    Came with a group during the bachelorette! The setting is gorgeous (blue sky backdrop) ad the vibes are very classy chic. We took lots of photos. The service was also quick and friendly. I was unfortunately underwhelmed with my dish, the linguini with clams. The sauce was so watery and tasteless except for a generic spicy taste, which just made my noodles and clams feel rubbery. My friends said the prawn/scallop tagliatelle was also not that great - they had to add lots of salt and lemon. Another girl got the chicken dish, which was actually pretty good. So maybe they do their "Stone" dishes better than "Salt" haha...

    We had a wonderful experience at Salt & Stone this weekend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not only does S&S have one of the most beautiful outdoor patios in Sonoma County it also has amazing food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My first time here was back in 2020, and it was the first restaurant we ate at since the covid pandemic began. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat by that beautiful pond, ate Surf & Turf, and were so thankful to be dining at a restaurant again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Since then this has been my go-to place for special occasion dinners and when I want a delicious filet mignon. On this visit, we started the burrata appetizer and their delicious bread and butter. The burrata appetizer has changed over the years, but its current form is very good. I do miss the crostini that it used to come with, but the balsamic reduction and the basil infused oil make this a great dish. The heirloom tomatoes were really fresh and the cucumber and arugula were nice and crispy. I always love the bread here along with the lava-salted butter. They also have a special, house made Cabernet salt at the table. The bread is free, which very few places still do that. For entrees, we ordered the filet mignon and the Meatloaf Tagliatelle (a special of the day). The filet mignon is always excellent, tender, and perfectly cooked. The red wine reduction and the blue cheese whipped butter bring the steak to a different level as well. The meatloaf tagliatelle was great. It wasn't necessarily my favorite meatloaf ever, but it had great flavors. The pasta and the sauce were awesome. For dessert, we had the special Toasted Coconut cheesecake. If they happen to have this dish on your visit here then make sure to get it. It was delicious. Unless you don't like coconut. I also want to shout out to the fantastic service here. We had a really fun conversation with our server and left feeling happy and full.

    This was my 1st time here and I really enjoyed myself. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The venue is very nice both indoors and out. There is a nice pond in the center of the outside seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Andrew was my server and he was a joy. Very attentive and helpful. I had the cauliflower soup with bacon, from the specials menu, then the strawberry and mango salad, small oysters, followed by the pork belly appetizer. The portions were big enough that this was my dinner. For dessert I chose the adult affogato. Everything was beautifully plated and had wonderful flavor. I'll come back again.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful grounds.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We have dinner with the short ribs and seafood dish. They were both tasty. The grounds are beautiful and the service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have plenty of heating lamps if need it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Valentines lunch at Salt and Stone was a good call. Our travel time from Napa took about 35 minutes along the scenic route of Hwy 12. We were promptly seated as we had made prior reservations and I'm glad we did as the people trickled in and soon enough the place was busy. Our server was polite, nice and attentive. We started off with 6 oysters, crab cakes. The crab cakes were good, the oysters not so much. My Louie salad is good nothing much to rave about. I wish I ordered something more than that. Maybe next time. We finished our lunch with flourless chocolate cake and off we go afterwards. I will definitely be back when it's not too dreary out and enjoy the gardens.

    The staff at Salt and Stone graciously accommodated my party of 11 as we were able to be seated outdoors by the beautiful pond and at a secluded table to ensure privacy on a week's notice. Our waiter was funny and efficient. Food was great for brunch. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and the grilled and raw oyster appetizers were tasty. Portions were generous. The bread pudding for dessert was a crowd pleaser. Highly recommend for your next big party or brunch.

    Fantastic service , they seat you really fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It gets packed in there, this is my second review of there with more pictures, food was good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The crabcakes were delicious. Oysters were very small for what you paid for, the shrimp salad was OK nothing too fancy. I liked the homemade dressing.

    So this was the $13 Caesar.  Before I touched it.  Both were the same size.

