Wow 10/10. The chilaquiles were the best I've ever had. The sauce had an incredible flavor with a salty balance from the queso. The restaurant is a vibe. It's so fun and funky.

We came in and stood around 5-8 minutes waiting for the hostess to even arrive, which I thought was a bit strange. When we were sat, we got a small table near the kitchen. We did also wait a while to get someone at our table and then we got a pretty chill surfer like dude who helped us maneuver the menu, etc. We started off with a glass of Chardonnay and they did have a great wine selection. We ordered the tomato toast to start and it may have been the best bite I had my whole Napa/Sonoma trip. I would recommend ordering TWO of these, they were that good. We also tried the yellowtail sashimi item with the passion fruit which was quite tasty but the tomato toast was the star of the show. For our mains we got the crispy rice and the halibut with the tomato curry, both which were recommended by our waiter. I thought both were decent - the crispy rice had good flavor but was inconsistent in the crispiness- some pieces were rock hard and others were just right, definitely too crunchy if you have sensitive teeth. The halibut dish was nice, it did have a good flavor but I just think I personally dont love halibut. Overall a good spot - reminded me of restaurants in Richmond,VA. Would like to come back for brunch or try more items.

I had the $60 Texture Flight, featuring Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while my spouse opted for the $70 Repris Flight. Lindsay was a good wine educator, knowledgeable, engaging, and unhurried. Since we visited midweek, we were given time to linger and enjoy the experience. The $30 cheese and charcuterie board was actually a pretty good value, although the five Rustic Bakery crackers allotted felt pretty insufficient. An additional cheese selection and some good bread would have made it feel more balanced. There were some really annoying flies in the tasting room, which were difficult to keep off our board. The wines were good and the education component was excellent. But at $60 to $70 per tasting, plus food charges, the value was not quite there for us. I'd give it 3.5 to 4 stars. A nice place to linger in Sonoma, particularly if you appreciate a tasting room on the town square, thoughtful wine education & strong AC on a hot Sonoma summer day.

If you've ever watched Cheers, that's exactly the feeling, only with amazing wine and authentic Sonoma hospitality! Whether you're a visitor to Sonoma or a local, I highly recommend stopping in for a glass of wine and experience something truly memorable .

You feel the warmth when you walk in. Carlo was a very kind and charming tasting room manager. He knows the wines, grapes and regions very well and captivates you with each story of the bottle he is pouring. He even explains the glassware. There are 3 different wine flights to try and you can taste by the class. The bar can also accommodate a flight that suits your preference. I was looking for an all red flight, and Carlo happily created one for me that I would for sure enjoy. For Designated Drivers, there are two non-alcoholic sparkling wines from Italy to try so no one feels left out. The tasting menu has light bites to complement the wines such as a charcuterie board, cheese plates, and chips. Carlo lets you know what goes well with the wine you're having. And for after tasting, a variety of coffees. The wines I tried were all delicious. I purchased 3 bottles. (Note: You can ask for a "dump bucket" but you don't need one because the wines are very good.) 1. Old Vine Rosé - So good and very popular that they have it on tap! 2. Whole Hog - A delicious Rhône! 3. Eleve Cabernet - drinks like a Bordeaux. When in Downtown Sonoma, please stop by and give them a try. It's a nice break from shopping or a good place to sit and chat with friends for the afternoon.

Our waiter, Willie, was very knowledgeable about the menu, seemed genuinely happy to be there, and provided excellent service throughout the night. My only caveat was the radish appetizer. I was surprised that it was literally chopped raw radishes served with butter. Thankfully, Willie brought us an aioli that significantly improved the flavor, but the dish still felt underwhelming compared to everything else. Steak au poivre: One of the best dishes I've had all year. It was fantastic, memorable, and the extra sauce was also delicious with the sourdough. Flounder: Buttery, citrusy goodness. It was cooked to perfection, and the sauce took it to the next level.

Our experience however was somewhat mixed. The restaurant is cozy and very cute; elegantly decorated with beautiful art works painted by the owner which we enjoyed a lot. Excellent service, our waitress was warm, personable and very pleasant. We received each a glass of complimentary champagne for our anniversary. To start, we ordered a cauliflower soup and a fig arugula salad. The soup was tasty and light, very enjoyable, salad was ok, we were hoping for a little more figs and pecan. Both of us liked the scallops and the relish, it was perfectly executed and delicious. We had high hopes for the mussels unfortunately it was a let down. While the broth was flavorful, most of the mussels were tiny. Hubby even got several bites with sand and had to go to the bathroom to rinse it out. We mentioned to our waitress, the manager came over to apologize and our dessert was comped. Which was a good gesture. We did also have nice chats with a family of four sitting next to us. Not sure if we'll return any time soon, if we do will stay away from the mussels.

Rather than showcasing the complexity, structure, and depth typically associated with the varietal, it came across as overly sweet and one-dimensional--more reminiscent of grape Kool-Aid than Cabernet. The venue itself was undeniably charming, with a cute and inviting aesthetic. However, the atmosphere was overwhelmingly loud. The energy felt geared more toward a sports-bar or "jock crowd" experience than a setting where guests could comfortably appreciate wine, conversation, and the nuances of the tasting experience. If you're seeking a lively social scene, this may be your place. If you're looking for a refined environment to savor wine, you may find the experience lacking.
