We had the Bird and the Bottle for dinner before a comedy show at Luther Burbank theater and were impressed by the variety and quality of the menu. There was also a well curated wine list and delicious cocktails. The service was great and the setting was cute and unique - basically dining inside a two story house. We will return!

Happy hour cocktail
Jessica F.

Unique and tasty asian fusion small plates offering with cute interior. Creativity of the menu was off the charts, American style food with really fun twists. The fries were the best I think I have ever had, they were so flat and crispy and the perfect bite each time, loved the everything bagel seasoning and the aioli type dip so so good. And a steal at $7 on the happy hour menu. The cocktail for happy hour was also well priced and super strong and delicious. I had the garlic noodles which were perfectly bouncy with an amazing texture, chewy and buttery, definitely good for sharing as the noodles alone were too rich for one person. The double smash burger was hefty and yummy too. All the items were so decadent and tasty and well flavored. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for casual creative vibes in Santa Rosa!

I went to town on the HH menu. Dirty Dilbert (nice and refreshing with a little kick), Miso Good Guac (of which the wonton chips were so good), and the charred edamame which was prepared to perfection. Whatever they were drowned in... I'm here for it! I know a chili oil but it also appeared to be loved in butter to some extent... damn good either way! I also ordered the maitake taco... 10/10 w/the yuzu mayo. The Mary's Smoked Wings... not a first date food, that's for sure. :-) A nice level of smoke and flavor with a tasty goat cheese ranch.

SF "Style" Garlic Noodles ($24)
John D.

Bottle It Up One of six restaurants owned by James Beard semifinalists for "Outstanding Restaurateurs," Mark & Terri Stark, it's considered by some to be their "...best restaurant yet..." Bird & The Bottle has a really interesting menu that seems to blend American, Vietnamese, Jewish, and everything in between, as they use their wood-fired grill to deliver maximum flavor in their dishes. The Good: * Fantastic outdoor dining space * Reservations via OpenTable * Daily Happy Hour (HH) from 3-5 p.m. However, please note the website and OpenTable both say the HH menu is limited to certain dining areas, but I'm pretty sure we sat in the main dining room and they didn't have an issue with it. But, just sayin'... * HH drink prices are terrific, and they definitely don't hold back on the liquor. * And, speaking of HH, get that Pastrami Taco. Actually, get two. You won't be sorry. * Brews on tap, as well as the aforementioned full bar. * The Everything Greens dish was our everything, and that's saying something--because as good as everything else was, this dish was the highlight of the meal. A+++ get it. * BBQ'd Bone Marrow was, well, just look at those pics. Luscious comes to mind. If you've never had marrow before, then welcome to the club. * The SF "Style" Garlic Noodles might've been our second favorite dish behind the Everything Greens. The texture of the noodles and the deep, umami garlic flavor were spot on. Maybe the best garlic noodles I've ever had. * Double Chocolate Mayo Cake was so ridiculously good that I don't even know where to begin. The cake was moist and full of chocolate flavor, and the dark chocolate ganache on top was just ooey-gooey goodness to the max. * Wood-grilled Certified Angus Beef Skirt Steak was just OK. Nothing wrong with it--in fact, quite delicious--it just didn't have the "wow" factor the other dishes had. It's like coming in fourth at a beauty contest--it's not that you're not beautiful, you're just slightly less beautiful. ¯\(ツ)/¯ The Meh: * Just beware most of these items aren't particularly large, so you'll definitely want to order a few if you're a big eater like ourselves. :8) * The prices are, well, what you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber, but I will say the food was all fantastic and 100% worth it. * Service was probably the biggest issue, as it literally took forever between ordering our HH dish and drink and finally getting them. I know it's really hectic during that time, but an almost thirty-minute wait for one taco and one drink is a bit much. However, once HH was over, the dishes started coming out at a much more expedient pace. The Ugly: * Parking can be a bit of a challenge, even with their shared parking lot, as we had to luck out and find a space on the street. Definitely be mindful of the signs in their shared lot, as some of the spots are reserved for other nearby businesses--and they will tow you according to the signs we saw. So be forewarned. Conclusion: If you're looking for one place in Santa Rosa to dine at, then this might be the one. I'm honestly surprised they're not at least Michelin-recommended. In fact, some of the dishes we had here were better than dishes we've had at Michelin-starred restaurants, but I guess that's all debatable. **They also own Monti's Rotisserie, Stark's Steak & Seafood, Grossman's Noshery & Bar, Willi's Wine Bar, Augie's French, Willi's Seafood, and Bravas Bar de Tapas.

Everything Greens
Carissa K.

This place was a highlight of our overnight trip to Santa Rosa. John picked this place and I have to give him kudos. The food was outstanding and way better than I anticipated. My two favorite things were the Everything Greens and the Mayo Cake. Even the cocktail was outstanding (I rarely drink these days so it had to be good in order for me to drink a cocktail). The service was okay. Our table was kind of in a weird spot and I felt like our server kept forgetting about us. Also, he made it clear that he would have our starter come our first (bone marrow) and then have the other items come after. That didn't happen. But whatever. The food was so good that all was forgiven. I think coming at Happy Hour makes things a bit chaotic for the staff. The food and drinks during that time were very slow. But once that hour was over, the food came out much more quickly. I would love to come back and taste more items on the menu.

Everything Spiced Fries
Maggie D.