    My family swears the food is great but so far not my experience. My wife went with them a month ago, and couldn't cut her pork chop. This time my steak was so like warm the butter didn't melt, and the "salad" was roughly $2 per piece of lettuce. I wanna like it, but so mid. The quality of the steam was pretty disappointing, tons of huge fat chunks I had to cut out

    Suppose to be truffle Mac and cheese, but seems to ne more a cheese soup

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Location is really beautiful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Mixed opinion food wise. We ordered as appetisers, 12 oyster Kumamoto they were delicious, burrata and and heirlooms tomato's, fresh and really well balanced, charcuterie and cheese board, super good well matched cheese, and calamari also very tasty, till here all good, so we had great expectancy for the main! Unfortunately the main were a complete disaster, Risotto seafood special was blandly served, rice were overcooked ( not to be mean but one of the main point of a risotto is the rice texture need to bold and crunchy, what we recived was soft and overcooked rice, so that kind take a lot away from what a risotto should be) , also ordered truffle mac and cheese, we received a Mac and cheese bland fondue that look more like a cheese soup and not truffle flavour at all! Really disappointing tbh but I do want to make a special mention to our server Andrew, he was great and very polite, the 3 star in the reviews is because of his service that was lovely, otherwise for food only will have been easy a 2 star! Thank u Andrew for the way u take care of me and my wife!

    It was such a great place to eat good food! Call for a reservation - it's well known and so you are sure to have a table :-) You won't regret it

    Gluten-free fish tacos, big and very yummy
    Gin K.

    Another satisfying visit! Solo pop in to grab a bite amidst vacationers and locals enjoying beautiful weather. Sat outside in front (views are so pretty) and I scarfed down the gluten-free hearty fish tacos. Very good! Server's were beyond excellent, professional, friendly, super helpful. Impressed all around again.

    French Onion Soup - perfection
    D.wight L.

    I've been spending annual mini -vacays here in this valley for decades and I only stumbled onto this great wine country resto just this year. And so glad I did cuz now I wouldn't mind in including them in each visit from here on out. It rained on this particular trip in the fall months and even for a weeknight dinner, this place was still quite poppin' with mostly locals. That speaks volume. Since it was raining no one was sitting on their heavily landscaped patio with koi pond and vineyard glimpses. I still took a look out there just to get a sense for possible future outs, and it's a major greenlight. Started with a local Pils that I had never ran into: Cuver Bell Road's Pilsner. I had just finished a wine tasting just down the street and after tasting several types of wine, my mouth just gets kinda fatigued from the tannins and bold acid of wines. When I took a sip of this crisp Pils, it was the refreshment break my palate was waiting for, so...damn...perfect. Probably one of the best Pils I've ever had, not brewed on that side of the pond. I'm already searching on how I can get this into my home fridge. Trust. French Onion Soup ($12/5*) Since it was a grey and rainy day, it seemed almost everyone in the bar area had a bowl of this under their face. I haven't had this soup in ages and it just hit so perfectly on this evening. Perfect natural beef broth that wasn't too salty and studded with super tender caramelized juiliennes of onion that each bite so comforting and warming. And a big crouton which softens quickly sitting atop that onion-y broth and a thick layer of ooey gooey gruyere completely melted onto the toast, so as you took a bite of that cheese-y crouton a huge cheese pull ensued. Messy, hearty, satisfying. Probably THE best French Onion Soup I've had, and I've had it from many French bistros. Crisp Skin Salmon ($30/4*) Okay the salmon part was perfectly executed. Interior of the salmon was tender and moist, and the skin was crazy crispy like potato chip crispy. I love when chefs leave the skin on fish dishes and even more impressive when they can elevate it. Very simply seasoned that even though I enjoyed the simplicity, I felt it could have had an extra element to make it pop, like some herbs or a light sauce of some sort. This salmon sat atop some risotto that was heavily mingled with fresh corn. I think they took fresh corn, pureed it until it got all creamy so they basically had creamed corn. Then they used that to enrich the risotto. Great vibrant corn flavor but the rice to me just seemed more like wet rice versus risotto. Also there were just some halved raw grape tomatoes around the dish, which did add a pop of acidity and some color to the dish, but just felt the dish really could have used a significant vegetable component, like chard, broccolini or haricot verts. But still an enjoyable fish dish. Too full for actual dessert so I just had one of their Old Fashioned for a night cap. Theirs has a dab of marmalade to it and does make it fruity sweet. I enjoyed the sips but liked it more after I poured a splash of cold water into the drink, it made it more juicy and not so tight and hot. An awesome find and add to my Sonoma wine country trips. Just good ol fashioned wine country food without getting all tweezerfied and obscure. Fits me well, cheers and see you again!

    I'll definitely come back here! Salt & Stone was very gorgeous. Their menu was great, we couldn't decide on what to get but we had a little bit of everything, very delicious! Service was a bit slow, they kept forgetting stuff also. All in all, very enjoyable experience.

