Since Rafael Palomino—Sonora’s Executive Chef and Proprietor—opened the doors to this, his flagship Latin-fusion restaurant, he has received accolades from a broad customer base, including an “Excellent” from the New York Times. This creative, Colombian-born (Queens-raised) chef and author of five cookbooks, has since opened 8 more restaurants that span three states (New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania). Sonora, like Palomino’s other restaurants, boasts excellent service and mouth-watering dishes, paired with an extensive wine list and cocktail offerings. In addition to impeccable service and delicious dishes, Sonora’s two-story home offers guests the possibility of having a custom-designed and catered on-site private party, for any occasion, from 12 to 110 people.

    Food is always excellent at Sonora. You have to learn to pace the service though. Waiting too long is obviously not good but when everything is served at your table even before the drinks are here and the waiters are starting to take off your plates before you even have finished eating… obviously there is something wrong. Nothing that is irremediable, but needs to be worked on.

    Our group of six really enjoyed every bite. The upstairs room was much more quiet. Although we enjoyed the live music when we walked in , it would’ve been challenging to be so close to it and still talk. Upstairs was perfect.

    Love this place and have been going there for years. Only complaint is it tends to get loud once it gets busy. Food and service are generally very good..

    We enjoyed delicious appetizers and main dishes. Vegetarian paella and an eggplant meatball, well conceived, beautifully presented, and carefully prepared: a satisfying bite. Steak frites dish, a perfect medium and hand crafted frites were above expectations. Chocolate flour less volcanic cake exceptional. Best greeting, excellent service throughout. We shall make this a frequent dining experience.

    Excellent Latin fusion restaurant. First, the eggplant meatballs were delicious along with the ceviche. The seafood and lobster paella was outstanding. The rice was not dry. Really flavorful. Two of us had the filet mignon with rice peppers and onions also outstanding.
