   This restaurant is a gem! I absolutely loved the small plates — each one was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The oysters were fresh and briny, the raw mushroom salad was earthy, and the artichokes were perfectly grilled. The halibut was another standout — delicate and delicious. A great place to share a bunch of dishes and enjoy a relaxed, flavorful meal.

   We love this place. We come to Santa Rosa once a year specifically to eat here. I’m not exactly sure what changed? New chef? Normally every item knocks it out of the park, we ordered 8 items and of the 8 only 3 were like the good old days. So hats off to the chef that made the olive spread with bread, the arugula endive salad and the beets. However, the carrots were mush, with sweet on sweet. The calamari was just okay with the sweet glaze being a bit overpowering, the pork pot stickers were also mush and too salty, we never got our artichoke and our plates had been cleared so we canceled it, the gnocchi was maybe the most disappointing! We LOVE the Mac and cheese that’s always varying in flavor, so so so sad this gnocchi got swapped for it. It was 90% large chunks of pear to 10% small bites of gnocchi, and it lacked flavor, I had to add my own salt. Big bummer. We have more friends coming up for a reservation this Saturday but I think we will be canceling. Maybe we will give it a few years to come back around before trying again. Service was great though.

   No longer a destination. Food was tasty, well prepared and interesting. Wines were hugely disappointing. We ordered 2 different flights and tasted several others. Only one of the ten was good. Will not return.

   We love Willi's Wine Bar. The small plates are a huge plus and all of them are good. Nice to be able to sample a lot of different things. We shared the new ice cream sundae for dessert and it was amazing.

   The food was delicious! Our party of 3 shared several dishes. Each one was tasty. My favorite was the filet mignon sliders. We would definitely go back!

    Great food and service! Lamb and the beet tataki were delicious and good happy hour drink deals.
