Loved it! Was pleasantly surprised to find something that wasn't a deli close to Arnold drive. We loved how many veg options they had, will definitely be coming back! The service was great and quick, though there weren't many people there. Seemed family friendly, lots of kids around. read more

We had high hopes for this place since it was mentioned as one of the few kid friendly spots in the area. We came on a Saturday for lunch - plenty of seats and a playground (great!) Unfortunately the service was extremely lacking. We got our own high chair, glasses for water, and even had to fetch the waiter ourselves. We ordered a starter, a side, a main and a kids meal. The starter and side took ~30min to arrive. I went to ask about the rest of our meal and they blamed a change in system on the delay. What it doesn't explain though is why other tables got their food and finished their meals, even though they arrived after we ordered, while we were still waiting for our food. It also doesn't explain why our burger was soggy and fries were lukewarm. Anyway, I spoke with the manager. They took off the burger because 50min of our time is worth only $25 I guess. 1 star for the kids playground. read more

Absolutely lovely spot to stop for lunch between vineyards-- and they even have their own tastings from a local winery as well! We just came for food (and a little beer between tastings) and for the dog-friendly atmosphere. The manager and our server were both wonderful, and everything we ate was delicious! I personally would've loved the Brussels a bit on the crispier side, and maybe a little heavier on the goat cheese, but still tasty and we cleaned the plate thoroughly. Boyfriend had the fried chicken sandwich, it was yummy and the fries were cooked well, but the true star of the show was my seasonal pasta, with cream sauce, kale, and pomegranate seeds! So creative and absolutely delicious. Also loved that they had a good beer selection in case you need a quick grape-break, as well as a full kids' *and* dog menu. We would definitely come back! read more

This is a quaint place with outdoor seating. A fun different experience. They offer a wine flight to try the wine, it would be nice to be able to pick which wines as they serve wine from their partner winery which makes quite a variety of types of wine. The food is reminiscent of Greek flavors. Nice table service, and if you have kids they have a play structure they would enjoy. read more

Read the great review so decided to try this place on a Saturday during our trip to Sonoma. The outdoor seating was beautiful and nicely decorated. The service was slow but the food was a disappointment. We ordered the baby back ribs, the meat was tough but the fries were great, so as the coleslaw. The Chicken wings were good but the vegetables pasta was soggy and tasteless. Don't think we will be back. read more

We started with the fried chicken bites that came with whipped ricotta and a sweet chili jam. The mix of spicy and creamy flavors on the crispy chicken was totally amazing. read more

Really disappointed- this place has really gone done hill. Our last time here was over a year ago and the food was fantastic. Really unique dishes and flavors. I don't know what's happening but my husband and I felt like we ate a meal that we could have had at any random diner or cafe. We had the fried asparagus, steak sandwich, and the super bloom bowl with chicken. The fried asparagus was bland with a ton of breading. The salad was meh with again not much flavor or spices. The steak sandwich had barely any meat in it and didn't taste like it had any chimmchuri sauce that it said it came with. Really sad because it has great ambiance and potential. I asked if they had changed chefs and was told that they did not. Wondering why things have changed so much? read more

I love everything about Bloom Carneros. 1 . Food is amazing! I love a place that takes salads seriously with the proportions and pairings well thought out and dressed to perfection! See the beet salad image which I highly recommend! The squash pasta dish was so creamy and noodles were perfect for holding the sauce - loved it! 2. Wonderful for dogs!! They had a dog menu and I got Izzy the beef patty which she loved and really nice rice and carrots(which she ignored ugh she doesn't eat veggies ) pic below. The place is interesting enough for her to do some investigating and then sleeping in the sun. 3. Connected to Kivelstadt winery which has such interesting wines including two chilled reds which are so good! read more

We chose Bloom for its family friendly reputation and the promise of decent food while our kids played. The kids area is rough - the structure is wobbly and not very safe. It's appropriate for kids 6+. We were disappointed the steak sandwich took so long to be served because our kids were long done with their meals by the time the adult food arrived. What felt most offputting is the place was EMPTY save for one other family that was being comped and the owner had a long conversation with that party. We didn't experience the same hospitality and that felt strange given we were literally the only other people there. Come here to drink and eat fries. read more

Outdoor only restaurant. The space is perfect to enjoy the nice weather while your kid happily plays in the small play structure, running back and forth between bites of food. It's great that you can keep an eye on your kid while peacefully eating some good food. Menu changes seasonally, and ingredients seem to be consistently fresh. Food tends to be tasty. I particularly enjoyed the shoestring fries ($9) which come with either lemon or spicy aioli, and halibut aguachile ($24.5) which was very well-balanced and fresh. The pea shoots salad with burrata tends to be overly lemony or over-dressed, but for me, burrata is always good anywhere. Their kids menu ($12) is very appropriate, with choices from a hot dog and fries to a kid-friendly charcuterie with salami, apples, crackers and cheese. I'm not a drinker, but they have plenty of wine options as well. Truly a great place for families. On race weekends, it's my regular Sunday afternoon spot before picking up the hubby from the nearby raceway and heading back to SF. Hubby likes the cubano sandwich which comes with a side salad ($19.5), so I usually take that to go for him. Plenty of umbrellas and trees for shade. Some fire pits. Half cement patio, half wood chips (so you can plan your footwear accordingly). Private free parking lot is gravel/loose rocks. The only downsides: --The bees love this place! Though they do have some bee bags to try to minimize them flocking around you and your food (just try not to order too much sweet stuff!). --Service is super casual and can be relatively slow at times. Though during my most recent visit, service was on point! Either way, I think this lends to the relaxing atmosphere, so it's perfect for when you just want to sit, relax, or chat with friends. Overall, good food with a play area for kids, and fully situated outdoors for dogs. read more

