My mom order the chicken fried steak and before the server even left the table she knew she had to send it back. The mashed potatoes were cold with a load of dark congealed gravy on top - the "steaks" was one piece of fried steak that looked like a thin small rubber strip. She decided to just share my plate with me instead - I got the nachos with tri tip for 22 dollars. They were cold, unseasoned and every single chip was burnt. We ended up throwing them away after a few bites. My boyfriend's burger he ordered medium rare was way past well done, but somehow cold served with cold cheese. The same with my dad's chicken sandwich. It's not an exaggeration to say that was some of the worst food I have ever received at a restaurant. To finally top that off my mom and I both got food poisoning that lasted two full days. My stomach is still hurting. Avoid. There are many other spots in town.

We were very early for the tour so grabbed a quick warm beverage while wandering through the shops and enjoying the ambiance of the fireplace. Our tour guide was friendly and personable.

The tasty was just $15 (as others have mentioned) for a generous glass of champagne (no barely there sips here) and you get to sample 3 different types of champagne. I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Korbel and hope to return again soon

The tasting is only $15, which is incredibly cheap compared to most places in the area - definitely one of the best deals in Sonoma. The champagnes themselves are inexpensive, but still really enjoyable, and the tasting experience is relaxed, friendly, and not pretentious at all. It's a great place to sip, celebrate, and enjoy bubbly without breaking the bank. The grounds are pretty, the staff is welcoming, and overall it was the perfect little celebratory stop.

Her customer service, warmth, and enthusiasm flowed throughout the evening and was a large contributor to our positive experience. We ordered the Beet Salad, Mac n Cheese, Bistro Steak, Black Cod, and for dessert had the Bread Pudding. Pretty much everything was absolutely delicious. The Mac n Cheese deserves a special mention as it was perfectly creamy and flavorful. The one thing I could not get over was the amount of broth in the cod dish. It was simply too much and overtook the dish. The cod itself however was buttery and cooked to perfection. All in all, boone eat + drink was a great experience and I would definitely return and recommend.

The weather is perfect, you're on the river, and on both sides surrounding you are tons (literally) of BBQ to be eaten and kegs of beer to be emptied. There's music, revelry and a lot of satisfied bellies all around you. It's definitely an experience to take in. We had a bit of a logistical hiccup getting in, and unfortunately I wasn't able to try the Mad Scientist BBQ (winner from last year) but there's always next year. And with that being said, I sampled at least 8-10 other very legitimate BBQ teams serving some of the best ribs and chicken I've ever had. If you are fortunate enough to secure a ticket for this event next year I recommend a couple things: -Get a beer lanyard for $5 (they are super helpful) -Come with an empty stomach -Eat first, then drink. The food runs out before the beer. -Bathroom lines can be tough, try to go to the less obvious Porto locations That's it, see you next year Stumptown!

Stayed here for New Year's Eve weekend. A sweet Bavarian get away spot. Our room was small but…read moreclean and adequate for the two-night stay. It's an older building on the river so it's not high luxury or filled with modern convenience (like an elevator). But we loved the chalet feel, the big fire in the lobby fireplace, the decor. The newer addition houses the restaurant and bar which are very spacious. Continental breakfast was included and a good start to the day. It's quiet, warm, clean and affordably priced. Very much like little hotels we've been to in Europe. Recommend for a short trip, and suggest getting a room with a view of the river if available.

Not inviting so we sat at a high boy in the darkened bar, which was much nicer. I'm sure it's beautiful to sit on the balcony in the summer on warm nights. We chatted with the German owner who was doubling as a bartender, who was very nice. We loved the German influences in the bar, as we had just been to Oktoberfest in Munich. The owner's daughter Sarah runs the kitchen. My husband had a pork tenderloin schnitzel "Vienna style" ($20) and I had a jaegerschnizel with mushroom gravy ($20) and both were excellent. We split the potato pancakes (two with sour cream and apple sauce, $12) which were served crispy but tasty. They had a nice German beer and wine list. We finished with a delicious apple strudel to complete a lovely meal. I recommend this restaurant for tasty dinners in a unique venue.

My husband had the chop, my youngest the salmon and my other son and I had the chicken. Wow, wow wow! That pounded out chicken was juicy on the inside while the crust was crispy and not at all greasy. The mash was handmade and that Texas gravy? Your Memaw would be speechless! It was hands down the best white gravy I've ever had. My husband gave me a bite of his chop and it was sinfully delish! My son with the salmon barely spoke during the meal as he thoroughly enjoyed his dish. To top off this wonderful dining experience, the owner gave my husband and I a nice bottle of local wine and bought my son's drinks when we informed him that our youngest son was leaving for the Army that Sunday. He spoke to my other son in great length about culinary arts and truly made us feel at home. Please, if you are in the area do yourself a favor and stop into this gem of a restaurant. The staff and owner were awesome, food is off the hook good and the patio is just beautiful. They are hoping to open the restaurant floor this fall.
