We've been to B & B several times. The service is always excellent and the fried chicken thigh sandwich is delicious.

Absolutely perfect! Topher and all the staff were 100%. Food was incredible. The soy butter on the Black Cod was so good that we got a takeout container for it. Excellent! read more

I did not know what to expect from but WOW! I had such an amazing experience here. Came for a light lunch and thankfully it wasn't too busy yet. We were seated inside where we can see the kitchen and the food being made (there is also the option to sit outside). Our server Selvin was great. I asked for recommendations and he suggested the wontons which did not disappoint! He was very attentive and appreciated that he gave us time to look over the menu. The dishes we ordered were amazingly tasty! The wontons were perfectly golden brown on the outside and shrimp filling was very creamy. The fries, oh my! They were my favorite with dipping sauce. The steak was cooked to our liking. The mushroom and Chinese broccoli paired well with the sauce. The flavor of the sauce reminded me of something similar to a type of Thai sauce where it is sweet and spicy. Definitely will have to come back and try their other dishes. read more

I absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious and made to order, but the drinks were a real highlight. They were handcrafted, creative, and beautifully presented. I can't say enough good things about them! It's a lovely sit-down restaurant with an outdoor patio. It can get busy, so I'd recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Awesome start to the weekend Hubby and I slid into the last 2 open spots at the end of the bar to enjoy Happy Hour. Friendly attentive bar staff serving up delicious drink to accompany the yummy food. Our cups were never empty and our bellies were full. You can't go wrong with the guac but the miso twist is surprising and soo good. The chicken wings were crispy juicy perfection. Hubby ordered the mushroom taco that was light juicy and flavorful.. Busy Friday night but never felt rushed just fun watching the bartenders mixing up cocktails and enjoying lively conversations read more

Love the food - every time I visit Santa Rosa I make an effort to come here. Ordered the bone marrow, Dino short rib and matzah ball soup. Bone marrow portion was great however the marrow came out cold and I wish there was something more to cut the fat - more pickled slaw or crackers maybe? Dino short rib was amazing. Huge! Juicy! Flavor bomb galore. Bring your appetite, this thing is called dino short rib for a reason. Can def taste the smoky taste and it wasn't dry at all. I think the rib is smoked first and then sous-vide afterwards. Service was solid. Friendly staff and the hostess was able to seat us inside after we realized sitting outside was too cold for us. On an earlier warm evening, I'd opt to sit on the deck -- great dining experience if weather behaves and it's not too chilly/windy. Btw, always order dessert. The sundae was superb. read more

There is a good reason Bird and The Bottle is highly rated. The space is well curated and has a beautiful patio to enjoy those cool Santa Rosa evenings. I sat at the bar where there were only 3 others sitting there. It was a Sunday evening and there were still plenty of available tables around 7pm, I got a non alcoholic drink, Garnot Story. It was refreshing. I wasn't very hungry but there were so many opts that had a unique twist so, after speaking with the bartenders I decided on the Smokey Poke and the Chicken wings. The poke was super fresh, light, and had nuts which gave it another dynamic level of flavor and crunch. The chicken wings are full bone in wings including the drum stick part intact. The crispy skin was cooked to perfection and the flavor was like nothing I have tasted before. The goat cheese ranch took the dish to the next level. read more

I might just be me, but I love a fusion spot! This was such a fun spot that we swung into on our way to Mendocino county. Love the indoor and outdoor seating options. We got to sit at the chef's table which provided the best views of exporting and some cooking too. All the staff here seem to love their job and everyone is smiling! I love that! The food was pretty great too. The miso guacamole was handmade from fresh avocados right in front of us. I really enjoyed the fried salt and pepper octopus too. Great sauce accompaniment. The two sandwiches we ordered were very interestingly on grilled bao buns which actually held together pretty well. I personally didn't love the pickled veggies but my husband enjoyed them. The pastrami sandwich was great and paired so well with kimchi. His duck sandwich was heavily doused in hoisin but still cooked really well. read more

Well worth it happy hour! Only $39 + tip for 3 nice appetizers and two glass of local Pinot. I did not take a pic of the edemame, but those were very tasty. 4 stars (if i Could it works be 4.5) for nice ambiance, friendly bar staff, velvety juicy pinot, all tasty appetizers. Only minor thing... edamame, while quite nice was a bit on the too hot side with skins having that over done dark green over heated taste / look. And most items were a hair on the salty side. But after eating a while, i got used to it and it was overall delicious. Only mentioned because i love this local chain of restaurants and only want them to continue to succeed! read more

Good ambience, attentive servers, nice tasting appetisers, chilled drinks, lots of onsite parking for B&B customers, can be very busy hence loud and vibrant. *Vegetarians/Vegans may have to be choosy as the fryers being used by B&B are "shared fryers for all foods being prepared" (something shared on their own by our server). read more

Super cute and quirky restaurant in an old home. This was my first time here, as most of the menu tends to be spicy and I really don't care for spicy foods. I started with the watermelon and tomato salad, then the crispy shitake mushrooms, then the chicken wings which were on the happy hour menu. Everything was fresh and a lot of flavor. My waiter, Dominic, was very friendly and helpful. read more

