                                    EDK is relaxed and comfortable. The setting and ambiance is quite pleasant. The food was earnestly conceived—nice variety, items of interest, potentially interesting twists and flourishes— but all underwhelming in the end. The service was awkward.

                                    Everything was perfect and I’m sorry I can’t remember our server name. He was Hispanic and young and very well put together and he was so attentive. He was amazing.

                                    What a wonderful meal from cocktails to entrees, all were outstanding. Our server was friendly, courteous, and attentive, but not overly so. We split the field greens salad, lightly dressed-it was perfect. We had paella and the seared scallops--both were cooked perfectly. The scallops were on a cauliflower puree and a number of small additions created a wonderful blend. Definitely will return, such a great spot right on the square in Sonoma

From the fresh, flavorful dishes to the attentive service, everything exceeded our expectations. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. We’ll definitely be back and look forward to trying more of the menu next time!

                                    This was my third time at El Dorado Kitchen and it was as good as the last 2 times, excellent! There were 4 of us and everyone had a delicious meal. The service was also great. I can’t wait for the next time I’m in town to enjoy another meal. By the way, the first 2 times I was there for breakfast which was fantastic and this time was for lunch.
