Caesar Salad
Kitty L.

We fiance and I both ordered the Polenta with Marinara Sauce and a Caesar Salad to share. The Polenta was absolutely delicious and the portions were very generous! We loved the warm and cozy family ambiance. Our Server Coco was so efficient, personable, and kind! He has eaten here many times but this was my first time, and we'll be back many more times!

Yes, there's bacon in there somewhere

How was scoping out sports bars and came upon this place for lunch. The beer menu was small but definitely affordable. I sat outside because I had my dogs with me. All the TVs are inside. They have an outdoor patio but no shade except under the awning in front of the restaurant. I chose to sit in the sun but even at around 70° it started getting warm. I moved into the shade under the awning where they have one table. The regular menu itself is pretty big with their specialty being pasta dishes. For an appetizer I got the fried zucchini which is presented in a different fashion. They were flat and wide with pretty good breading. It came with a ranch dip but I thought the fried zucchini was a bit greasy and at times was hard to eat because they were so wide and fell apart after I would bite into them. For my main I got a bacon cheeseburger with well done fries. I ordered the burger medium. The burger itself was good, big and juicy and the fries were seasoned fries and crispy. The service was fine as my server checked on me once in awhile since that was the only person sitting outside. I'll definitely come back to try their pastas and other dishes. *** Stars

Pesto lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs
William O.

I just wanted to leave an updated review since my last review was from 3 years ago. We ordered takeout from Art's tonight because it's not always easy to take the whole family out for a sit down dinner. But today Art's was doing a "Dine & Donate" for my daughter's elementary school so we had to make it happen somehow! My wife went to pick up the food and said the people who worked there were great and they were happy to help our school! I had to order the spaghetti and meatballs as my last review reminded me how good it was. We also got the lasagna with pesto sauce. Truth be told, it was a lot of pesto, but it was damn good pesto. My daughter scarfed down their cheese pizza and our cousin had their California Chicken Sandwich which she loved. I can't say anything for the ambiance since we did takeout. I do really appreciate this local, Italian joint and I hope people come and support them!

Chopped wedge salad and garlic bread
Linda B.

We got a lasagna which wasn't pictured and it was sooo good. Heads up, it's definitely very rich and flavorful. The wedge salad was exactly what we wanted and their garlic bread was perfect! Always a bit loud in there, which wasn't an issue. Definitely a family friendly spot with great service.

Chicken oregano soup
Kathi S.

We decided on an early dinner, and decided the reviews were worth trying out. Not sure how the pizza is, but the 'Italian' entrees were less than desirable. Carly, our excellent server, was prompt, friendly and as knowledgeable as she could be for a new employee to the establishment. My guess? Art probably established an excellent real Italian restaurant with authentic recipes and hopefully homemade pasta. He has since passed away, and I am sorry to say, whatever authenticity went with him. The vibe is a bar pizza joint, and I hope they serve a good pizza pie. The linguine and clams (I asked if it was a garlic sauce) was loaded with clams. That is where the dish ended. It had linguine noodles and a sauce made up of clam juice butter and lemon. I could not taste garlic, so she brought some raw garlic to toss in. The lasagna tasted like canned meat sauce poured over a bland dish of pasta. The chicken noodle soup had tasty chicken, but the overload of oregano was too much, we couldn't eat it and were not offered to have it removed from the bill. The Caesar salad was mayo heavy, could taste lemon and had sliced Parmesan on top. Tiramisu was not umptious either. For the cost of the meal, I will pass. We will try a pizza in the future, hopefully it is their saving grace. Oh, they should learn how to make pasta as well, instead of buying boxed pre made.

Kids burger with fries
Lisa W.

I was pleasantly surprised at the experience we had tonight here. I needed a place that would work for my grandkids & me. The kids menu sold me (and them). Dishes were $8 and the portions quite substantial. I had the minestrone soup (quite good) with a great salad. The photo depicts their green salad but it had salami on it and I'm a vegetarian. I was able to switch it out to a Caesar Salad that was yummy. Just needed more garlic, but the lettuce was very fresh. I had a side of garlic bread that was decent. As it was happy hour, I was able to enjoy a draft Stella for $5! Very pleasant service.

I come here at least once a week and it's always the best day of my week! Love the lunch special here! Probably the best restaurant in Rohnert Park!

Worth every penny spent!
Stefanie M.

Can't say enough about this place - first visit and felt very welcomed immediately upon entering, even though it was a very busy Saturday night with a bit of a wait. The parking is a breeze since it's a stand alone building in a big lot with other large stores. Lucked out with grabbing two seats at the bar just as folks were leaving, and sidled on up! The bartender was very attentive, had a great sense of timing for when to fire the food, and kept an eagle eye on our drinks for refills/refreshes. Prosecco ($10), draft Lagunitas IPA ($7) & a delicious Baldacci Cab ($16) worth every penny. The vibe is casual and cozy, and very family friendly. The portions are VERY generous! We split the spinach salad ($7.50) - everything was well balanced and the candied pecans were perfect! Next had the pesto pizza bites ($11) which was a lot of food. More like an actual pizza and super delicious. Entrees were beef ravioli with meat sauce ($21), and build your own pasta ($19) with 3 meatballs (+$7), creamy marinara, and fettuccini. We walked out with ample leftovers which will serve for another meal. Prices were worth the generosity, and the staff were great. Huge kudos to the whole team and can't wait to go back!

