This place is for real and have been there for ever. It is a fair drive from Napa valley and is totally worth it. The ambiance is amazing and the legacy reflects from every way that it is looked at.Washoe house not only serves delicious food and choicest drinks but also has a strange interior where dollar bills are pinned across the walls and ceilings. This is the way tipping works here.The service was great and my entire time spent here was merry. It was a highlight of my Napa visit. Don't miss it!

WE had heard of mixed reviews of this restaurant, but that things have changed. We loved the outside eating and drinking...(was a bit cold, but the heaters were great), and enjoyed the gardens..and the play area for the kids is a plus. We only had the french fries, but they were great with the special sauce. Loved the wooden tables, with the cool slots for silverware, a bit funky, but with flair!! The staff was very attentive and really enjoyed our time there.

I ordered the burnt ends and the blue cheese crinkle cut fries. The burnt ends were somewhat dry, and half were too tough to chew down. I was expecting something more tender. The fries were better, though we came for the BBQ. They don't seem to get much traffic at this end of town location - a problem with establishments in the Theater District. I'm not sure if we would go back - like Brewsters BBQ better.

It was extremely hot and we were very happy when we found this bar and it was perfect. Great selection of beer and they let you have two samples for free. Waiter was extremely nice and loved the atmosphere. Food portions are large. The hamburger was delicious. It was one of our favorite places in Petaluma

Petaluma, Population 59,440...where is one to find GOOD quality food late night? Luckily Speakeasy is staffed by a bunch of nice insomniac hipsters whom serve up quality meals late into the night until 2am, 7 days a week. Amazing! There's also a nice enough selection of draft beers, wine, and craft cocktails. $6 Papas Bravas...I spent 10 days in Spain, and this was better than any Spanish tapas spot I visited. The potatoes were nice and crispy, and the sauces was creamy and delicious...just a little too spicy. $10 Polenta...this classic creamy corn Italian dish with a twist: blue cheese, bacon and egg transforms this into tasty all day breakfast-like meal. Tacos...we got 2 salmon and 2 steak tacos. As San Diegans, we safely say these are creative but good at the same time. Unfortunately they were just luke warm when they came out to us. 4 tacos for $16, or 2 for $9. $11 Veggie Burger...as good as a veggie burger can be. My one warning is that Speakeasy is a TINY place with 5 inside tables and 5 bar seats. Outdoor seating is available, but winters in Petaluma can be freezing, at least for us San Diegans.

I love this old watering hole. A very fun place with a great menu, great beer menu, nostalgic vibe that caters to everyone. Fantastic service. I had a happy hour beer and calamari with a fried chicken salad with BBQ ranch dressing

My family and I stopped in the the Palms Grill on our way to a couple of wineries in Sonoma Valley. We all ordered sandwiches. All were very tasty. What really set Palms Grill apart for me was how friendly the entire staff was. We had a nine month old with us (Maybe we need him around where ever we go!). All of the help just gushed over him. It was more than that, though. All were very genuine and the service was excellent. I'm glad we stopped in.

Another happening place in downtown Petaluma, all within a two block radius. There is seating outside alongside the river, but it was cool the night we visited, so opted to sit at the bar. Like the menu and choices of beer. Friendly staff, with many locals hanging out and enjoying the atmosphere. This is more a restaurant than a beer pub, but a good choice for either lunch or dinner.

Urban pub cuisine â quality burgers, salads, fish & chips, steak, and seafood; with an emphasis on local and fresh.

Great little gastropub set in a strip mall but don't let that stop you from eating here. They have burgers but also a good variety of other yummy things to eat - salads, tacos, stews, etc. Original local beers on tap. Friendly and knowledgeable service with reasonable prices.

What a super busy place! We ended up in the packing lot - way in the back, and that was on a Wednesday morning. Once parked and inside, we enjoyed our flight. Price for a âcustomâ flight of 4 beers was $9.75.Womenâs restroom was slightly reminiscent of a roadway bathroom and really needed service.
