Bird & The Bottle

We had a lovely time and would totally recommend this place to friends! The menu was inventive and full of delicious small, medium and large plate options. The wine list and bar were well stocked. The service was a ten- warm, super attentive, very knowledgeable. The food was all cooked to perfection. Totally impressed!

Bird and the Bottle is an absolute gem that deserves every bit of praise it receives. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Let's talk about those sliders – they are nothing short of sensational! Each bite bursts with flavor, leaving you craving more. Pairing them with a glass of their exquisite wine selection elevated the experience to new heights. Also enjoyed the guacamole as an appetizer and carrot cake for dessert. Now, let's not forget about the impeccable service. The staff at Bird and the Bottle are true professionals, attentive to every detail without being overbearing. They made us feel like valued guests from start to finish. As for the atmosphere, it's a perfect blend of cozy and chic, with just the right amount of buzz in the air. However, I must mention one tiny nitpick – there was one photograph that didn't quite resonate with the rest of the decor. But honestly, it's such a minor detail in an otherwise flawless setting. In summary, Bird and the Bottle is a culinary haven where every aspect, from the sliders to the service, shines brightly. It's a must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience. We can't wait to return!

Was able to get a reservation on a Monday on the same day. Such a quaint restaurant in a cute house! We were seated upstairs, which was nice because the main/first floor was a little loud. We got the charred edamame, smokey poke, fried chicken sliders, crispy duck confit tacos (not pictured), and Korean fried mushrooms with an Eternal (non-alcoholic). The charred edamame was good but kind of messy, the poke was served room temp and I would have preferred it cold. The fried chicken sliders were delicious but the piece was chicken was a little small. The Korean fried mushrooms were battered, which was not expected. And the duck tacos were the best but very messy. The eternal was a great drink! Highly recommend this place - their menu is well crafted.

Came here while driving back to the bay after a wonderful trip to Mendocino. I saw all the going reviews and was really excited to try something new in the area as it sounds like this is one of the finest establishments here in Santa Rosa. Unfortunately, I was super disappointed, almost every single menu item is battered and fried. We ordered three dishes. They all tasted the exact same for some reason. The only condiment they seem to use here is either butter or mustard. On top of that the prices are outrageous. They call it family style, but it is barely enough for two people, however calorically dense enough for a party of 10. This is a supremely greedy establishment. They charged us $7 for soda. It tasted like bathwater and cinnamon claiming it was Diet Coke. Outdoor seating directly faces a busy loud road could not believe how many people were sitting out there Save your harder money and go elsewhere unless you have the palate of a child. Nauseously yours, Zac

Though I haven't explored much in Santa Rosa, this place certainly adds a burst of great flavors to the scene. The creative blends of food here are impressive, and I'm eager to try more of their innovative offerings. The duck taco, in particular, was perfection—my partner and I enjoyed it immensely. While some places might start feeling similar after trying a lot, this one stands out. It brings surprises both in taste and the way they craft their menu. Everything we tried was good, and it's evident that there's something special about the unique flavors and creative approach. If you find yourself in the area, definitely make time to give it a try!

My husband and I ate here when stopping through Santa Rosa for the night. The food was excellent- though pricey - and atmosphere was fine. The front of the restaurant had a better feel than where we were seated in the back (window by a street lamp and stucco wall kills the vibe a bit) — but it was quiet and relaxing after a long day driving. Our waiter was fine, but I think he seemed a tad disappointed and dismissive when we ordered two plates, no drinks. A small plate and large plate was plenty for us. Pictures show just half our food - we dug in before I snapped a photo!

Bird & The Bottle is a delightful restaurant to visit if you're in the Santa Rosa area. The restaurant has a great vibe to it, the service is friendly and attentive, and the food is boldly flavored. Because everything is served tapas style, we were able to try a good variety of items. The portions were generous enough for our family to share and everything was very nicely plated. It's a good restaurant that our family would visit again when we're in the area.

Out of this world menu in a charming downtown Victorian. I ordered the Old School (Mezcal cocktail) and it was almost too beautiful to drink! Everyone was blown away by the creative, progressive cuisine. They have wonderful staff as well. It's tapas style and on the higher end budget wise, but you have to at least try it if you're a foodie or have enjoyed the other Stark restaurant.

