    meat lovers pizza
    Courtney C.

    Love the intimate feel and searing of this restaurant. We had the burrata which comes with tomato and was amazing. The meat lovers pizza was also great, the bacon was crispy on it and the ingredients tasted high quality. Service was very fast and accommodating. Love coming here!

    Love visiting sonoma and you must experience eating at swiss restaurant at least once. the service was pretty quick. We got lucky to sit right away probably easy for a table for 2. Good date place or come visit with friends. The ambiance is moderately noisy. It's good for groups and spacious so expect the chatter. The food was great! We both enjoyed our steak and lovely bottle of wine and ofcourse coffee and dessert! Belissimo!

    Rotini Bollinaise and a dish on the special menu which was spaghetti, mushrooms, onions and sirloin tips.

    We saw a billboard for this restaurant and looked it up. This place is is a hidden gem! We had the rotini bollinaise and a dish on the special menu which was spaghetti, mushrooms, onions and sirloin tips. Both items were absolutely delicious! Our waiter was pretty great too!

    This is my second time here. Last summer, we ate in the front patio with Cako, but this time my friends and I ate in the back patio. It's nice in the back though the heater closest to us wasn't working but what the heck. Good food and friends is what it was about. The fried cheese ravioli was delicious! I should've had another for dinner! I also had the clam chowder since it was chilly and it was good! Since we had been drinking of the grape all day, I had the rigatoni bolognese....soooo good! The ladies had the pan roasted rosemary chicken which they loved. We also had the chocolate cake which went great with the rest of the wine. It was a great way to end the day! Service was attentive but not intrusive which I like. We got to chat with the owner which was nice! Until next time!

    We stopped by to eat here after a morning of wine tasting in Calistoga. The service was very good and the food was decent. My brother had went in to ask for a table in the back patio since we had a dog with us and he had mentioned to the hostess that we had a dog. She made arrangements for us to go to the back patio to eat but upon waling back there we saw another family had their great pyrenees at their table with them and the hostess then told my brother that I had to tie my dog up outside..next to this dog that I didn't know and many feet away from the table she was seating us at. She said that dogs are not allowed inside of the back patio but had to be tied up outside. Uh..no thanks. Unless you are willing to pay for the vet bill if the dog that is 5xs the size of my dog decided to do something to her then I rather not just tie my dog up outside. My boyfriend and I opted to go to the front patio, which is VERY DOG-FRIENDLY by the way. They even gave her a water bowl and many dog treats. Bread was served and our orders were taken very quick. The waitress was very attentive and made sure to keep checking in on us. To add, she was the only waitress working in the front and her service was better than any other place I had been too AND she was working 7-9 tables alone. I ordered the seafood pappardelle ($22 I think) and it was very delicious. The scallops and shrimp were so fresh and the sauce was not too heavy. My dad told me he ordered the salmon which came out served with some kind of hair on it (...uhh that's appetizing) and my mom's ravioli was overpriced for the amount she was served. I don't think i would return here because it was not that interesting to me. The service was good but the food options were just meh.

    My Sonoma Square Itinerary... Lunch at The Fig (The Girl & The Fig). A Glarifee @ The Swiss (The Swiss Hotel). Random Wandering around The Square. Dinner @ EDK (El Dorado Kitchen). Or... Dinner @ The Fig. A Glarifee @ The Swiss. Or... Dinner @ EDK. A Glarifee @ The Swiss. Ah, the fabulous, fabululous Glarifee. A cold coffee drink that is uniquely The Swiss Hotel's. It's a very old, secret, family recipe. And I think everyone should have one. A family member makes a batch everyday. No one else knows what exactly goes into it. Oh, the mystique! This establishment is old & old school. Sit inside or out on the porch overlooking the square. Since I've never eaten here, I can't comment on the food. But I do know that they've revamped the menu. About a year ago I was told by the bartender that they were working on stepping it up a notch. It's not a visit to the Square without a stop here. For a Glarifee. 4 stars.

    pizza #4: salami, olives, artichoke hearts
    Liz W.

    This place is adorable, and my girls and I ate in the sunny back patio last week during our wine tour. They start you off with freshly baked bread and olive oil/vinaigrette, which we scarfed down. My friend and I shared pizza #4 which had salami, olives, artichoke hearts, and cheese on it. I think it's more than enough pizza to share between two girls. I'd give it a 3 star rating because the olives were intensely salted and it was a little overwhelming. My other two friends shared pizza #2, and I would have to give that 4 stars. Their pizza was delicious and the mushrooms were so good and fresh! I also tried a bite of my friend's roasted eggplant sandwich which was absolutely disgusting, but the pulled pork sandwich was delicious! The caramelized onions added a great flavor, and the bread was crunchy/soft/toasted to perfection :)

    We have one recommendation: go and get a Glarafee cocktail, and make sure to ask the bartender to tell you the story of the drink.

