    Hawaiian pizza
    Luciente G.

    We came in Thursday evening after graduation, (less than an hour before closing) there was parking and several tables open outside by the ship. Ordered through the QR code and our food came out promptly and drinks even faster! We ordered Korean wings and a mushroom pizza. That Korean sauce on the wings was deeeelicious. They are connected wings so that took our adult kids a minute to wrap their brains around but once they did, they loved them! The pizza was well done, nice variety of meaty mushrooms. Pesto on top went very well. This was a great first visit to The Junction. Great to see what they did with the bones of the The Villa. First of many visits, I'm sure!

    Amazing newly renovated spot with an wonderfully beautiful view! Its a big , modern space thats dog friendly outdoors. The food was so good it was truly 5 stars and we thought it was good service too! Everything we ordered tasted great especially the pizza some of the best in the area forsure! A negative was that its kid friendly place with playground area, so its swarming with families and kids literally running everywhere sometimes unsupervised. Im not against kids but It was too much. The parking lot gets crowded but we found a spot!

    After many years, it's nice to see this location brought back to life. The renovation is very different from what it was before. It's modern and family friendly. As expected, the place was packed. It felt like everyone in Santa Rosa showed up at once and the parking area isn't quite handling the volume yet. Between parking, getting inside and navigating the crowd to get a drink, it felt a bit overwhelming. Service was a bit impersonal, you order on your phone via QR code, I've seen a trend with newer restaurants doing this so not a deal breaker in my opinion. The few times we did interact with staff they were helpful. We ordered a pizza to share for food. To finish we had ice cream. The food was okay, nothing memorable but decent. The drinks were the top highlight, I had two cocktails and felt tipsy, so they are not skimping on pours. To close out, I want add a self centered detail I noticed... there are no mirrors in the restrooms. It feels like an unusual oversight for such a new renovation. The restaurant itself feels almost like a warehouse, I really wish it would have kept some of its old charm. Overall, I give The Junction 7/10 for a first impression, it's a beautiful space with a lot of potential. I really hope they figure out the whole parking situation. It feels a bit hazardous and chaotic at this time .

    here's the good and not so good The good they've done a fabulous job of renovating the space taking full advantage of the amazing view. it's very modern. lots of various areas to sit inside and out games for the kids etc. we shared a couple pizzas that were really well made and tasty The not so good while they do have a lot of parking when they get busy it can be problematic. it was difficult to get printed menus. they wanted you to go on an app. You're kind of on your own to order your own food though we did get a waiter to help us. what surprised me the most was is they don't take cash. we were with a group of girls and we often bring cash to make it easier to split the bill but they don't take cash. that seems really odd I think it might be best for families with children. I'm not sure I'll be running back

    Very nice family and dog friendly spot especially on a nice day so you can enjoy the expansive outside seating. Lots of kids on weekends so be prepared for that. Inside is very nice as well. They don't take cash but ordering is quite easy from the table if one has a smart phone and you can also go inside to order. Good beer selection, food, especially the excellent Chicken Sandwich is reasonable though the beer is on the pricey side. the charge more for local brews than the actual breweries so $10+. Parking can be a problem on busy days but we bicycled once as did others but, oddly, no bicycle racks available. The driveway leading up to the place is steep and in shockingly bad repair which doesn't bode well for when the rain comes. It is narrow and even more so when overflow parking is to the side. Worth a visit.

    Margherita pizza with pepperoni
    Lexi G.

    My family and I were in the area and thought we'd drop by since we've seen so many people raving about it on Facebook and Instagram. We swung by on a Saturday around 4 PM, and wow, it was packed! I was really taken aback by how spacious the place is; we chose to sit outside where there are tons of tables and umbrellas, but walking through the inside, it's huge! We brought our 2-year-old toddler, and she had a blast sitting outside, enjoying the play structure, and watching other kids run around and have fun. This place is definitely a must-try for families with little ones. We ordered the margherita pizza with added pepperoni and the forbidden fruit (Hawaiian pizza), and both were incredible. Placing an order is simple; just scan the QR code at your table and your food will be served promptly. Finding parking was somewhat challenging, as it seemed like many people were creating their own parking spaces, but I believe this will improve in the future.