One of my favorite fall dining destinations. The moment you step inside, the ambience envelops you in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with a fun vibe that makes it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. As far as the menu---I personally love the mini burgers, cheese curds ...and this time of year, there's something so comforting about their matzoh ball soup. The drinks are always perfection and one of my favs is the Irish coffee -but they make several crafty cocktails. The staff at Bird in the Bottle are attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to help you navigate the menu or recommend a wine that perfectly complements your meal. They make every visit feel special, welcoming you as if you're part of their close-knit family. It's always a great visit!

Bird & the Bottle is pricey but deliciously worth it! These plates are small and meant to be shareable (they let you add on a meatball instead of an entire extra order if necessary). The flavors profiles are wonderful, great textures, and beautiful presentation. Love the Asian inspirations blended with American classics. Nice patio, fancy bar, ample parking.

There is never a bad meal at bird and the bottle. Everything you order is absolutely amazing. The service is quick and reliable. The restaurant itself is so homey. Pairs perfectly with all the comfort food. One of my top restaurants in Sonoma County

We loved the chili crisp edamame, Lamb meatballs and pimento cheese cauliflower! Wow, the flavors here are insanely on point! We also love how dog friendly they were! We brought our very well behaved French Bulldog and had a lovely meal upon arriving in Santa Rosa from Seattle. We will be back!

Lovely place located inside an elevated house. Currently patio is under repair but looks like they will be done soon! This place has a unique menu with a hint of Korean influence. We got street parking right out front.The street but there is an off street lot. Started off with the special soft shell crab BLT sliders on a brioche. Very delicious. Our server was very helpful as this was our first time here. They have tons of tapas and small plates meant to be shared. Our next dish was the Little Gem salad which was perfect for sharing. Next we shared the chicken wings sprinkled with sesame seeds. These were a little too over cooked.

Excellent food and service here today. The flavors were incredible- loved the little gem salad and the slaw on the Korean fried mushroom plate. The dressing on the salad was miso-flavored and delicious. The slaw included other greens like sweet pea leaves. So good! The only thing I wasn't in love with was the sauce for the Korean fried mushrooms. It was too sweet and had no heat from chilis. Nice indoor seating area with full bar and lovely outside seating with umbrellas. Definitely a must-visit in Santa Rosa.

Came on a very hot evening but so enjoyed the outside shaded patio. The food was better than my last visit with very interesting twist to the usual small plates dishes. So flavorful and fresh! Plus they are dog friendly.

My family, including kids, went to have dinner after visiting safari nearby. We didn't had ant expectations as we were starving and looking for a place to eat, the wait was about 40 minutes which was okay for a holiday weekend (labor day). The service was amazing, they spoke spanish too so it was easier to explain how the meals work, we didn't know it was like a tapas concept where the servings are small portions so you can order a few dishes and try a lot. Everything we had was DELICIOUS, we would definitely ask for everything again. The drinks were not that great and would skip the desserts, sorry. We definitely would go back for the food!

Came here for dinner with 3 friends and I highly recommend coming with a group and sharing lots of items. The menu is pretty expansive and everything sounded so good so I'm glad we got to try a bunch of things. It's mostly small plates so they recommend 2-3 plates per person. Our favorites were the edamame ( it was so well spiced) also the fries were surprisingly above average. I also loved the pastrami taco and the bone marrow. I definitely want to come back and try more things. We had a nice table on the front patio with heat lamps

Came here yesterday and loved it! They are dog friendly and brought our dog a nice, big bowl of water! The portions were huge! The bone marrow was to DIE FOR!!

Absolutely love. Came for dinner with 3 adults and 3 kids. We ordered all the things; corn, fried chicken sliders, mini burgers, octopus, bbq chicken, smoked wings, guacamole, cauliflower, prawns, and a nice bottle of wine. Everything was amazing, fresh, tasty, and different. The service was outstanding and the restaurant itself is super cute. We will be back for sure on our next trip to Santa Rosa.

Dropped in for lunch and was early for my reservation but they seated us immediately. Very friendly staff and lots of choices. The food is delicious and perfect for sharing so you can try lots of things on the menu. The atmosphere is welcoming with seating inside and out depending on the weather. All in all a delicious meal!

We were passing through Santa Rosa and Yelp made a good case to try B&t'B for lunch, and we're happy we did! All the food items were unique & flavorful. FYI - The little gems' baby butter lettuce needed a knife to cut up the very large lettuce leaves. Wontons with the guacamole was a create twist and delicious. The fries were thin sliced wedges and well-liked by all. Interior atmosphere and service were top notch. "We'll be back" - insert Arnold Schwarzenegger accent :-)

Bird & the Bottle is a culinary find! The outdoor terrace has tables with ample umbrella coverage for warm days. The atmosphere in the dining room is so nice. The real treasure is the food! We tried their fries, octopus, soft shell crab sliders, soulful greens, and smoked chicken wings and it was all incredibly delicious. These are all very different dishes in a varied menu. It would have been easy to get any of these horribly wrong and they were all pretty much spot on. The only little suggestion I'd make is to cook the chicken wings just 10 minutes longer. Service was present and available, but not intrusive. Can't wait to return to try their fried chicken!!

