Great little casual bar and lower key dining option at the beautiful Vintners Inn. The bar is dark and very lounge like but beautiful and they have a front room which offers beautiful views of the gorgeous grounds. They offer a well rounded bar menu with several wonderful small plate options. We are there twice during our stay and the fish tacos were a standout. The burrata was good, but the bread came overly grilled and buttered and was very greasy. The atmosphere is wonderful in there and the wine options were great. The service was friendly, but definitely lacking when it stands up to other dining options in wine country.
Tasty food and wine, in a cozy atmosphere. And, other than the server not asking us if we want water (we did), the hospitality was good. Mi amore, Suzanne, and I will definitely be back!
Very nice, very popular spot. Excellent bartenders. Matthew in particular is amazing. I find it very pricey, but Excellent. They do have a very popular happy hour.
This was our first visit to the Front Room, and it was great! We sat at the bar for Happy Hour (3-5p) and enjoyed delicious drinks and then ordered the fish tacos (added avocado at the suggestion of the bartender), and they were fantastic...so good that we ordered more. We shared an order of oysters...also fresh and yummy. The bartender made great drinks, was pleasant and helpful. We will be back.
Service can be hit or miss but the atmosphere and food is great. The chairs are getting very worn and uncomfortable to sit on.
I stopped in for the last 15 minutes if happy hour. I ordered the fish tacos, and a Negroni. Both had complex and delicious flavors. It was lovely. The bartender was very sweet and patient while I chattered at him about Stanley Tucci and Negroni trivia. I told the bartender that I was killing time before picking up my husband, and he said well this is a great way of doing it. He was so right. It was a very pleasant half hour.

This is the front bar at the delicious John Ash & Sons restaurant located at Vintner's Inn. It is a warm and cozy bar that serves the amazing food from John Ash. I've never been disappointed by the food or service here although occasionally the cocktails could be more upscale in flavors. But don't worry, there is a huge wine selection and being in Sonoma, you know you can't go wrong with that!
I would suggest you not sit at the table right in front of the fireplace as tempting as that may sound to do. There are a couple of recessed lights that some directly into your faces at that table, so best to tuck away on either side, and soak in the ambiance from an angle. This place is full lot ambiance that just melts away all the outside strife.
Enjoy a whiskey neat after a decadent dinner of risotto or one of their other incredible dishes and just bask in the comfortable big cushy seats and you laugh your evening away with friends or just repose solo in your own thoughts.
It's a beautiful place that will keep you coming back again and again.
Love coming here for drinks or a quick bite to eat. We live close by and it is definitely the best restaurant near my house. We lost quite a few restaurants in the area, but the food and drinks is always consistently good here. Love coming here
There were 4 of us in the back area of the restaurant & enjoying catching up with close friends until the restaurant placed a group of 6 close to us & they proceeded to raise the noise level so much that we literally could not hear each other. The dinner on the other hand was OUTSTANDING. The restaurant itself was fantastic & we will be back.
Amazing food. The entire staff is top-notch!! Special shout out to Casey and Thomas
Great happy hour. Love what they have done to accommodate people outside. Great tables right near The Vineyards and roses
A wonderful meal, and well worth the price point. The drinks were amazing and the wine list was excellent.
