   The meal: spectacular. The dessert: best we have ever had at a restaurant (a Napoleon) Why only four stars?: The restaurant was jam-packed, which was unexpected for a Thursday, by all accounts. There was only ONE server that we could see. Jackie was running ragged and it was impossible to be timely. This is not to criticize her-she was doing her very best under an impossible workload. The question,however, must be asked, why wasn't more help called in???

   The butter lettuce salad is amazing, as is the hamachi crudo. My NY strip was one of the best steaks I've ever had. And the cheescake? Sublime. Truly, this was an amazing meal!

   The duck wings were very dry and lacked seasoning. Having previously had them and really enjoyed them, this was a huge disappointment. They tasted like they had been fried several days before and then reheated. The filet mignon, ordered medium rare, was way over cooked except for right in the middle. Having previously enjoyed Wit and Wisdom many times, we were very disappointed.

   This restaurant has steadily declined in the last few years. Food has gone from good to poor with a very narrow menu. The barr is probably fine for pizza and drinks. We reserved on Valentines day weeks in advance and were told we had to sit on a patio with a steel roof and tile floor and for ambiance, tables for 12 and two tables set for two. The echo and noise made it like being in a sports bar. We left as soon as possible. Forget dessert. Forget Wit and Wisdom. Try EDK, Salt and Stone, Golden bear, any where else.

   Everything we had was amazing. Great restaurant. The crab as an appetizer was a group favorite as well as the califlower.

   Wit and Wisdom is a Michael Mina restaurant located adjacent to the Lodge at Sonoma Resort. Upon entering, we were taken aback by the loudness of the room and blamed poor acoustics. The restaurant was also too cold. Be prepared to spend a lot of money- especially since everything is ala carte. The appetizer take on a Caesar salad (placing the ingredients in a fold of endive) was excellent. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly well and was a high quality cut of meat. I would have liked fries with that, but I couldn't bring myself to order them since they were cooked in duck fat. Maybe it's my 2025 plan to eat healthier, given I might be sacrificing flavor. So I ordered broccolini and it unfortunately came soaked in oil. My wife's sea bass was inadequately seasoned. Dessert special was a pavlova- and it was very good. Service was good. Personally, I think an entree should come with vegetable and starch for one price.

   Tasting dishes as part of the tasting menu that were from MM’s Egyptian cuisine cookbook was the highlight.

    Another excellent dinner with exceptional service. Only issue was loud patrons a few tables away from us constantly getting up squealing while posing for selfies