The service was spectacular, the setting on the patio and the inside of the Restuatant is beautiful. The wine was great. But the food, in my opinion was not stellar. We had the oysters to start, which were very good.. The wings however in my opinion had no flavor, they were crispy but were very salty. Then I had the warm spinach salad, which again, only had the flavor of salt. And I finished with the duck tacos, which didn't have much flavor other than the sauce that was ontop. My boyfriend had the half roast chicken and he seemed to enjoy it, but also had the comment it was slightly salty. I just wish Restuatant's would lay off the salt, you can always add it to a meal if needed! But you cannot take it out!

We had three dishes and two drinks on our visit to Bird & The Bottle. All but one we'd order again. Yes * Crispy chicken skin cracklings were crisp and delicious * Pimento pull apart bread was light (almost like brioche) and slathered in flavor (pimento.cheese on top and the melted oils from it at the bottom. It's rich, though, and we did push some of the cheese aside. * The Garnet was SO flavorful and refreshing, a testament to a really intentional; I could drink 10 of them No * Crispy chicken sliders we'd not likely order again. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the dish was just underwhelming and there are other items we'd rather try.

Ok, so I didn't take some pics because I ate them too fast. We had a delicious dinner here on a Saturday night. The wait was about 45 min for a walk-in, but well worth it. Some of the missed pics included the fried chicken sliders (great!), my Cza amber ale, the hummingbird cocktail, and a few other things. At least I caught our gem salad, pastrami tacos, bone marrow and skirt steak. Service was great. Orders came in one by one with impeccable timing. Staff also cleared out extra plates very quickly as we had a lot of food! Overall, a classy atmosphere, and very solidly good food. I had to waddle out of there after an enormous eating feast. My only regret is we couldn't try any dessert for lack of space. Well worth a visit, though certainly a popular place in the area.

We wanted to have a local experience at a non chain restaurant and this place was perfect. We sat on the deck and the weather was perfect for outdoor dining. Our server was very attentive and help us pick out a few local favorites on the menu. Even down to the diet cola this place was not your run of the mill chain. Food was delicious and worth every penny. Stop by if you are in town!!

What a delicious meal with amazing service! We had the everything fries, chicken liver pate, poke bowl, shrimp wontons, beet salad, warm spinach salad, oysters, pastrami tacos, and the lion's mane mushrooms. My favorites were the fries, poke bowl, shrimp wontons, and salads. Those were all well flavored balanced and fresh. The lion's mane mushrooms had soaked up the oil flavor too much. So while the batter was crisp and fresh it was like biting into old oil. The oysters were very fresh but somehow flavorless and the mignonette had a strange taste like refrigerator. The pastrami tacos fillings were great, but when ingested with the corn tortilla the corn over powered the filling. We also ordered the pull apart bread which never came and was taken off our menus. My friends also enjoyed the cocktails. The house vibe of the restaurant is so sultry and intimate. I enjoyed the decor.

This is an excellent, quaint, and reasonably priced restaurant. The atmosphere is comfortable both inside and on the patio. The service was great. Waiters, servers, bus personnel were attentive. The food was delicious. I liked the menu which allows for sharing and more tapas style eating. Food ce out fresh, hot, and nicely presented. I ate and recommend the chicken sliders, the shrimp wonton, and the everything fries. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be back when I am in this area.This is an excellent, quaint, and reasonably priced restaurant.

Dropped by on way back from north California to Bay Area. Restaurant lived up to its service and food reputation. Ordered prawns and wine and squash salad etc. Very delicious. Have this lovely patio for 25 odd capacity. Ambiance was chic and cozy. Pricey and adds a back of the house surcharge. Not sure if that is a thing in this area. Overall great place and must visit for creative fare.

We had been here several times and it's finally time to review them! We got seated very promptly. We ordered brussel sprouts, everything fries, and duck tacoes. My favorite was brussel sprouts! I always enjoy brussel sprouts dish from all Starks locations but I can say that Brussel sprouts here is by far my favorite of all their locations! It tastes so good and it's a lil creamy too which I love. For duck tacoes, they actually put a good amount of duck meat in it which is great! Everything fries was good on its own and did not need to dip in their sauce, but if you want to dip it in the sauce, it's also good! Service was lovely. All the staff were very friendly and professional. Interior is decorated very beautifully. We will definitely come back next time!