Great menu
Joel H.

What a treat... We were staying in Rohnert Park and I asked asked our front desk manager if he knew a place where I could get some wings and possibly a small (personal) pizza. Immediately, he told us to go to Art's Place just a two minute drive from the hotel. Easy in to the parking lot and there are plenty of spaces for the cars. We made our way into the restaurant and after a very cordial 'smile ands hello,' we were seated. It was a little later than we normally eat so we were not looking to go to large. Share a couple of wings and a small cheese pizza. They have quite the extensive menu here and I could see that everyone was enjoying many of their "signature" dishes. The menu also gives you a good history of Arts. I explained to our lovely waitress exactly how we like our wings and they came to the table as ordered. Extra crispy with extra sauce on the side. They were crisp, tasty and a good pick. Pizza was also delicious. Cheesy, saucy and not to much crust. Over all a good pick and and I know that we'll be back on future visits. I am still trying to figure out how anyone could rate this shop a one or two star. Do the foodie world a favor and do not write a review if you're not in a good mood or the world doesn't swing your way...all the time. KUDOs to the team at Art's Place.

Shrimp Alfredo
Lito Z.

Definitely a delicious comfort food spot. A little pricey but worth it. Everything looked tasty! I'm going to have to go back and try some more dishes!

Menu

This is a local's place. It was a rainy night and the place was packed. The bar was open though, so I was able to get seated immediately. I ordered the ribeye, which comes with garlic mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, and garlic bread. Also, I ordered a house salad, which is basically an antipasto salad), so more than a regular salad. The steak was a bit gristle-y, though well seasoned. The mashed potatoes were good, very smooth. The vegetables were overcooked and mushy, though. It's known as a pasta and pizza place. I saw a gluten-free option. Might try that next time.

I had chicken parm and a turkey pesto panini
Jewel S.

The service was excellent! Food and atmosphere are great. Had an Italian soda, it was delicious. A must try.

Pesto bites, garlic fries, regular fries, buffalo wings
Adilene A.

The food never misses!! I always love getting the pesto bites as an appetizer. The service is always so sweet.

Do they have a room for private parties?

I didn't see any private rooms for a party.

Are you open in person dining or is everything to go?

Both

Do they have outdoor heaters with the cold weather here?

Call ahead to find out they were there when I last dined outside. But just bundle up to be on the safe side the food is worth freezing for

Spooky Season Done RIGHT!…read more I've heard a little bit of everything about Waterhawk in Rohnert Park, California. Some good, some not so good, but I've always believed in experiencing a place for myself before forming an opinion. And let me tell you, I'm SO glad I did! This October, Waterhawk hosted a Halloween-themed pop-up, and being the Halloween lover that I am, I just HAD to check it out! Not only did I visit once, but I actually went TWO days back-to-back! That's how much I enjoyed myself! First off, can we talk about the VIBES?! They absolutely understood the assignment! From the spooky decorations to the festive atmosphere, everything was perfectly put together. I absolutely LOVE establishments that go above and beyond for holidays and special occasions, and Waterhawk did exactly that! You could tell they really put effort into creating a fun, immersive Halloween experience. And can we give a little appreciation to the STAFF?! They were dressed up for Halloween, which made the entire experience even better! I absolutely loved seeing everyone embrace the spooky season. It's those little extra touches that really bring a theme to life and make the atmosphere feel that much more festive. They weren't just serving Halloween vibes; they were part of them! Now, let's talk about the DRINKS! Their specialty Halloween cocktails were not only creative and perfectly fitting for the theme, but they were also absolutely DELICIOUS! I love when a place doesn't just focus on making drinks look pretty but actually delivers on flavor, too. Waterhawk definitely delivered! As for the FOOD, it wasn't too bad! Nothing particularly fancy or over-the-top, just your typical burgers and a few casual bites and snacks to enjoy while having drinks. It's pretty basic bar food, but honestly, it gets the job done! I wouldn't necessarily come here expecting a gourmet dining experience, but if you're looking for something to munch on while enjoying the atmosphere and cocktails, you'll be just fine! The music was ON POINT, the energy was amazing, and the entire atmosphere made you want to stay, enjoy another cocktail, and soak up all the spooky goodness! Everything came together to create such a fun and memorable experience. What I appreciated most was the effort they put into making this more than just another night out. From the decorations and specialty cocktails to the staff dressing up, it felt like a whole Halloween experience! I'm all about places that embrace the season and give their guests something special to enjoy! Overall, a solid 10/10 for their Halloween pop-up! Between the delicious cocktails, festive decorations, fun staff, great music, and incredible atmosphere, I had an absolute blast! The food may have been on the simpler side, but the experience itself more than made up for it! If there's one thing I love, it's a place that knows how to create an EXPERIENCE, and Waterhawk definitely did that! Two visits in two days should tell you everything you need to know! Waterhawk, you absolutely nailed spooky season!

