    The food was awesome and delicious. The service was wonderful. The timing of the food was perfect. The head chef stopped by our table and thanked us for our business. Dessert was divine. Only drawback, they did not have decaf coffee, a minor issue.

    Good food, congenial staff, grand room for dining, lively but not boisterous or too loud. Families couples young folks all comfortable in a family atmosphere. Chef host always visible and often stops by to greet his guests. I brought out of town family and they remarked the pork chop was the best ever, including their home state Texas. That is some compliment from a Texan! Thank you for another memorable meal.

    An amazing Christmas Eve dinner that truly delivered on all levels. Each appetizer was flavorful and delicious, and the entrees were among the best we’ve had in Petaluma. The only thing I’d change is adding a bar, but the wine list and Pliny on tap almost makes up for that!