Fantastic food, well-executed! The ingredients were fresh and meals were prepared with unique ingredients. Patio was nice. Wine list is not extensive but nice choices at expected prices. Would definitely recommend!

Can you really complain at a Stark's happy hour? I think not. My wife and I were at Bird and the Bottle for happy hour last week Friday. Attentive staff. Lovely homey vibes. Delicious bites. Well crafted martini with a twist. Well selected happy hour wine. No complaints. We will be back again.

Amazing food! Very cute, lovely spot perfect for a date on a summers day. The happy hour was great. Showed up 30 mins prior to it ending and got two beef cheek tacos with homemade tortillas, the Mary's chicken and it came with an amazing homemade buttermilk ranch dressing on the side. My husband loved the poke and enjoyed the house made chips (I think they were plantains). Also got the Mexican street corn-so delicious and packed a spicy punch! Perfect time!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this hidden gem, and let me tell you, it was an experience worth raving about. The octopus leg - perfectly grilled, tender, and bursting with flavor. Kudos to the chef for mastering the art of cooking octopus! Wood Grilled pawn - it didn't quite reach the level of excellence set by the octopus. However, the Korean sauce accompanying it added a delightful twist that elevated the overall dish. The blend of flavors was impeccable - a harmony of sweet, savory, and just the right amount of spice. deep-fried oyster - a true masterpiece. The exterior was wonderfully crispy, providing a satisfying crunch with each bite. What really impressed me was the contrast with the velvety, soft interior of the oyster. It was a textural delight that left my taste buds dancing. In conclusion, if you're a fan of exquisite seafood with innovative flavors, this place is a must-try. The octopus leg alone is reason enough to visit, and the culinary adventure that follows is sure to leave you craving more. A definite thumbs up!

First-time visitor, and we were recommended this place by someone at a vineyard. We ordered a lot to try, and overall, it was just okay. Nothing really wowed us. We tried the following items. Bone marrow - it was good. Lamb Meatballs - kind of gamey tasting - we didn't enjoy this dish much. Pastrami Tacos - salty for our group, so we weren't too into it Grilled Octopus - lacking in flavor for our group Salmon Wings - (curious to what salmon wings were we ordered it and it turned out to be salmon pieces.) Overall, this was cooked well but lacking flavor. Dozen oysters - they were okay. Amd a dish made from lionsmane Mushroom (can't remember the name) We also got some drinks - half of us enjoyed their drinks and the other half thought it was just okay. Our servers were attentive and friendly, so that's always a plus. Overall, 3.5 stars out of 5. Giving 3 stars as Yelp doesn't do half stars and our group leaned more toward 3 stars than 4.

Everything here is always amazing!! Tonight we had Cheese Curds with dill, you can never go wrong with cheese curds but definitely order a side sauce to dip them in. Crispy Duck Tacos were good but a little dry and had a ton of sauce which made them a bit messy to eat but the flavor was good. Smokey Poke had a noce smoke flavor to it, ill like poke anytime anywhere so ill almost always think its good , Burger Sliders were amazing, i think they were ky husbands favorite dish. Shrimp Wontons i don't know why but I thought they would come out as tiny wonton tacos filled with shrimp but it is more like a crab Rangoon type item but they were still good, but could have had a little more flavor or seasoning. The cocktail was Golden Gate which was great if you love Bourbon.

It was raining, wind blowing making it a perfect day for hot Matzah Ball Chicken soup for lunch. The broth was sturdy, the Balls (2) soft, Chicken grilled, mushrooms too. In brief; bravo! Indeed a meal that warmed the afternoon. The service and ambience top shelf.

So good!! Just because it says tapas doesn't mean that you I'll get super small dishes. We ordered five things and were full. Everything was special and amazing.

