“I started off with a salad. Thinking all salads are served cold or room temperature, my salad was cooked. I was a bit shocked, but after re reading the menu it did say Warm Radicchio & Escarole. I took warm to reflect the taste or something. Overall I did enjoy the salad, it had a nice grill taste to it, and it looked like they cooked it with bacon. I tried the pizza with Italian sausage, panna “cream” & spring onions. It tasted good, but the crust was micro/paper thin “photo below”, which lead to a soggy middle pizza and I had to eat it with a fork. The pizza topping did taste yummy. A friend ordered a different pizza with caramelized onions unfortunate it had no tomato sauce, it's suppose to be this way on purpose. I also oredered brushette of fava bean & pecorino, it was very salty which killed the taste. I really enjoyed the interior, its clean and simple. Friendly staff made the experience all the more enjoyable. I'm sure this will be a popular spot with the locals. ”

“I have to confess that haven't been to this restaurant. (I plan to change that very soon.) However, I did have a woooonderful meal catered by them at my girlfriend's wedding. 300 people were served Indian vegetarian and everything was hot, tasty and no one complained. I have no idea how they managed it and I don't care. I do know that if they could make 300 people happy, I can only imagine how sublime a dinner for two would be.

“
If you like a trailer trash atmosphere, this place is for you. The food is bland and boring but most definately my most hated restaurant in my neighborhood. If I wanted to eat bad food with a bunch of barflies, this would be my place. I'm judging this place on one merit. The food. Not worth wasting a dime. Bar atmosphere ? If your not trailer trash, you won't fit in. The burgers have no flavor and I wonder if the cook knows how to cook. Their special plates of the day, Thai Curry Whatever. Leave that food to the people who know how to cook it. Prime Rib night, overcooked and bland, one night worth staying home. Pasta dishes, one small thing, season your food , salt is a good start. Overall, there are a lot better places around this area, give them a try first. Not even a fun place for a cocktail. ”

“This place was really awful. I expected way more out of it due to recommendation from friends but to be quite frank, I felt this place discriminated against my fiance' and I due to the fact that we are a bi-racial couple and apparently we looked "young". I'm 26 and I can't help it if I look 18!!! Anyways, besides the fact that so many other people WITHOUT reservations got seated before us (and we asked for a table first) and besides the fact that they tried to seat us OUTSIDE in the cold without asking for our indoor/outdoor seating preference, the food was a horrible disappointment. No taste is the key word. The food was dull, over-priced, and the portions were ridiculous. I mean I eat slow to begin with but it took me no less than 8 bites to polish off my main course! This place is highly pretentious, stuck up, and to say the least over-rated. save your money, time, and appetite for somewhere worth your while. ”

“I ordered a beef taco. It was tasty, I love how the dice up the onions and cilantro together "see photo below". The primary colors give this Mexican restaurant an authentic feel. I'll definitely be back to try their burritos and yummy taco's. ”

“From Citizen Cake to Orson, Elizabeth Falkner pursues commedia dell'arte culinary creations with artistic whimsy and innovative elan. Within spittin' distance of Coco500, an obvious gauntlet has been thrown down, upping the ante with irresistible small plates and hyperexciting flavor combinations. Who could resist a dish of duck fat french fries with brown butter bearnaise sauce, worth a trip alone. Foie gras bon bons dipped in grand marnier and cocoa, an unexpected combination, or a chocolate pizza, drizzled with melted chocolate onto a sinfully spiced pizza crust. Sensationally flavorful presentations include a buttermilk fried chicken slider, asparagus with black garlic sauce, a parmaggiano pudding, delectable in simplicity, halibut in green curry broth, roasted pig, short ribs in potato foam, a feast of cutting-edge delights. Not to be outdone, desserts cap the tous ensemble: a fabulous sundae with banana mousse and candied pecans, or astonishing Pigwich with maple bacon ice cream. ”

“Imagine that Pasta Pomodoro & California Pizza Kitchen got married and had a beautiful daughter. She grows up, moves to Sonoma to start her own restaurant. She is the Red Grape. This is where us Sonoma locals eat. The pizza are advertised as New Haven CT style thin & crunchy. They are that. They also come with your choice of 100's of toppings. I prefer the hand made pasta dishes here. Sonoma Pasta is made down the street. Ask your service person about the monthly special. My orchiette with sausage was in a clear broth, had cannnelini beans, fresh basil and loads of skinless Italian sausage. Giant bowl cost $13. Wine list is very Sonoma County. Again fair prices, generous pour in a Riedel glasses! The dining room is spartan, yet artful. Monthly art exhibits decorate the walls. Open back patio for alfresco lunch. Monthly wine maker events, too. Want to become a Sonoma insider? Eating here is a good start. ”

“I was craving taco's and I thought it was time to finally try mission neighborhood. I had a Carne Asada Tacos as MapleLeafGirl Suggested. She is right, thats all you need to know. lots of flavor and lots of beef. I got sour cream "photo below". I probably could have eaten four of them. One taco $3.50. ”