Whoever is in charge of decorating Waterhawk deserves a raise because the commitment is REAL…read more The Halloween pop up is tucked away in the back of the restaurant with its own entrance and check in. Very different setup from the Christmas pop up! We went in on a Wednesday night, everyone was dressed up and on theme including the people dining. The food and drinks were just okay, nothing worth raving about or memorable but the atmosphere kept us for hours. If you love a good holiday pop up, Waterhawk does it best and deserves a spot on your fall/winter menu bucket list. 10/10 for spooky vibes and drinks.

Not bad, Bistro 101, not bad at all…read more.. My family of 3 decided to dine at Bistro 101 for lunch before heading back home from our little staycation here at Graton. Since we already had our fill of steaks, seafood, and Asian cuisine, I decided my tastebuds needed something a little more simplistic and normal to eat. That is what you will find at Bistro 101-American comfort foods at it's finest. All day breakfast is served if you're into that kinda thing. Lunch consisted of: *COMPLIMENTARY HOUSE-MADE CHIPS AND DIP *FIVE-ACRE CRUDITE: fresh veggies, hummus, and rye breadcrumbs [which i did not receive]. *CALIFORNIA CLASSIC- SINGLE w/ FRIES: cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, American cheese, secret sauce, on a brioche bun. *BOHEMIAN BOWL: turmeric quinoa, roasted sweeet potato, avo, spinach, pickled onions, chick peas, cabbage, cucumber, cashews, tahini dressing *BUILD YOUR OWN OMELET: choice of 3 ingredients + your choice of toast. We went with mozzarella, peppers, onions, and ham with sourdough bread. *STEAK + FRIES [for takeout]- requested for medium rare. fries couldn't be substituted for anything else unfortunately. House-made chips and dip is addictively good. My daughter literally ate up the dip. The cruite plate was absolutely stunning- beautiful on the eyes and great going down to the tummy. My only complaints with this was the pre-cut, thinly sliced cucumbers which took away from the crunch and the hummus being more on the sweeter side. The rest of the plate was full of fresh, vibrant veggies that I really enjoyed. The california classic was great- just your traditional burger and fries. The bun was toasted well yet still had the soft brioche aspect you come to expect. The bohemian bowl was a bad choice on my end. Just like the hummus being a bit too sweet for my tastebuds, so was the tahini dressing. I needed a bit more citrus to cut into that rich, sweetness. The omelet was great and my little monster got kicks out of the stingy cheese pulls that never seemed to stop. I'd come back specifically for the five-acre crudite and i'll be giving the Cobble Gobble a try as well. 4/5 stars, food is good and although the service is slow, the staff does a good enough job.

I have a new favorite salad: MIZUNA STEAK SALAD. A soy-marinated flat iron steak, napa cabbage,…read moremixed greens, watermelon radishes, edamame, pickled cucumbers, ginger, carrot miso dressing.

Unfortunately, I didn't get our waitress's name, but she was incredibly attentive and accommodating. She graciously allowed us to substitute side dishes that weren't normally interchangeable on the menu, such as replacing hash browns with mashed potatoes and gravy. Her warm and welcoming hospitality made our evening extra special. She even surprised my sister-in-law with birthday ice cream, and the staff gathered around to sing to her! We would definitely go back--the service was excellent, and the food was delicious!

This restaurant might become one of my new go-to's for early AM excursions to nearby Graton…read moreResort-Casino. That's because the casino has very limited early AM food offerings open this time of day. I was one of the few patrons dining breakfast here on an early Tuesday morning. My entree was the Bear's Choice breakfast, which is likely among their best selling breakfast options. 2 eggs, 2 sausage links & 2 buttermilk pancakes. Price-to-portion value with this entree @ $16.99 is ok, but, there's other diners and deals out there with a little better value imho. And regrettably, Black Bear oddly doesn't have any kind of rewards or frequent customer program. Which could boost more frequent patronage, despite their noticeably higher prices over other chains. I'm still not entirely accustomed yet to shelling out $20+ to $30 (including beverage, tax & tip) for your very basic sit-down breakfast. That's inflation-gate for ya' I suppose? And it's good to know at least that the restaurant is sandwiched on both sides by fast food staples Burger King & Jack in the Box. In case I ever balk last moment on Black Bear, lol. The food and little service required for my solo visit was fine. The restaurant's about a 5-7 minute easy drive to & from the Graton Resort, without having to get back on the busy 101 freeway. Which is another plus.