Yesterday was my first time at Bloom Carneros. It's a lovely outdoor restaurant and tasting room, with heaters and covers for this colder time of year. It was nice to have an option so close to the vineyards without having to go downtown, and the prices were pretty reasonable for the area. My friend and I shared the fries, brussel sprouts, soup, and sweet potato tacos. It was more than enough food for two people, and everything was yummy! I definitely plan on returning. read more

My sister ordered the crispy pumpkin tacos. When they arrived they were placed on a sauce, then the tacos and then something else wet on top. They were soggy and didn't have a crisp area at all. She didn't eat them. We mentioned it to the waiter and he said he was surprised to see it. My salad was messy and looked unprofessional. As a former server I would have instantly made it right without anyone having to ask. I would have either asked the kitchen to remake them or take them off of the check. We got neither. I have tried this restaurant several times and have not had a pleasant experience. read more

Had brunch here on our way to Sonoma for the day/night. The service was super friendly and the outside dining is spacious and a great place to be on a sunny day. We ordered the breakfast sandwich and halibut taco special, as well as ginger cake for dessert. The food was all delicious; the bread on the sandwich was amazing and the house made tortillas held up very well. The portions were also generous. It would've been nice to be able to taste wines from the neighboring winery during our dining experience however, they serve the wines by the glass at the restaurant so we were still able to try a couple and ended up buying a bottle of pinot noir. read more

Bloom Carneros has excellent service and a relaxing dining experience. I loved the outdoor patio. The orange accents provided a really lovely fall ambiance on a beautiful sunny September day. Our server was really attentive and also gave recommendations, which I appreciated. The burger was delicious and perfectly cooked. I also tried the pork belly sliders. The cuts of pork belly were similar to "la rou" (Chinese bacon/cured pork belly) but thicker. Both the burger and the sliders had rich meat flavors with a nice tangy pickled vegetable contrast. The sliders had an additional spice--nothing hot though. The dessert was okay. The s'more was a bit too rich and sweet, which made it difficult to eat. The panna cotta was mid. The textures were a bit too experimental for me. The panna cotta itself was very bland, and the ice clusters on top with the cake crumbles looked a mess and didn't pair well texturally. read more

Bloom provides a spacious setting with lots of shade outdoors. The place is dog friendly and kid friendly. They have a play structure to occupy kids. The restaurant is also attached to a winery. We weren't too hungry, and wanted something light to eat. I had the halibut aguachile. The blood orange in this dish was refreshing. The Burrata my bf had was also good. read more

I went to this place for lunch to meet up with some family who were in town. My cousin has a toddler and I have a preschooler. This place is perfect for children!

Visited for an early dinner reservation on a Saturday after wine tasting in Sonoma with 3 adults, 2 teens, and our dog. Excellent food and excellent service in a beautiful relaxing outdoor space. Very dog and family friendly. Small menu but great options locally sourced for all dietary preferences. The chicken bites and chicken sandwich were our favorite! read more

The sweet potato tacos would have been OK had the cook NOT put the soggy veggies on top...this spoiled what was to have been crisp tacos. The food was luke warm when delivered. We mentioned this to the waiter and he said "I'll tell the chef". He got the tip he deserved. read more

Loooooove this place! Great for food allergies (the chef will work with you if you inform your server). The food is high quality, the service is delightful and the ambiance (the restaurant part) is the perfect pairing. When you first pull up though, the outside is really..... unpleasant. It's dirty and messy, and really reminded me of Texas Chain Saw Massacre. But then you walk through the little hallway to the other side, and you're in paradise. Definitely a summer oasis. It's also nice because it's not apart of the typical touristy part of the downtown Sonoma square. It's deep into the vineyards of Sonoma. And there is a lovely vineyard not 30' from the parking lot, which I think will delight your tourist friends. read more

Went with a group of 15 people including 4 kids (and also a dog!) and we had a wonderful time. We called ahead and while they had a lot going on that day, they were able to squeeze us in. It's a beautiful space outside and the kids were able to be entertained long enough on the jungle gym for us to enjoy the food, which was also delicious. Great all around! read more

Not family friendly at all and a rude hostess. We were a group of 6 adults with mostly babies, and she refused to seat us because it was "too large of a party" for the kitchen. We said we'd limit our ordering since none of the kids were eating. Half of the place was empty and there were tables available. But still she refused. But then proceeded to seat 3 parties totaling 8 people after us, so clearly the kitchen could handle 8 more people ordering. Will not try coming here again. read more