Best find I've had in years! The ambiance is charming The pace is smooth The good is so good it's stupid! Very good GF menu Highly recommend

Had a great first evening in Sonoma finishing it with dinner at Bird & The Bottle in Santa Rosa. Great restaurant with many amazing menu options for diners who love sampling tapas and sharing small plates. The Great: Food Food Food! Every dish ordered was delicious and perfectly crafted. The unassuming Everything Greens was one of our favorites. We also ordered the prawns, octopus, and the crispy salmon wings. The salmon wings were the salmon collars which was a little too rich for us to finish, if we had two more diners it would be have been perfect. Of course great wines and beer to suit any palate and great desserts to finish the meal. The Good: Service was solid but at times a tad slow since it was a busy Friday evening. Private lot out back but from the signs be careful to NOT park in stall reserved for other businesses in the area. The Okay: Make reservations for sure, it was relatively early at 6 pm but the restaurant was bustling. Overall: Highly recommended and we would definitely visit again should we find ourselves in the area. Great service, amazing food, and wide selection of adult beverages will leave you smiling when you leave!

We had brunch reservations for 9 on a Saturday. There's parking in the back. We were seated upstairs on the patio. Friendly staff and quick service. One of the best places in town for Bloody Mary's. The food was great! All the dishes we ordered were delicious. The perfect balance of crunch, savory, and salty. MUST TRY: Warm Salad, Fries, Bone Marrow, Half Chicken

Got lucky with street parking just steps from the entrance. Off street parking available Comfortable seating with a view of the active kitchen. Although outdoor seating was an option, the street view wasn't compelling enough to offset the meal-cooling breeze. Service was definitely 5-star; friendly staff kept an eye on the table while giving us space to enjoy our experience. And topping it off was the amazing food -- Both the Smoked Beets and Smokey Poke were so tasty (sez the normally "I don't like beets" man) that I want to try and make them at home. The Watermelon Salad was very refreshing and flavorful, while the Barbacoa Tacos (2) provided a nice foil for the salad. With so many other interesting items on the menu, we won't wait so long to revisit this restaurant

Dined out Ordered two salads Smoked beet salad and Spinach Mushroom salad. I've never tasted smoked beets before, but I would have to go back the next time to dine in. The beets had a smoky and sweet flavor. The spinach mushroom salad was delicious and satisfying. I was concerned at it maybe overwhelmed by the mushrooms, but it was perfectly balanced. The staff were friendly and helpful. The ambience had a farm house feel. Enjoy

Happy hour service food and drink is amazing! We loved the margaritas!! The ambience was really nice too.

I haven't been here in at least 7 years so we finally tried it out again. Wowza what took me so long!?! When this spot first opened the menu was pretty different from where it stands today and I think it's for the best. I feel like when the restaurant first opened it was like carnival, Jewish mash up Americana food vibes. It was a bit all over the place and the menu reflected it. As I said, it took years after the first couple visits to come back but I'm glad we did circle the wagons back. We have gone back a few times over the last year and each time has delivered exceptionally well. My personal favorites are the duck tacos, pastrami tacos, everything spiced fries, and the everything greens. I've tried other things and not been disappointed but these dishes are well balanced flavors, textures, hitting all the right umami notes. We tried the pastrami tacos first and I was in love. Legit feel like they cracked the code on a lighter pastrami sandwich for the eater who enjoys it but doesn't want the weight of the commitment usually involved. The tacos are light with the corn blend tortilla, beautifully thin shaved pastrami, cheese curds, and the dijon sauce with the sauerkraut just adds the light touch of flavor balance needed. But boy howdy, those duck tacos are something to be adored. Delicious! Such a treat to have so many delicious spots to choose from and we are so lucky this spot is still here killing it after all these years.

Bird and the Bottle has something for everyone on the menu and what we sampled was delicious. We chose to sit indoors rather than on the patio and were pleased to find super comfortable padded chairs at our table, so relaxing! The menu is varied with dishes from all different cuisines, so you wind up sampling unlikely pairings like macaroni and cheese with Korean grilled octopus. Diners are encouraged to order for sharing, but our caveat would be "less is more". We ordered two dishes each and it was more than enough, and we definitely could have split a dessert rather than having one each. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, so we insisted on eating all of it...we were stuffed. If we are in Santa Rosa again this will be a definite stop for us.

What every dining experience should be. Stopped in while passing through, no reservation or reccomendation, and wow Left the restaurant feeling more satisfied than any dining experience we have had for awhile. Well executed, fun plates that really followed through on flavor- would love to have more time to unwind/have a drink next time- the cocktails looks uniquely delightful.

This was recommended by our safari tour guide and it did not disappoint . Came here as a birthday dinner and it was wonderful . Staff was amazing and attentive . Our food came out perfect timing and I love the small plates tapas like style ! Everything recommended was delish !! Our drinks were unique as well. I loved the cake in a jar the carrot cake I ate it so fast I didn't even take a pic lol can't wait to be back !! I also love the dark gloomy ambiance . It's for sure a whole vibe .

