Disappointing Experience from a Restaurant I Normally Love…read more I normally love Mendocino Farms in Santa Rosa, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. My mom is currently hospitalized and going through a very serious health crisis. She hasn't had much of an appetite, but the one thing she really wanted was the Lemon Chicken & Farro Soup from Mendocino Farms. Her best friend and daughter were kind enough to pick up an order for us, and we were all looking forward to giving my mom something she was actually excited to eat. Unfortunately, the soup was a huge disappointment. There was virtually no chicken and no farro. It was essentially a container of broth. My mom was so upset, and while I realize it's just soup, when someone is going through something so difficult and has very little appetite, those small comforts mean so much. I also ordered my usual Not So Fried Chicken sandwich, which was just okay. Normally, it's crunchy, flavorful, and delicious, but this time it really fell short. I'm not sure if the difference was because we ordered takeout rather than dining in, but the quality was noticeably different from what I've come to expect. To be fair, I did call the restaurant to express my disappointment, and they refunded the soup portion of our order to our friend's bill. I appreciate that they acknowledged the issue and made that gesture. I'm not writing this review to bash the restaurant, because I've genuinely enjoyed so many meals here. I'm sharing it because consistency matters, especially when customers are paying for food they've come to know and love. I know the restaurant had no way of knowing what my mom was going through, but this particular order meant a lot to our family. I just wish it had been prepared with the same care and quality we've experienced in the past. I hope this was simply an off day, because I really do love Mendocino Farms and would hate for this to become the norm.

Today was my first visit to Zoftig Eatery and it certainly won't be my last! I really had no idea…read morethat there would be so many interesting options here and they all sounded so good! I came here to try their breakfast sandwich, which definitely did not disappoint. I also took home a couple of desserts for later! The service here is really great! The person who helped us when we arrived gave us some great suggestions! I really like the seating here and it feels nice and spacious. The art on the walls adds a nice touch as well! The breakfast sandwich has fried eggs and white cheddar cheese on an English Muffin. First I love the way they fry the eggs. Crispy, but still with a runny yoke. The cheese is melted nicely into this really yummy English muffin that was toasted really nicely. I also added bacon and avocado, which was a delicious touch. It's a very rich, fatty sandwich, so I asked for some hot sauce plus it's served with a side of pickles which helps to cut the richness as well. I took a few desserts home to try later, and I'm glad I did! The gluten free carrot cake is excellent. Very buttery and the texture is amazing. Not very sweet, but that may be what some people like. The gluten free lemon cheesecake had a great flavor and is dense like a NY style cheesecake. Again, also not very sweet, but delicious nonetheless. The Flan was a 10/10 in flavor and sweetness, but a 6/10 in texture. A little too dense for my liking. Overall, I love this place and will be back soon!

Zoftig has expanded into full-blown Choose Your Own Adventure territory: Build Your Own salads, sandwiches, wraps, and bowls, plus a gluten-free dessert lineup that practically begs you to pretend you're being healthy right up until the very end. I went with the Thai yellow curry over brown rice with chicken, which was the kind of meal that makes you feel like a responsible adult who has their life together. It was delicious! My dining companion's Ahi Poke bowl was equally impressive, and the roasted sweet potato salad was so good it briefly made me question my life choices up to that point. The chicken -- whether in a salad or a bowl -- was tender, flavorful, and absolutely not what I expected from a place with this many kale options. A word to the wise: show up at noon and you will be humbled. This spot is enormously popular with locals and the lunch-break crowd, and the line will remind you that good food attracts a crowd whether you like it or not. Fortunately, the staff is genuinely warm, happy to make recommendations, and will answer your menu questions without making you feel like you're holding up the line -- even when you absolutely are. Needless to say, it won't be another few years before I'm back. Zoftig has officially earned a permanent spot in the rotation.

At lunch, the chicken shawarma wrap is the one I keep coming back to. It's a genuine flavor bomb, and I always reach the last bite already wishing there were more. At breakfast, I've worked my way through the crepes and haven't met a bad one yet, which is a rare record for any menu. The New Orleans eggs Benedict deserves its own mention. It carries just enough spice to wake you up better than the coffee does, and it's very good. Speaking of the coffee, it's fine, if a touch pricey. But the staff are friendly, the vibe is relaxed, and the food is consistently good, so I'd say the prices are earned across the board. Parking is also easy, which, anyone who eats out regularly knows, is its own kind of luxury. Highly recommended for breakfast & lunch.

