Albeit pricey , $17 for a med. pizza., fast, friendly service and quality of the food more than made up for the higher price. Decent wine list with reasonable prices, by the glass.
8. Harvest Moon Cafe

We are a small family run business on Sonoma's square. We have seasonal patio seating as well as a cozy dining room.

Harvest Moon was enthusiastically recommended by the local staff at our B&B... and it did not disappoint. Menu changes daily and gets posted about 4:30 pm. Husband started with the soup - very flavorful vegetable-forward option. I tried the fennel-citrus salad. Exploded with flavor and a good vinegary bite. For mains, hubs did the ribeye - perfectly cooked served with life-changingly good braised kale, spatzle, and a horseradish cream. I chose the braised pork shoulder - tender with some chew, accompanied by mashed potatoes and braised red cabbage. Dessert was hazelnut cake and ice cream. Atmosphere is casual - come as you are and eat well. Corkage fee is a reasonable $15 and they have good selections by the glass and bottle of local Sonoma wine. Recommend getting reservations during busy season or a weekend - not a large dining room! They also have a heated outdoor patio.

OSO is located right at the Main Square of Sonoma. We had a wonderful table just next to street window, which was completely opened, so being inside, we felt like sitting outside. Good service and very interesting food. This is place to order and share, so we tried many items from their menu : baked oysters, hummus, shrimp cocktail, deviled eggs, patatas bravas, korean style BBQ pork ribs, garlic and butter sautéed shrimps - so enough to take conclusion that there is very skilled chef, as everything was very tasty.Last but not least, we really appreciated that bartender has prepared a drink requested by us (basil smash), which was not aware of before. But challenge was taken and we got very yummy drink (honestly even two, as we re-ordered !)

Thank you Ashley and chefs at the Girl & the Fig! We had an amazing meal with the ribeye and the special tenderloin featured. Definitely opt for the charcuterie with cheese to pair with Ashleyâs recommended wine choices and you canât go wrong. Great, great patio and will take your breath away.

We decided to grab one more meal before we headed to the airport. Small and quaint restaurant. Breakfast sold all day. I had the ham and cheese omelet with bread and salad. Husband had the all America breakfast with eggs, bacon, potatoes and bread. Started with a fruit smoothie which was a bit overpriced $8 but it was delicious. All the food was good and fresh. Sat outside and had a view of the square. Beware they do add a surcharge for the employees even though you order and sit down. Would definitely return.

We came here for our last night on our honeymoon and they gave us an amazing dinner and wonderful memories. From special menus to recognizing our honeymoon, El dorado was welcoming and delightful. We had their mushroom appetizer which was unique and delicious. As our main course we selected their special which was a 48 oz ribeye meal for two and it was cooked perfectly and extremely filling...YUM. for dessert we ate the tiramisu and mixed berry and both were great. I would highly recommend this restaurant for an evening out or a special occasion. Thank you El Dorado Kitchen for an unforgettable dinner!

Cafe La Haye is a 34 seat American Bistro in the town of Sonoma serving locally sourced cuisine.
Reviewed By Cindy H
Cafe La Haye is one of our favorite stops, so we took family to dinner when they came to visit last weekend. I loooooved the chicken breast with tomatillo, and my sister thought the risotto with shrimp was fantastic. In fact, she claimed that it was her favorite seafood dish of their visit when we reviewed our stops at the end of the weekend (and we visited some super chef restaurants before they left.). Having eaten extensively at restaurants in both valleys, I would say that I appreciate Cafe La Haye for the intimate nature of their dining room, the quality and consistency of both service and food, and the fact that their wine list allows me to try out the offerings of local wineries no matter my budget ($$-$$$$$). Would love to have a slice of their chocolate cake and a glass of port right now.....Thank you so much for the extremely flattering review!!!

Love the gnocchi with the chicken meatballs. Good bar with unique cocktails, local wines, and draft beer. Don't miss the beignets. Wine country comfort food.

The food was fantastic, but outside was empty (inside busier)...very slow.....They also only have half chicken as do many restaurants in Napa...a waste, to end up throwing in the garbage. For a town so interested in paper straws and recycling...why would they want food tossed into waste.
