Best Restaurants in Sonoma

29 restaurants analyzed · Napa / Sonoma

Sonoma Plaza anchors a dining scene that leans confidently towards special occasion meals, with strong American and Mediterranean restaurants making up the backbone of what's on offer. The Californian influence runs through much of the cooking here, with local produce and wine-country sensibilities shaping menus in a way that feels genuinely rooted rather than performative. Prices sit firmly at the higher end, but the quality and setting tend to justify the spend, particularly if you're looking for somewhere to mark an occasion properly.
