Don't let the location fool you; this cozy restaurant serves fresh, authentic Thai food in a warm, welcoming atmosphere with friendly, attentive service that strikes the perfect balance. I ordered the Lunch Favorite with Chicken Pad Thai, Fresh Prawn Rolls, and a Thai Iced Tea. The prawn rolls were incredibly fresh, filled with crisp vegetables, perfectly cooked prawns, a hint of mint, and served with a delicious peanut sauce. The Pad Thai absolutely delivered, perfectly cooked rice noodles tossed with chicken, egg, bean sprouts, fresh vegetables, peanuts, lime, and a flavorful tamarind sauce. The assortment of house-made chili sauces let me customize the heat with every bite. The Thai Iced Tea was the perfect companion, rich, creamy, refreshing, and exactly what you want alongside flavorful Thai cuisine. As I enjoyed lunch, I couldn't help but notice the steady stream of regulars dining in and takeout orders heading out the door. That's always a great sign. If you're looking for authentic Thai food in Sonoma County, Bangkok 9 deserves a spot on your list. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, warm hospitality, and consistently flavorful dishes make this an easy recommendation. Sometimes the best restaurants aren't the ones on the busiest street, they're the ones quietly serving exceptional food, one plate at a time. Bangkok 9 is exactly that kind of place, and it's one you'll find yourself coming back to again and again, rating this a strong 4.8 stars

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.

3.5 stars During our Sonoma vacation last week we were…read moreexcited to dine here after hearing so much about the place and seeing so many 5 star reviews. 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.

We had dinner at Layla with a party of six, and while the food was excellent, the service was…read moredisappointing enough that it overshadowed the entire evening. The biggest issue was that a mandatory 20% gratuity was automatically added to our bill. If you're going to require guests to pay a 20% tip regardless of the experience, the service should at least meet that standard. Unfortunately, it didn't. Our server, Chloe, seemed far more occupied with spending time in the kitchen or attending to guests seated outside than checking on our table. We were dining inside, where the restaurant was nearly empty, yet she would disappear for 10-15 minutes at a time, leaving us with no way to ask for refills, order additional drinks, or get simple questions answered. To make matters worse, our wine glasses arrived visibly dirty. We pointed it out, but they were never replaced. That's a basic service expectation at any restaurant, especially one at this price point. She also volunteered recommendations for her "favorite" dishes, despite us never asking for suggestions--and they happened to be among the most expensive items on the menu. It felt more like upselling than genuine hospitality. The kitchen deserves credit because the food was genuinely very good. But great food can't make up for inattentive service, especially when guests have no choice but to pay a mandatory 20% gratuity. If Layla is going to automatically add a 20% tip, then they should ensure the service earns it--not simply collect it regardless of how poor the experience is.

I had reservations at El Dorado kitchen because they have an excellent breakfast selection. We were supposed to sit inside, but we got lucky and we were able to sit outside on the patio which was perfect because it was a beautiful day.

For breakfast we had the Short Rib Hash and Chilaquiles dishes. We wanted the Buttermilk Waffle with bananas and whipped cream but thought it might be too much for our main breakfast so we saved it for dessert our way of accommodating our sweet tooth!

Just got here today on a little foodie tour we decided to embark on and we are off to a great start. Asked around and we ended up at a small and local family owned Italian restaurant, Della Santina's! This family go back quite awhile here in the Marin and Sonoma Valley areas and have been cooking Tuscan style home made Italian dishes and man you can really taste and see the quality. It was a short walk from our hotel and upon arriving, we were seated in their back garden area pretty quickly. Was very quaint and the atmosphere and service was excellent. After a bit we ordered some excellent wine, took in the evening specials and placed our order. It is important to note the hat all the pasta is made fresh daily on premises, no box pasta here and the sauces are also made fresh daily as well and most to order which is amazing. On this occasion, we stuck to the home made pasta dishes, Lasagna Bolognese and Veal Pasta Special which were both delicious and their home made minestrone soup was out of this world. We really enjoyed our meal and it seemed like very one around us was having a great time as well. Rounding the corner we ordered some excellent espresso and cappuccino to close out the evening. Overall, it was amazing and it shows when you know the owner is making rounds at all the tables in o make sure everything is as it should be. We will definitely be visiting again next time we are in Sonoma. If you find your self in the area and feel like some Italian you cannot go wrong with Della Santina's so make sure to check them out. Enjoy your trip and Bon Appétit mes amis!

Whether you're a visitor to Sonoma or a local, I highly recommend stopping in for a glass of wine and experience something truly memorable .

These might have actually been some of the best crispy potatoes I've ever had, they did them pretty perfectly. The Caesar salad was a little mayo heavy in some bites and anchovy heavy in others, dressing could have been mixed a little better, but it was still good for the most part and a good portion too. I was glad we got the broccoli to have another vegetable, but didn't love the sauce on it. It didn't really go with what we were eating, and just felt like it could've been rounded out a little more.
