I love that they are family friend and tend to our needs. Although some workers don't speak English, we try are best to communicate to get what we need. This time we got a banana split with pistachio, strawberry, and cheesecake. We topped it with coconut flakes and peanuts. Yum! Definitely a place to go with the kids!

OMFG! I remember…read moreDouble Rainbow from when I first moved to the Bay Area in my 20s and it instantly became my favorite ice cream. The flavor I remember is called Its A Goodie -- french vanilla with peanut butter and fudge chips. Yup, still awesome! Ok sweeter than my adult palette likes now but hella nostalgic. I paired it with coconut. Not a flavor I remember from back in the day but also an excellent taste. Again, adult me would like a little less sugar and perhaps the crunchiness of the coconut but I'm being picky. Mississippi mud pie seemed like something to try and I'm glad I asked for a taste. Coffee ice cream with a fudge swirl and crushed cookies. Both workers seemed happy and offered lots of suggestions. There's one table inside and a few more outside. They also have some tourist items like tshirts. When I got home, I researched Double Rainbow. There are a few stores left and you can order online (min 8 pints). Just ignore the saturated fat...

To start off, the line situation just isn't ideal, so it would be nice if they put up a rope to help cordon off the line from the payment area, but the service itself was very helpful and friendly and the ice cream barista was able to make the perfect shaved ice for me when I asked for light root beer syrup. My shaved ice was absolutely delicious and I loved their flavor options so I would definitely come back next time we're in Sonoma.

My Dear Hubby has a certified sweet tooth. After having ice cream nearby at Sweet Scoops, our…read morecompanions pointed out Harvey's Gourmet Donut Bar. It's located in a small courtyard off the main part of the Sonoma plaza. Once you walk in the door, the aroma of freshly cooking mini donuts makes your mouth water, even if you just had ice cream. DH succumbed to the temptation and ordered a small batch. They serve them in a paper cone, and add toppings of your choice. I sampled one and it was really good because of the freshness, and the additional flavors added on top. A fork and napkins are definitely needed. Our toddler granddaughter was excited to try the donuts, and had the fruity jam-smeared face to prove that she liked them very much! Deducting a star because the ordering process seemed confusing, or maybe I was just overwhelmed by the smell of the dough cooking. I dare you to save any - these are for eating fresh right after they're served to you!

Saturday afternoon and I was shocked they didn't have a line being that they are on the Sonoma plaza. Small little place but clean and friendly staff. Lots of toppings to choose from but the donuts were still doughy. Not sure if they are always like this they really needed to be cooked more. We ordered 4 different dozens and we all had the same complaint. If I'm in the area I may give them another try to see if it was a one time thing but I wouldn't go out of my way to make a stop.

I cannot rave about Linda and her staff enough Her food is exquisite from appetizers to dessert ... absolutely delicious with such attention to detail and presentation. Her stories between courses were engaging and endearing ... talking about the recipes she still uses who were her grandmother's and how she procures herbs and veggies from her own garden..... loved it all !! And the food THE BEST SHORT RIBS I have ever tasted. Every epic bite was so full of rich flavor All the food was THE BEST EVER AND the house was left immaculate, everything cleaned and left better than how she found it I cannot recommend Cuisine by Lela more highly. A dining experience you won't soon forget !!!

We live in Texas but always make a point to book Chef Lela anytime we are fortunate enough to make it to CA wine country. The food is always outstanding and we never leave one of her meals even remotely hungry. We love that she incorporates so many fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs from her own garden into our meals. It's also a huge perk that she brings an assistant with her and they do all of the cleaning up at the conclusion of the meal. Absolutely recommend without hesitation!!!

The chia pudding was very good, not sugary at all and tastes healthy like i like it with lots of fresh strawberries and the granola i recommend adding for &1.50. The tuna melt was delicious! Reminds me how my mom would make it growing up, i tasted hints of blu cheese very subtle and nice amount of onions. Def recommend checking out when passing thru area. The staff was also very kind.

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. We were the only customers in line, but the staff didn't greet us or even make eye contact, which made us feel unwelcome. My parents were uncomfortable, so we left. I later went back to grab a baguette for a snack, but it was hard and chewy and didn't seem very fresh. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but between the service and the bread, I don't see myself coming back.

He and his assistant Christine were extremely professional, the food was absolutely delicious, the presentation was delightful and everything went according to plan. Me and my entire party would recommend Chef Andrea without hesitation and are already talking about doing this again. We started by being surprised and delighted with warm fresh baked breads paired with yummy homemade salami. Then we moved to our first course of mixed organic greens with goat cheese mousse, pears and walnuts with a delicious Italian balsamic vinegar. Chef came out and showed us our 2nd course of his fresh handmade agnolotti dal plin (pasta pockets stuffed with pork, beef and veggies in a sage brown butter sauce) before cooking it and, once cooked, grated fresh cheese over it. Our third course was boneless organic chicken stuffed with porcini mushrooms wrapped in pancetta with perfectly cooked carrots and green beans and roasted potatoes. Dessert was a delicious chocolate Italian custard with amaretti biscuits paired with homemade strawberry mint sorbet. Every course was described to us by Chef with tidbits of information about Italy, which was very informative. The service was Michelin star quality, all women were served first and the food was fresh and piping hot. It was clear that Chef is very passionate about his food and the stories behind it. And, my kitchen was even cleaner when they left than it was when they arrived and we didn't have to lift a finger. What an amazing experience!
