A San Francisco Chronicle Bay Area Top 100 Restaurant for four years, Willi’s Wine Bar’s captures the casual, laid-back nature of Sonoma County Wine Country. Tourists and locals feel equally at home enjoying a quick bite or lingering over a glass of wine. The menu at Willi’s features international small plates, some wildly inventive and others comfortingly familiar. Staff is eager to help create perfect pairings with wines from the extensive wine list, many by local producers. Most wines are available in two-ounce tastes as well as by the glass or bottle.

The food was incredible and the service was great. The portions are tasting style which is nice, but very small for the price.

We had never heard of this restaurant before making the reservation. Apparently it has a great reputation around here and we found out why. Their wines and food are spectacular. Service was great. We really enjoyed ourselves here and will definitely come back when we are back in Sonoma.

It's always so delicious. Beets, carrots, brussel sprouts and truffle fries to start. Lamb chops to finish. Perfect. Justin our server was excellent too.

This was either our 3rd or 4th visit to Willi's since it reopened, had friends have dinner here recently, they liked it so decided to give it a try again. Service was very good, no issues. The food was ok, not great. My wife started with the Oysters Rockefeller, 4 oysters with spinach and cheese, she thought they were ok, the cheese obscured the flavor of the oysters. I had the calamari, very good, probably the best dish of the evening. We then got the spinach salad, again very good, not great but good and the brussel sprouts, they were good. My wife got the pot stickers and I got the duck bbq over polenta, both dishes were heavily sauced and seasoned. Overall I'd characterize the food as heavy handed, for example, the duck bbq, too much sauce and too much cheese in the polenta. Wine list is good, like that you can do 3 oz, 5 oz, 1/2 bottle and full bottles purchases. Will we be back, probably not unless there's a good reason, too many other better restaurants.

Always consistent food and quality. Service wasn’t as crips as previous experiences. Hostess was not paying attention to who came into door for seating and was curt.
