Corey was amazing at the bar. His drinks were awesome and he was so personable! It was my birthday so we stayed for 2 days at the hotel. We will definitely be back! The whole experience was great! Just wish we could have gotten a late check out!

Stopped in for lunch after picking up my wine club order. I had the tostada which I loved. My friend had the lobster sandwich that she enjoyed. Our server, Tsering, was delightful. I've been here once before, but didn't leave a review. There were three of us and we all enjoyed our meal. Salmon, beef and I couldn't tell you what the 3rd person had . I would come back.

Date: Saturday, November 17th, 2024 Time: 11:15am Party of: 6 adults, 1 child Meal: Breakfast / Brunch / Lunch Reservation Made: via OpenTable about 2 weeks prior *Ham Omelette ($22) *Flat Iron Steak ($39) *Brunch Pizza ($22) *Bowl Soup ($14) x2 *Salmon ($36) *Vegan Plate ($25) *Fritto Misto ($20) *Truffle Fries ($14) *Kid's Pizza ($14) *Bloody Mary ($16) *Cleary Sour ($18) *Paloma ($15) x4: Well Tequila ($11) x2 *Lemonade ($4.50) *Pellegrino ($7.50) Our group was going wine tasting and wanted to grab a bite beforehand. After looking around at nearby spots, I decided on El Dorado Kitchen. (I've had brunch here prior, back in 2021.) It was rather easy to find a rezzie two weeks in advance, so no need to plan ahead much if you'd like to dine here. We were seated at their long communal table and had the end furthest away from the entrance. There was plenty of space between us and the party on the other end, so it didn't feel like we were really sharing a table. Food wise, my party loves fries. And when I say loves, they tend to order multiples to share. Since my steak came with regular fries, we only got one order of the truffle fries. (We were originally going to get two additional orders of fries to share between four people.) They were fried nicely and came with parmesan and chives. I didn't get much of a truffle aroma / flavor tho. The steak I ordered was cooked perfectly temp wise. A nice rare plus. We had a vegetarian at the table and he seemed to enjoy the soup. Another in our party tends to stick to healthier options and got the vegan plate and soup as well. He said the vegan plate was a big portion. I tried the brunch pizza toppings and they were fine. Drinks wise, I like my cocktails dark and boozy. I completely missed the note about the whisky sour being clear. I did not enjoy this. It tasted like a light watery syrup with a hint of liquor. So not my jam. My follow up, a double paloma was much better. Definitely enjoyed this more. Our server was great. Tho I think she had a bit too many tables as she was always at a different table taking orders, etc. We had told her we had a wine appointment at 1:30pm which she noted. When it came time to get the bill and pay, it was harder to flag her down. Convenient and easy place to grab a meal before wine tasting in Sonoma. REVIEW #3627

This review was a long time coming. I came into EDK for lunch a while back and had the pleasure of sitting out on their beautiful patio. I ordered the Angel Hair which was phenomenal! During my meal the restaurant appeared quite busy, but you never would've known based on the service. My server, Ulyses, was very attentive and took great care of me! Initially, I wasn't planning on drinking, but after I was recommended the La Pelle Chardonnay, I found myself convinced. I mean, who am I to turn down wine in wine country? Thank you Ulyses and EDK for a lovely meal!

I recently dined at El Dorado Kitchen for a friend's birthday and was extremely impressed by the service. The team helped get us seated early when we arrived ahead of schedule, recognized the occasion without drawing attention, and helped my friend's parents cover our first round of drinks even though they weren't present. One of my friends has celiac and the team was attentive to this. Now for the food. The drink menu offered creative cocktails as well as a full bar for staple drinks. I got a brown butter old fashioned that is definitely worth a try if you're an old fashioned fan. We started with a Caesar salad and Brussels sprouts for the table. The Brussels were AMAZING and the salad was tasty, though not my favorite presentation. I ordered the steak frites, which compared to how my friends enjoyed their dishes I wouldn't necessarily recommend. The fries were incredibly basic for the price and the steak was slightly undercooked (fine by me honestly, but not for everyone) and somewhat tough. It was still tasty, but I think for this menu there are better choices. Everyone else loved their dishes and everything in the restaurant smelled amazing.

This spot was one of our favorite breakfasts on our Sonoma trip. It's a small, intimate dining space with great natural light. The breakfast menu is simple but effective. No syrups or flavorings offered for coffee, but their mocha is excellent- not too sweet. I got the buttermilk waffles, which were tender and came with bananas and whipped cream- perfect sweet tooth satisfier. My boyfriend got the short rib hash, which was a delicious combination of vegetables, short rib, and seasoned greens. The dressing on the greens was a bit salty, but that was the only thing that was a miss for us. Food was delicious and service was attentive but not overbearing. Would definitely return to try more!

We came here for a wedding rehearsal lunch, and it was quite delicious! The appetizers were a bit cold when we arrived despite having come early, but they were still delicious. I got the lobster roll which seemed a bit unconventional since it looked more like a sandwich and had bacon as well, but the lobster was juicy. The creme brulee also seemed more like a flan. The service was great though, and the ambiance was private and well-set-up!