Obviously we were too beat to cook a full meal, so I logged onto Yelp and found Rosso. The photos of the pizza looked amazing so we decided to give it a shot. And we're so glad we did! Ever since that night, my wife and I continue to come in for some of the best Italian inspired pizza in the entire North Bay. The crust is legendary and the toppings are always delicious and of top quality. And juuuuuuuusssstttt in case you're not in a pizza mood, their pasta dishes are amazing and..... as an added bonus.....fried chicken! YES! I kid you not, it's among the best you will ever have, and the mashed potatoes are perfect!

On a related note: I live in the neighborhood and have been coming here for years. It's always been sort of a funky dive and the facility fell into major disrepair, but the Flamingo's new owner is doing a really nice job with the renovation so far. Night and day. The pool area, lobby and restaurant have been completed and are really well done (MASSIVE improvement). Hopefully the guest rooms receive the same level of improvement, because they haven't changed yet. If so, they will have done a tremendous job restoring this property. Despite its close proximity to my house, I was never able to recommend the hotel to friends, family and business associates - but it appears that's about to change, and I'm thrilled!

You call them upon arrival and they will bring it out to your car which is awesome. Food was ready when we arrived, fantastic! We ordered the 1/2 bucket with umami fries, side of mac n' cheese, and lots of sauces. The meal comes with pickled veggies, slaw, and 4 Hawaiian rolls with nori butter. It's always disappointing to get your order home from anywhere and find a problem, so spoiler alert that impacts the experience for me. I ordered the fries extra crispy and not only did they come soggy as all get out but they also were lacking the umami salt that's supposed to make them special. Everything else was correct but the fries were a disappointment right out the gate. I seasoned them from my spice rack and popped them under the broiler to crisp up. This helped but if they come out of the fryer not crispy the broiler only does so much. Pickled veggies are good. I always love a pickled carrot. The slaw didn't have much flavor I could discern but I added one of the hot sauces on it and it was tasty. The star of the show, the chicken, was ok. I LOVE fried chicken and eat more of it than I probably should, lol. It was VERY crispy almost too crispy (maybe the chicken was cooked well done instead of my fries?). Since it was so crispy this made the chicken dry. Overall, slightly better than meh but not much. Maybe this isn't a meal that translates to go? If we try it again it'll be in person, even though we are literally only 6 miles away so it's not like it traveled far before we got down on it. Glad we tried it out finally but definitely feeling sad it didn't leave me happier for having checked them out. I'd be remiss if I didn't express how sad I am with how disappointing this meal was overall. Fried chicken usually brings me so much joy alas not today. Oh well I guess. I had higher hopes with all the 4 and 5 star reviews. Maybe we got a bad order but this wasn't a good first showing to make me want to come back and try again. So much sadness.

I do love that it has a large, outdoor patio in a lively spot of the Montgomery Village. This shopping area has improved so much with the changes and additions they've made. The inside is where this place really shines though. The dining room actually feels quite elegant. I love that they give you complimentary sourdough bread and whipped butter. It's a delicious way to start the meal. I ordered the same dish the last two times I came in and that is their roasted salmon. The Flavors on this dish are insane to me. The salmon is cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The couscous with almonds, raisins and arugula plus the Tzatiki sauce gives it a light, Mediterranean feel. The real star here is a pomegranate glaze over the dish that is tart, sweet and brings all the flavors together so well. My wife order their Four Cheese Lasagnettes, which she loved. It comes on a hot, cast iron dish that keeps this dish hot for quite awhile. It is such a delicious dish with three, rolled lasagna pieces. I recommend getting this. My wife said it was even better for leftovers. I am always pleased with the food and service at any Stark family restaurant in Santa Rosa. Go check any of them out!

I explained to her that I was single-sided deaf, and after that, she always approached the table from my good side! The drinks and food were delicious!! For our drinks, I had a White Sangria Spritz filled with diced mango, which was extremely refreshing, and my daughter had a glass of Zin that paired very well with the tasty and crisp (on the edges) Focaccia bread. We then split a yummy Caesar Salad with fresh dressing, and for our entrees, I chose the Chicken Marsala and my daughter the Lamb Ragu - both were savory & rich, and perfectly prepared & displayed!!

For example, I had ordered a side of fries to go with my chicken sandwich. They were the only thing to hit the table for a good ten minutes while we waited for the other food to come out. The southwest chicken sandwich was substantial. Big to hold and to eat. It was, however, a little dry and sadly under seasoned. The sauce couldn't boost the flavor. The setting is good, a bit dated maybe, but overall okay. It's not noisy, so we as a table of five, could easily engage with each other. I don't know - I mean maybe from the other reviews that were raving about the food and the service, I did expect "amazing and delicious." We got, just okay and mostly adequate. I gave three stars because really, it was just okay. There's potential to show more care and attention for each guest and in each dish - or table set - leaving the kitchen. Others seemed to have received it. It was missing for us.
