    Avacado toast
    Annette S.

    A standout cafe restaurant, beautifully appointed and a popular spot for ladies brunch or couples dinner. The service was first rate, never rushed and very attentive. The food will not disappoint you and there are options for gluten free, vegetarian, and the sweet tooth. The food presentation will get the mouth watering instantly. It's a smaller restaurant and can be a little loud but the standout bar quickly calms the mood! Enjoy!

    Smoked pork belly eggs benedice. Skip the potatoes and opt for the salad side.

    I had an amazing breakfast at Sonoma Bistro!!! The smoked pork belly eggs Benedict was scrumptious! I love the arugula salad touch and the hollandaise sauce was outstanding. My Mrs had the fluffy French toast and she ate most of the huge portion. That's saying a lot because she usually hates everything. The hostess and waitress were fabulous. There was a gentleman waiter who also checked in on us and the owner chef visited our table. The decor is cool! Check out the festive tree in the dining room. The only down side is how loud it is. The place is fine and was jam packed with patrons and it was difficult to hear my companion or the server. Overall this place is magnificent and a must try!!!

    Brunch menu. Lemon ricotta pancakes with sausage.

    Went during a random weekday for brunch. My friend and I came close to opening, so it was empty. While we ate, 2 more groups entered a little after 12pm. The restaurant is very clean and was very aesthetically decorated. The big tree in the middle really brings the whole place together. Also the entrance was nicely decorated for Fall! Food was great! I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. Usually, flavored pancakes just have the toppings on top, but these pancakes actualllly tasted like the flavors! They were delectable. The sausage was also great! Fries at brunch is a must and they were crispy and a good amount. Coffee was good, but the food was the standout! Definitely will be visiting again, hopefully to try their dinner menu!

    The food was amazing! Loved the meatball appetizer as well as the brie with fig! The entrees were amazing! I had the shrimp pasta! Delicious! The service was top notch! Just a bit noisy - music was too loud for a spot that small but they adjusted when we asked.

    We were in town and looking for a place to have some food and a few drinks . We went into a few places but they either didn't have a bar , didn't serve alcohol or were closed until we found this place . They are located in a corner and the decor alone made you wanna go in . We go in and sit at the bar where we were greeted by Brian , he was the most helpful and pleasant bartender , after a little while his shift was over and Esther took over and she was just as friendly and pleasant to be around . It made you just want to stay there , enjoy your drink and have great conversation . The ambiance was great and the decor is simply so beautiful inside and out . The food : well well well , I had the Pappardelle Pasta with grilled chicken , asparagus , cherry tomatoes in a wine garlic sauce and OH MY GOD !! That was simply amazinggggggg , it was so good , the sandwich was also very good and freshly made . I definitely RECOMMEND this place , it's an all perfect ambience, food and service all in one place . Two thumbs up and extra stars to this great place .

    We went here for brunch on JAN 1st. Service was really good and we loved the food. We also got cocktails mimosa and pineapple. Bellini both were really good. It had music. We went there with Baby so it was Baby friendly. We reserve the table beforehand. Loved the decor. It was a very good fun vibe overall.

    Returned back and have two things to note. - Food is good - portions are terrible Ordered a Cesar salad wrap - basically a salad wrap with three pieces of chicken. Very disappointing. The French toast special was over priced and had one piece of toast. How does a place do that? Typically it's two. It felt like it was a kids meal. It was delicious, but I was shocked when it arrived .. For the prices they are charging, they need to up the portions so guests don't leave hungry. In sum, the food itself is good, but way too small. The ice coffee - was fantastic. That alone, I'd return back for. Staff - extremely kind and attentive.

    I had a great time at Sonoma Bistro. Lunch on a weekday was great as it wasn't too busy. The food was delicious and the service was good. I am happy and will be returning

    Penne with chicken Ana vodka sauce
    Nicole F.

    This place has great breakfast, lunch and dinners! You can't go wrong with a meal here and they now have a liquor license and great mocktails. The plating for every dish is beautiful and artistic and the flavors just come together so nicely we shared the Barata watermelon salad that was unbelievable. The penne with grilled chicken had a nice light vodka sauce on it and the salmon over cilantro lime rice was delicious my husband save some room for the Tres Leche Nutella bread pudding, and I had a few bites and it was decadent Great service , One server is nice than the next! The decor has floral arrangements throughout and also has outdoor seating that is pet friendly.

    100000000/10 - this place is so good! We got the empanadas appetizer and lemon ricotta pancakes w: bacon to share. The empanadas were SO saucy and so flavorful. The pancakes were super light and airy and the bacon was cooked to PERFECTION - perfectly crispy. For my entree, I got the smoked salmon eggs Benedict with french fries. This whole dish was so good, I would have it once a week if I could. The egg was perfectly runny and the sauce on top was so good with the salmon lox. The serving size looked small to me when it first came out but it was filling when paired with the appetizers. The restaurant itself is very clean and modern but the seating does feel a bit tight. I will say that the waiters were very quick about cleaning up our dishes and I did feel a little bit rushed but I guess they were trying to open another table up. For reference, we showed up with a 12pm reservation and still had to wait ~10 minutes. TIP: Make a reservation! This place looks like it's packed all the time. Also, it's all street parking so may take some time to find.

