    Fine dining in historic casual atmosphere. The food and vibe are excellent. I mean that.

    Anchovy Toast
    Cynthia A.

    I came here during happy hour, and it was definitely worth it. The happy hour offerings were great, and I really enjoyed the overall ambiance. It had a cozy, speakeasy vibe that made the experience feel a bit more special. There is outdoor seating available, but I chose to sit inside since it was very warm that day. I tried the anchovy toast, which was unique and flavorful, but definitely not for everyone (you really have to love anchovies to fully enjoy it.) The oysters were fresh and delicious, easily one of the highlights of the meal. I wasn't a big fan of the potato skins. The confit filling had a texture that reminded me a bit of refried beans, which wasn't quite what I expected. On the other hand, the fried Brussel sprouts were fantastic with the right amount if crisp, comforting, and packed with flavor. I could have easily ordered a second round and made a meal out of them. I also really enjoyed the skewers. They were well-seasoned and satisfying. Overall, a great spot for happy hour with a fun atmosphere and some standout dishes.

    After a few visits between Nov 2025- Jan 2026, where it felt the food quality took a nose dive so I took a hiatus. I was told to go back in as they recently changed their menu for Spring (as they do every quarter to reflect the seasonal, fresh vegetables in harvest). So without hesitation, I made my way back in (because this is a spot I do want to succeed and we need in Penngrove). Majority of the menu are new items, which very much reflected spring - light, bright, and delectable. Happy to taste the quality is back to how it was when they first opened and looking forward to coming back in soon. My current favorites are the Flappers Delight cocktail, ceviche, and Spring Chicken Thighs.

    We tried everything on Happy Hour! Bang bang shrimp, Mac n Cheese, and beef skewers for the win

    We came here to celebrate our lucky 13th wedding anniversary, and I chose it specifically for the extensive happy hour menu. The options were phenomenal--not just cheap bar bites, but true small plates that felt like mini meals. I ordered everything food-wise off the happy hour menu and was impressed across the board. My cocktail was delicious flavor-wise, but the ice ratio was off. There was way too much ice, and I only got about four real sips out of it. Still, the quality itself was great. The staff really made the experience. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming--they treated me like a regular and were happy to answer all my questions about the cocktails and menu. Their warmth made the night feel extra special. Even during the week, many tables were reserved, which speaks to how popular this place is. We will absolutely be back, especially for happy hour. As someone who prefers eating earlier and loves small plates, this place is perfect for me.

    Duck Gravy Poutine
    Sarah E.

    Went here for NYE dinner and it was amazing! We started with the Duck gravy poutine which was great, im always on the give me more duck side of things so I wouldn't mind more meat in it. We had the special which was Prime Rib and also the Crispy Chicken Thigh. The prime rib was actually one of the best we have ever had, usually its very fatty and not great but this one was perfect. They are great for brunch too, just waiting for them to add Shrimp and Grits and a meal on the brunch and regular menu! Our server was AMAZING such a ray of sunshine.

    Cocktail menu

    I was in Petaluma for a night visiting my son who was there on business for a week. I came to stay with him and take him out to a nice dinner. When I saw 4.8 stars for The Grove on Yelp, I had to try it. A couple of the reviews mentioned Shrimp and Grits and that sold me. I knew I wanted that before I had even seen the menu. The location purports to be a speak easy, so a little incognito, if you're driving by on the road you might miss it. You need to walk down a driveway and enter through a door at the back rather than from the street side. Once inside, the place is lively, not a quiet place by any means. We had a reservation and were seated right away. Service was quick and friendly I ordered the Whiskey Business from the cocktail menu, it was yummy. For dinner, my son ordered the twin lobster tail from the nightly specials, I had the shrimps and grits appetizer as my main. Everything was delicious and service was top notch If I'm ever in the area again I would not hesitate to make this a definite stop.

    Duck Poutine
    Rachael M.

    My goodness this was insanely delicious. We came here to celebrate a birthday, and the interior was warm and cozy. Our server was lovely, and so accommodating and friendly. We ordered the duck poutine, the duck potatoes, the shrimp cocktail, and the broccolini. The duck gravy on the poutine was probably one of the most delicious things I've ever had in my entire life. I'll be thinking about this meal for a long time and I can't wait to come back.