Wow, this is Asian fusion done right! I wish I had a place like this in my neighborhood. I just realized that they're part of the Stark Reality restaurant group, which has a big presence in Sonoma County. 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! read more

Came to Bird & the Bottle with no expectations during a layover for work... wow is an understatement. Korean fusion spot with a beautiful patio view to enjoy outside, plus a super vibey ambiance inside. Happy hour runs 3-6 with cocktails and small bites. Now for the main attractions: the garlic noodles and ALL the tacos... WOAH. Total flavor explosion in your mouth. The tuna poke was incredibly fresh with the perfect amount of crunch from the taro chips. Since I was working, I went with a refreshing mocktail and it did not disappoint. Dom was super nice and helpful, and the portions were great too -- definitely enough to take leftovers home. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by. You will not be disappointed! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Bird & The Bottle is easily one of my top 10 restaurants in the entire county. It's always near the top of my list when I want to "WOW" my out of town guests. Lets begin with their super awesome bar program. These guys know cocktails! Every drink mixed and poured is done with passion and love. You can tell they take great pride in mixing up super creative drinks. This alone would make Bird & The Bottle a must go. The food! YES! This is the star of the show. The focus here is on "shared" plates. But if you're really loving those ribs, just do the table a favor and order a second round. I love the ambiance. I could sit anywhere in the dining room or bar and be 100 percent satisfied. On warm evenings, the outside patio is very inviting. The service is always top notch, and the servers are well versed on their cocktails, wine list and menu offering. read more

We dropped by Bird & The Bottle after wine tasting in nearby Sebastopol. It had a nice outdoor, dog friendly patio area. Service was good. We ordered a little gem salad and fries to split along with a burger each. I thought while the burger was good, it was small and for $17 without fries included seemed priced a little high. The fries were the bomb! Came with an onion type of dipping sauce which was delicious. We really enjoyed the gem salad too. It had a great vinaigrette dressing with sliced green apple and pecans. The burger definitely helped to soak up our wine tasting. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Beautiful elegant restaurant. Unique and creative menu. Beautiful food, we love it! It's such a treat and the decor is gorgeous.

We had a lovely healthy lunch here - well, until Mom ordered dessert ;) But we first enjoyed a beautiful beet and cheese salad, some corn with cheese topping, and the edamame, so this vegetarian weight watchers gal was happy. And the chocolate dessert in a jar was gooey and scrumptious and well worth the extra calories, as Dame Prue from the British Baking Show would say. And the waiter was friendly. Happy to return! Only thing I could think of to improve it would be a wider selection of coffee drinks - a latte or a cappucino would be nice. read more

Everything was great! Didn't get a picture of the wings but they were good. I'm not used to the drum and flat being attached so if you aren't either, be aware.

Meh. They DON'T have a single, substantial vegan option. It's just the sides. The atmosphere was busy because we got the table in the middle of the room. My husband is not vegan and said that the ribs were okay. Oh the cheese curds were good but they never arrived on time. read more

Mediocre. Had reservations for my friends 25th birthday and got greeted by our first waiter slamming the bottle of water on the table causing my jeans to soak and my friends 600 suede boots to be stained and ruined. Our second waiter Shauna was very nice and attentive but the food was subpar to her service. The cook has a very heavy hand when it comes to salt and in my opinion a lot of things on the menu are doing too much. We ordered multiple dishes on the menu and the worst was by far the bone marrow which we were very excited to try, should've known what to expect when they served it with ranch seasoned saltines, bone marrow is already so fatty and rich it doesn't need much for it to shine, adding andouille and onion jam was doing way too much. The saving grace of the night was the edamame appetizer (which was still a tad over cooked), sticky rice, which was not sticky by the way (jasmine rice) and the steak that was cooked to a perfect medium rare. Overall disappointed in their service, food, and above all else, drinks. If this is Sonoma's best, (displayed in the front) I wouldn't want to try their worst. read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. What an incredible evening we had a Bird & The Bottle! This spot is very special and I'm so sad we live two hours away! Easily worth the drive to come back. Ambiance is romantic and cozy and really makes you feel like you're entering into a party already in progress - and we were there on a Tuesday evening! The style is small plates/tapas but we were so excited to find out that the portions were much more generous than other tapas places we'd been to. There's nothing more frustrating than dropping a lot of cash at a restaurant only to leave hungry. We started with two scrumptious cocktails - the Easy Rider and B&B. Both were unique and surprising- also the Easy Rider is basically two drinks in one! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious - there was not a dish that was less than spectacular so I'm just going to list them and encourage you to order whatever your heart fancies! Pimento Pull Aparts, Little Gem Salad, Smoked Chicken Wings, Duck Steamed Bun & Lamb Meatballs. Would order them all again but next time I'll probably want to try new things and be blown away yet again! Also- it is kid friendly - kids menus with coloring pages provided and the Mac and cheese was toddler approved. We will be back! read more
