheese sauce. We finished it all. The sandwich was so large, I took half back to our room to eat for later. Crush Lounge also has a small bowling alley with several lanes. We didn't get to try it as it was reserved for an event, but this is such a cool feature of the property. This is a solid spot for a quick bite to eat or for drinks when staying at the Meritage.

Crush has a lively, welcoming vibe with a full bar, plenty of table seating, and comfortable lounge…read morechairs gathered around an indoor gas fireplace that adds a nice touch of ambiance. There's music playing, but it's at a perfect level where you can still easily hold a conversation. The bar area also has multiple TVs if you're looking to catch a game. The space offers more than just drinks, with a small bowling alley (six lanes) and a pool table, making it a great spot to hang out. Bathrooms are located just outside the lounge, down the hall near the elevators. Service has consistently been solid during my visits. Staffing has never been an issue, and it's always been easy to get help at the bar. The drinks are well-made and flavorful, though on the pricier side. The only food I've tried so far is the carnitas nachos, and they're definitely worth ordering. Overall, it's a fun spot for both adults and kids, and it's usually our first stop after checking in.

If you're going to name your wine bar Enology you better deliver the goods when it comes to wine…read more Enology doesn't. The wine selection is very limited and unimaginative. They had exactly zero Rhone varietals and just one or two Pinots when we visited last week. The red wines were mostly big jammy Bordeaux varietals and blends from conglomerates like Jackson. I'm guessing one distributor was supplying all the wine. Given the proximity to Sonoma wineries, this is criminal and a real head-scratcher. They need a better wine curator - heck, I could whip up a vastly superior wine list in half an hour. Our server, while extremely friendly and attentive, was not well versed in wine. He proudly brought a blend to our table that wasn't on the menu, stating "I don't know what this is a blend of, it's new" as he looked at the back label. I asked to see the bottle, and in black and white on the back label it clearly listed the varietals of the blend. It was another pseudo-Bordeaux blend and was very jammy. In a nutshell, lively bar (in a hotel lobby), friendly but not wine-versed service, lame wine list that doesn't live up to the name.

Cute lounge with friendly service. We got a happy hour zinfandel and it tasted old and expired…read more We enjoyed the vibe of the lounge and the trivia song event they had going on~

I visited the Davis location after paying my respects to a friend following a funeral in January…read more2025. My husband and I were dressed up, and it was fairly obvious that we were not college students. After breaking the ice and mentioning that it was my first visit to the Davis location, while my spouse had been there a few times before, the employees became more relaxed and accommodating. I appreciated their friendly service and the generous portion of the Kava Cloud Breaker. The Davis location offers plenty of flavors to choose from, which made for a great experience. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area.

Is kava an acquired taste that I'm too plebeian to understand? I gave this place a visit recently…read moreand did not find their drinks appealing at all. The Cloudbreaker immediately met my taste buds with bitterness and then left my tongue completely numb for several minutes. Perhaps those sensations would have paid off if they were followed by a calming or THC-like effect, but I didn't experience any change in mental state. The comfortable atmosphere saves this establishment from 1 star. Dim lights, leather couches, chill music, and colorful tiki wall art make for a decent study spot or date night. However, if you're hanging out at a business, you gotta support it, and to support it, you gotta buy something -- I can't see myself buying anything kava-related with any ounce of enjoyment. Surely there must be some variation of a kava drink that tastes delightful. I don't want to spend any more money finding out though.

I visited The View Lounge on a random Monday night and was surprised by how busy it was. The lounge…read morewas packed, so be prepared to wait a bit for seating since it's first come, first served. You can order drinks directly at the bar or find an open seat and have a server take your order. It took us about 10 minutes of walking around before we finally found a table. Although the service was a little slow at first because of how busy it was, once we were helped, the experience was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. The food is definitely on the pricier side, but it's well worth it. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the martinis were especially impressive. If you're looking for a relaxing spot with breathtaking views of the San Francisco skyline, The View Lounge is a great choice. The combination of great cocktails, tasty food, and the incredible city views makes it a place I'd happily visit again.

Trendy Santa Rosa spot with small shared plates that did not disappoint. 4.75 stars…read more Food: 4.75. Service: 4.5 Atmosphere: 4.5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes Highlights - Garlic noodles curly thicker noodles packed with the best savory super garlicy umami flavor. One of the best I've ever had and I'm not even a mushroom person. Still thinking about this dish. 5+ stars - Duck bun: single bao like sliced bun with a good portion of duck either hoisin, cucumbers, and sprouts. Wonderful fusion version. 4.75 stars - Poke: fresh large cubes of poke with thin large taro chips. 4.5 stars - Fries: unusually thin and flat versions with a lovely spice combo. 4.25 stars - Cheese curds: legit thin breading with gooey inside which is saying much just coming from Wisconsin the day before. 4.25 stars - Cocktails: quality unique versions. -- Easy rider: coffee bitters bourbon one came in a cool flask-like glass bottle. -- Humming bird: vodka, Aperol, tea, and bubbly was nice. - Wines: lots of great options by the glass, half bottle, or bottle. Some locals I hadn't tried which is fun. - Dining room is open and bright with wood floors, modern type furniture, and art. Also has a small bar where you can see drinks being made as well as a patio outside facing the street. - Waitress: gave us great reccos for ordering in my fave sharing is caring style. Lowlights - Lots of items with mayo for non mayo peeps (in guac and desserts) with some hidden not noted on the menu (poke, duck)

2+ to 3 stars a Wednesday evening dinner...my first visit…read moreeven though I'm a local. I' was quite familiar though with Starks near Railroad Square and use to frequent that location before Covid came along....anyway I know Bird is popular and I was really looking forward to a nice bar experience and tasty cuisine ...but I will probably not go again. *Atmosphere--the place is somewhat large with two floors and feels and looks non-de script. Very much a business. Noisy, busy, aloof. 3 stars *Cocktails--I didn't have a signature cocktail but instead requested Grey Goose over ice with a twist. The pour was so small; unacceptably small. A thimbleful . Very disappointing. 0 stars. *Food--we ordered the fried chicken and a side of greens. The chicken was good, moist, accompanied by a tasty slaw and pickled veggie bits. 4 stars The greens were okay but mediocre 2+ stars *Service--our server was pretty much going through the motions, perhaps a long day. 2+ stars, The host was pleasant and helpful. 4 stars. *Price--expensive. They also tack on a back-of-house charge. 2 stars. All in all, it felt formulaic...and I guess it is with Stark's. I hear they have a rockin' happy hour....
