    Solid 4! Could be five but there is not much for customer service and their erp system still asks for a tip. Close to a 5 as everyone there is super friendly but good luck getting a refill lol. Food: the food was great ! The pizza was made to perfection. The wings were mad decent. I was shocked they came out so fast. This is where they lost a point. The wings were definitely good but you can tell they went with low grade chicken. Still good food and flavor. Just please order premium or higher quality chicken. The people that work here are very nice. Just don't expect a whole lot of customer service. The views are very nice. That alone is five stars. I would definitely come back.

    Huge space, lots of seating, fun games and a photobooth and amazing views! We ordered the shroomer pizza and fried Brussel sprouts to share. That was the best mushroom pizza I've ever had, I liked that they used a variety of mushrooms, the pesto drizzle really sealed the deal for it. And they do not skimp on the cheese! The Brussel sprouts had amazing flavor, the hot honey was very prominent, I just wished they were a bit crispier. They have a huge selection of beer on tap and other drinks in cans, it was so hard choosing but I went with the you guava be kidding me and it was delicious, very crisp and light cider.

    A nice place for all age groups to have drinks, food, fun. Lots of outdoor space with activities for kids, families. A huge bar seating area and, indoor and outdoor seating. Has a casual vibe to the place. Infact the decor is so minimal that it feels that this whole place was done with the thought that - focus on what matters - the drinks, the food, the fun and the music AND omit the rest :-b The beers were chilled, next time we may come back for some food-appetisers & pizzas for me :) The place overlooks mountains and has a nice view. Parking is available on a few levels but can get packed coz the place being huge may not still offer enough spaces for all to park. We were here on a weekday evening and the place was still packed. Do give it a try when next time want to have a nice outing around Montgomery Drive.

    Nice space. Mostly a family place so expect kids everywhere. Bartender seemed unknowledgeable of everything. Didn't order food but the pizza looked good. Good for group events.

    Cutting to the chase, why the 4 stars? Yes it worth coming here. Parking absolutely sucks and it's not for a lack of spots. People park at the bottom of the hill near Montgomery and walk up. Happy for them. Means it's busy. But honestly you walk inside and the place is huge. Maybe so huge that it doesn't seem possible that all those cars are owned by people in the restaurant. We've been here twice before and left because we couldn't find parking. This time we found a spot. Lots were mostly full yet the inside and patios were fairly empty. Plenty of seats. Next reason not the service but the ordering app. Order through a QR code but you have to close out each time. So if you're getting multiple rounds you're closing out your tab every time. I find it inconvenient others may not. If there was a way to keep it open till we were done I couldn't see it. I've been hoping something would be done with the old Villa restaurant location. Really excited to have this place open and hopefully thriving. Korean wings were off the chart and their version of Hawaiian pizza was really good. They add jalapeños. Will have to remember that whenever we get Hawaiian pizza somewhere else. The space is massive and has a great bar areas and great outside sitting that's kid and dog friendly. Will we be back.... Yes..... if we can find parking.

    S E R V I C E: There's a bunch of seating outdoor and indoors, and on the tables there are QR codes for you to scan when you want to order drinks and food. It seemed pretty busy on a Thursday night, and almost every seat was taken. They have water bowls you can refill yourself for your dogs, and there's plenty of space for the kiddos to play around! F O O D: I didn't order snacks, my husband just ordered beer and I had their soft serve vanilla ice cream with a cone - which they never gave me. That is the only reason why I'm giving 3 stars because a server said they would, but they didn't. O V E R A L L: I could see families hosting an event in this space - if that's allowed? It would be a great idea! I'm glad there's another dog friendly place in this area!

    We came in Thursday evening after graduation, (less than an hour before closing) there was parking and several tables open outside by the ship. Ordered through the QR code and our food came out promptly and drinks even faster! We ordered Korean wings and a mushroom pizza. That Korean sauce on the wings was deeeelicious. They are connected wings so that took our adult kids a minute to wrap their brains around but once they did, they loved them! The pizza was well done, nice variety of meaty mushrooms. Pesto on top went very well. This was a great first visit to The Junction. Great to see what they did with the bones of the The Villa. First of many visits, I'm sure!

    What an outstanding spot! Beautiful setting, delicious food and lively atmosphere. It's a happening place to enjoy a meal and engage with your community. If you can find a parking spot, you're already ahead. This place is popular! And for good reason... the views are amazing and the food was legit. Indoor and outdoor seating options available with a very family friendly vibe. Once you are situated at a table, you order from the QR code at your seat. I had a pizza and salad... the crust was spectacular and the dressing was excellent. The beer options were impressive as well. My only feedback is that the outdoor patio has a gravel that generates a lot of dust as busy crowds traverse it... and the skeeball machines were out of commission. I imagine those would be popular if they were operational. Service was fast, the food was outstanding and there were lots of great seating options. This might be my new favorite spot in town!

    here's the good and not so good The good they've done a fabulous job of renovating the space taking full advantage of the amazing view. it's very modern. lots of various areas to sit inside and out games for the kids etc. we shared a couple pizzas that were really well made and tasty The not so good while they do have a lot of parking when they get busy it can be problematic. it was difficult to get printed menus. they wanted you to go on an app. You're kind of on your own to order your own food though we did get a waiter to help us. what surprised me the most was is they don't take cash. we were with a group of girls and we often bring cash to make it easier to split the bill but they don't take cash. that seems really odd I think it might be best for families with children. I'm not sure I'll be running back

    Amazing newly renovated spot with an wonderfully beautiful view! Its a big , modern space thats dog friendly outdoors. The food was so good it was truly 5 stars and we thought it was good service too! Everything we ordered tasted great especially the pizza some of the best in the area forsure! A negative was that its kid friendly place with playground area, so its swarming with families and kids literally running everywhere sometimes unsupervised. Im not against kids but It was too much. The parking lot gets crowded but we found a spot!

