This place is so cute and the food is amazing. It feels very authentic. The service is amazing also and there's outdoor area and indoor.

Absolutely loved spread kitchen!!! Lebanese inspired cuisine in a casual setting. Super authentic food and extremely delicious. Try the dips! We also had the turmeric chicken grain bowl and wrap which were excellent. Highly recommend! Will definitely return whenever in Sonoma. read more

Delicious food! Enough said! Go! I know this Yelp review wants me to say more, so I will just say the Chicken Shawarma is Da Bomb! (That means it's yummy!) read more

I love SPREAD!! Cristina Topham is brilliant and her gorgeous Lebanese inspired food is always fresh and DELICIOUS! Her dips are my absolute go-tos! I honestly have never had better Lebna, muhammara or green tahini in my life! Her Za'atar chips and lemony dolmas are the bomb! There isn't an item on her menu, I haven't absolutely loved. Her mezze platter / displays are stunning, vividly (naturally!) colorful and a total crowd-pleaser. Reasonable prices, excellent customer service, and culinary professionalism in every way! (Oh and her baklava and chocolate tahini brownies are killer, too)! I'm salivating right now thinking about eating her food this Easter Sunday! ;) YUMmmmmm read more

I've been ordering Chef Cristina's meal kits since quarantine started and they NEVER disappoint. This time I had the smoked heritage pork pita kit and everything was so delicious. There was so much food, it probably could have fed 6 people instead of the advertised 4. My friend said "it's so obvious that every single component had thought and care put into it". We always order her Toum (garlic dip), Labneh, and extra hummus for the week. Other favorites are the mezze platter, chicken for the pita kits, and chickpea patties. Her food is always on point and so delicious. read more

Spread Catering - Grace and her pita kit - Mediterranean Near Me - Sonoma, California

In the past, I used Spread Catering for a very small catered event at my house. Everyone loved the boards, chicken and shrimp kabobs. Fast forward to this past Saturday. We ordered the turmeric chicken vegetable soup and the moussaka. We picked our preorder up at the Napa Farmers market without a hitch. That evening we heated the soup and moussaka up for dinner. All I can say is WOW! The moussaka was so flavorful and clean! I was yelling YUM with every bite. It was was that delicious. The chicken soup held its own as well. I believe I had chicken in every spoonful. I can't wait to see what's on the menu this week. I know one thing, I'll never forget that moussaka. read more

I crave this place once or twice per month... The baba ganoush is tangy. Anything paired with the pita bread is mouth watering! Yum! read more

Completely awesome food and outdoor dining "experience". The tasting/sample appetizer was however sparse for three people. Just not enough. That said my fatoosh salad augmented w falafel was the best I've ever had. The tahini brownie for dessert was great but once again small and served w no character. Like on a paper plate sort of. But really it's very special. Anyway the appetizers and desserts seem to need presentation enhancements and also to be slightly beefed up. Otherwise great. read more

How? How is her food so good? Tell me HOW, dammmmit?!?! It's like Cristina has somehow channeled the palates of her ancient Lebanese ancestors and created an array of tasty sensations that will convince you you've never had REAL Lebanese food until now. And once you try it, well, you too can battle the 4am cravings that can ensue after you've finished off her food and practically licked the containers clean and now find yourself inconsolable realizing you are now left to live in a world of boring normie food. Hey, you were warned. My fave game-changer highlights: Toum: You have got to be kidding me that something so great is even humanly possible. Try it and do yourself a favor and just order 4 more containers because you are going to want to put it in and on everything. I can no longer make my chicken soup without a hefty scoop of it. Damn you, woman!!! The Dips! Gah, the dips! Beirut Style Hummus (you will lose your mind!) Baba Ganoush (Umm, I detest eggplant and I can't stop eating this stuff) Muhammara (Brought this to a party and people were climbing over themselves to get a scoop of this gift from the Gods.) Green Tahini Sauce (welcome to your new everything topping) Green Shatta (Sweet Jesus on a bike is this stuff awesome!) The salads are ever-changing but I haven't had a bad one yet and her dressings pack a perfect punch of flavor, brightness and acidity that make my head spin in glee. I could seriously go on for days, but if you are curious about her offerings, order a pita kit, all the dips and an extra bag of pita or her pita chips, turn your phone off, smoke a bowl and be one with the world of edible perfection. You're welcome, world! read more

