The woman working was nice enough, but was too young to serve booze, which was kind of a bummer because we both wanted a drink. Maybe, if you are in town, but I would not go out of my way.

Late to the game on this one…read more I've been hearing about lunchbox for a long time, but I'm usually not in Sebatopol during lunch hours so it's been challenging for me to get there, but as luck would have it, I was able to visit recently. I've been hearing about their awesome smash burgers and figured I'd give one a try. I got the Kansas City fried onion smash burger with fries to do the whole meal deal. I have to say this was one of the best hamburgers I've ever had in my life. No joke! The patties were seared perfectly. The bun was toasted beautifully, and the meat was seasoned very well. The overall sandwich came together in a spectacular. Possibly one of the best hamburgers I've ever had. The restaurant itself is pretty minimal, but offered comfortable seating. Bonus points for playing chill music in the background at a reasonable volume. Atmosphere was casual. A couple seats out front too of you prefer a little more action. Looks like the do some beer options, though it liked like they may have had a couple taps out. I chose sparkling water from the adornment on the fridge by the register. hats off to the team at Lunch Box. I'll definitely be going back to try more of the items off their menu. Thanks!

We started with a Cappelletti Spritz (basically an Aperol spritz but not Aperol, and I kind of liked it better), some olives, meatballs, and the burrata toast. All were delicious! For our mains, we had the Bolognese (one with burrata and one without) and the spaghetti with Sunday Red. They made it a point to mention several times that the Bolognese had nutmeg in the sauce (NOT cinnamon as someone else posted. That would be very different.) and made sure it was okay with us. When the Bolognese came out, we discovered that they had red pepper flakes on them. My son doesn't like spicy, so we had them make another one without (took only a few minutes and we brought the other one home). It was delicious and you can definitely taste the nutmeg. We're happy we have another order! Everything was amazing. The portions were plenty. We didn't even have room for dessert and I kind of wanted that olive oil cake! Can't wait to come back.

I was excited to hear Acre was opening a restaurant that focuses on handcrafted pasta. The menu is…read morerather simple with a couple options for salads and sides and then six pastas that you can add protein and veggies. They also have a couple dessert options and a simple drink menu with a couple non-alcoholic options and a couple of wine options. They have a good amount of seating al fresco as well as a quaint dining room with green walls and decorations. The kitchen is in the middle of it all and you can see your food being crafted with care. I ordered the grilled garlic bread, which is a must try! It comes with two slices and is grilled to perfection. For the pasta, I ordered the tagliatelle with pesto, snap peas and asparagus. It was very light and refreshing. I also added burrata to the pasta. The staff was attentive throughout my visit. This is a great addition to the Barlow! I can't wait to come back soon and try more of their menu!

Although the flavor profile on the salmon with citrus and saffron was not to my taste it was expertly prepared. All that said we received some of the most neglectful service I have ever had from a very nice server, who for no obvious reason left us alone for most of the meal. It got busier as our time stretched on, but it wasn't slammed and there was plenty of staff. We ordered plenty of food including two bottles of wine. We had to completely finish all of our appetizers before being asked about mains and we sat with empty glasses for ~20 minutes (possibly more) before we flagged someone down to get the second bottle; a bottle we left half drunk because it stretched our evening so long. I might give this place another try but honestly it was one of the most drawn out anticlimactic $400+ birthday celebrations (without desert) I have ever had. We could have done better at home for less.

Cock Robin was a great lunch stop during our visit to the Santa Rosa/Sebastapol area…read more We ordered a chicken sandwich and the chicken tenders with sweet potato fries. It's worth noting that nothing comes in a combo here. Lunch was about $35. The service was good and the cashier was friendly. You order at the counter and get your own food here when it's ready. It didn't take too long for food to come out. The food was good. Chicken tender breading was a bit strange and did not offer much crisp. I wish they used a different breading process. Chicken sandwich had lots of flavor. The dips were bomb. I enjoyed the burger sauce the most. Some of the sweet potato fries ended up overcooked. The outdoor seating options here were awesome. I loved the back patio with turf areas for the kids to play in the gorgeous weather. Overall, a great place to grab a bite, but the fried chicken scene is so crowded and Cock Robin isn't quite doing enough to edge out five stars.

While the ambiance is delightful, my experience with the food was mixed; the cheese curds and onion rings were tasty, but my cheeseburger, cooked well-done as their standard, lacked the juiciness and flavor I was hoping for, and the patty could have been cooked a tad longer for better taste. The rose served was quite a minimal pour, and my husband's beer was satisfactory-he liked it. Service: welcoming and helpful.

On the wall was a chalkboard with the list of local farmers and vendors that they used to supply their restaurant. I loved how fresh and flavorful all the food was, but I loved their collaboration with small local business owners to provide them with things like eggs and dairy. I had an omelette with spinach, caramelized, tomatoes, chicken sausage, and goat cheese. This was one of the most delicious bites I've had at a breakfast spot in a long time. We also shared an order of beignets that came with some fresh apple butter, which was to die for! It felt like taking a bit off fall weather if that makes sense. My boyfriend had some biscuits and country gravy with a side of sausage and fried eggs. He loved everything that he ate as well. He also had a bloody Mary, which was made with Soju. The flavor and quality was top notch and you hardly missed the vodka from the drink. Our server was very friendly, and he offered some insight into the quality of the Soju and the vendors that they work with. I just really loved the care that this restaurant put into not only service but the food that they're producing.

Started off funky with the U-Be Trippin which was an interesting mix, not sure the sesame seeds won me over, but a clever drink. My wife got the Creamsicle which she liked.

Got some fries just to sit with, they were great. 2 friends joined for dinner and we just got a ton of small plates. Pickles, Falafel, Numb Nums, Lamb meatballs, Kimchijeon were all great. Standouts for me because they were unique were the Numb Nums (which yes, numbed your tongue, weird) and the Kimchijeon (kimchi pancake).

First and last time eating here at the Sebastopol Sunshine Cafe…read more I had heard good things about it and I went with friends who go frequently, describing it as a "greasy spoon"place with cheap eats. I totally agree with that description. I ordered the "Special" fish taco plate for $16.00. I have to say that the two tacos had a generous piece of fish in each. However the fish was fried too long and ended up looking like a deep brown over crisp brick. There was a side of mixed green salad that was limp and lifeless. One of my friends ordered the fried chicken, again the chicken was a deep brown bordering on the verge of burnt. The other annoying thing was that the pesky fly or flies that would not stay away from our plates and table. So the abundant food and inexpensive prices are not worth the trade off, sorry!!