We loved everything from the food, chic ambiance to the charm of the place that makes it seem like a special place. The restaurant hearing upon my little one celebrated her fourth birthday last week, whipped up a hand written birthday card welcoming her to the restaurant (pic for reference). The staff was so friendly and patient with my chatty elder one too. Overall, it was a great experience and opened up our Sonoma trip well. Gave us a great impression on the hotel too. Oh, the food. I almost forgot. We had a little bit of everything. But two things I wanted to point out - contrary to what is out there, they DO have a kids' menu and do give you one as a part of their coloring book. Second, the steak was great. Being an aspiring vegetarian, I don't say this too often, but the steak was darn good. Our server made him feel like an adult and waited on him as well. He was very proud of himself - thank you for that touch!

I don't understand why but we asked to move and ended up sitting elsewhere. Food was not good. Steak was practically raw when we asked for medium rare and took a long time to recook. The short rib tasted like airplane food. Had high expectations as we do like his other restaurants. Will not be returning.

    My goto dinner spot in Sonoma…read more I actually have been here multiple times and I don't know what has taken me so long to post a review but the Girl and the Fig is definitely the truth. When you enter you'll notice a more homey decor to the place. Warm colors all around and even warmer service once you sit down. Every single experience Ive had here is been nothing less of 110%. Theres always this good balance professionalism with lightheartedness that pair so well for the atmosphere. Because at its core this restaurant is high scale. It definitely has that higher scale vibe but if never comes off as pretentious though. This particular I took my wifey here for our 10th year anniversary together. And we were greeting by a nice little card from the "Fig Family." We ended up trying the Seared Halloumi and I was shocked at how much I liked it. Very light flavors but still enough variety with the crispy spigarello and pine nuts to keep things fun. The lemon never feels too overwhelming. For mains my wife got the Mushroom RisottoI think? Or maybe it was Butternut Squash Risotto? I got the Fig Burger and both were amazing. The only reason I didn't get her Risotto was simply because I already had it at lunch time, but that still didn't stop me from taking a bite. Each rice like grain had a perfect chew and flavor to each bite. Even being the picky person that I am with veggies, I appreciated the veggies addition to the dish. I still think though that the sure winner was my Fig Burger. This burger is everything we wish our local breweries burger was. A harmonic balance between salty and sweet. Im down to get a little crazy with burgers but if it's too sweet, it kinda loses the appeal for me. It takes away too much from the burgers roots. So yea. Go here. Make reservations too. I know for myself I made mine about a month in advance so it's hard to say how hard it is to get a table here. But hopefully it's not too bad. Parking by the way is just street parking. Despite that Ive always been able to get a park on W Spain St right before I pull up to the restaurant. OH! And thanks again Girl and the Fig family! You made the end to our anniversary quite magical!

The staff were super attentive even though they were very busy and they were also very friendly. The food was delicious, my wife and I got a large Sonoma Pizza and a mixed green salad to share. Before we even got to the pizza, that was the best green salad I've ever had. Simple, yummy, especially the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. I am a pizza snob, and with the exception of Mountain Mike's, I can't stand any of the big chains. The Sonoma pizza had the perfect balance of pepperoni, salami, mushrooms, onions and garlic. The restaurant was also impeccably decorated, with a splash of Italy and Sonoma Wine country represented. Every dish they walked by made my mouth water. We definitely be going back again and again, especially when we head out that way for wine tasting.

    I was missing the pizza's we used to get here, or was it just a wisp of something else?…read more My Wife ordered us a small cheese, large Pepperoni and what I was hoping for was their Greek and Family Salad. The look on my wife's face, said it before the boxes were even on the Kitchen Table. To begin with the Greek Salad was nothing but greens with little or nothing extra, barely Artichoke Hearts, Cucumbers and any Pepper Slices, no olives or Feta... enter dressing was lacking any true flavor, nothing of what I expected for the money. Next came my expectations......gone, we paid extra for Feta and Cheese, neither could be bee seen evenly through the whole pie. The sauce and cheese inconsistency was baffling... why would anyone claim that this was anything that Little Ceasars couldn't easily beat, seemed that quality had been replaced with "Just get it out the door". The final two pies were so substandard that I could Hardly compare them to anything worthy of Jacobs name. I'd give this places 1/2 Star if I could. The owners should be ashamed of selling this.

The evening kicked off with Oysters on the Half Shell--each one a little oceanic gem--paired with a Champagne Mignonette that whispered sophistication and a Cocktail Sauce that thankfully didn't scream spice.

The Tomato Ragu was rich and comforting, while the Mussels and Clams were so good I half-expected them to thank me for eating them. The Calamari? Eh, not their finest hour. Scallops were impressively plump, but the Crab was playing hard to get. The Prawns, however, were unapologetically large, and the Bruschetta on top was the culinary equivalent of a mic drop. The service and vibe? Perfectly chill, with just the right amount of nostalgia. Honestly, I was amazed this gem of a location is still standing tall. If you're looking for seafood that'll make you swoon--and maybe question your pants size--this spot is worth every bite.
