It was a pleasure to sit at the bar and watch the excellent staff go about their business while eating a very good meal. Knowledgeable staff and a reasonably priced wine list with many local choices.

A menu filled with everything you love prepared by a chef who knows how to please. If you're lucky as we were, you will get one of Gilberto's tables. Knowledgeable, professional and loves his job. This was our first time there and met friends for lunch. Had wildly varied entrees, all excellent. Flavor is the perfect name for this friendly... More

We stopped here yesterday for a late lunch. We sat outside. They had umbrellas that provided some shade. People were moving their tables after guests left to get in the shade. A little rearranging of the umbrella placement would have fixed the issue. The service and food were both excellent. We both order burgers (seemed to be a special). One... More

We went to Flavor for brunch before heading out wine tasting. I got the Eggs in Puff Pastry. It was awesome! The potatoes that accompanied it was nothing short of fantastic. The service was great as well.

We took our family here when we visited Santa Rosa-it was there suggestion when we discovered Russian River Pub was booked and backed up. Flavor has a widely varied menu. Three of us had a shrimp and noodle soup that was very good. One had a majestic burger. And the other two I don't remember. All were satisfied. Service was... More

This is our "Go-To" place for consistently good food, whether my husband and I are entertaining, he's taking his mother to lunch, or we just can't think of another restaurant we want to try. The decor is calm and relaxing, indoors and out: Sitting on the front patio on a warm evening, having a great dinner and people-watching, is marvelous.... More

Yep! You read that right. Not only do I strongly suggest that you try it, they won't even look at you funny when you order it. We really got lucky with this one. We didn't find them on Yelp! Had to do a Google search and they popped up on Zagat. Don't hold it against them--they're great. Their breakfast is... More

Called them 3 weeks in advance to reserve 2 tables of 8. Then called a few days before to add another table. We ended up with 22 people. They didn't charge more, they gave a free mousse cake with candle to my nephew. We all ordered an assortment of things-from mussels to frutti di mare paste and everything in between.... More

My absolute favorite is the butternut squash ravioli! Yum! A little busy at dinner and it is wine & beer only at that bar... but other than that, super good food! Sit by the fireplace if you can!

We picked this place for dinner after walking and looking at many restaurants and menus on a Sunday evening. Something about the casual bistro style, menu selections, and other patron reviews giving it high marks really appealed to us. The prices are good, and the food is excellent. The manager and staff are friendly, and really went out of the... More
