   What a great find In Sebastopol! They have happy hour on a Sunday! Food was really good, probably the best calamari I’ve ever had! Bartender was excellent, very attentive and on top of things happening. Overall an excellent experience!

   It was great! Solid restaurant and fun vibes. Asparagus with the focaccia on the side was the best

   This was our first visit. The service was speedy, efficient and very friendly. The food was extraordinary. The only possible negative would be that half the seating is banquettes, but if you don’t mind them, you’re golden. The rest are tables, with the exception of seats at the bar overlooking the kitchen. That’s where we sat and it was so much fun! Plus, the higher bar chairs were very comfortable and had a foot bar at the right height for my shortish legs. It was also quieter there, if that matters to you. We highly recommend the fried chicken and the crab raviolo, but be warned! It’s very easy to over order and both those dishes are shareable. In fact, they actually recommend sharing. Our server, Brenda, was so nice and took the time to answer questions thoroughly. But back to the food…it is very high end with mid-range pricing. Really something special. You’ll want to be sure to make reservations, as it is very popular. We’ll be back!

   Excellent fresh and tasty food that truly does taste like it's right from farm to table. So many wonderful flavors in the light sauces and dressings. The tuna nicoise is a standout. The skewered shrimp tastes like it's just out of the water. The grilled zucchini and burrata veggie dish is a big winner. The steak and frites are terrific. Really nice atmosphere as well.

   We reserved earlier (4:30p) and when seated at a booth, we asked to obtain a table, of which at least 5 were open. They refused and gave a second booth! The wait staff was very condescending, bordering on rude. The server who put the leftovers into the to-go box left half of it on the plate. The prices were so very high as well with a limited selection. Overall, not a good experience...

    We were really impressed with Goldfinch! We each tried a cocktail and both were creative and delicious. Every dish we tried was perfectly executed. We ordered two of the "That" items--both vegetarian dishes, the beets and the carrots. Both were excellent, but the beet dish in particular was memorably good. Probably the best I've ever had. The beets had a subtle heat to them that played beautifully with their sweetness, and the greek yogurt with smoked paprika added a perfect creaminess. Our server, who was personable and helpful, also recommended the focaccia pull-apart to go with the beets, and that was a great call. We split the pork chop and spaetzle entree, which was delicious; the pork chop was moist and flavorful and the herbed spaetzle was light and spring-appropriate, mixed with fresh peas. Portions of all dishes were quite generous, too. We will definitely visit this place again!
