    Bread
    Becca B.

    We got bread to share for the table. A French dip with French fries. And the. A shrimp dish that had a bit too much sauce and I think Christy rice under it. But wasn't very crispy due to the sauce amount.

    Beautiful spot on the main drag in Santa Rosa, a wonderful little city in wine country. There's a busy bar and tables on the main floor but we were seated up in the loft. Beautiful table, great servers, friendly, attentive service. For appetizers we tried the Mac and cheese, chicken piccata meatballs, garlic shrimp and broiled oysters. All the food disappeared quickly. There is a large wine and beverage list so we enjoyed a few drinks. Dinners ranged from Italian beef dips, to salads, truffle oil fries and more. The food was freshly made, presented beautifully and very flavorful. This is a great spot but I would recommend reservations. Love it and will return. Very pleasant staff.

    Great portions! Visited after being reccomended this restaurant by the Sonoma Hyatt hotel and was very surprised by the large portions. The waiter also said that the meal can divided for two people before it is taken to the table. Everything was delicious, fries were really good too! If will be in the area, will be back as the menu had lots of good sounding choices.

    I realize I have not been to Jackson's in quite some time and after a little hike, ww were ready for a cocktail and a bite. The ambience is super nice with tasteful decor and a good vibe. Both the server and the hostess were incredibly friendly and efficient. My friend and I both enjoyed a fabulous cocktail that was super refreshing. The beet citrus salad was spot on. I don't think I've ever had one quite so good. The downfall was the gluten-free pizza unfortunately. The crust just wasn't very good. It's unfortunate that places charge extra to have a gluten-free crust. I'd come back for the beet salad and cocktail anytime, but I'll pass on the pizza.

    Stopped in for a quick drink and had a great time. Super attentive and speedy service. Great drink menu with mocktail options. Would be happy to come back and try out more of their menu.

    The awesome red wine

    Met up with dear friends Joe and Roanna. We were seated upstairs which was nice cause I could hear across the table. I ordered the New York steak, medium rare, Roanna and Katie had steak sandwiches, Joe enjoyed a margherita pizza. Everyone enjoyed their selections. Food was properly cooked and artfully plated. Joe selected a wonderful red wine - Carlisle Zinfandel - that paired very nicely with my steak. We delighted in the JACKSON'S BEIGNETS for dessert. I had a beautifully crafted cappuccino.

    Shrimp Louie salad! Shared it so the server had the kitchen half it for us! Great size and very delicious

    Had a great time at this amazing venue. Service was wonderful and the guys was delicious! Everyone enjoyed their appetizers, drinks and meals. We sat upstairs and no other pay was there until we were about to leave which was great! The upstairs was perfect with my grandson! Downstairs was definitely more of an adult vibe which is great! They also gave my grandson a little starter snack which he loved! Fruit, veggies and cheese. We got their bread...forgot to take a picture but that was the best appetizer bread ever!

    Big Bowl of Wood Oven Roasted Mussels

    It was a dark rainy Sunday....we were able to get a table right away. We even got a parking spot not too far. The server was friendly, patient and helpful. The inside was comfortable and not too loud. We ordered cocktails, mussels, and the brick chicken w/ orecchiette. The cocktail went down easily. The mussels were perfectly cooked, and their chorizo sausage was meaty and flavorful. The thin sliced fennel added a nice depth to the sauce. They grill their bread so it was a perfect way to soak it up. I was really looking forward to the orecchiette, but it was my least favorite of the three items. It wasn't bad, but a $38 chicken pasta should be much more than we received. The chicken was not juicy, but the skin was crispy. The orecchiette with garlic cream sauce was less than amazing.

    Went for a work lunch . Very pricey but food was good . Had the French dip which was delicious but it was $26. Service and staff were friendly. Restaurant clean and busy for being mid day on a Thursday . Great place for a special occasion meal or if you got it like that the go for it .

    Drinks are pretty and  delish
    Janet M.

    Service was amazing Ambiance was infectious Burger was juicy and tasty fries were so good! And the dessert was on par!

    deconstructed hot wings
    James M.