Love this place! Delicious food, great wines from Kivelstadt, and a laid back backyard setting with a playground for kids. Definitely recommend reservations as we stopped in for lunch in the off-season and it was fully booked but they were able to squeeze us in, and it's not hard to book last-minute. I had also looked into the venue for an event and they were very responsive and reasonably priced. Some of my favorites are: the burger + 1950 Charbono; pork belly with hen of the woods mushrooms and the halibut ceviche. read more

My friends and I came here for Brunch and this was highly recommended by one of them. It is an outdoor dining experience, kid-friendly and also dog-friendly. We loved the casual and cozy atmosphere and the service from the time we came until the time we left - we are not locals and we had to Uber and Lyft our way around, and their staff was kind enough to invite us back in and to stay inside the space while waiting for our ride (since it was taking us a while to get a ride and for them to come). The food did not disappoint, we got the Halibut Aguachile that came with chips, Halibut Tacos, Burgers and Fries, Squash Blossom, and other chef's specialties they had for the day. The food did not disappoint, each bite was a unique symphony of flavor combinations. They had a good selection of wine and other refreshing drinks. This is definitely a place that I bookmarked and will also come here. read more

"But one dish, the Peach & Mozzarella Sandwich, was one of the best things I've eaten all year." For lunch today, I tried Bloom in Carneros for the first time. I was completely blown away. It was the rare (almost never) experience of having nothing critical to say about the food. I'll say it again, I was blown away. Every single dish and component was perfectly executed -- from the amount of dressing on the salads, to the consistent cut of the chives, to the perfect level of GBD of the fries. And the salad greens on all of the dishes and sandwiches were the freshest I've ever seen. Not one single leaf wasn't crunchy, delicious, and refreshing. The two of the three dishes I tried were amazing (the burger was good, too, but at the end of the day, it was a well-executed burger cooked to a perfect med rare). But one dish, the Peach & Mozzarella Sandwich, was one of the best things I've eaten all year. It was reminiscent of a BLT, but with slices of peaches instead of tomato, and a lighter texture because of the mozzarella. Amazing!! I recommend that you make a trip just to have this sandwich before the peach season is over! The other amazing dish was the Fried Chicken Bites sitting on whipped ricotta and topped with a little bit of sriracha. Juicy pieces of chicken breast perfectly cooked, creamy whipped ricotta, and the warm sting of sriracha. My mouth hole is all wet just writing about it. read more

Huge, dog friendly, kid friendly outdoor space for wine tasting with full menu restaurant. I was pleasantly impressed by the food quality and service. Casual atmosphere, reservations recommended as it was quite full when we arrived. Seemed to have a mix of local regulars plus the usual tourists. Large offer of vegetarian options of local ingredients as well as meat/seafood options. Favorite item was actually the chicken burger, which was well balanced with a generous serving of tangy cole slaw. Large parking space outside makes it easy. read more

Grabbed lunch here mid-afternoon after wine-tasting nearby; nearly all the tables were available and we were seated immediately. Two of us shared the brussel sprout caesar ($18), the fried chicken bites ($14), and a burrata appetizer ($19). Really nice weather made the patio seating quite comfortable. Service was very friendly and we did not wait long for our food. There was good background music that did not interfere with conversation. The food was fine, the portions all on the small side. The brussel sprout caesar was okay, the flour-dredged fried chicken bites were fine, and the burrata was very generously sized however arrived with only four slender pieces of focaccia. Our server delivered additional bread upon request (4 more small pieces) so we could finish the cheese, and we noticed an additional $5 was tacked onto our bill for this (small disappointment). All in all the meal was pleasant. Be advised this restaurant pays its workers a living wage and provides healthcare and so there is a surcharge added to the bill for this reason. read more

Bloom Carneros - Fried chicken bites. They arrived piping hot. - New American Near Me - Sonoma, California

Was excited to try this place because of the reviews and photos management had posted of the food. We ordered the fish tacos, vegetable pasta, halibut appetizer, and ribs. Our group was a party of 6 adults and unfortunately every single item we ordered was disgusting. Very bland, no flavor and extremely overpriced for what we received. The food was so terrible, we ended up not finishing the dishes and going to a different restaurant. On the positive side, the restaurant ambiance is beautiful and the staff were very nice and accommodating. Would maybe come back for drinks, but definitely not for food. read more

First time in. Good, not great. 27$ for the halibut taco special- 2 bland tacos with unseasoned halibut, cabbage, peach salsa, and avocado spread. Fries were great. Roasted carrots were great. Chicken bites were chewy and tasted like flour. Good to know for reservations: The patio is seats under a covered patio near the outdoor bar and the garden is outdoor in plastic chairs on wood chips. Service is very slow. LOTS of tourists. Beer and wine only- no liquor. read more

The food was excellent, but unfortunately my wife could only finish half of her meal because the bees wanted their share in everything and the little fans provided by the staff had no effect on their activity. My wife ultimately receive a bee sting. Staff reaction was 'oh, we're sorry, but the bees come from another property in the area.' My response to them was, 'we won't be back. Unless you solve the problem. Sorry, it seemed like a nice place until the food arrived. read more