    Had such a great experience at The Junction! Met up with some friends and spent the evening there trying some of their food and drinks. Everything we had was really good and the atmosphere made it even better. It started getting a little chilly outside, but they turned on the fire places which made it feel super cozy and added to the whole vibe. We ended up staying longer than we planned because we were having such a good time. Great place to relax, hang out, and enjoy good food and drinks with friends. Definitely will be coming back!

    Brand new, tons of people and limited parking spots. Did not stop me from giving it a shot. The indoor and outdoor space is spectacular, one that will rival anything in Santa Rosa. QR code ordering is a nice touch too, especially since the staff was running for their lives. Being as busy as it was, food and drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time. Pricing was good, and honestly the food was great, we ended up with the shroom pizza and Brussel sprouts. Really cannot complain, but be aware parking is rough right now during their early days of being open. May be easier to park at the bottom of the hill versus the madness above.

    Cheese curds
    Christina U.

    Came here recently and had a really great experience! The ambiance is great-super relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for a casual hangout. A few things that really stood out: -Effortless Ordering: They use a QR code system at the tables, which made ordering and paying incredibly easy and fast. No waiting around for a server to grab our initial round. -Fantastic Patio: The outdoor seating area is beautiful and features lots of shade umbrellas, making it a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy the day without baking in the sun. The only real downside is that while the patio for adults is beautifully shaded, the kids' area gets a bit intense. I would love if the play structure had shade or some canopies over it for those hot afternoons, as the equipment can get pretty warm for the little ones. Overall, it's an awesome spot with a great vibe. We will definitely be back!

    Emmy M.

    I love this place! Great lighting, food and vibes! It's a little loud but it's the sound of people out enjoying themselves! Always great music. One thing I have to say is I'm always impressed how greased the wheels are. They did a really great job hiring because the staff is on point and service is fast.

    They could benefit from a greeter at the entrance of the restaurant. The moment you walk in you experience a sense of chaos, do I seat myself? Do you order to the right at the blue counter? Do I order at the bar? FYI to new future customers...seat yourself & menu QR code is on the table. Enjoyed the cheese curds, dipping sauce extra charge. Also the pizza crust was tasty. On a 80 degree+ hot day, inside can be quite warm, ceiling fans would be helpful.

    Hilltop
    William M.

    First time at the junction and it was full up and a lot kids. Considering the size of the crowd the food came out quickly. Salad was good smaller than Bucks, the Korean wings were very good and we love both pizzas the shroom and hilltop. Never got our meatball after asking for it several times and they had run out ! The only miss. The place us very loud

    We had high hopes but the venue failed in every regard…read more The layout and the decorations are just beautiful, but the functional acoustic atmosphere is horrible, it's almost the worst I've ever been in. 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.

    We were here for a 21+ ticketed event with some friends. I purchased a friends ticket, and we had…read moreagreed my friends would cover 1 or 2 drinks for the night. When we first arrived, I joked to my friend while we were ordering, "First round is on you because of tickets, remember?" - no big deal. We ordered a few (honestly, pretty mediocre) drinks, sat down, and enjoyed a great cover band that played music I grew up with. The atmosphere was fun, people were dancing, and we met and chatted with a few friendly folks near the bar and nearby tables. Most people were definitely buzzed, some outright drunk. It's a 21+ event, after all. It was a fun time. The problem? I was ''cut off'' after only 2.5 drinks, as one had accidentally spilled. When I went to order another after dancing with a friend, I raised my hand in a silly, playful way and smiled while ordering. Apparently, that was enough for the bartender, an older white woman (Ellen, I believe her name was), to decide I'd had "too much." She seemed to think other people were buying me drinks, which wasn't true, only my husband and friend did. She could have easily confirmed that with me or with whoever she thought was buying the drinks, but instead, she relied solely on her own incorrect judgment. I was definitely not drunk or behaving inappropriately. Meanwhile, there were people around us who were visibly intoxicated; slurring, stumbling, and clearly having a good time. They kept getting served without issue. One particularly drunk man made one of my friends uncomfortable, yet nothing was said to him. The difference? He was an older white guy, while I am a person of color. What really got me was when a bouncer pulled me aside to check my ID AFTER I had already been at the event for hours. I had walked past him multiple times that night, as I had gone to the bathroom or just stepped outside with friends. I wasn't carded when I first entered, and clearly my age had not been an issue until that moment - because you know, It was a ticketed 21+ event. I had, as stated above, even ordered a drink when we first arrived. Being told I'd be kicked out if I was seen with another drink, despite being calm, respectful, and coherent, felt humiliating and unfair. No one else was pulled aside, yet anyone with eyes witnessed plenty of people who were clearly less than sober, if you know what I mean. I understand the importance of responsible alcohol service, but the inconsistency and bias in how it was enforced here was obvious. It is disappointing when a place that's supposed to be about fun and music lets staff's assumptions ruin someone's night. It felt less like "safety" and more like a snap judgment and doubling down on an assumption.

