    It definitely has an old-time speakeasy vibe. Lots of wood with burgundy accents. I ordered the heirloom tomato salad with burratta, which was huge. Followed by a gluten-free pizza with pepperoni and double mushrooms. To drink I tried the Treasure Troll mocktail, which was refreshing. My server was friendly and attentive. Everything was very fresh and well prepared.

    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.

    We love Jackson's Bar and Oven! Service is always great, the food is plated beautifully and of course delicious! The cocktails are unique and yummy in our tummy! In my opinion, the only downside is the price... they are a little spending, so we don't dine here as much as we would like too, but we love it when we do!!

    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.

    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.

    Mac & Cheese
    Jen S.

    Got the Mac and cheese, mussels, and pasta bolognese. The Mac and cheese was good, could've done without the bacon in it (it didn't really add to it). The mussels were delicious and a hefty portion. The bolognese pretty good, it is under the bigger eats section but wasn't that big of a portion size. Service was okay. Wasn't too busy when we went but had to ask to get our water filled each time and would have to call the server over if we needed something. The inside was dimly lit the bathroom could've been better.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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. 😇😉

The restaurant offers a simple, approachable menu with a little something for everyone, making it a great spot for groups with different tastes. We kicked things off with the cocktail flight sampler, which was hands-down the highlight of the experience. Not only is it a fun way to explore their drink menu, but it's also a great value--especially considering individual cocktails are $14 each. Our server was fantastic and happily swapped out a few of the flight options to better suit our table's preferences. It made the experience feel even more personalized. For food, we ordered a spread: calamari, poke, zucchini chips, and prawn tacos. While everything was presented nicely, the flavors were just okay--nothing particularly memorable. That said, the zucchini chips were probably the standout of the group, especially if you're in the mood for something crispy and light. What really made the visit enjoyable was the friendly, attentive service. The staff was warm and welcoming, offering thoughtful recommendations without being pushy. Perch + Plow is worth a visit for the drinks, the view (if you're by a window), and the relaxed, modern vibe. Just don't go in expecting mind-blowing cuisine--but if you're looking for good cocktails and a chill spot to unwind, this is a great pick.

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.

There's almost zero damping and no acoustic management whatsoever. It has the appearance of an attractive venue without the functional reality.

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.

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.

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.
