Everyone was happy with their sandwiches, the ingredients seemed of high quality. My wife was raving about the bread and pesto on the smoked turkey.

Ordering was easy. You get a pager to let you know when your order is ready. The cashier was really friendly and helped to get our order right. The decor is cool, farmhouse type look. I would definitely stop in again if in the area.

The staff is super attentive and genuinely excited by the food. The wine list is small but worthy. Try the Bloodroot Cab, velvety smooth. The food is outstanding, with the roasted chicken being my favorite. This dish had warm flavors that were savory and delicious. The polenta lasagne was hearty and flavorful. The caesar salad was huge, it was tangy, creamy, and had some crunchy bits. The corn soup special was also hearty and comforting in a great way. Dessert was the homemade brownie with caramel and real whipped cream. Yum. There is nothing better than food with fresh ingredients served by kind people, highly recommend.

There were 5 of us and every single plate was amazing - definitely all were 5 star meals! We also had dessert and, just like always before, it was incredible. We had the bread pudding and the strawberry crisp. Both were worth coming back for. Also, we thoroughly enjoyed the live music by Jeremy Lipson. What a great guy - very personable, welcomed requests, and his voice and talent were beyond good. Needless to say, we had a wonderful evening and will definitely be going back there again and again. And no...we are not affiliated with this restaurant in any way. I am just stating an opinion! Sorry, I forgot to take pictures, but I sure wish I had done so because the presentation was also beautiful.

We ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, onion rings, and an order of fish and chips, alongside two flavored lemonades. Chicken was unremarkable--unseasoned, not marinated; unfortunately a bland and slightly tough piece of chicken. Came on a nice brioche bun with the caramelized onions being the best part of the dish (and meal). Our fish and onion rings were overly greasy. The fries were tasty and seemed fresh but unsalted and wilted beneath the fish and could have been crispier. My partner thought the sweet flavored lemonades were from a mix and there was no pulp. No pics. Seems the de rigueur order here is chicken wings, which we don't order. Would be a great place to hang with friends for drinks and conviviality; very casual vibe. But foodwise, our experience was very middle-of-the-road.

Nightingale Breads have been on my to try list for a bit. Not sure when I bookmarked this place,…read morebut it was a convenient stop on the drive home! It's a very small shop with a big counter space for ordering and displaying their pastries and bread. It looks like their work area may be behind the counter so to prevent inside crowding, a limited amount of people go in at a time. On Sundays, they have scones! So I ordered a Strawberry Pistachio scone to try and we picked up two Small Chocolate Thimbles to try. For take-home bread, we bought the Forestville French Baguette, Sesame Epi Baguette, and a Country Bird. We also picked up a tea cake to enjoy at home. I can only review the scone and Thimbles since at the time of this review, this is what I've tried. The Strawberry Pistachio scone was not too sweet, which is great. I like how the pistachio bits add flavor to it, kinda wish they added more pistachio. I'm not sure I personally like the strawberries since they're kinda mushy, but my partner really liked the addition of strawberries because it's like adding cream to a biscuit and this scone was more like a biscuit than a scone (in our opinion). It's buttery, airy, and light, but it's pretty good! I think the Thimbles were better though. I can only describe it as a fudgy brownie with a thin crusty outer layer. What a decadent little treat! I can see why this is a local favorite! Their pastries are delicious. I can't wait to see how the bread tastes like and I'm glad we stopped by to pick up some goodies! Service was really friendly and they even have free stickers up in the front!

The line was out the door and took a while to get in, but once we made it inside the small space, we were greeted kindly by the staff and treated to great-looking bread and pastries. We picked up a baugette, a seeded loaf, a pluot tea cake, and some chocolate thimbles. The chocolate thimbles are truly amazing, and I would come back to get a thousand of those. They are like the best brownie you've ever had in a little bite-sized delight. The bread was also good- on par with many other small local bakeries I have visited. The pluot cake was very nicely done with great texture and fresh pluot topping. It would have gone great with some vanilla ice cream. I'd imagine Nightingale Breads is the type of place where everything is delicious. I don't think you'll miss here.

Missing a key flavor in the dough: it advertises as sourdough, but it is missing sour taste. I think the dough needs way longer fermentation. A couple parking spots in lot, but plenty of street parking. Weekend lunch, plenty of seating, went with the patio. The patio space is lovely, I really enjoyed the space. Staff were really patience and helpful. Order the Hen in the vineyard ($28) and cosmic combo Signature aka combo ($29) Pizza. Get their DIPS! The Hen in the vineyard is a lemon chicken with lemon feta, onion, grape spread, and thyme. Has a bit of sweet and savory. Unfortunately my table did not taste any lemon flavor and the lemon chicken could be tender. The cosmic combo was pretty good, but still missing sourdough flavor. One thing I did like is their dips: ranch dressing and pepperoncini & preserved lemon. Ranch has a possibly cucumber/spinach component which was tasty. The pizza are visually pleasing, but I've had better pizza in the Bay Area. The pizza dough is flavorless, not very airy and not very sourdough.
