The place has a beautiful country farmhouse vibe, bright, open dining room, and a separate bar tucked away in the back(right where we walked in), that makes it feel cozy without being noisy. They also have a really nice Happy Hour menu, even on weekends until 5 PM, which was a pleasant surprize. The only downside was the service. The restaurant was almost empty, but our party of three ordered a salad, two appetizers, and a mushroom pizza, then ended up waiting until about 5:30 PM. After reminding our server about the order, everything suddenly started coming out. Food was mostly very good. The beet salad was spot on, and the burrata was fresh and exactly what we were hoping for. The calamari was a little over-fried, though I really liked the seasoning. The mushroom pizza had good flavor, but it was a bit too heavy on the spices, so my four-year-old wouldn't eat it. Overall, it's still a solid 4-star place. Great atmosphere, good Happy Hour, and quality food with just a few things that could be improved. We'll definetly be back next time we're in the area.

We also ordered the El Senor Crispy which is Fried chicken breast, cole slaw, sweet chili bacon aioli, pickles, served on a bun with fries - delicious! We did get 3 pastries to go and our favorite was the apple cinnamon one. I ordered a unicorn mimosa for funsies. It is blue with edible glitter. Pretty good and not overly sweet.

Our waiter, Willie, was very knowledgeable about the menu, seemed genuinely happy to be there, and provided excellent service throughout the night. My only caveat was the radish appetizer. I was surprised that it was literally chopped raw radishes served with butter. Thankfully, Willie brought us an aioli that significantly improved the flavor, but the dish still felt underwhelming compared to everything else. Steak au poivre: One of the best dishes I've had all year. It was fantastic, memorable, and the extra sauce was also delicious with the sourdough. Flounder: Buttery, citrusy goodness. It was cooked to perfection, and the sauce took it to the next level.

3.5 stars During our Sonoma vacation last week we were…read moreexcited to dine here after hearing so much about the place and seeing so many 5 star reviews. Our experience however was somewhat mixed. The restaurant is cozy and very cute; elegantly decorated with beautiful art works painted by the owner which we enjoyed a lot. Excellent service, our waitress was warm, personable and very pleasant. We received each a glass of complimentary champagne for our anniversary. To start, we ordered a cauliflower soup and a fig arugula salad. The soup was tasty and light, very enjoyable, salad was ok, we were hoping for a little more figs and pecan. Both of us liked the scallops and the relish, it was perfectly executed and delicious. We had high hopes for the mussels unfortunately it was a let down. While the broth was flavorful, most of the mussels were tiny. Hubby even got several bites with sand and had to go to the bathroom to rinse it out. We mentioned to our waitress, the manager came over to apologize and our dessert was comped. Which was a good gesture. We did also have nice chats with a family of four sitting next to us. Not sure if we'll return any time soon, if we do will stay away from the mussels.

So crispy and garlicky! And, the kitchen (plus our amazing server Gustavo!!) was kind enough to make a custom pesto cavatelli for me because I didn't want the cavatelli with morel mushrooms! I will be thinking about the texture of this pasta + the pistachio pesto for a long time. They kept the corn pudding of the original dish at the bottom and it was such a good combination of flavors. I got chicken added on top. I got an espresso martini with gin; pretty good, just wished there was a bit more espresso flavor. Probably would order one of their house cocktails instead next time. Lastly we had the stone fruit cobbler with ice cream and a pine nut/pistachio brittle. Unlike any other cobbler I've ever had. Perfection of different textures. Also, we had the duck fat fries on another day; they were delightfully crispy and lightly seasoned with garlic. The ranch it came with was so yummy and definitely dill-forward. I'd definitely come back! Thank you for your hospitality.

"She's the sunflower of nature's seeds A girl that some men…read moreonly find in their dreams" (Stevie Wonder) Deep in the heart of the California Wine Country, our wine tour let us off for a lunch break to grab a meal somewhere among the various eateries in Sonoma Plaza. We were attracted to the Sunflower Caffé's distinctive yellow and white awning and sign, so we walked in and it was a terrific choice. Their menu is full of locally sourced farm fresh ingredients. I saw pastries, egg dishes, sandwiches, soups, and salads on the food menu. The beverage menu is excellent with a full coffee-espresso bar, mimosas, wine, beer, cider, smoothies, Kombucha, plus wellness and mushroom shots. We each went for one of their Half Sandwich Combos served with a cup of Cream Tomato Soup & Dressed Greens. I had a Spiced Chickpea & Yam Wrap vegan (sunflower-spiced chickpeas, herb-roasted yam, red onion cucumber, vine-ripened tomato, coconut yogurt tzatziki ($19) and my wife has a Sunflower Grilled Cheese (Vella dry-jack butter, cheddar, fontina, sliced sourdough) also for $19. The plates of food were gorgeous, and my half a sandwich was filling. We both gave the creamy tomato soup high marks. Service from Yaya was cheerful, professional and friendly, and as requested she seated us near a charging plug to bring my phone back to life. We were extremely happy with the Sunrise Caffé. PRO TIP The restrooms are outdoors behind the restaurant. On the way over, I saw they had a gorgeous outdoor seating area with bright yellow chairs and a patio cover. That would have been a nice place to eat had we known about it.

The service was pretty good, seated fast, pretty attentive with all the tables they had to serve. We ordered a traditional caramel macchiato (it is nothing like a Carmel macchiato that you are thinking of) and a matcha latte. They were pretty but lacking flavor. The Mach was very bitter, but I am sure that's the traditional version in a little bitty shot like glass -not my fave but I was trying to order stuff i wouldn't normally get. ‍ the matcha came in a giant mug, and it wasn't sweet at all and just kinda of plain. For food, we ordered the wagyu steak and eggs. It came with some interesting garlic herby potatoes, a piece of sourdough cut in half, scrambled eggs, 6 slim slices of beef and a little jam of some sort. We also asked for a side of their house made chili crunch. The steak was mediocre, the potatoes tasted a little weird. We enjoyed the bread and eggs the most. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things. I'd come back and try other items. It is a very cute location.
