We went for lunch and had a really nice experience. The restaurant was clean and inviting, and our server was attentive and friendly. We tried the salmon and pesto pasta, and both were really yummy! Overall, we were very happy with our experience and would definitely come back.

Class! That's what is being served here. Our server Thalia was great . The cocktails we had were all on point. Didn't try the food but we will just have to next time. I was in the mood for an espresso martini, the one they serve here was tasty and the ambience in this lounge was tops. If you're in downtown Santa Rosa treat yourself at this spot. No regrets on my experience.

Had a girls lunch out. This place is soooo cute and full of fun drinks and food! I had the ceviche and the truffle fries and they were both delicious. The waitress was nice and checked on us frequently. The drinks were also very good. I want to go back and try the breakfast. I was here for 2 hours and it went by so fast!

As someone who's very familiar with the social dining scene in and around Sonoma County, I can confidently say this new spot in downtown Santa Rosa is a great addition. I've had the chance to stop in a few times now for a quick drink and each visit has been consistently enjoyable. The atmosphere is welcoming, cozy and exactly what you want from a lounge. It's comfortable, stylish, and easy to settle into. I've visited a few times now (primarily for drinks) and each experience has been memorable. I haven't tried the food yet because I've clearly been very committed to making my way through the drink menu first, but the food is next on my list. I'm looking forward to returning soon to experience it and update my review. Most of the time's I've stopped in it's been kind of quiet; my assumption is word hasn't quite gotten about this place. So far, this lounge is off to a strong start and I'm excited to see it continue to grow. 10/10.

Great food and amazing drinks! Friendly customer service would definitely recommend!! :)

Cocoa w marshmallows (and some coffee)
Carolyn S.

Joined a friend and her granddaughter here for a midday snack after I left the gym and was starving. Ordered a cocoa/coffee (yea a mocha but that's how I ordered it because the cocoa comes with fire toasted marshmallows) and even though it was a couple hours before dinner service (4pm) I asked for the braised short ribs over mashed potatoes. Being that it wasn't 4 yet some of the items were not fully prepared so I opted to have the beef short ribs over fries (same veg ) and do you know what they did? The owner went ahead and had the dish prepared as described with the mashed potatoes. I found this level of customer service to be amazing and unexpected as it clearly states on the menu I'd have to wait til 4. For desert I chose the caramel brûlée cheesecake which came out in the cutest display and was decadent. In addition to the way these guys go out if their way to accommodate you, the food was superb. I'm talking gives you the happy-wiggles-cause-it's-so-good superb. Ambiance is nice, tables and deep booths for privacy. 10/10 I'll be back

Came here for the first time for our anniversary and we loved it! I asked for a recommendation for a strong sweet drink and they nailed it, exactly what I wanted. My fiancé ordered a beer and I ended up trying a couple drinks that were seriously fire. We also ordered the wings and fries and both were really good. The vibes were amazing, great music, low/smooth lighting, and true bar vibes without being overwhelming. Super chill and a great spot for a night out. Definitely coming back!

Wedge salad with chicken.

Love this place! Food is always delicious. Friendly service, which keeps me coming back. Love their selection of drinks and options.

bacon mac & cheese

I finally came in for the first time with my friend. We each ordered a drink, they were sooo cute & delicious. The steak plate was very flavorful as well. It did not disappoint. The place had a classy ambiance. I'll definitely be back.

Wedge Salad with Roasted Chicken

One of my favorite places downtown, they opened in September & I have now been over 20 times - I have tried almost everything on the menu and can tell you that everything is so fresh & delicious & really consistent. Highlights are all the salads & the braised short rib with mashed potatoes. Salmon is amazing... short rib grilled cheese is fire. Drinks are amazing with fresh made juices & an ever changing cocktail menu. cannot recommend this place enough for either lunch or a date night! it's fun on the weekends, fun at night, fun at lunch.. what more can you ask for.

J&A Lounge Christmas Tree !!

Food is good and I love the atmosphere it's the kind of atmosphere that you would want to stay around a long time. Fries are Hella good if you never had them there worth it . And the cocktails and beer are Hella if you are a beer drinker this is for you. Thalia is a sweet person fun to talk too. And Jackie too !!