OMFG! Spread has the best baba ganoush ever. We have gotten every version of mezze platter they offer and love that we always have leftovers that last a few days. The pita kits are also worth getting. Don't worry about getting too much; most things lasted a couple of days and it's great to have around on the weekends. I also highly recommend any dessert that they make. From the tahini brownies (v) to the brown butter baklava you can't miss. read more

I have ordered from Spread Kitchen during the stay at home times and everything was always so good, Then Cristina ventured out and started serving her delicious dishes as take out at the Friday Farmers Markets in Sonoma. I finally got a chance to stop by and eat in at the Hwy 12 restaurant location. Absolutely delicious. I had the bowl, which lets you get a bit (large portion) of everything - you pick your protein. Definately need to try this Lebanese food. the spices and flavors are out of this world. read more

Just tried for the first time last night and we are love with her food! Went back for a repeat today, it was that good. Absolutely delicious! My husband and I are thrilled about our new favorite take out spot in Sonoma. We love her flavorful spin on these dishes, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Yay! read more

We share a commercial kitchen with Spread and Nick and the team are really awesome! They are super talented and clearly put a lot of love and attention in all of their food. My wife and I were fortunate enough to try one of their pita kits with chicken and everything was excellent. We especially loved their stuffed grape leaves and all of their excellent sauces like tzatziki and harissa. Highly recommend. Keep up the great work, guys!! read more

I'm sad to say I've never had Cristina's beautiful food, but I have to give her a thousand stars for her professionalism. We had another chef cancel on us last minute for a milestone birthday party with only two days' notice, and I reached out to Spread knowing that it would be a longshot. Sure enough, her team was already booked, but Cristina told me she'd be able to recommend some other chefs. WELL not only did she recommend other chefs, but she personally reached out to them to see who would be available and then looped them in on separate emails with me. I now have three potential leads and maybe this weekend won't be a flop after all. I can't remember the last time I saw someone be so generous with their time when a) they have never met me and b) they don't have any skin in the game. She truly must be a wonderful person, and I can't wait for the next time I need a personal chef--she'll be the first person I reach out to! Hopefully with more advance notice next time :) read more

We love Chef Cristina and the Team at Spread!! I have been ordering the pita kits and platters on and off during the 2020-21 Covid quarantine and I honestly wish I could eat from them 2-3 times a week. I am vegan and there are so many incredible and creative options for my dietary needs. I absolutely love the jackfruit shawarma pita kit the most. The garlic toum spread is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted, and the gluten free pita flatbread is better than any other bread I've tried - gluten free or not. I will continue to support this team and this business because their service is above and beyond, the food is unique and delicious, and they are local and an integral part of our wonderful small community. Thank you, Chef Cristina and Team Spread!! read more

The food was delicious. Loved that they had vegan entree options and a vegan brownie! The beet salad however, did not feel like the beets were the start of the dish, particularly because it didn't have as much beets as you would think, but it was delicious, nonetheless. read more

Do yourself a favor and pick up food from Spread at The Sonoma Farmers Market each Friday at Arnold Field, the food is amazing. Chef/Owner Cristina sources local and International products to include in her Lebanese inspired menus. The spreads are amazing! She also has pick up spots in Napa for your convenience. Enjoy, Sheana read more

Check out Spread, as Chef Cristina is an amazing chef. You can find her at the Sonoma Valley Farmers Market each week in Sonoma on Friday mornings at Depot Park. She is making Lebanese inspired foods, using locally grown and produced products. You will not be disappointment with the flavors she adds to her menu items. The whipped garlic spread is amazing! Enjoy, and she also delivers in Sonoma and sometimes Napa and Marin. Thanks, Sheana read more

Wow! I am leaving Spread feeling complete. Their salad and beef/lamb meatballs were unparalleled and their vegan, gluten-free tahini brownie was amazing! I will be back and am looking forward to trying their dirty fries which looked and smelled spectacular. Great backyard patio and very kind and helpful staff! read more

I absolutely love this new restaurant in Sonoma. The flavors and combinations bring a new twist on middle eastern favorites. I love the fact that all of the ingredients are locally sourced and the chef/owner can tell you where every single ingredient came from. Being more on the carnivore side I appreciate all the vegetarian options- this menu is great for clean & healthy eating - but there are some great dishes for meat eaters too! The back patio and garden are beautiful and shady - great place to linger and relax while enjoying an outstanding meal. Personally I love the back patio and would rather eat there than takeout. Also they have great local wine and beer options on tap. read more

