My partner was skilled at finding delicious restaurants in the area and we checked this place out…read more I had never actually checked out this quaint downtown area before until this visit so it was pleasant to walk around to see all the tasting rooms along with the bookstores and other pleasant shops. We came in right before the restaurant filled out at 10am and got the shakshuka along with a burger and fries. Everything was made perfectly and so flavorful. The chefs certainly have a skill for optimal taste and cooking as that was the best meal of the weekend. The server was so attentive and sweet too! We always had our water refilled and several friendly workers asked us about our triathlon experience. Very sweet people!

I am a frequent flyer when in the area of the KD. I really enjoy their Pho and chicken wings. It's…read moregood food with up and down service. Some mishaps have happened with service on prior visits but management and servers are always concerned and make it right. That's why I keep coming back. I Popped in Thursday afternoon for Pho. It was not busy only two other couples eating when we arrived. We sat at our usual table And noted service was a bit slow right off the bat. When I received my Pho, which I thought was a longer wait than usual, it was luke warm if that. The Korean ribs and chicken wings arrived temperature appropriate. I pushed my soup aside but no one checked back until my lunch mate finished. When the waiter came to clear the table I asked for a to go and thought he would ask if there was anything wrong. He did not so I told him the Pho was served luke warm so I did not eat it and that no one had checked back or even passed by us or I would have sent it back to heat it up. We were done now so I'd just take it to go. Our waiter apologized and when he brought the bill said The Pho was comped and apologized again for the breakdown in service. When I dine I like to relax and enjoy a meal With who I came with. So receiving temperature appropriate food is important. The KD does a good job. They have a diverse menu with flavorful food and great cocktails. When there is a hiccup in service or the food there is a genuine concern. Sometimes it's caught by them and others it's brought to their attention. It's how things are dealt with when those mishaps happen. The KD addresses your concerns with sincerity and want their diner to have an all around great experience. If you have not been give KD a try when in downtown Napa.

The food, the staff, the ambience was fantastic. Came here after much research and pre-planned…read morethought having moved to Sonoma County over 3 years ago now. This is the #1 mentioned spot recommended to me on my post/inquiry for great romantic restaurants in the area on Facebook page "Sonoma county foodies." I have my list from them and was excited to use one of the best excuses ever to go-my mother-in-law's 75th birthday and flying in to town to see us. We got a sitter and reserved a table weeks ahead. Entering in to the restaurant, it has a cool vibe as it's also a hotel. We got there before the dinner rush, so it was relaxed when we arrived. We were seated at a table; the staff knew ahead it was my MILs bday, and they kindly wished her happy birthday several times in our time. We ordered the mushrooms for appetizer; a generous portion, but not too big to ruin dinner. It was an unusual dish we hadn't had before; beautifully plated with arugula and a slightly spicy purée. I would order it again. I got a glass of Walt Chardonnay and my MIL a sparkling wine, which she and my husband really liked. For entrees, I got the Petaluma Chicken-which was crispy outside and tender on the inside. Polenta (very creamy) and broccolini. I would say my dish was light on salt, so I added some to taste, and all was good. My husband got the vegan plate with salmon, and it looked so healthy and fresh. The tofu was crispy too, even for my hubby that doesn't eat tofu. My mother in law got the flat iron steak and frites. The steak was cooked to her liking and looked delicious. The fries were ok--I thought they were a bit under-whelming (like them piping hot) but that can't always be achieved in a busy restaurant. Mid-meal the place started buzzing with activity, and it got a bit loud but not too bad. The staff was very kind and brought us a small fudge brownie (very rich and dense) and all 3 of us had 1-2 bites and satisfied our sweet tooth for end of meal. The waiter was fantastic! I would love to return and try some different dishes and some signature cocktails as they were so tempting.

Crisp greens and yummy dressing Mt Lassen trout - perrrfectly cooked with crispy skin, and the sauce went so well with the fish and the greens. Loved this dish, I think this was the best fish dish I ever had at a New American cuisine restaurant. Five stars. Service- six stars if I could. Our server Pedro was attentive, friendly, very professional, and made our whole dinner experience a very enjoyable one. Thank you Pedro!!

