“ Bambie & I decided to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary here, a good decision. Thoroughly up-scale Sonoma Plaza tourist hotel restaurant. Cuisine is Cali-fusion. My extremely creamy cesar salad dressing was contrasted by the piquant tapenade toast. Bambie had the osso buco. I had the roast chicken. Flavors were interesting, vibrant, distinctive. Prep perfect. Sides of lentils & Yukon golds were great comfort food. Chef worked @ the french Laundry. He paid attention while he was there. desserts actually were the highlight. My ice cream sandwiches were delightful. The caramel & fudge chocolate dipping sauces were extremely rich. Bambie had a fresh peach-strawberry-vanilla ice cream, almond granita with pistachio crumble dusting. It was incredibly refreshing. Oversized plates belie the portions that looked small. Optical illusion - We were stuffed! Wines are mostly local boutique bottles. Typical mark-up. We ate on the pretty outdoor patio. Total damage - $155 plus tip. ”