    This is based mainly on happy hour and the bar. The decor is truly lovely here, especially toward…read morethe evening, they have beautiful lighting throughout. Also on the weekends they've been known to have sone nice music accompanying the pretty lounge. The cocktails are average price, and tasty and there is an upscale vibe. If they improve the food and the comfort of the high top seat backs which are very low, I'd give a couple more stars. There's a menu that looks interesting and affordable with an Asian flair... but that's where the disappointment starts for me. It's lopsided with deep-fried, more protein, vs veggies, & plenty starchy items! We tried the panko crusted sliders, which we should have known meant the beef paddies would be deep fried. It was actually filling, but tasteless. It needed some onion or garlic aioli, slices of juicy tomato or something! We also got the chicken wings; again deep fried and in a sticky sweet Asian sauce that was tasty but very sweet. I did not try mains as they were on pricy side. We sat at the bar where service is ok, and better the more you order type of vibe.

We had also tried Grossman's Noshery & Bar from the same restaurant group and were happy with the food there. I also heard good things about their other restaurants, so it should not have been a surprise that we were also impressed with the food here. Food is served tapas style and honestly, all the dishes sound appetizing. On this visit, we tried a few dishes. I wish I came with a more empty stomach to try more things. We ordered their crispy maitake mushrooms, steamed local black cod, and grilled house-made lamb sausage. Everything was delicious! The crispy maitake mushrooms came with a fish sauce which gave a nice brightening note to eat with fried food. Lemon was also fried with them to help cut any grease, so overall this dish did not feel oily or heavy. The steamed local black cod's ginger scallion oil surprisingly paired very well with the black truffle pesto. It had an earthy flavor profile that was brightened by the ginger. The cod was perfectly cooked and the mushrooms soaked up all of that saucy goodness. I loved this dish! The grilled house-made lamb sausage was Thai inspired and you could definitely taste the spices in the sausage. I actually would've liked more of the tamarind BBQ sauce and basil salad on this dish to help counter the lamb's spiciness a bit, but I enjoyed the dish. Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was excellent and came out quickly. The restaurant is housed in what looks like a historic house, so it was a very cozy environment. They have a patio where you could eat while enjoying nice weather. I would definitely come again if I'm in the area!

    This review is specifically for the Charlie's Candy Shop escape room…read more We came a few months ago in a group of six. I think the Finding Bigfoot escape room wasn't even open yet. The Charlie's Candy Shop escape room was created with AI, and we genuinely felt that was a mistake. This wasn't our first escape room, but we were completely lost. So many of the instructions were confusing and didn't make any sense. All the clues were super vague. One of the instructions was incorrect ( that's why we couldn't complete the task ), and our room host told us about it after our time had ended. We also got the exact same hint twice, from the button and the paper. Overall, the room felt cheaply made, and some of the components were broken. The host also told us that the percentage of people/groups completing the room without hints from the host is zero, which, in our opinion, is odd. So I guess the room is too hard, but mostly because not much of it makes sense. We think, the clues should be more helpful and clearer than what we experienced in Charlie's Candy Shop escape room. We still have hopes for the Finding Bigfoot escape room ( assuming it wasn't created with AI ). P.S. Our host was nice and friendly. He even let us glance at the soon-to-be-open Finding Bigfoot escape room, which we really appreciated. +1 star for the host.

We enjoy bowling during football games so we can watch and bowl and get boneless wings from victory house (and sometimes Bloody Marys). I've also come to watch friends play soccer at their different indoor courts. Only downside - it feels a bit like a germ fest. Lots of hand sanitizer and now I feel like I need to take some elderberry.