    Avocado Tomato Toast
    Jessica Y.

    Such a cute place! Came with friends for brunch and enjoyed our food and drinks. The menu also looked great for dinner so will probably be back! I was a little disappointed that the waiter misunderstood my order but I didn't let it ruin my meal. I ordered the egg white omelette which was supposed to come with mushrooms, arugula, tomato, and goat cheese. I asked for him to do cheddar instead of goat and also add onion. Instead, I just received a cheddar and onion omelette. My friends got the carnitas breakfast taco special, lemon and ricotta pancakes, and avocado toast which all looked good and they enjoyed it! I am only giving the restaurant 4 stars since the waiter misunderstood my order and I ended up with just onion and cheese. I thought he would've comped the omelette or even my mimosa due to his error but he did not. Otherwise this would've gotten 5 stars.

    Mushroom Truffle Eggs Benedict
    Tera M.

    Located in downtown Rutherford on Park Ave. Great brunch place. Huge variety of eggs Benedict's (my breakfast fave). I plan to come back until I've tried all of them. I started with a Cesar salad. Probably the best one I've had in ages. Anchovies were plentiful and they used brioche bread to make the croutons. Sooo good. Perfectly dressed with creamy dressing. I ordered the truffle mushroom eggs Benedict. The home fries were bland but the eggs Benedict was lovely. I also ordered a side of crispy bacon and a small plate piled high with the most perfectly crisped bacon! Was what I got. Great service. They were able to make appropriate recommendations, were friendly and attentive. I have no complaints and will happily return!

    First time here. Made a reservation online for a nice dinner with my dad while we were in Rutherford (our former hometown), sadly for a friend's funeral. It's one of the few restaurants in Rutherford with a full bar, which shocked us because historically (like 75 years+) Rutherford was a dry town! But I honestly welcome the change because I enjoy a nice cocktail or glass of wine with a good meal. Dad ordered a scotch and I had a cocktail (it's name escapes me) with a pear puree and a cinnamon stick that was lit by our server and gave a nice smoky essence. Very tasty and lovely presentation. We had the fried calamari to share as an appetizer. It came with fried/breaded jalapeño peppers which we didn't really touch (we are "heat" wimps), but the calamari and marinara were both very good. I had the chicken saltimbocca which had a cream sherry sauce, mushrooms, and risotto. The chicken was a little tough, but the flavor of everything was very good. Dad had the seafood risotto which had all manner of shellfish with a lobster cream sauce. He seemed to have enjoyed his too. For dessert we each had a cappuccino and shared the zeppoles for dessert. The plate came out with 4 enormous puffs of zeppole, which seemed intimidating, but unlike the traditional Italian street fair variety we were used to, they were hollow inside and not balls of thick dough. So it was like a deep fried crispy "skin" with drizzled chocolate but totally hollow inside. Not heavy at all, but also not what we were expecting. Service was very good. Our server left us to talk and attended to our needs all at the right time. The interior was quite beautiful with this gorgeous illuminated tree adorned with white lights and icicles for the holiday season. Bathroom was very clean, well equipped, well decorated and inviting. Parking was convenient; we parked right on the side street, and due to the holiday it was free parking! Bonus! I will most certainly return next time I'm back in town!

    called "Hanging in There". Very yum & cool

    While meandering around our local neighborhood, my husband and I stumbled upon this tiny diner and…read moregave it a try. We're so glad we did, because this hole in the wall turned out to be a diamond in the rough. With a nondescript exterior and limited signage, Foodies Diner is easy to miss. It's in an area with mainly houses and mixed use commercial buildings, but the space inside is cozy. I especially appreciated the way the owner greeted everyone who enters and thanked everyone who leaves with notable warmth and small-town friendliness. The menu reads like a true diner - with all-day breakfast and brunch options, as well as standard lunch fare. We ordered a Santa Fe salad and an L.A. burger - which comes with avocado, bacon, onion, lettuce, and tomatoes. The burger was pretty standard, but having it delivered on a warm brioche bun feels a little bit special. The accompanying fries were also great - crisp and potatoey on the inside. The salad, on the other hand, was a near triumph. Served on a large platter, there was a small field of well-seasoned chicken, shredded cheddar, vegetables, avocado, pico de gallo, and - best yet - some pieces of warm, toasted pita. I even sprinkled some pieces of bacon from my burger into this salad, and wow did that take it over the top. I dug into this salad with fair gusto and would absolutely come back for it...which is saying something, since I wouldn't expect to fall in love with a salad at a diner. Service was fantastic, and we were pleased with how reasonably priced our meal turned out to be. There's plenty of parking - either right out front or in the lot further back.

    4.5 but I'll round up. My kids loved their meals, we had grilled cheese, chocolate chip pancakes,…read morechicken caesar sandwich. Everything came out delicious and timely. The staff was super friendly. A nice choice away from the city.