    Fried chicken and sweet potato

    Such a nice surprise to discover in Penngrove. We were greeted warmly as we walked in the door. Our table had a window view. Our waiter could not of been kinder and WOW the food! We also got complimentary mimosas for Mother's Day. I had the Croque Madame. It was so delicious. My dining partners had the Sweet Potato waffle and fried chicken, the eggs, bacon and potatoes and she especially loved the fresh scrambled eggs. I recommend The Grove so highly for brunch and looking forward to coming back for dinner. A great Brunch experience.

    Chicken Bombas Happy Hour
    Shauna f.

    Went during happy hour and we were happy with the appetizers. Very good and different. Nice atmosphere and service was excellent.

    The bar
    Jeremy R.

    We wanted to go see the Penngrove tractor parade (fun) and needed a dinner spot to follow. Grove had great reviews and an interesting menu. Hostess and waitstaff were WONDERFUL, welcoming and helpful. The bar is a bit noisy but the atmosphere is congenial and cozy.. steak frites were delicious with tender steak and crispy shoestring fries. Duck poutine fries were disappointing in both portion size and quantity of duck. Delicata squash soup was very rich and tasty. Shrimp and grits were very tasty but once again portion sizes were a bit small. The big disappointment for the evening was the root vegetable salad which was a green salad with a few shaved root veggies scattered around. Overall, great service, decent food quality, fair value.

    Artichoke appetizer

    Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside speakeasy vibe was on point. Drinks were really well made. The artichoke appetizer was phenomenal. We were fighting over it lol. Steak and frites were very good too.

    Lovely interior
    Liza L.

    Service from Tanisha was outstanding! I went for the first time with my three neighbors, who are regulars. Everything was delicious. I was blown away by the creatively constructed, high-end menu at an affordable price! I ordered the Sole Dore which was delicious, but it wasn't a true Dore, which should be pan-fried in an egg batter. The sole was seared on its own & a little too crispy for such a delicate fish but I still enjoyed the mashed potatoes and lightly creamed spinach. It was tasty nonetheless! My fellow diners ordered the tiger shrimp spring rolls, chicken skewers, Fritto Misto, creamed corn, & fish tacos, some from the amazing happy hour menu & all were fantastic! Two bottles of Matanzas Sauv Blanc split between us which we enjoyed immensely. I can't say enough about Tanisha, she was incredible. I can't wait to go back. Please support this hidden gem in Pennegrove!!

    McNears. Consistent with their food and drink and their Mardi Gras menu proved it. I'm not sure…read moreif they will always have these specials but we celebrated Mardi Gras and they had an extensive offering of New Orlean style food for the celebration. The gumbo was superb, creamy, with chunks of sausage and not too spicy nor salty just the right amount of herbs & spices, very tasty. Then we ordered the fried chicken dinner another winner. And the third dish was the broiled shrimp, the shrimp were bathed in a buttery, garlic and other Cajun seasoning and herbs, just perfectly cooked and the toasted, diagonally sliced bread was perfect to dunk and sope up the flavorful sauce. The Presentation was spot on, service was fantastic, food arrived promptly. They even offered Beignets a standard New Orleans dessert but we were too full, I'm still thinking about them. I like that there is a host greeting and guiding one into the restaurant or the large bar area. McNears is an anchor of Petaluma. Good pub food, great service and welcoming employees. It's a must stop for a big or small meal and definitely a good beverage at the bar. I just love this place.

The garlic aioli was a little overpowering for me so I would opt to skip next time. We also ordered the fiesta salad. The chipotle dressing was excellent and tied all flavors together well.

    There's something about Brixx that just instantly put me at ease, like I had been there a hundred…read moretimes before even though it was one of my first visits. Right in downtown Petaluma, it has that warm, lived-in, family-run energy where you can tell people genuinely care, not just about the food but about you having a good time. The whole place buzzes in the best way, with that comforting mix of laughter, conversation, and the smell of pizza that hits you before you even sit down. We ordered the Uncle Vido and the spicy Hawaiian, and I am still thinking about both. The crust had that perfect thin, slightly crispy bite but did not fall apart under all the toppings, which feels like an art form. The Uncle Vido was rich and savory in that "one more slice, okay one more" kind of way, while the spicy Hawaiian totally surprised me. Sweet, salty, and a little kick of heat, just chaotic enough to be addictive. You can tell they are not just throwing pizzas together here. Everything feels intentional and dialed in. What stuck with me most was the feeling walking out. Full, happy, and already talking about coming back. It is the kind of place that reminds you why supporting small, family-run California spots actually matters. Brixx does not just make great pizza, it makes you feel like you found your place.

    The pizza is a thin crispy crust. The taste is delicious. No gluten free crust options though.read more
