Best Family Style Restaurants in Sonoma

Awesome food and great service. The pork belly app and mussels were world-class. The paella was also fantastic, but could’ve used more shellfish and less salmon (frankly, it would’ve been better if the menu said “salmon”, it just said the dish included “market fish”). That being said, I gave the salmon to my wife and she said it was delicious.

Fantastic dinner! Service was great. Ambiance was lovely. We started with a Halibut and shrimp ceviche. Then split a salad that had apples, cheese, pepitas, and fresh greens. I had the scallops which were cooked perfectly, and I'm pretty picky! My husband enjoyed his Halibut dinner. We were too full to have dessert unfortunately. Would definitely recommend this place for a special occasion.

The cocktail server is an absolute sweetheart! Hilary is the reason I go!

This was a cozy and romantic outdoor dining experience. We went on a Tuesday night which made for a quiet, seemingly private experience. There were some guests who curiously looked and one couple stopped to ask about the food. The ski chalets are decorated super cute and can fit many people at the one table. It was adorned with furry blankets both to sit on and to throw over you along with cushy pillows. There was also a tall standing heater and a fire pit so it’s definitely warm enough. Our servers were very attentive and both food and drinks came out in a timely manner. The holidays cocktails were well balanced. We also chose the cheese fondue which came loaded with a plate of vegetables to dip. My favorite was the broccoli and potato. We also splurged and got the chocolate fondue for dessert. Again, very flavorful but less fruit than the vegetable plate. Both were priced at $35 each. Drinks were in the $20-$27 range which is steep but normal for a Fairmont. The grounds are lit up for Christmas with music playing as well. It was a very pleasurable Happy Hour experience and we’d definitely go back for this or the dinner experience. One thing to know is to check the restaurant days/hours in advance. You’ll need to know to check in at the bar if you go on a day the restaurant is closed.

We had an awesome experience at Wit & Wisdom. We were in town for a Christmas party & had some extra time to eat the day before. We had the best server named Theresa. The meals were delicious. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely return. Thank you.
