Tuna 25. Santa Tuna

Got the tuna sandwich never again will order!! I said wheat bread got none it came with mayo I want no mayo said none the avocado was brown the tuna didn't have much taste

Croissant
Vinh G.

We were excited to try this new place that just opened it. It's adjacent to the movie theater and we found street parking right in front. Owners were very sweet and mentioned they had open they cafe just at the start of this year. What we ordered: Cheese Danish: Love cheese danishes and this was my favorite item we ordered. It wasn't too sweet which I like. Bbq pork banh mi: The meat and sauce was well done. Not traditional favors more americanized but still tasty. Meatball banh mi: a bit disappointing because I had thought this was going to be vietnamese style meatballs (Xiu Mai). Instead it was Italian style meatballs cut in fourths. Croissant: Different than other croissants. Not very flaky more bready. And much less butter than your typical butter croissant. Chicken Pesto Panini: Only saw after we ordered that there was a choice of bread. I guess the default is white, which I am not a fan of. Next time I would try it on sourdough or croissant! The chicken was good but little of it. The pesto was tasty but not very strong and overall the sandwich was a bit dry. Critiques and suggestions: 1. The sandwiches need more meat even if it means raising the prices. 2. Make chicken sandwich less dry by adding oil/vinegar or something. 2. Should add a veggie banh mi to the menu. 3.The pictures shown of the food seem like they were stock photos, so replacing those with actual photo would be nice. Overall: Pricing was very affordable the food as decent but there is room for improvement. The owners were happy to answer questions and take feedback. We did get to try a beef kabob not yet on the menu (not factored in this review) and hope they add more unique Cambodian items to the menu. Looking forward to see how they grow and improve.

Customer service was great. I come here to grab some food and coffee while waiting for the bus. They have some delicious pastry's and the white mocha coffee is my favorite ! Sometimes you will stumble upon homeless people trying to keep warm in here but they mean no harm and is never too many. Overall the ambience is warm and welcoming. I recommend coming here if you're nearby and wanting to grab a drink and/or food!

When we got here the lady greeted us and she was nice. Homey little space definitely feels like a cafe. The vietnamese spicy pork sandwich was really good it made me forget that i was on a diet lol... the foods and drinks are reasonably affordable. My fav cafe spot now, will be coming back!

Meatball Bahn Mi
Makayla S.

Food: The food here had a lot of amazing and delightful aspects to it. In particular I really liked the seasoning and sauces used in their bahn mi sandwiches. They have some kind of homemade special sauce that brings the sandwiches up to another level. I also really liked the berry, berry smoothie I got. They use mango juice as the base which gave the smoothie a nice bump of flavor which was very appreciated. Their chicken pesto panini was good. The pesto used and the freshly made tender chicken was really nice. The sandwich itself could use a bit of a sauce kick, maybe some oil, vinegar and oregano mixed in with the tomatoes. Otherwise a solid sandwich. Service: Omg I love these owners, they just opened this location and were very kind to my friend and me. They were excited to talk about their menu and were interested in hearing our feedback. I can feel the love here and I know that they'll continue to strive for excellence. Ambiance: Good lighting, big open windows, has some nice seating options. Overall very clean and well decorated. Overall: I would definitely recommend this place. The bahn mi alone is worth a visit if only to try their delicious house sauce used in their sandwiches. It's very unique and not found anywhere else I've tried. If they can fix their slightly dry chicken panini sandwiches and a few other growing pains with their ticketing system then this place will definitely deserve a perfect 5/5 score. Until then, leaving my review as a 4/5. Great foundation, looking forward to coming back to see their progress!

Everyone who works here have been very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful in making dietary adjustments for me. The food has been very good everytime I visit! Nothing has disappointed me. Strawberry Matcha (5/5 stars) - very good quality matcha! Much better than almost all the places in Sonoma County, very thankful they had strawberry syrup also since I'm allergic to fresh fruit Aroma French Toast (5/5) - could add more spices but very good french toast Omelette with potatoes (5/5) - Basic tasty omelette but they way they seasoned the potatoes are amazing! Elotes Callejeros (10/5) - You don't get a lot but they are incredible! I can't believe I'm saying this but it's the best elote I've had! Panzanella Latina (10/5) - Love this salad, putting sour dough bread is genius! It helps reduce the acidity of the dressing Overall, great for brunch or dinner!

