   The seafood paella was very disappointing. The rice was almost white (instead of the normal saffron yellow) and it was burnt so bad. The seafood on top was ok but I would not call this a good paella.

   We live in Sonoma and enjoy dining at EDK. Entrees don’t change much over the years so we don’t go there often. Food, service, ambience are all good. It’s a top 5 Resto in Sonoma town.

   Two of us shared the wagyu beef carpaccio, beet salad and paella. All were great and a little too much food. For the paella, I like salmon that’s medium rare so they brought the whole salmon steak rather than pre-cutting to cook it. It came out perfectly was not overcooked like it typically is in paella. Lots of seafood in it so I can see why it is a signature dish.

   Be aware: they just completed an interior renovation, and the paint smell is very strong In the dining room. My sinuses were bothered within 15 minutes. Very unpleasant. If you enjoy a glass of wine with your meal, you will be shocked by the mark-ups. All but one of the reds by the glass is $25 for a pour. Maybe this is why diners are not ordering wine when dining out.

We're committed to providing the best experience for our guests, and we hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.
