Lisa Hemenway has a way with food, but I don't know if the price is worth it.

First time to Lisa's Fresh Restaurant in Santa Rosa only a few minutes from my home. Excellent service, friendly confortable atmosphere, relaxing place to be. The food is exceptionally stunning, in taste and in presentation. I had the Tuna Melt with side sald and beer on tap. My husband had a Ruben, with beer. WOW!!!! It was so delicious and... More

A great place for a casual weekend lunch on your way to visit wineries. We went after hiking at Annadell State Park and our jeans and hiking boots were no problem. We had the smoked salmon omelet and the reuben. Both were extremely tasty and, thank goodness, not too salty. The combination restaurant/grocery store has the ambience of the wine... More

Went there with four people one evening. We all had different dishes, and no one really liked theirs. Nothing was bad, but nothing was that great. Maybe the chef had an off night....

I recently met a couple of friends for dinner at Fresh and it was excellent. We were looking for an easy, comfortable venue with great food and we found it. I had the vegetarian lasagne and I loved it. It had fresh roasted vegetables, spinach noodles, fresh tomato sauce and just the right amount of cheese. The helping was also... More

It's been a while since I've been to Fresh, so I thought I would check it out again. Good news is, they have turned on the heaters, so it wasn't cold. Bad news, the staff is just as inefficient as they were when this place first opened. Good news, more food options. Bad news, expensive and really poorly presented. I... More

Fresh is what Sonoma County is all about. If you only dine out once while you are visiting this is the place to go. If you live here lucky you, then you can go all the time.

As in previous visits to a Hemenway restaurant, the food was interesting, creative, attractive and very, very good. All four of us remarked on the quality and presentation of our meals. But, as been the case in the past, service was lackluster. Other than a pleasant visit by Lisa, the wait staff seemed less than interested. Our waiter never smiled,... More

We went for brunch on a Saturday. We both got omelettes. Mine was over salted and barely warm. The service, however, was excellent.
