Valley - Sonoma

I was full of expectations when I saw the Michelin recommendation, but I was completely disappointed after eating. The dining experience was very poor. The first is the seating arrangement. There are not many indoor seats, and seats are arranged outdoors. But it rained on the day of the meal, so the outdoor seating area was surrounded by two rain shelters. However, our seats were next to the gap between the two shelters, and wind and rain penetrated, so it was quite cold. I saw a heater near the seat on the inside and asked if the heater could be moved. The waiter refused, which is understandable. Maybe guests nearby need it. After ordering, we waited about 20 minutes for the salad to be served. At this time, only about 60% of the seats were occupied, so the serving speed was slower than expected. We ordered two identical dishes (duck leg noodles), but the seasoning and meat quality of the two duck legs were completely different, and one of them was completely tasteless and dry. I originally wanted to respond to the waiter, but no waiter came to ask if there was any problem with the meal until the end of the meal. Even after we waited for more than ten minutes, no waiter came, and we were asked to leave our seats and ask the waiter for the bill. , it seems that the service manpower is obviously insufficient. The most outrageous thing was the waiter's attitude when he brought us the bill. He threw the bill on the table and left without looking back. This was the last straw for us. We only tipped $0.68 because the service attitude was really bad. The most satisfying item of the whole meal is coffee+tonic. The sour and bitter flavors are harmoniously matched, so I gave it two stars.

Just by chance we walked in. What a great move because we just landed in Sonoma and we’re so hungry. They sat us and got us coffee and Cava. The cute small special place was warm and just so inviting. Staff was on par as well. We ordered the chilaquiles No Pictures because we ate so fast) and by far the best I’ve had ever.. this is a must try place that is tucked away in the Sonoma plaza. Service: Dine in

Food is amazing, one of the nicest brunches I’ve had in a long time. They definitely take pride in their dishes and in using fresh, local ingredients. Service during our experience was lacking, however, especially for a restaurant that’s on the Michelin guide. One of the guys serving was so nice and friendly, but one of the women serving was a bit rude was super judgmental when we asked for ketchup for the breakfast sausage (understandable that speciality restaurants sometimes don’t carry “basic” condiments, but there was no need for the judgment), and also swiftly took our dessert away before we were done with it when clearing the table, without asking. Some points of feedback for an otherwise really great experience.

We had reservations here (recommended) and found the building clean and modestly decorated. We were seated immediately and our server was friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant works on the small plate idea so sharing the way to go. We consulted with our server and she let us try a wine. We shared a couple of the entrees and both were well presented and delicious. I particularly liked the cod and lintels. . Definitely be going back. Urban Cowgill Nov 2023
