    Tuna tartare

    This restaurant is cute and cozy inside, with amazing food, and great service. I highly recommend visiting!

    Semi-open kitchen concept
    Kate K.

    Nestled in the historic downtown Sonoma Square, Valley has a sleek appearance, esthetically pleasing decor with semi-open kitchen concept, and exceptional waitstaff. Farm to table menu changes slightly depending on season and what is available. 4-5 items were recommended for a party of 3 and that all dishes were complementary of each-other (unfortunately that was not our experience based on it in the photo- flavors were poppin but each dish was vastly different flare culturally). Really appreciated that they are very allergy considerate as the host was aware, who let the server know, and the server confirmed with our table- love close loop communication. If needing to use the washroom, be aware there is only one and a line may form when dining inside.

    Nice brunch spot in the Sonoma plaza area and they have an outdoor patio in the back that allows dogs. We sat outside for two people and there were plenty of seats when we came on a weekend. I got a glass of white wine and ordered a chicken salad sandwich. The bun was softer than I expected and was a bit sweet almost like a brioche bun. The sandwich was pretty good and I was full after, but it didn't come with any sides so you would need to order something else if that isn't enough.

    Cute outdoor patio for brunch

    We loved Valley for brunch! The backyard patio is covered with many tables and benches for dining. Kid friendly and dog friendly. We shared the cold sesame-peanut noodles with spicy tofu and CA crispy rice with Dungeness crab and avocado. 10/10 for both!!!! Sesame peanut noodles were perfect without being too heavy, tofu seasoning was mildly spicy. Fresh cucumbers and colorful cherry tomatoes kept the dish tasting light. The crispy rice with its outer crunchiness and inner softness reminded me of one of my fav childhood crispy rice (Ci Gao) breakfast treats in my hometown in China. The Dungeness crab over the rice was a very decent portion and the combo with the creamy avocado and freshness of the micro greens and cucumbers made this plate my personal favorite. Perfect with my glass of the CA chenin blanc :) Excited to come back again the next time I'm back in Sonoma.

    I was there last night with a friend. The dishes we had were way too heavily salted. Almost like a mistake but on all...ingredients and techniques were so good. I don't know what was going on with the salt. We were so disappointed.

    Pork shop, mandarin slaw
    Ginevra A.

    We ventured in one night recently - I somehow didn't connect the dots that this was the same owners as Valley Swim bar, which we've been to a few times, until the end of the meal. We sat in the heated patio - it was a little chilly - but I was at first impressed by the menu. It looked so good and inventive and I joked that I felt I could make a meal of all of the sides. The only thing I'd say is I did have to guess how to order as far as portion size. It looked to be split up by snacks apps, entrees and side and shareable but I think we did over order. There were three of us and we chose 2 apps, 2 entrees and two sides - or what I thought were those "plates". Dungeness Crab roll - like a lobster roll. My partner loved it - I'm just such an east coaster I prefer blue crab. Burrata with nettle pesto - pretty yum. Liked the idea of the nettle pesto - totally unique Pork chop - this was delish. Perfectly cooked and the accompaniment hit all the marks. Mandarin slaw and a type of chimichurri Roasted chicken was good with a green tahini sauce Carrots and a type of spring onion as a side. I loved the carrots. Service was good, although I think they might have been a bit busy for the amount of people on the floor. Interesting wine list. The only one bathroom inside is a bit hard to handle and at one point there was a pretty long line I'm looking forward to coming back

    Poached eggs and toast which

    It's a cute place but the menu is very small. The one thing I wanted was the salad, however the chef refused to let me have the dressing on the side. Salad is my go to order whenever I'm at restaurants and I've never once been told they can't put the dressing on the side. This chef must have some ego. I ended up getting poached eggs with toast which was good.

    The morning spot in Downtown Sonoma to grab a quick breakfast! Stopped by right at opening and already had six people in line! Valley is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I ordered their Bodega Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich and opted to add the bacon. I asked for the bacon crispy which they said it normally comes that way; it was not and was definitely very fatty. The ingredients were super fresh but sandwich is messy with the egg is fried. Also, there is siracha on the sandwich which wasn't listed. If you aren't a fan of spice, I'd ask for it without. I also ordered the Dona Rose Cardamom Chai as a Latte which they said they could do but then gave me a regular latte. I was able to try my husband's Chai and it had great flavor! Everything was good overall but wish the barista/menu had a bit more clarification.