My husband + I celebrated our 22nd anniversary here. It was the best meal we've ever had. I ordered the wood grilled skirt steak, the everything spiced fries + the special of the day: half lb rib w/Korean spices. My husband ordered the What Pho? and said it was good. We are from out of the area and said that coming to eat here again would be the primary goal of that trip. lol. Service was great! They were busy and we are glad we made a reservation.

Millie B.

I was intrigued with the restaurant name and saw good reviews on Yelp. We chanced upon Bird and bottle for lunch and glad that we did. My husband and I shared a few small plates that started with the little gem salad. We enjoyed each one but will pass on the octopus next time. No complains with service as it was prompt and attentive.

Fried Chicken Thigh Bun
Nina Z.

Our group had a great experience here! The chicken wings were nice and crispy, chicken thigh with the bao style bun was a unique experience that I enjoyed, and I loved the pops of flavor with different sauces and fresh herbs. They definitely seem to put a lot of thought into their food. Service was great as well. Would definitely recommend for a fun date night or happy hour!

Everything fries
Carlos P.

In this area again tonight. We stopped by during Happy Hour which is everyday 3-6pm as of right now. I had the duck tonight and it was very different. As like most of there dishes each and everyone is like an explosion in your mouthgasm if you will.

The skirt steak with trumpet mushrooms
Beth H.

Driving back from Fort Bragg on my way into San Francisco. I decided to stop in the Santa Rosa area because I was starving. I knew immediately I needed to come here for an early supper upon looking for restaurants in the area. They definitely didn't disappoint. The cocktails are just so delicious. I had the Shiso Pretty and wow, this is a great cocktail with Grey Goose vodka, St. George spice pear, shiso drinking vinegar lime I ordered the skirt steak with the everything greens. I highly suggest having them together. I had ordered them separately when the server mentioned it was her favorite, and it seemed to be the favor of many of the staff at this restaurant. The combination together is magical. Love this restaurant. My server named Star and she was friendly and proficient. Also gave some great advice on both the cocktail and my choices.

Smokey Poke
Marc K.

Great and friendly service, attentive and professional. Nice cozy and homey interior with really nice outdoor seating on a raised patio. Great food. I'm not a huge fan of fusion Asian but this is the first place that actually pulled it off and didn't make me wonder why the food was odd. Bold and vibrant flavors without seeming out of place, and all the dishes were very well balanced flavor-wise. Nice presentation, simple and pleasant. Recommendations by staff were spot on good. Mushrooms and poke were amazing. Unfortunately I can no longer say that all fusion food sucks and I hate it.

Fried Chicken Thigh Bun
Emeline T.

Got around to trying this spot during Sonoma County Restaurant Week with my boyfriend. The inside was very lively and we were seated right across from the open kitchen, which was cool to see but also inconvenient for conversation. We couldn't really hear that well across the table, so if that's a concern I'd consider booking an outdoor table. Service was very friendly. First, we ordered the scallion sesame cornbread off the regular menu, and then ordered the rest of our food off the Restaurant Week tasting menu. The cornbread and salads were pretty good, no complaints. The garlic noodles were super salty, kind of overpowered with soy sauce flavor and not much else. These definitely aren't traditional garlic noodles, and taste a lot more American. Also, we expected the noodle texture to be bouncy but there was kind of not much chew at all. The chicken bao burger was pretty good flavor-wise, but not amazing enough for me to want to come back, as there are definitely other good chicken sandwiches out there. The sandwich bun being inspired by a bao bun didn't add much, tbh. The presentation of the desserts was cool but both were overly sweet for us. Overall the food was decent but the noodles definitely fell flat, and there wasn't anything I'd crave or be dying to come back for.

Still a cool place to go but service has definitely declined. Ordered a couple of drinks and…read moretruffle fries. Took a look time to get our drinks and the fries. Even though it didn't seem busy. When the fries were brought out the waitress didn't bring napkins or utensils. The utensils I could care less for but eating finger food without having a napkin isn't what I like to do. She left before I realized we didn't have utensils. It was about 5 minutes before another waiter at another table came close enough for me to ask for utensils. The ambiance is always great here. It can be packed and you can still have a conversation with someone. The decor is cigar room classy. Still one of my favorite spots.

Our most recent trip was a few weeks ago. They were great to let us get orders in with minutes left before 5. My sister pre-ordered a cocktail that would be served after 5 and they honored the HH price discount but our refill drinks were full price, so plan ahead! Our total with drinks (6), mussels and fries, flatbread, asparagus salad, tuna tartare was $180 for the 3 of us. Felt pricey, but I guess it's not surprising considering where we were. Drinks were delicious! Service was great overall, no hovering but attentive enough to not feel forgotten.

I arrived at 8:45 and got inside with the first wave at 10:30. The owners even came to say hello to eveyone waiting in line, so I met Natalie and her husband. I really liked that the release was super organized. Inside is a typical bar and everyone is getting their glass of the younger. I ordered the hummus platter and wings. Both tasted delicious. (Trust me, I've been to places where the hummus platter didn't look appetizing but that's another story). I got 8 wings half sweet chili and half buffalo. It came with blue cheese and veggie sticks. Delish! Portions of the food was good. Staff were helpful and friendly. I bought my T shirt from the gift shop and got a few free coasters too. The experience of getting the younger and meeting new people in line really gave me a sense of Santa Rosa hospitality!
