First time here...we had lunch, sharing the Heirloom tomato salad, Shishito peppers and chicken picatta meatballs with fried polenta. YUMMMMM! Everything was beautifully presented, perfectly cooked and so delicious! And even though we were full, we couldn't resist the peaches and cream dessert of authentic cheesecake, peaches in syrup topped with cinnamon shivered almonds. What a lovely lunch! Nick, our waiter, was excellent, adorable and attentive. I wanted to take him to meet my single daughter....lol

While staying in downtown Santa Rosa, we came here one evening for drinks before having dinner elsewhere. The place was packed around 5:30PM, but we found a couple of seats at the bar. The bartender was helpful and attentive. I noticed they had a nice collection of spirits, including Chartreuse, which is somewhat difficult to find, especially as “regular” bars, as mostly craft cocktail places seem to have it. The drinks we had were very good. If we ever come back, I’d definitely try a pizza, as they have a brick oven.

Had a great experience at this spot! The beet salad was fresh and flavorful—definitely a highlight. Drinks were on point, and the mocktails were creative and fun (though one leaned a little sweet for my taste). The truffle fries? Absolutely addictive. Overall, a solid place for a chill night out with good food and good vibes. Would come back for sure!

We had salad with prawns and lamb pita that was delicious. I missed out on the begniets desert that looked like long pretzels.

We were drawn to this restaurant based off location and mocktail options. I had the Eagle Eye Cherry mocktail, I highly recommend it for its tart, unique-fresh taste. I also had the lamb stuffed flat-bread with greek salad. I admit I was concerned about portion size until it arrived, I couldn't even finish it (pictured below). The lamb was seasoned well and paired well with the hummus. The wife had The Burger and described it as flavorful, with a perfect potato bun, and a THICC patty (misspelled on purpose). A couple of small complaints: while we praise them for their extensive beverage options including mocktails, they did not seem to have a ton of food options and the burger was "slightly dry." That being said it was a wonderful place with friendly staff and we both agreed we would happily come back. Give it a try.

I noticed several people going inside so I had to give it a try and glad I did. They have a legit pizza oven and lots of seating options I went for turkey melt and it came with side salad , very nice touch. Service was outstanding and the food was just as good. Good place to grab a drink with friends , with top notch food as a bonus

My mom & I were exploring the old railroad square and stumbled upon this place doing so. I'm so happy we did! We came on a week day late afternoon/ early evening and there were some people, but not too crowded. We sat at the bar and had a drink & ordered a pizza. The bar tender was super nice & attentive. I got the Painted Lady drink which was good, not too sweet or strong. The wood fired pizza is amazing. I got the house made sausage one and it was incredible. The crust and toppings were just perfect! I would definitely come back here again when in the area!

On our way back from Point Arena, we stopped at this place for lunch on a Sunday Afternoon. The place was moderately occupied, we were shown to our table almost immediately. The staff here is really nice with a smile always! We were waiting for the rest of us to join so they patiently handled our order. The cocktails here are a must try. We loved the truffle fries and the skillet garlic bread so much that we went for a second serving (must try). The food here will not disappoint you, every dish we ordered was amazing. Will definitely recommend this place. Can’t wait to go back.
