Valley

Overall we were not too impressed. The service was great and the inside has a very casual and comfy vibe. The mezze was good but the olives were… just olives, and the chicory Caesar salad just got more and more bitter as it went. Adding chicken brings the salad to $30 which is really quite shocking even for Sonoma. I do have to say the chicken was perfectly cooked though.

Michelin-star magic at Valley. We kicked off our course with the shrimp egg rolls—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly paired with soy and spicy mustard dipping sauces. Next came the albacore crisp with pomelo and ginger—fresh, bright, and proof you can never go wrong with a crudo. The standout of the night? The Dan Dan noodles with spicy pork—bold, deeply flavorful, and hands down our favorite dish. Hidden Valley serves as a thoughtful homage to the Chinese-American classics we love, drawing inspiration from the deep history of Chinese immigrants in Sonoma and the rich cultural influence of the greater Bay Area. Paired with our own bottle of Pangloss Cellars 2017 Zinfandel and complemented by the warmest, most delightful service, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. A must when in wine country.

Great coffee and pastries! Wish we had time on our stay to try brunch, lunch or dinner, but we will have to re-visit! Japanese Iced Coffee - 5/5 Ube & White Chocolate Scone - 5/5

Excellent place in downtown Sonoma for casual, upscale food and natural wines. Nice large outdoor back patio that is covered and heated with lamps in the winter. Dogs welcome in the back. Went to Friday lunch, recommend the greens and cheddar grilled cheese sandwich and the fried eggs with lentils. The hippie salad is large and a nice balance to the heavier sandwiches. Also ordered the mortadella sandwich and hot ham and cheese. Great spot for anytime of day!

Excellent cozy place to have cocktails and small bites but I little of bit overpriced for the food. We ordered the Half Chicken, the Crunchy rice, the miso Brussels sprouts and Hummus with crudités, it was all good but not amazing - The staff was very attentive and sweet to us.
