    Menu for the new release party
    Rew C.

    I met my friends here for the release party and they didn't charge us to enjoy their wines, which is one thing I love about Wine people! So we got there and went in and spoke to the guy at the acceptance table. Oh and Coyote Winery is around the corner in the back back part of the parking lot which was tricky to find. But then we got settled on a table and went to the bar to get our tastes of wine and we started with the Sauvignon Blanc. And I have to get back to this as I have to find dinner tonight

    Bee Gees tribute band

    We went to the You Should Be Dancing - A Tribute to the Bee Gees concert at Coyote Sonoma. We have been there several times and LOVE the place. It has a large dance floor but not large enough for the really popular bands as it fills up quite fast. If you don't get there early, you will be sitting outside in the covered and heated, (during the winter) tent area that is large. The venue is great, we have never had a problem with parking. I would have given an enthusiastic 5-star review if it had more food options and better seating. I am not sure how you would do that unless you make another large opening between the outdoor seating and the indoor music and dance floor and codes might prevent that. We were there for Pride and Joy on New Year's Eve as well and had a great time. We will certainly be back!

    Very delicious fried chicken sandwich and animal fries from the food truck.

    Came for the Fleetwood Mac cover band (amazing, so good). Super friendly crowd, seemed mostly local, fantastic way to spend the evening of our wine tasting getaway. We had beer and maybe the best, definitely the largest fried chicken sandwich we've ever had from the food truck outside (sorry I don't remember the name). Definitely go 2 hours early when then doors open if you want to get a seat - but the seats don't have a view of the band. Great fun, highly recommend, so glad this venue seems to be doing well!

    First off got to say it's a nice place. Me and the wife walked in and they lady said sit anywhere. The wife and I sat down and about 5 mins later our waiter come over and took our drink order. We ordered 2 beers about 5 mins later he come back said they had to switch the keg. Ok so 10 mins later comes back and says they don't have it anymore need to pick another beer. So we do and I finally get our beer 15 minutes later. Just want to point out they were not busy at all. So we ordered our food the wife wanted so fires she saw on there website. The pic on the website doesn't match the fires are shoestring fries. There were good we got uncle Timmy's spicy fries. Me and the wife split the Ruben. The food was good service was not so much. We watched our food sit in the window for 5 mins before here brought it over to us. I know with everything going on it's hard to get people. I just hope this place gets better it has a lot of potential! Cheers

    Coyote Sonoma is a great venue for and has a nice selection of live music, especially the cover bands that sing the hits. They have a small selection of food -- the food is good and the prices are ok. They occasionally have food trucks during the shows as well. I've become a regular because of these shows and i don't even drink wine.

    They are open for inside dinning now. There is a large screen on the patio where they show sports games as well as TV's inside too. The bar is a fun sport to sit. Lots of great beers on tap; I love the Beatification from Russian River and everything they have from Cooperage and Henhouse. I'm making my way through the menu when I come with my friends- favorites now are the steak- med-rare, the pork tenderloin, wedge salad, sausage plate, and the chicken wings. Reservations are not required for bar seating but it does fill up especially now because there is limited seating. Reservations are recommended for dining. Highly recommend.

    There have been moments in my culinary adventures where a certain restaurant is burned in the very deepest recesses of my mind. Whether for good or for bad, there are certain restaurants that I always will remember. Without a shadow of a doubt Coyote Sonoma has earned a place in that famous, nay infamous list. This review will explain the very breadth and depth of the sheer disaster that was a "dining" experience when I visited last night. As my esteemed fellow Elite Yelpers will attest, and in written review no less, this restaurant has hit a level so low the very end of the Marianas Trench simply does not suffice. And so I begin. Make no mistakes about it, I seldom rate an establishment a one star. I just find it quite difficult considering the time and effort that is expended by the individuals that work to make a dining experience what it is. But once in a while a place just ticks all the mark that give them the Olympic medal of dining disasters. Let's begin with the sheer wait time. After a relatively uneventful beginning of the service, where we were greeted warmly, sat at our table, wine glasses brought out, and wine poured, the next hour and 30 minutes were nothing but crickets resonating from the kitchen. My party of four waited, and waited, and waited until the very paint on the wall peeled from the sheer time that elapsed. Dramatic, I know, but nevertheless powerful. Two of my fellow diners ordered the restaurant week special, the other ordered a Rueben sandwich, and I ordered a vegetarian Panini with a roasted cauliflower hummus to go with it. 45 minutes passed from the time we placed our order to my two friends getting their first course from the special menu. The salad that was supposed to start the meal magically turned into butternut squash soup. I'm guessing the magic of Cinderella was present that evening. Curious though how the other table right next to us actually received their salad. This is where the anger had slowly built up. Alas another 30 minutes transpired, and still no sign of our food. The same response from the waitress was always "Your food is coming out. Thank you for your patience." Well that patience ran out. The reason I was excited to come to this restaurant in the first place was because I was thrilled to try the food that the new chef at the helm would put out. Instead I got nothing but excuses, upon excuses regarding how busy they were. So let me get this straight, a trained chef is not able to adequately execute dinner service for a restaurant that is not even remotely at the capacity. As Gordon Ramsay said "Where is the lamb sauce?" But in this instance let's start with the very basic-- Where is the actual food? The best kicker for the evening, after I went to speak with the manager about closing our bill because we simply found this experience horrendous, was complimentary soups and a warm gesture of offering me 20% off a bottle that I had brought from another Wilson family winery. To recap, the one star is simple: 1 hour 30 minutes wait for food that never materialized save for a cold soup that was supposed to be a salad, table next to us that got the salad and entree that they had ordered with no issue, and excuses upon excuses about the situation that surrounded the evening. A message to Wilson Artisan Wineries, this place doesn't deserve to be in your portfolio.