Spread Kitchen is one of the very few places in Sonoma where you have wonderful, fun and delicious food at very reasonable prices in a very pleasant environment paired with really good and a very affordable interesting wine list. Most bottles are around $30 or less and are sourced from such interesting wine producers in places like South Africa and Lebanon. The owner/chef, Christina is a most welcoming hostess. I had the Chicken Shawarma wrap and my wife had the Chicken Shawarma salad. Both were the bomb. We had a bottle of Rose' from Lebanon that was a great pairing with the food. We started with the hummus plate with pita and pickled veges. They do outstanding pickled veges and they show up in almost everything. The hummus was rustic and good, but next time we are going to get the Dirty Fries. We saw other tables devouring them and they looked so good. Everyone leaves with a big smile on their face and usually with enough leftovers for lunch the next day as the portions are huge. Go and you will have a wonderful time. read more

We love Cristina and her team - we've hired them for several occasions and every time they go above and beyond in how they delight us. For a milestone birthday for my dad, the best gift I could give was time - he got to have time with his kids and grandkids while a delicious meal was prepared for us. It was stupendous! And no request is too big or too small. Her incredible staff made sure the glassware (which was ours) was all polished and elegant, gave seating advice, and staggered all the amazing bites and tastes perfectly. She gave great advice on the menu and ensured that personal preferences were honored as well as food sensitivities. Seriously - hire her. I'm was considering a few based on Yelp reviews and am so glad I did! And I came back and can't wait to hire her again! read more

The new restaurant in Sonoma is THE BOMB. All fresh ingredients and bright flavors. Lots of vegan and gluten free options as well. The best falafels I've ever had and the lamb kofta was delicious! Awesome dog-friendly patio, a great place to relax and hang out. Can't wait to come back with a group of friends! read more

For what it's worth. I had the pleasure of working for Cristina as a server while I was in between careers awhile back. I can vouch that she treats her staff very well and the food I​ had the pleasure of eating while on shift was always amazing. read more

Christina and Spread Catering are amazing! By far the best catering experience we've ever had. She does an amazing job of combining fresh local vegetables with amazing fish and meats. The flavors are over the top incredible and all meals were extremely healthy. Salmon, halibut, chicken curry, artichoke salad and desserts were all A+. In addition, Christina and Nick are very personable and fun. read more

Used Spread for a Christmas dinner party. Had food dropped off, ready to reheat. Everything warmed up perfectly, food was beautiful & flavors were vibrant & interesting. Huge compliments to the chef! read more

We hired Cristina for a birthday diner (6 people) and had a wonderful experience. Cristina was on time and very personable. I didn't arrange the diner, but my husband who coordinated everything with her said it a very easy to plan with her (she was very flexible and made several changes). We enjoyed 3 different appetizers, all different and very unique. Followed by a three course diner (halibut cooked to perfection). I really appreciated that the food not only tasted delicious with a subtle use of spices but was quite light. We will work again with Cristina for sure! All the guests were amazed by Cristina's diner. read more

Unbelievable food!!!! Great people, absolutely worth every penny. We had multiple meals and each one exceeded our expectations. From dinner an apps to breakfast.....wouldn't change a thing. read more

Loved the menu Cristina created for our milestone celebration. Spread Catering was wonderful to work with from beginning to delicious finish. Gracious service, beautiful presentations, and like having a dear friend you just met prepare you dinner. We will definitely use her again! read more

I have been using Cristina (now Spread Catering) for about a year now. Cristina has done events ranging from smaller, more intimate dinners to large scale parties. That being said, she has an excellent sense of exactly what type of fare is appropriate for a wide variety of situations. Cristina also has also made it incredibly easy to host large scale events. She was quick to hone in on our needs and now something that was daunting is pretty effortless. As a result we entertain much more often. Her staff is always on point, the food is always beautifully presented and delicious. She focuses on seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, something that is very important to us. One thing that Cristina absolutely nails is wine paring. I actually have given her full control over choosing wine for everything she does for us- guests have repeatedly been impressed with the selection and made sure to let us know. We have had her pick up several cases of a few select wines for our cellar. Clearly she has an excellent palate and I would encourage anyone to have her choose the wine, you will not be disappointed. I will most certainly be using Spread Catering again in the very near future. Cristina has been a breath of fresh air to work with and I am always looking forward to what she will create next. Some my all time favorites are her lamb and fig tagine, harissa rubbed halibut with preserved lemon and her port poached pears. Everything is so bright, so clean- so good! read more

