Valley - Sonoma, California

Emily Ruvalcaba

The Valley Breakfast was an explosion of flavors. You could taste each ingredient with each bite.

The chilaquiles were perfectly spicy and each tortilla chip had just enough beans.

The side of bacon was flavorful and perfectly crispy.

We are going back tomorrow.

看到有米其林推薦滿心期待，吃完後失望透頂，用餐體驗非常差。
首先是座位安排，室內座位不多，被安排在室外的座位。但用餐當天下雨所以戶外座位區用兩張遮雨棚圍起來，但我們的座位在兩張棚子中間的縫隙旁邊，會有風雨透進來，因此蠻冷的。看到比較靠內側的座位附近有暖爐，詢問是否能移動爐火，服務生拒絕，這邊還可以理解，或許那附近客人需要。
點餐後我們大約等了二十分鐘才上沙拉，這時大約只有六成的座位有客人，因此上菜速度比預期的慢。我們點了兩道一模一樣的餐點（鴨腿麵），但兩份鴨腿的調味和肉質完全不一樣，其中一份完全沒味道又乾柴。本來想和服務生反應，但直到用餐結束都沒有服務生來詢問餐點有沒有問題，甚至我們用餐結束後乾等了十多分鐘也沒有服務生來，還要我們主動離座找服務生要帳單，看起來服務人手明顯不足。
最離譜的是服務生送來帳單時的態度，把帳單丟在桌上然後頭也不回離開，直接踩到我們的雷點，成為最後一根稻草。我們只給了$0.68元的小費，因為服務態度實在非常差勁。
整頓飯最滿意的品項是coffee+tonic，酸味和苦味搭配的很和諧，因此給兩顆星。

All-around excellent.
This is my vibe for a restaurant. Very chic, small, and lit by low light and candles throughout.
And then there’s the food. Wow it’s so good. Went with three others so we were able to share a great many of their plates, of which I imagine change over regularly.
Service was wonderful.
One of my favorite meals in quite some time.
Bravo!

Really fantastic flavor combinations. We tried most of the menu and I really liked the melon salad and the peanut noodle dish, but everything was really delicious. The French toast was perfectly done, the salad was fresh and delicious, the sandwiches were on fresh buns and were well made. This place clearly has a passionate chef with a good understanding of flavor.

My daughter and I stopped in here for a quick nibble at the bar. Our wine paired nicely with our hors d'oeuvres and my doppio espresso was quite tasty! We had a nice time sitting there mingling with staff and other patrons...and our server was very personable and attentive, which always adds value to the experience! Looking forward to coming back for a full dining experience!

They have a small, but not crowded indoor space. The back patio outdoor space is great. Covered by a tent and mostly out of the elements.

The service was inconsistent. Sometimes good and other times slow.

The food was a bit disappointing. Pecorino with fava beans 4/5, asparagus with Tonnato and capers 3.5/5, barbacoa 4.5/5, and the fried chicken 3/5.

Like most of Sonoma the wine choices were good.

Valley is a wonderful spot among Sonoma’s beautiful wineries. The restaurant feels cozy, and the food is really tasty. The service is friendly and attentive. And the wine selection is great! We had a fantastic time at Valley and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sonoma

This was something we came across last minute driving into Sonoma. We are big on brunch and thought they were still serving it. They stoped serving breakfast at 11 am I believe. So upon arrival everyone was nice and accommodating. We got a nice little spot in their outdoor heated patio which was great for our two pups. Jeremy was our waiter and was very nice. Unfortunately, we picked a place that didn’t have much of what we would normally eat so we wanted make sure everyone knew that everything was great it’s just that we stumbled across a restaurant that offers items we just don’t typically order.
Jeremy handled our issue with stride. Said let us know how I can help, served us, helped with any questions we had.
So overall a cute little spot!
