BARNDIVA

Not a Michelin-star experience,
Food - not exceptional.
Service - good mood but lack of attention to details as we had to pour ourselves the wine and water, the first course took a long time to arrive to the table.
We had been in restaurants with 1, 2, and 3 Michelin stars where you can feel the quality of food and service, not at Barndiva.

The flavors of the food was spot on and wine pairing was amazingly perfect. Best dinner in Sonoma .

This evening, I was with a group of 6 with a reservation for 6:45 pm. We arrived at 6:30 pm to find the restaurant at about 40% capacity. We were seated immediately and shortly after, an employee came and brought 6 glasses of water. Thereafter, we were completely forgotten for about 45 minutes after we gave our drink order. One of us was so tired of waiting, she actually ordered a drink at the bar and was immediately attended to. At 7:50 pm, more than an hour after our arrival, 6 tiny complimentary appetizers were served. They honestly were not good. We then proceeded to wait another 20 min for dinner to be served. It never happened. I spoke with the server who completely understood why we chose to walk out after paying for the drinks. I left the server a 20% tip as I don’t think he should have suffered for the complete ineptitude of the management. It was obvious that it never occurred to the manager, at the very least, that he or she should have at least made an appearance. I find this absolutely outrageous and unacceptable. We all remained cordial and courteous throughout this very unfortunate experience. I have close friends who own gourmet restaurants with whom I shared this incident. They both completely assured me that the manager involved would already be looking for another job

Yummy lunch!

Absolutely stunning. Wife and I celebrated our anniversary here and all of the staff were so friendly and felt genuinely kind.
The menu was out of this world.