We absolutely love working with chef Cristina at Spread catering! From the beginning she is a rock star to work with, design the menu and quick to respond. Her team on site is amazing and on it, professional and kind. The food... Oh my goodness the food! Presentation is everything, flavor is out of this world! As an event planner we would encourage anyone to book with Spread catering! read more

Cristina was absolutely fantastic. She catered a 13 person dinner for us in Mendocino, and was super flexible when it turned out we had a miscommunication about the location and it was much further away than she expected. She really went the extra mile to be there for us and make sure we had a good night. The dinner was phenomenal, and all of our guests kept saying how delicious and memorable it was. It was just fantastic. It was also super fun to design the menu with her. I recommend working with Cristina and Spread Catering without hesitation, and if I ever need catering services in the area again she will be my first choice. Cristina, you are such a lovely person, and thank you so much for such a lovely dinner! read more

Cristina (Spread Catering) is the best! As a client, I always feel like she listens to my needs, takes feedback very well, is flexible and best of all, she is just a pleasure to be around. She has worked on yachts and in kitchens all over the world. I even randomly saw her on Guy's Grocery Games one night!! Her passion for life and exploration is evident in her work and shows in the varied cuisines of the world she is able to prepare. If there's something she doesn't know, chances are she'll learn! You would not be making a mistake hiring her for events large or small. read more

Cristina is an AMAZING chef! Everything she makes is so delicious and beautifully plated. Plus, she is a true professional who is calm under pressure and makes any party unique and special. Some of my favorite dishes she has made are Lebanese: homemade Zaatar bread, meatballs, Foul Mudammas--I never knew Lebanese food could be so flavorful and exquisite! But she is also really great at desserts (she once made me a chocolate caramel tart that was TO DIE for), gorgeous salads (watermelon, mint, feta with sunflower greens, pistachios), and pretty much everything else. Her menus are inventive, based on seasonal ingredients, and truly scrumptious. read more

Cristina and her team did a great job! Cristina's food was amazing...our guests are still talking about the elegant and delicious meal for my husband's 50th Birthday dinner! Especially the potato and duck bacon appetizer and the Chicken Roulade main course!! The wine pairing was perfect and appreciated by all. The presentation was excellent and the service outstanding! I highly recommend Spread Catering...Cristina and team are top notch. Thank you Spread Catering for making Barry's Birthday dinner so special. read more

Cristina catered a surprise dinner party to celebrate my husband's retirement a couple of weeks ago. We were 14 people and everyone loved the food and excellent service Cristina and her assistant provided. The dinner was Greek style and all the dishes were absolutely delicious and truly farm-to-table. I will definitely call on Spread Catering again the next time I am looking for a catering service and I have no hesitation to highly recommend Cristina and her catering service. You will not be disappointed! read more

We visit the area for a girls weekend every other year and always find a special restaurant for dinner one of our nights in town. There are 11 of us in the group, so it can be a challenge to find something that works for everyone. This summer our 'restaurant committee' found Spread Catering and we don't think we ever need to do a dinner out again. Cristina and her team came to our rental home, prepared an amazing meal, and left the kitchen looking better than when they arrived. The food was fresh, local, beautifully prepared and delicious (the mezze platter was full of homemade deliciousness - would highly recommend it as a starting point). Cristina was very accommodating of our special requests and knew what would work best with this size group. Our time that has previously been wasted waiting for Uber, waiting at the restaurant for our table, waiting to settle the bill, waiting to get home, etc. was instead enjoyed floating in the pool while the meal was organized and then sitting table side enjoying each others company while it was cleaned-up. I highly recommend Cristina and her team at Spread Catering to anyone looking for a better than restaurant meal - both in terms of convenience and taste. read more

We had spread catering cook for a private birthday dinner for four couples at our rental house while on vacation in Healdsburg, CA. We highly recommend their services! Cristina prepared a thoughtful, unique menu for us and she was excellent about working around food allergies in the group, and other restrictions. The meal was a Lebanese BBQ. Everything from the appetizers to the dessert was fantastic. Her deviled eggs with caviar were incredible, the grilled meats were amazing, and there was an awesome chopped salad that everyone loved. You could tell that she put so much thought and effort into the whole experience. She even had custom menu cards printed for us, and decorated them with fresh lavender sprigs, so the table looked beautiful too! If you are looking for an amazing dining experience with exceptionally friendly service you will not be disappointed with Cristina and Spread Catering. read more
