Not inviting so we sat at a high boy in the darkened bar, which was much nicer. I'm sure it's beautiful to sit on the balcony in the summer on warm nights. We chatted with the German owner who was doubling as a bartender, who was very nice. We loved the German influences in the bar, as we had just been to Oktoberfest in Munich. The owner's daughter Sarah runs the kitchen. My husband had a pork tenderloin schnitzel "Vienna style" ($20) and I had a jaegerschnizel with mushroom gravy ($20) and both were excellent. We split the potato pancakes (two with sour cream and apple sauce, $12) which were served crispy but tasty. They had a nice German beer and wine list. We finished with a delicious apple strudel to complete a lovely meal. I recommend this restaurant for tasty dinners in a unique venue.

The staff was very friendly and helpful and while we knew there would be a breakfast, we had no idea it would be so extensive and wonderful. Beautifully positioned along the Russian river with views of the beach and the bridge this place harkens back to the hay day years of the Russian River and a whole history worth examining. I will look forward to staying here again in the future!

They have a happy hour, evening s'mores to roast over the fire pits. A beautiful pool even with floats to use and the hot tub of course. Nice lobby area to hang out in as well and breakfast is included which was very good. Just keep an eye out on your bill when you check out to make sure there are no mistakes in any charges. Very nice rooms and comfortable beds. Bring your own pillow if you can, as the ones they have are way to soft and flat. It's like not even having a pillow. All in all, a very nice getaway. Oh and your surrounded by amazing Redwoods!

We were very excited to each have our own rooms with attached bathrooms, and felt like QUEENS... I personally was in Room #6 upstairs with a cute little balcony. The bed was so luxurious and ridiculously comfortable that it made it really hard to get out of bed and face the day (side note: they are clearly brand-new beds and incorrectly spoken about on that negative review, so take that one with a grain of salt, SMH); Some had deep jetted tubs, some had ADA walk-in showers, something to accommodate everyone's needs! Each bathroom even had extra amenities you wouldn't expect like make-up remover and cotton balls - such a nice touch! One thing I was worried about was the traffic noise at night, but it was not an issue at all, which just shows that the insulation renovations that were completed really were impeccable and every last comfort was thought of for their guests. Access to the kitchen and laundry facilities was also a huge plus as well for last minute weather needs! I highly recommend this gem in Sonoma County when you book your next wine country adventure! =)

This place is, by far, the most uncomfortable stay at any place, ever. History be damned. We were in a room RIGHT next to a main road that provided road and car noise all night long. It was LOUD. For myself, I experienced the worst two nights of 'sleep' that I can remember because of the noise and a mattress that should have been discarded YEARS ago. The gas fireplace didn't work. Zero instructions on how to get it lit. YouTubed how to get it lit, still didn't work. The condiment on this shit sandwich of a stay was the veranda outside our room having a security camera pointed directly toward the outside furniture where you'd sit. Zero chance of having ANY privacy. Its creepy and total bullshit. We can tell the place is owned by people that could not care less about the comfort of the guests, you're just income for them. Who puts cameras in private areas? We couldn't have disliked the place any more than we did. The place is a joke. It sure made a rough stay in Santa Rosa.

My favorite part is that you can grab a glass and walk around the museum and see all of the local artwork along the walls and throughout the building.

I definitely recommend!

Equality Vines is such a gem! Not only were the wines absolutely delicious (I genuinely loved every…read moresingle one I tried), but the mission behind this place makes it even more special. I was so moved to learn that it's owned by Jim Obergefell, the plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court marriage equality case. I also love that proceeds from the wines go to support causes that uplift women, the LGBTQ+ community, and other social justice initiatives. It felt so good to know that each sip was also supporting meaningful change. Each wine has a unique name like the "19th Amendment" which is so cool. The space was filled with LGBTQ+ artwork and it is even connected to a gallery down the hall. So you can grab your glass of wine and check out art Nextdoor. Lastly, the service was amazing. This place definitely has a mom and pop vibe and they make you feel super welcomed. We will definitely be back!

Speakeasy gem hidden in Boho Manor hotel resort!…read more Pair it with live, swanky jazz happening on Saturday nights and cocktails, and you'll have yourself a snazzy time! Perks about this venue, is to have dinner at the hotel restaurant that opens at 5pm, if you haven't eaten yet, and then head to the 1st jazz session at 630pm or 2nd jazz session that starts at 9pm. The Gatsby, Gin Hemingway, Old Fashioned Peanut Butter (I know odd, but so good surprisingly!) and Lavendar Lily are my favorite cocktails! One can't go wrong with any of their cocktails on the menu. Friendly staff! Wonderful riverfront view and fire pit lounge right outside of the speakeasy space! This speakeasy is a part of the Boho Manor resort and they have Art Deco newly remodeled rooms, dock with water activities and spa! One stop shop here!

It gets to be messy when you're trying to crack them open and the cioppino sauce gets flying everywhere, thank goodness they give you bibs. First you get garlic bread. It's a bit chewy, but it seems to vary by batch (the first batch was probably sitting out for a while, but the second batch was hot and softer). The second is salad, which is brought out in surprisingly small amounts. The third is the crap - and there are two types. One is cold and in vinegar, the second is the cioppino. The cioppino is great! I'd never had it before and was pleasantly surprised. They don't provide drinks besides water so best bring your own, but wine or alcohol have a $2 corkage fee. The people that bring the food out to your table are volunteers so tips are encouraged. A lot of the people know each other and come in large groups. My husband and I were the only party of 2 I think. Also, if you come, don't forget to check in to the person with the clipboard, while you're waiting outside. That way, you know which table you are assigned to and can sit down right away.