    I'm really diggin' this new addition to Healdsburg! Coyote Sonoma is the latest project from the Wilson family of Wilson Artisan Wines. It's a spacious wine bar and taproom that's situated in Healdsburg's Mill District. It was a bit hard to find as it's tucked away in a small plaza on a roundabout. If you're familiar with where the Parish Café is located, it's in the same plaza right next to the big antique shop. I came here with some friends to attend the 2019 Wine and Chili Taste-off and we had really fun time! Both the interior and exterior of the building are reminiscent of a warehouse. It's very open and spacious and has that homey rustic feel to it. During the event, they had a few tables setup in the corner with wine tasting stations. There's a long bar top with several high chairs and lots of round tables in the main dining area. They have live performances here a few times a week. We missed the live performance after the taste-off, but I would love to come back to check out some live music. They currently have 11 beers on tap with a few ciders and wines on tap as well. Most of the beer and all of the wine that they serve are all local. Speaking of wine; if you're a fan of Wilson Artisan Wines and their wineries, you will go goo goo gah gah over their wine list! They have tons of wine available from all 10 of their famous wineries! You can purchase wine by the glass or bottle. I believe that they also have food available for purchase, but not sure what kind of food since we only ate the chili for the pairing. It was very lively during the event and seems like it would be a great local hangout spot. Parking is easy and ample. I'm excited to see what else is in store at Coyote Sonoma and look forward to more visits in the future.

    One stars are tough for me to dish out honestly, but last night was a deserving of one. A few friends and I had 6:30 reservations, which we were seated slightly early, leaving us all excited for a wonderful dinner (During Sonoma County Restaurant Week). No corkage if you bring a Wilson owned winery bottle with you, which is a nice touch. The menu is pretty straight forward, but very much geared towards meat eaters versus vegetarians and or vegans. If you are in the latter category, you have a choice of a few apps, a panini, or salad, which one guest was not too thrilled with. Our overall order was taken fairly quickly and our host was very nice and helpful when it came to suggestions. So where did it fall apart? Let's start with the order. Two sandwiches with cauliflower and hummus. Our other friends ordered the Sonoma County Restaurant Week special, which was a chicory salad first course, a pork dish on the second course, and to finish bread pudding. 45 minutes in, we started to wonder where their first course was, so we asked politely, which we got a response of "It's coming right out". Sure enough it came out, but they received what they thought was a butternut squash soup. Confused, so we asked, which we were informed they were having issues and were likely short on the salad. I guess it would of been nice to let us know ahead of time, oh well not a huge issue. Two gentleman came in about 25 minutes after us and ordered the same thing next to us (The three course that is). Right after we got our soup, they were given the two salads....At this point things only got worse. We are now at an hour and 15 minutes, two of us starving, the other staring at their empty soup dish. The table again next to us got their second course of pork. We figured there was an issue in the back as many other tables did not look thrilled. We flagged our waitress and were told "It's coming right out". We politely waited another 20 minutes, sipping on a bottle of wine that had been opened over an hour ago. At this point we were ready to leave, seeing our frustration, our waitress again mentioned "It's coming right out, thank you for your patience". We had no patience at this point since the table next to us was finishing their meal and we had no second course or mains for the other two at the table anywhere to be seen. We confronted the server and politely asked for them to cancel the food as we were willing to just pay for the soup and leave. The manager had now intervened, who was very kind, apologizing for everything, but I am not sure she was really aware of the situation as she comped our soups, but wanted us to pay for the bottle of wine...that we brought to the restaurant (20% off offered). I don't blame her, but it makes me wonder what information our host provided her before the interaction. They tried to make it right by telling us they could have it ready in five minutes in to go boxes, but what good is that if we have no place to eat it. The final answer as to why our food never arrived is one of the three chefs quit that morning and short staffed due to it. I understand, but their were no more than 30 or so guests and others who were arriving after were getting their food. So to me that shows an issue both front and in the back of the house to be honest. This review is not meant to barrage this establishment and tell everyone how terrible it is, but more so for the owner and or manager to use as constructive criticism to improve their methods of operation. I sadly will not be back though since I am one of several reviewers who have experienced the same issue.

We were told the lunch dishes are the same but bigger portions. My favorite dishes from the tasting was the Brick Cooked Chicken and the Chocolate Lamington Dessert. My favorite wine was not one that paired with those two, but it was called Elate Grange Cuvée which was a red blend. I was considering the wine membership but what attracted me the most was not the wine but the food + wine pairing experience.

We both loved the crispy skin on the trout. Finally we both went with the Mille feuille for dessert and it was a wonder, light crispy pastry with lemony custard and cream. Overall good experience, we will likely return.

The baby kale salad was also nice with shaved fennel and manchego. The other three dishes were both off and a bit weird. The cauliflower came with bacon, which was good, and sweet dates; the dates were an odd addition and they stuck to your teeth. The calamari, was prepared well - it wasn't chewy - but it just had an off flavor, or at least one I haven't experienced before. Same too for the octopus. This was a much larger portion than typical - two tentacles, plus potatoes and olives. The octopus though was rather mealy. Small Spanish red wine list; only four. Tried two and neither were our favorites. The 1970s-80s classic rock soundtrack was an odd choice for background music.