If I could give Bird & the Bottle a million stars, I would! This dinner we had has to be in the best top 10 meals we've ever eaten! Each dish we tried (and we tried a good amount) was a flavor punch to the mouth! We ordered the following dishes: pastrami tacos, beef cheek barbacoa tacos, crispy salmon wings, roasted artichokes, fried chicken sliders, Mac n cheese, and crispy chicken skin lettuce wraps (which we didn't take a pic because we ate them way too fast!). I could write about every dish we had and tell you how amazing everything was, but even that wouldn't do them justice! All I can say is you have to try as many dishes as you can! Each dish is tapas style and shareable, so you can try a ton. They also come out as they're ready. Service was friendly and attentive. You're also eating in a "house" which is fun and unique. 10/10 highly recommend!

BEST HAPPY HOUR IN SANTA ROSA! Great margarita and cauliflower taco for $6 each. Highly Recommend

This place is FREAKING GOOD!!! So so so good. Every dish we ordered tasted beyond good. It was perfection and I was hoping to take some food home for later...but we ate everything. I am pretty sure I accidentally ate of of the garnishes too. The food was good, I shamefully over ate. This place is 2 hours drive for us...but totally worth it when we want a fun day trip and fun family day in Santa Rosa.

We actually went there twice. First time was for happy hour and a late lunch/ snack. We were very happy to find $6 martinis and tacos which were excellent- especially the pastrami. Next time was dinner for 6. B & B didn't disappoint. Reservation got us seated on time. Service was great . Dinner was great food and unique menu items. The lamb meatballs were outstanding as was the chicken skin tostadas. Highly recommend this place in Santa Rosa.

Went for my son's graduation from 6th grade. The place was nice, comfortable and airy. The food was great. Appetizers are wonderful. The service was great too. Knowledgeable crew. We left full and satisfied. Thank you.

Me and my boyfriend were looking forward to trying this place...we got there was seated and given some water and that was it....no waiter to start appetizers or drinks 20 minutes later a group of YT people are being seated and getting their order taken...I'm disgusted by this service and management needs to be ashamed of themselves....

This seems to be one of the most popular restaurants in town. Just outside downtown Santa Rosa, Bird & The Bottle is in the perfect location and conveniently has a small parking lot. They have signs posted about the bar next door towing people, but the spots are obviously marked. We came on Friday afternoon and made a reservation in advance on Open Table. We were quickly seated on the outdoor patio, which was a little cold until they turned on the outdoor heaters. There were several appetizing things on the menu, so we ordered french fries, cheese curds, and the shrimp wontons for appetizers. The french fries were cripsy and unique. They're like a thick potato chip, but are not dry at all and are accompanied by a house made ranch. The cheese curds are also tasty. They have a great dill salt and bring me back to my time in Wisconsin. For entrees, we ordered the 1/2 bird fried chicken and the skirt steak. Both were average. The steak was pricey and a little chewy. The fried chicken had good crisp, but it also had a weird sweetness to it that I didn't like. The bees seemed to love the food though so be warned if sitting outside. Overall, I was expecting a little more from the experience. The service and appetizers were highlights, but there aren't a lot of options for entrees and they were lackluster. The restaurant is a cool vibe, but stick to a drink and apps. Food: 6.5/10 Service: 7.8/10 Environment: 7/510 Overall: 7.1/10

This cute restaurant exceeded expectations with its standout dishes and cozy atmosphere. The ahi starter was an absolute standout, boasting flavors that harmonized beautifully. The fried chicken sliders were equally impressive, but the slider burgers fell a bit flat and plain in comparison. Nonetheless, I'll be back for more, eager to explore the rest of the menu. This gem is definitely worth a visit for food enthusiasts looking for a memorable dining experience. I'm already planning my next visit to this restaurant. With a menu full of promising options, I can't wait to explore more culinary delights. I wish we had one closer in the East Bay!

Ambiance: 5 stars Service: 4 stars. The food should never arrive before the drinks, ever. Service was great all around though. Drinks: 5 stars Food: 2 stars. Its edible. Barely. 3 of us went and ordered half the menu. Everything was so salty, even the dessert. Such a lack of flavor, all you taste is salt. Charging Fernbar prices for applebees type quality. The guacamole was good though. $300 for a mid barely edible meal. We usually go once a year but after being disappointed at Willies and now here we will eat elsewhere. Really hate to knock the Starks as they are well respected in Sonoma County but I have to be honest . They nail ambiance and drinks but continually disappoint on food at all their restaurants. Such a shame.