    First off the food here is very well prepared and tasty. Proper seasoning with a creative take yet sticking to the basics. The fried items are crisp. The steak juicy and flavorful. All the aromas are lovely as well. These elements might be basic but so many restaurants fail at them. Jackson's deserves all the kudos. The drink program is quite good as well. Let's talk about the service. Top notch! Service you would experience at a Michelin Star Restaurant. Fabulous. The little things like wiping the table between courses. Super attentive and caring. All stars! I highly recommend this spot. If you are staying near downtown Santa Rosa it's a short walk from pretty much anywhere within the city. Looking forward to our next visit.

    Espresso Martini
    Kate K.

    Great go-to spot for a mid day bite/drink. The quality of food and drinks are consistent that it keeps me coming back for more! Favorites are Espresso Martini or Spicy Marg + Burrata. Bar seats are the best (IMO) but don't be surprised when you can't find a seat, cause it is a happening place to be. Not a sports bar but you'll have a good time.

    Mussels were a treat. Watch the closed ones though - we got at least 6 questionable ones.
    Scott M.

    Great spot for happy hour, dinner, or after dinner. Great staff, and a chill bar scene. Not fine dining, but good enough for a weekday Wood fired pizza is good, but they have some hefty other plates. Try the mussels, desserts, and dont forget the wings - they have a great take on this classic dish!

    What's the latest you can walk in and place an order?

    Are there gluten-free options besides pizza?

    I'm sure any of the salads are or can easily be made gluten-free, and at least the burgers could be served in lettuce wraps. Especially if you ask nicely before or at the start of your visit, and tip graciously when your requests are fulfilled. 😇😉

    We tucked into The Grove (with reservations) on a rainy Friday for an early dinner. Despite having…read morethree menus - drinks, dinner, and happy hour - choosing what to order didn't feel overwhelming, and we quickly landed on the anchovy toast, beet salad, shrimp & grits, and mushroom risotto. Our server was incredibly friendly, and the entire room shared the same warm, easygoing vibe. The small, speakeasy themed space was already packed at 5 PM, so reservations seem like a must. Everything we ordered was well-prepared and delicious, but the standout dishes were the beet salad and the shrimp & grits. The beet salad had a perfect mix of textures; chopped pistachios, tender beets, and crunchy radishes over a pillowy ricotta. I finished the salad wishing there was more. The shrimp & grits featured a potlikker sauce that absolutely lived up to the hype; it made the dish. I wish the shrimp & grits were served in a bowl rather than a shallow dish. I found myself chasing the sauce and polenta around the plate, trying not to push it over the edge. That said, if it were in a bowl, I might have just drank the sauce, so perhaps this is the restaurant's way of preserving a bit of dignity for its guests. Next time, I'm hoping to visit when oyster po' boys and fried green tomatoes are on the menu.

The vibe is effortlessly chill, with whimsical decor--think antique lamps, an old record player, and lots of little details that make you want to look around. The whole place felt alive in the best way--buzzing with conversation, laughter, and people clearly having a great time. We didn't have a reservation, but lucked out with seats at the community table. Bonus: the other guests were super welcoming, which just added to the fun, communal feel. We hit happy hour, and wow--it's a good one. Tons of interesting bites and a solid drink lineup. I went with a whiskey sour, my friend had the ginger beer on draft (very refreshing), and we shared the prawns, Brussels sprouts, and creamy mac & cheese. Everything was seriously delicious. Shoutout to our server, Melanie--friendly, attentive, and totally on it, even with the place packed. A couple things to note: it does get loud, so maybe not your spot if you're after a quiet, intimate dinner. Also, the happy hour menu listed Brussels sprouts but didn't mention bacon--I'm vegetarian, so that was a bit of a surprise. (It is noted on the regular dinner menu, which I admittedly didn't check.) All in all, such a fun, lively spot. I'll definitely be back for more bites and cocktails.

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. First course was a small cinnamon bun and mini chocolate crossiant, second course was a tiny portion of french toast casserole and egg frita, and then dessert. It was all sugar- no protein, or fruit. Definitely felt like a rip off.

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.
