Christine was fabulous in helping me figure out sauces and ingredients. She was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and deserves a big raise. :) I was already eyeballing the polenta fries (heart Polenta). I switched the sauce to a marinara that was perfect. I also ordered the wings with their homemade caesar dressing and the chipotle sauce. Both were amazing with the chicken. Husband loved their cheeseburger. We both had plenty of leftovers for lunch tomorrow. We ordered a Fog Lifter pizza with GF Crust and goat cheese to-go for dinner tonight. Thank you for a fabulous lunch after a stressful morning. It made our day. Plus the wine helped too. :)

We had a reservation and came here on Saturday for lunch. We were seated quickly outside on the…read moreshaded patio area- While it's not right on the river, it's right around the corner from the river. FOOD- For lunch my partner and I shared the fog lifter pizza that had pepperoni, spicy sausage, and bacon and a bbq salad. While the sausage was not in the least bit spicy, the pizza and the salad were the perfect combo to feed the both of us, where we were satisfied and ready to explore Petaluma after lunch without it being too heavy! The table shared the "finger-licking-good" roasted potatoes, but in my opinion, they were fine, nothing memorable in the same way the pizza and the salad were.

I'm so surprised to find out the bagels are sourdough bagels!…read more I love the chewiness and the varieties of bagels to choose from! It's good that I can order the pick up online so I can avoid long decision making time at the checkout. My go to is always sesame bagel. I tried the marble rye this time and it's so chewy and soft. I think I just found my new favorite!

We were a bit nervous cause the line was super long but service was SO fast and we were out of there in 10 minutes. The bagels are so fluffy and the homemade cream cheese is flavorful. I always love getting a sesame bagel with their scallion cream cheese, cucumbers, sprouts and radishes. A high end bagel place with upgraded toppings you don't typically see in your typical bagel shops. I highly recommend!

They played great music and the menu has so many options. I ordered a custom turkey and cheese on Dutch crunch. It was AMAZING. The bread was the beast Dutch crunch I have ever had. The turkey and all ingredients were great. It was certainly a top 5 sandwiches I have had. I highly recommend this place and it will be on my list any time I am in this area.

The Local is hands-down one of my favorite spots in Petaluma! Whether I am ordering delivery to my…read moreoffice via Petaluma Food Taxi or visiting their physical location, the food is consistently fresh, healthy, and incredibly delicious. I went in February mainly because they were having a February special and collaboration with Ji's Kimchi. They offered three choices: The Kimchi Rice Bowl The Gina (a fantastic vegetarian option) The Ji Street )It was absolutely amazing)! I truly wish they would make these items a permanent part of the regular menu because they were that good. It's a combination of the good, fresh and premium ingredients they purchase and use and in this instance that also included Ji's Kimchi! Beyond their specials, their standard sandwiches, smoothies, and salads are always top-tier. I highly recommend checking them out if you want a great meal!

Their selection of salads and bowls are great, and the outdoor seating is perfect for a warm sunny day. My friend and I stumbled across this place while out for a walk, and we were not disappointed! I ordered the Brunch bowl, consisting of brown rice, pesto, spinach, sweet potatoes, avocado, and egg. It was absolutely delightful! My friend got the Tahini bowl, which had brown rice, chickpeas, pickled cauliflower, cucumber, sweet potatoes, pickled carrots, spinach, and tahini. She also loved it! Both of them were so flavorful, I can't wait to go back and try another bowl!

Very nice cafe along the water. I always like a place along the water. Not a huge haul to Point…read moreReyes but it's the journey as well as the destination so we tend to break up trips with a stop. Andrea hates a long car ride like giving a cat a bath. Back in the day I used to travel to Petaluma by boat from Vallejo for the weekend with my parents so they could pound back gin fizzes all day with their other drinking boat buddies. Now days we drop in here on our way to Pt. Reyes. The downtown area has a lot going on (maybe not as much as Stacy's mom) and is definitely something to look into during the spring and summer. Inside seating and outside along the river. Looks like you can rent kayaks or canoes to paddle around. So coffee... check, breakfast goodies... check, champs and Momo's... check. So quick stop and on our way to Hog Island. If we lived here we would be here a lot I think. Will stop in again on future travels.

When paying you're prompted to tip, with the suggested amounts starting at 18% and going up from there. When they delivered our food, we asked for extra plates and silverware.

The ambiance is really nice, the restaurant is clean, and the food was so good. My friend and I were excited to try this place, so we ordered two different dishes and shared.

While we waited, I grabbed a biscuit scone, and it was so good! Fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to start the meal. Great food, great atmosphere, and friendly service. We will definitely be back!