    After many years, it's nice to see this location brought back to life. The renovation is very different from what it was before. It's modern and family friendly. As expected, the place was packed. It felt like everyone in Santa Rosa showed up at once and the parking area isn't quite handling the volume yet. Between parking, getting inside and navigating the crowd to get a drink, it felt a bit overwhelming. Service was a bit impersonal, you order on your phone via QR code, I've seen a trend with newer restaurants doing this so not a deal breaker in my opinion. The few times we did interact with staff they were helpful. We ordered a pizza to share for food. To finish we had ice cream. The food was okay, nothing memorable but decent. The drinks were the top highlight, I had two cocktails and felt tipsy, so they are not skimping on pours. To close out, I want add a self centered detail I noticed... there are no mirrors in the restrooms. It feels like an unusual oversight for such a new renovation. The restaurant itself feels almost like a warehouse, I really wish it would have kept some of its old charm. Overall, I give The Junction 7/10 for a first impression, it's a beautiful space with a lot of potential. I really hope they figure out the whole parking situation. It feels a bit hazardous and chaotic at this time .

There's almost zero damping and no acoustic management whatsoever. It has the appearance of an attractive venue without the functional reality. It was incredibly painful with the voices of all the talking along with the music ringing in our ears. The conversations of people were amplified by the design of the facility to the point where they were competing with the fully amplified '90s band that I heard called joose. In addition, they appear to have no comprehension about how to actually create an appropriate acoustic management system. There are no damping systems, no soft surfaces, it's like they didn't even ask anybody who knows anything about anything about how to do acoustic design. It's entirely appearance based. We will never return here again for anything other than a cocktail or maybe a karaoke event. It was a waste of $20. Per person. We effectively paid $40 for a couple to be acoustically tortured for 2 hours. We kept hoping it would get better but it didn't I thought maybe once more people came in they might help but it didn't help they just got louder. I can't believe that nobody else has complained about this before.

However, these performers just lip sang and walked around collecting tips. Hardly any interaction with the crowd. The '3 course meal' was awful. First course was a small cinnamon bun and mini chocolate crossiant, second course was a tiny portion of french toast casserole and egg frita, and then dessert. It was all sugar- no protein, or fruit. Definitely felt like a rip off.

    We were here for a 21+ ticketed event with some friends. I purchased a friends ticket, and we had…read moreagreed my friends would cover 1 or 2 drinks for the night. When we first arrived, I joked to my friend while we were ordering, "First round is on you because of tickets, remember?" - no big deal. We ordered a few (honestly, pretty mediocre) drinks, sat down, and enjoyed a great cover band that played music I grew up with. The atmosphere was fun, people were dancing, and we met and chatted with a few friendly folks near the bar and nearby tables. Most people were definitely buzzed, some outright drunk. It's a 21+ event, after all. It was a fun time. The problem? I was ''cut off'' after only 2.5 drinks, as one had accidentally spilled. When I went to order another after dancing with a friend, I raised my hand in a silly, playful way and smiled while ordering. Apparently, that was enough for the bartender, an older white woman (Ellen, I believe her name was), to decide I'd had "too much." She seemed to think other people were buying me drinks, which wasn't true, only my husband and friend did. She could have easily confirmed that with me or with whoever she thought was buying the drinks, but instead, she relied solely on her own incorrect judgment. I was definitely not drunk or behaving inappropriately. Meanwhile, there were people around us who were visibly intoxicated; slurring, stumbling, and clearly having a good time. They kept getting served without issue. One particularly drunk man made one of my friends uncomfortable, yet nothing was said to him. The difference? He was an older white guy, while I am a person of color. What really got me was when a bouncer pulled me aside to check my ID AFTER I had already been at the event for hours. I had walked past him multiple times that night, as I had gone to the bathroom or just stepped outside with friends. I wasn't carded when I first entered, and clearly my age had not been an issue until that moment - because you know, It was a ticketed 21+ event. I had, as stated above, even ordered a drink when we first arrived. Being told I'd be kicked out if I was seen with another drink, despite being calm, respectful, and coherent, felt humiliating and unfair. No one else was pulled aside, yet anyone with eyes witnessed plenty of people who were clearly less than sober, if you know what I mean. I understand the importance of responsible alcohol service, but the inconsistency and bias in how it was enforced here was obvious. It is disappointing when a place that's supposed to be about fun and music lets staff's assumptions ruin someone's night. It felt less like "safety" and more like a snap judgment and doubling down on an assumption.

    This is based mainly on happy hour and the bar. The decor is truly lovely here, especially toward…read morethe evening, they have beautiful lighting throughout. Also on the weekends they've been known to have sone nice music accompanying the pretty lounge. The cocktails are average price, and tasty and there is an upscale vibe. If they improve the food and the comfort of the high top seat backs which are very low, I'd give a couple more stars. There's a menu that looks interesting and affordable with an Asian flair... but that's where the disappointment starts for me. It's lopsided with deep-fried, more protein, vs veggies, & plenty starchy items! We tried the panko crusted sliders, which we should have known meant the beef paddies would be deep fried. It was actually filling, but tasteless. It needed some onion or garlic aioli, slices of juicy tomato or something! We also got the chicken wings; again deep fried and in a sticky sweet Asian sauce that was tasty but very sweet. I did not try mains as they were on pricy side. We sat at the bar where service is ok, and better the more you order type of vibe.
