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

Is this a grocery store or a restaurant? I don't get the allure here. I sat at a table in the aisleway where people were shopping. Food was okay, but not up to the old Lisa Hemenway standards. Would not go back here. More

My husband and I learnt we could order a full holiday meal at Fresh, and we immediately decided this was what we wanted, and this is our very favorite food place in Santa Rosa, where we live. We just ate this most delightful meal, and could not stop delighting at the range of delicate and delicious flavors. I had the... More

Just finally got to Fresh last evening with friends. Had the stuffed mushrooms and a beet salad (I'm veggie). My friends raved about their corn chowder w bacon soup, fresh roasted veggie plate and a New Orleans influenced sandwich with multiple types of meats, etc. then we topped it with Apple Parmigiana Pie (split one piece because we were full)....

The food is fresh, delicious and servings are substantial. It is quite easy to get a table during the week, but arrive early on Fridays and Saturdays for dinner. During busy times, the noise and music can get pretty loud, but you can still have a conversation with fellow diners. I love the Fresh by Lisa Hemenway decoration. It fits... More

I found Fresh on Tripadvisor and I wasn't disappointed. Great food and wonderful service. We were looking for some place to eat after wine country and before a performance at the Wells Fargo Performing Art Center, great location for either place. More

Stopped in to have dinner and try it for the first time. Ate at bar because restaurant was busy. Found the bartender, Dana, I think to be very knowledgeable and attentive even though it was busy. Food was awesome with a great menu. Service, cleanliness and menu are a great combo. More

Hubby and I had a great meal - sea bass for him, walnut torta for me. Interesting location: indoor/outdoor restaurant seating, as well as great grocery store. Easy to find. More

We visited Fresh 4-5 times while visiting Santa Rosa this past week. We loved the fresh food selection in the "to go" section, especially the roasted veggies, fresh fruit, and the almond chicken salad. We got take out to bring with us as we visited different wineries in the area and enjoyed a picnic lunch. We actually went back on... More