    Trout roe
    Kenzie G.

    This was an interesting experience, is the nicest way I can say it. I can tell they are trying to create something special with their food but it missed the mark. The trout roe was overly fishy, which maybe I was just not a fan of, never had it before. The pork chop was delicious but the vegetables sides were all pickled and way too salty. There was celery in the mix which is all water, which means it was all vinegar for this dish. Overwhelming taste that was mellowed slightly by the sauce but it was just too much. Finally the bread pudding was confusing with a yellow passion fruit topping that argued with the warm milky, bready cinnamonness of bread pudding. Just way too tangy.

    Potato salad
    Maura C.

    Had a good experience here! Valley is a smaller restaurant with a really welcoming vibe. My husband and I shared a number of plates and we really enjoyed our meal! The salad and rice and carrots in particular were really good! I loved the wine selection they had here and our server was really helpful in helping us pick out which dishes to order. I would return again if I'm in town!

    We had a private dinner in the upstairs room. The staff were great with curating the menu and also giving different wine recommendations to pair with each dish prior to the event. Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the food and wine.

    Dessert menu
    Emily C.

    We had a reservation for 7:30pm but came around 5:30pm to ask if they had any openings and luckily they did. The restaurant is an intimate setting and the tables had small plants and real candles to set the mood. Since Chinese New Year is around the corner, their menu had some Chinese inspired flavors. Dan Dan noodles had a good amount of meat with noodles but were too peppery for my liking and overpowered the other flavors in the dish. The black cod with leeks and ginger was delicious, the fish was buttery smooth and the ginger and sauce went well with it. The server recommended the sticky rice to pair with the cod which was a good call even though it wasn't like traditional sticky rice. Although the portions were small given the price, the dishes were tasty. For dessert, we tried the olive oil cake with sour cream and preserves and it was nice sweet treat to end the meal. Server checked in on us multiple times and refilled our water but took our dishes without asking if we were done. I'd consider coming back depending on the menu for the given day because it changes regularly but it is on the pricer side for essentially fancy Chinese food.

Located just steps from Sonoma Plaza, there is street parking all around, but we took the complimentary shuttle from our hotel which is very convenient for a day of sipping bubbles. SIGH does not take reservations (first come, first served) but we had no trouble snagging a prime spot at the bar on a Friday afternoon. Morgynne was our server and super knowledgeable, giving detailed descriptions of wines we tried, and was patient with us, taking our sweet time enjoying our glasses and documenting our visit. I had the Champagne Flight ($35) and the #YEShusband had the Rosé Flight ($25). The Champagne flight included pours of: Champagne G.H. Mumm Grand Cordon Brut, Champagne Monthuys Brut, and Champagne Château de Bligny Grande Réserve. The Rosé flight included pours of: Cuvée Françoise, Langlois Brut Rosé, and Lucien Albrecht Brut Rosé. We also ordered some additional post-flight glasses of the Schramsberg Mirabelle Blanc de Blancs and Lucien Albrecht Brut Rosé to cap off our time at SIGH. Everything about SIGH is top notch: from the selection of bubbles ranging from California noteables to European standouts, to the curated decor and vibes, this is a must stop when you're in Sonoma. Thank you to Morgynne and the whole SIGH team for a memorable visit-we will definitely be back!

You feel the warmth when you walk in. Carlo was a very kind and charming tasting room manager. He knows the wines, grapes and regions very well and captivates you with each story of the bottle he is pouring. He even explains the glassware. There are 3 different wine flights to try and you can taste by the class. The bar can also accommodate a flight that suits your preference. I was looking for an all red flight, and Carlo happily created one for me that I would for sure enjoy. For Designated Drivers, there are two non-alcoholic sparkling wines from Italy to try so no one feels left out. The tasting menu has light bites to complement the wines such as a charcuterie board, cheese plates, and chips. Carlo lets you know what goes well with the wine you're having. And for after tasting, a variety of coffees. The wines I tried were all delicious. I purchased 3 bottles. (Note: You can ask for a "dump bucket" but you don't need one because the wines are very good.) 1. Old Vine Rosé - So good and very popular that they have it on tap! 2. Whole Hog - A delicious Rhône! 3. Eleve Cabernet - drinks like a Bordeaux. When in Downtown Sonoma, please stop by and give them a try. It's a nice break from shopping or a good place to sit and chat with friends for the afternoon.

    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!