I can see why Jeffrey's is considered one of the best breakfast in Santa Rosa, and has been for…read moreyears. With all of the options around it is sometimes hard to pick a place to go on a Saturday morning. Jeffrey's is a charming, family friendly establishment that is attached to a small inn off Highway 12. Other inside is pretty small, but they do have some outdoor tables. The interior has some lovely art on the walls as well as positive phrases making you feel like you're home. The service is also great here, and I feel like I've seen the same folks working here for many years. My wife and I ordered two different Hashes to share. The Brussel Sprouts and Bacon Hash is fantastic, which has this blue cheese aioli that gives the dish so much flavor. The Brussel sprouts seem like they're steamed and then tossed in the hash with sautéed diced onions, bell peppers and bacon. The aioli is on the side, but just adding a little bit to each bite gives it so much extra. We also ordered the special of the day which was a Smoked Chicken and Butternut Squash Hash. It has some of the same elements of sautéed onions and bell peppers, but this was served with a cilantro aioli. This dish, while not as amazing at the other Hash, was still really good. My daughter ordered the Buttermilk pancakes (added blueberries to them) with sausage and eggs. She certainly enjoyed them!

Ordered the Eggs Benedict. The poached eggs were on point. Absolutely perfect. The champagne hollandaise was a fun twist but couldn't save the meal. The English muffin might have been hard track. It was paper thin and I had to saw through it. Ham had no flavor at all. I don't think it was ham. Maybe thin sliced and unseasoned pork but not ham. Worst part was the county potatoes. They came out slightly above room temperature and hard. They're parboiled then flash fried. Not a bad way to get crisp but I can only assume they do this ahead of the rush and then they sit in a container to be served. My wife ordered her's extra crispy and they come out much better. Coffee smelled and tasted like an ashtray. Overall, I wanted to like this place and the service itself is amazing, but the back of the house needs some work.

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....

My boyfriend and I ordered wine, the artichoke dip, mussels, tagliatelle, 1/2 chicken, and bread pudding. There was a good variety of wine to choose from and the waitress was nice enough to give me a couple samples before ordering a full glass. We were surprised by the lemon / tangy flavor in the artichoke dip but really enjoyed it! We LOVED the mussels--this was a generous serving, and this was a great combination with the broth and sausage. The tagliatelle was clearly homemade and fresh, and the sauce was flavorful but light; the only thing I would change is the amount of peas / pea flavor. The chicken skin was perfectly crispy! Lastly, the bread pudding was literally baked fresh to the point where we almost couldn't order it. The staff told us it would be a bit of a wait, but when it took a little longer than expected, they continued to check in on us and whether we still wanted to wait. It was definitely worth it! It wasn't as sweet / cinnamon-y as other bread puddings that I've had, but was moist without being soggy and felt like a true homemade recipe. The ambiance was casual yet intimate, and despite being busy, didn't feel crowded or loud. We also appreciated that the wait staff didn't rush us out!

When I arrived, the process for getting admitted was weird and off putting. Instead of being brought to a table and given a menu, you have to order outside. There's no comfortable way to go over the menu while sipping on coffee. This was about as inviting as a McDonalds. I left after a few minutes.

This is a place that has perfected serving up tried and true favorites and don't mess with stuff that isn't broken. My bf ordered pancakes, bacon and eggs. I had my piece-meal "vegan special": side of (dry) toast, side of avocado, side of hashbrowns, and a fruit cup. The service was super friendly and FAST; the diner was bustling, noisy and smelled of all things breakfast. You can tell looking around that people "know" this spot and have been coming here forever. A great place for breakfast with a quick turn-around time. There are no vegan-specific items on the menu but something can be cobbled together without the server seeming judgey about it.
