    Food was excellent and service was good. We would definitely go there again but the paella, even though is one of their signature dishes, was not the best there. The other dishes were better.

    Ambiance is great, bright, and staff are friendly and helpful. Its an open room design with wood, so noise level is a little high however not disruptive to 2-3 person conversation Food $$ is on the higher end of Sonoma dining, however the menu options permit it. There is a bit for everyone, seafood, meat, pasta Burrata was amazing. Carbonara was good, enjoyed the mushrooms, greens and bacon contribution to the overall flavor experience Wine selection appropriate for the venue (you will definitely find one you like) It seemed like a kid/family friendly. I did not have mine with me however would bring them if I did Good spacing for assist devices Definitely recommend the experience and will return next time i am here

    Cute spot in the middle of Sonoma, walking distance to many other great spots. The food is always really good here, as are the cocktails.

    The Brussel sprouts were fantastic. I ordered the short ribs and the Chicken entree was also delicious! The Walt Chardonnay went well with the crab salad and potato leek soup. I recommend El dorado kitchen, I always have a good experience. Even though the restaurant was full, the acoustics were good and it was easy to have a conversation.

    This is one of my go to places in Sonoma...always consistently good. Last night's meal was over the top. Best oysters I have had in a long time. My dining partner's paella was such a beautiful adaptation of this classic...you just have to order it to understand..it could be shared by two. I'll keep coming back!

    Super easy location on the historic Sonoma Plaza. Creative menu, excellent cocktails and always excellent service. The poke bowl and the spinach omelette are delicious.

    We had a great lunch/brunch here and were seated on the patio. Service was excellent all around, and our party of 5 each had a hard time deciding what to get to eat. This is my third time eating at El Dorado Kitchen, and I will definitely be back!