    Are there heat lamps for outdoor dining when it's chilly?

    Yes there are!

    Baked Alaska still on desert menu?

    No. But it may be an occasional dessert special.

    Is your restaurant pet friendly?

    I disagree w Todd. There is an undertone that is very unwelcoming. As soon as you step onto the outdoor patio, you are handed a small card with rules about dogs, which is fine but thru the meal the waiter kept making snippy comments. Our dog was… 

    What time is brunch served on saturdays? What time is lunch and then dinner?

    Dinner on Sunday starts at 5:00 PM currently. Brunch starts at 11:00 AM currently. Salt and Stone is a hit and miss at times. Usually good service, good food. Nothing outstanding.

    Is there covered patio dining in the case of rain?

    Yes there is, enjoy!

    Has anyone tried the brunch?

    Yes brunch is fantastic!

    Is happy hour available on the patio?

    Hello Luda, thanks for your inquiry. Happy Hour is available Mon - Fri 2:30 - 5:30 in both the Bar and the outdoor Bar Veranda.

    Corkage fee is $18.00 dollars per bottle. We were there just a few weeks ago.

    Though grand from the outside, VJB offers a nice casual tasting experience. We did a walk up bar…read moretasting, they have a variety of tasting options including some with food and outside on the piazza (not a pizza tasting like I first thought when reading it). Bar tastings didn't require a reservation for groups under 6, while the others did. The bar tasting flight came with 4 wines, though there was a welcome prosecco pour not listed, as well as a few off menu pours we got to try. I didn't personally love the wines, but I'm not always huge on Italian wines. Both of the friends I was tasting with ended up taking bottles home, one of them quite a few! They have a kitchen, gelato shop, and a small market located in the tasting room. The gelato shop and kitchen were pointed out to us from a far, but we did get to explore the marketplace and the fun goodies in there. Along with the deli case food items, they also had jarred pastas and sauces to go. The piazza was a cool area, but on a hot day I was glad we were tasting inside with all the heat from the cement. They had some areas under a trellis that were nice and fully shaded, that would be my go to if tasting outside here.

The folks from Carmel started up…read morea conversation and we had a really good time before they left to have dinner at a friends house. Service - the gal behind oysters bar was very skilled, very informative, and kept the food comin'. She created I wish I could call her out by name but it wasn't on the receipt that was texted to me. Food - on a scale of 1 to 10 it was an 11! * Lemonade was had good lemon taste and just the right acid/sugar balance. I learned that a batch is made each day, and occasionally two. The best I've had anywhere in Sonoma County or Marin County! * I order the first three items on the oyster list (this time two of each) and came up with a new favorite. Then I added four more to the favorite. At 81 I don't do well on short term memory! I love that what was done so right was the lemon and the mignonette (sp?) sauce that was exactly balanced. The last restaurant in Ptown and two absolutely terrible with a red and a white. * Next I ordered a Shrimp Cocktail. They screamed fresh, perfectly boiled that let the shrimp flavor out, and again the red sauce was perfectly balanced between flavor and heat. Had to made in house. And they just nicely crisply cool, not in a cold place that overwhelms the flavor. I don't think I've every had one this good! * Next was a pair of fried oysters. I was prepared for some oily, bready things that would ruin all of the above. BUT NO, the perfect balance was incredible!! * Last was the clam chowder. I'm soooo fussy about this after growing up in the NorthEast (Connecticut) and 4 years of college in Maine blew this one away. It lacked the perfection and freshness of my East Coast standard. But I finished with the last of lemonade and all was well. My standard has never been "perfect." I don't meet that standard, so the chef shouldn't have to either. Hey, maybe he's never been in Maine! P.S. there's not section for this, because the above doesn't happen without OWNERS that create processes and hire people that and buy the best incredients. Kudos, gals!!

    Service and atmosphere are satisfactory…read more Food menu could use some work. I'm not an oyster fan and it seems like that is their main focus. The main entree seafood dishes are uninspiring. They usually only have one or two fish options, and the preparations are usually bland. Wish they had more types of main entrees with good fish and steak options. The only item I actually like on the menu is the ahi poke. Not a lot of options when only one menu item stands out. The wine list is very weak. Only 3 options by the glass for red and whites. The last time we went they were out of both my top choice and second choice. I finally gave up and didn't get a wine since the only remaining by the glass choices were unimpressive. Overall, pretty solid but uninspiring food and wine. I guess it is primarily an oyster house, with all other seafood being second thoughts.