Farm to table…read more Quality/Quantity - Expected more from this place... Spanish Octopus - Appertizer, tapa quantity. Okay flavors, but the tips were over charred. It was not 100% edible. Agnolotti - Entree, but I felt more of a tapa/appetizer size. The flavors were okay. I was worried that this was not going to be enough food for my daughter, and we are light eaters... Pappardelle - My dish, and currently my go-to pasta. It was just okay. At least it was a decent one serving light eater quantities.... Wines - Expensive, so I decided to only have a beer with my dinner. Choose the Original Pattern, Hazy IPA, CA - Nice and refreshing. Ambiance - Beautiful resort. The restaurant looked good also - Modern, clean decor, etc. See pictures. Indoor/outdoor space. Bar, lounge, table, counter table, private room seating, etc. I actually like the outdoor space and would come here for drinks and the live music. And we liked the high quality board games in the resort lobby; my daughter would probably love to hang out here and play some games. Prost tasting room; wine tasting before or after dinner? Plenty of parking, self parking or valet. I checked out both the resort lobby and restaurant indoor/outdoor spaces; see pictures. Live music today. Shared restrooms with the resort. Meet hall spaces available. Service - Just okay, expected better. Price - Expensive for what we got. $108 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2006.

Showed up to…read morethe 3:30pm class 10 minutes early and the doors were locked and it looked like no one was inside the building. We tried calling the phone number multiple times and no one picked up. Also, knocked several times. Two other people arrived as well who tried knocking and calling to no avail. We waited until 3:45 until we gave up and left. After we left, we received an email saying we had been refunded and at the bottom of the receipt it said "We apologize as this order did not show up on our calendar until today. We look forward to hosting you in the future. Thank you, Sheana" (see attached screenshot). I think this is deeply unprofessional on so many levels. Even if the reservation had only shown up today on their calendar (despite us booking it several weeks prior) and they weren't prepared, they had all the time before 3pm to reach out via email or phonecall to say they couldn't make the class. They didn't even try reaching out and instead we received a refund after the scheduled class time. Lack of communication is such a bummer considering we set aside a couple hours for this and we were so excited. Also, this is located in Sonoma which means it's out of the way for people who are visiting Napa and its vineyards. That's typically not an issue but considering we had to drive out the way and we got cancelled on after we waited for them is where it is an issue. Deeply unprofessional situation and hope they improve on communication soon.

Her energy added so much to the evening. She is professional, warm, and made the whole night feel effortless for us so we could focus on celebrating with my grandmother. If you are looking for a private chef who is talented, creative, and a joy to have in your home, I cannot recommend Linda highly enough. She made our family dinner truly unforgettable!

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!

PLEASE SEE ALL SCREEN SHOTS AFTER READING!!!…read more I have been meaning to write this review for a while now. I had a trip planned and needed a meal prep service, so I decided to give Spicy Girl Meal Prep a try. Despite seeing some negative reviews, I thought it couldn't be that bad. Unfortunately, my experience was a total disappointment. I paid $205 for the service to be delivered and was very clear about when I needed the food by. However, the food was never delivered, and I was given the runaround when I tried to contact the company. They claimed that the food was not delivered because of the holiday, which was unacceptable. When I finally got a response from them, an assistant named Dana texted me to say that they were closed that day. This was after I had called repeatedly and left several messages. It was clear that they had no intention of delivering the food. At this point, I had to come up with another solution for my meal prep needs, which was a huge inconvenience. My wife called the company from a different phone number and was told that we would receive a refund. However, we never received any refund despite reaching out to them through email. In the end, I had to dispute the entire process with Venmo to get my money back. Overall, I had a terrible experience with Spicy Girl Meal Prep, and I would advise anyone to stay away from them. They are unprofessional, unreliable, and clearly do not care about their customers. Update: I find it outrageous that I had to resort to contacting several mutual friends on Instagram just to reach her. Finally, one of her friends came forward and told me that she had mentioned my experience to Jade. I was very clear with her that Jade was lying about the situation, and that I intended to leave a review about it a year later. It's interesting that Jade has just reached out to me with an invitation to have lunch and fix the situation, which seems shady and as if she's trying to cover herself. The truth is, she should have done this a year ago when I had a terrible experience.

We started with the local sourdough, herb butter and salt ($7) which was great. Patatas Bravas were just ok, but house salad was big with blue cheese, apples and candied walnuts. Enough for the 5 of us. Husband and mom had to roasted salmon ($34) with tabbouleh, snap peas and tzatziki sauce. They liked it but it wasn't the best ever. I had the shrimp and cheesy grits, which were tender, garlicky in tomato garlic cheesy goodness ($25). Brother had the roasted half chicken ($36) with fennel salad and olive salsa verde. It was super tender and delish. Sister in law had 8 oz bavette steak slice over crispy fingerling potatos. She raved about how good it was. We were too full for dessert but drink prices were reasonable (though they botched a martini). Fairly easy parking around 5pm on a Saturday night. The outside patio looked cute with picnic tables but it didn't work with my mom in a wheelchair and a few steps. The service was pleasant though a little slow. Easy reservations with OpenTable. Would definitely recommend in Sonoma!
