Do they still do the $10 tastings on the wine shop side (indoors at the bar)?

If someone was to ask me for a rec in Sonoma, this would be top 3…read more Incredible. Multiple people recommended Valley to us so we came by for brunch. The breakfast potatoes were to die for. Wow 10/10. The chilaquiles were the best I've ever had. The sauce had an incredible flavor with a salty balance from the queso. The restaurant is a vibe. It's so fun and funky. P.s as I'm sitting on the patio next door I'm tempted to go back for dinner ;)

I heard a lot of recommendations for this place so we tried to stop in for dinner. It is a small…read morespace but they do have a back patio. We came in and stood around 5-8 minutes waiting for the hostess to even arrive, which I thought was a bit strange. When we were sat, we got a small table near the kitchen. We did also wait a while to get someone at our table and then we got a pretty chill surfer like dude who helped us maneuver the menu, etc. We started off with a glass of Chardonnay and they did have a great wine selection. We ordered the tomato toast to start and it may have been the best bite I had my whole Napa/Sonoma trip. I would recommend ordering TWO of these, they were that good. We also tried the yellowtail sashimi item with the passion fruit which was quite tasty but the tomato toast was the star of the show. For our mains we got the crispy rice and the halibut with the tomato curry, both which were recommended by our waiter. I thought both were decent - the crispy rice had good flavor but was inconsistent in the crispiness- some pieces were rock hard and others were just right, definitely too crunchy if you have sensitive teeth. The halibut dish was nice, it did have a good flavor but I just think I personally dont love halibut. Overall a good spot - reminded me of restaurants in Richmond,VA. Would like to come back for brunch or try more items.

He was also friendly and warm, making our group feel welcome. The cheese board was delicious and a nice size. We also really liked the wine and ended up ordering some to take home from our trip. Convenient location in Sonoma Plaza in a neat old converted building that was once a general store.

Pangloss wins you over with the tasting room before the wine even arrives. Tucked in Sonoma Plaza,…read morethe historic space had exposed stone walls and a quirky but luxe steampunk, stagecoach feel. I had the $60 Texture Flight, featuring Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while my spouse opted for the $70 Repris Flight. Lindsay was a good wine educator, knowledgeable, engaging, and unhurried. Since we visited midweek, we were given time to linger and enjoy the experience. The $30 cheese and charcuterie board was actually a pretty good value, although the five Rustic Bakery crackers allotted felt pretty insufficient. An additional cheese selection and some good bread would have made it feel more balanced. There were some really annoying flies in the tasting room, which were difficult to keep off our board. The wines were good and the education component was excellent. But at $60 to $70 per tasting, plus food charges, the value was not quite there for us. I'd give it 3.5 to 4 stars. A nice place to linger in Sonoma, particularly if you appreciate a tasting room on the town square, thoughtful wine education & strong AC on a hot Sonoma summer day.

Wow! I came back years later, and I'm still incredibly impressed by this restaurant. The girl & the…read morefig has truly mastered its sauces, elevating the dishes from great to excellent. Our waiter, Willie, was very knowledgeable about the menu, seemed genuinely happy to be there, and provided excellent service throughout the night. My only caveat was the radish appetizer. I was surprised that it was literally chopped raw radishes served with butter. Thankfully, Willie brought us an aioli that significantly improved the flavor, but the dish still felt underwhelming compared to everything else. Steak au poivre: One of the best dishes I've had all year. It was fantastic, memorable, and the extra sauce was also delicious with the sourdough. Flounder: Buttery, citrusy goodness. It was cooked to perfection, and the sauce took it to the next level.

Our experience however was somewhat mixed. The restaurant is cozy and very cute; elegantly decorated with beautiful art works painted by the owner which we enjoyed a lot. Excellent service, our waitress was warm, personable and very pleasant. We received each a glass of complimentary champagne for our anniversary. To start, we ordered a cauliflower soup and a fig arugula salad. The soup was tasty and light, very enjoyable, salad was ok, we were hoping for a little more figs and pecan. Both of us liked the scallops and the relish, it was perfectly executed and delicious. We had high hopes for the mussels unfortunately it was a let down. While the broth was flavorful, most of the mussels were tiny. Hubby even got several bites with sand and had to go to the bathroom to rinse it out. We mentioned to our waitress, the manager came over to apologize and our dessert was comped. Which was a good gesture. We did also have nice chats with a family of four sitting next to us. Not sure if we'll return any time soon, if we do will stay away from the mussels.