Pesto pasta

J&A Lounge is a gem. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is elevated but still welcoming--perfect for date night, girls' night, or even a casual dinner that turns into drinks. The drink menu is outstanding. There's truly something for everyone--from beautifully crafted cocktails to wine and beer options that feel intentional, not generic. Every drink is balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell the bar program was thoughtfully curated. Now let's talk about the food--because it does not play second to the drinks. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and well-executed, but the pesto pasta is an absolute must-have. Creamy, rich, and perfectly seasoned--it's one of those dishes you think about long after you leave. Great food, amazing drinks, and a vibe that makes you want to stay longer than planned. J&A Lounge has officially become a go-to spot. Highly recommend.

Delicious spicy margarita!

Great bar! Great drinks! Awesome staff!! Always looks clean and we love the game room…read more As a regular, the way they handle unruly and out of pocket customers, continues to impress me! I was sitting at the bar on Thursday when a customer, Rainey, called the bartender a b*#ch, cursing her out. The bartender explained nicely the girl's token couldn't be used for a $40 Clase Azul Margarita, giving her several other tequila options I might add, and the young girl flipped out in her & called her names. The bartender definitely kept her cool, never even raising her voice. The way people treat bartenders sometimes is just so terrible! Don't go out if you can't act appropriately. Anyway this place is great and I keep going back. Thanks for the yummy drinks Mockingbird!

The name Mockingbird Bar & Chill immediately caught my attention, so had to check it out…read more I stopped in on a Friday right when they opened, so the place was quiet. I ordered one drink, and it was pretty good. The only downside was the service. The bartender wasn't very personable, and I didn't really feel welcomed. To be fair, it was the start of the shift, so maybe they were just getting settled in or simply having an off day. We all have those days, so I'm trying not to judge the experience too harshly. I usually like to give places a second chance because one visit doesn't always tell the whole story. The drink showed promise, and I'm hopeful my next visit will leave a better overall impression. Looking forward to seeing how the experience compares the second time around.

Everything was perfect! This place is a gem!…read more The burger was one of the best fancy burgers I've had in a long time. It looked like they ground their meat in house, but I forgot to ask so don't quote me on that. It was cooked a PERFECT medium rare topped with bacon, Cambazola, fig jam and frisse, served on a soft yet sturdy brioche style bun. The shoestring fries were like crack, super addictive, I couldn't stop! The wife had the steak frites, and it might be our new favorite restaurant for that dish. Steak was cooked ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY!! Fries were out of control good. No notes! Nice craft cocktail menu, short but well curated wines by the glass list, and the bartender had a heavy hand with those pours. Had a few oysters on the half shell as an appetizer, and we split the fried green tomatoes too. Those were topped with fresh shaved corn and a cilantro cream.l.with a few cherry tomatoes for color. So good. The atmosphere is old school speak easy vibe. Classy but casual. It's a small restaurant and the bar is front and center but they have a few tables outside for when the weather is nice. Our server was Sam, and she was the greatest. Hat's off to you for your service, Sam!

We had high hopes but the venue failed in every regard…read more The layout and the decorations are just beautiful, but the functional acoustic atmosphere is horrible, it's almost the worst I've ever been in. There's almost zero damping and no acoustic management whatsoever. It has the appearance of an attractive venue without the functional reality. It was incredibly painful with the voices of all the talking along with the music ringing in our ears. The conversations of people were amplified by the design of the facility to the point where they were competing with the fully amplified '90s band that I heard called joose. In addition, they appear to have no comprehension about how to actually create an appropriate acoustic management system. There are no damping systems, no soft surfaces, it's like they didn't even ask anybody who knows anything about anything about how to do acoustic design. It's entirely appearance based. We will never return here again for anything other than a cocktail or maybe a karaoke event. It was a waste of $20. Per person. We effectively paid $40 for a couple to be acoustically tortured for 2 hours. We kept hoping it would get better but it didn't I thought maybe once more people came in they might help but it didn't help they just got louder. I can't believe that nobody else has complained about this before.

However, these performers just lip sang and walked around collecting tips. Hardly any interaction with the crowd. The '3 course meal' was awful. First course was a small cinnamon bun and mini chocolate crossiant, second course was a tiny portion of french toast casserole and egg frita, and then dessert. It was all sugar- no protein, or fruit. Definitely felt like a rip off.

When the fries were brought out the waitress didn't bring napkins or utensils. The utensils I could care less for but eating finger food without having a napkin isn't what I like to do.

Our total with drinks (6), mussels and fries, flatbread, asparagus salad, tuna tartare was $180 for the 3 of us. Felt pricey, but I guess it's not surprising considering where we were. Drinks were delicious! Service was great overall, no hovering but attentive enough to not feel forgotten.
