We have lived in Sonoma for over 35 years and have eaten there many times and have always found the food great and atmosphere quite charming. We had not been there for over a year and last night we were craving lamb (which they always seem to have on the menu, so we went. They apparently have a new chef... more

Our B&B gave us a gift certificate to use at this restaurant. I'd have to say, we were really disappointed in the atmosphere and food at this restaurant. The best thing about it was the fireplace. The decor was pretty tacky and the food was overrated. My husband's paella was totally overcooked, and there was but one mussel in the... more

I read the reviews and heard the recommendations and talked my husband into going, but were we dissapointed. The food was just OK, the spanish tapas did not have the distinctive flair and flavor of well done tapas. It was all rather dull and underseasoned. It was the most disappointing dinner of our California vacation. Given what it costs to... more

Vineyards Inn was recommended by our B&B hosts. It was totally acceptable, without being outstanding in any way. The appetizers/tapas were nice, and the Mexican main course wasn't the usual plate of enchilada slop. Prices were reasonable by Napa/Sonoma standards, but hardly cheap. Overall, a pleasant experience without being exceptional. more

I sat down to write a rave review of this restaurant, and was surprised to see a couple of negative reviews. I can't imagine we dined at the same place! I've lived in Sonoma for eight years, and often take my LA foodie friends to the more expensive and Zagat/Michelin sanctioned restaurants when they're visiting. After today, I'm putting Vineyards... more

April 17, 2008 As residents of the San Francisco Bay Area we are blessed with an abundance of great food and wine. One of our favorites is located in the small town of Kenwood, approximately mid-point between Sonoma and Santa Rosa in the heart of the Sonoma Valley. This restaurant, the Vineyards Inn, is a place where locals and tourists... more

I travel often through Sonoma County's wine country for business, and have been pleased to recently discover the Vineyards Inn on Highway 12 between Santa Rosa and Sonoma. It's halfway between those two towns on what's known as the Valley of the Moon scenic route, a popular wine trail that runs through the heart of Sonoma County wineries. The Vineyards... more

We used to go here for their Mexican dishes, which weren't traditional, but had an interesting flair. We stopped in for lunch today and found very little Mexican food on the menu . At first we thought we had been given a dinner menu (because of the prices), but discovered that was not the case. We thought their lunch prices... more

Decent place for a decent meal. Great place for drink if staying in Kenwood. more
