"The pork chop was terrific....the mussels needed more flavor. They have jazz in the back room which is very nice while having dinner."

"This was our third time at Plaza Bistro and it just gets better. Our table included servings of: Osso Bucco (could have used a bit more sauce); Risotto (excellent); Hamburger and fries! (delicious); Chicken breast (particularly good). The wine list included many local items from Sonoma. The wait staff was really outstanding. For a busy Saturday night on a holiday weekend, we had excellent and lively service. We will definitely be back again and again."

"Dependable food and great service. Charming, cozy, warm atmosphere if seated in front half of restaurant, especially if you get a window seat you can watch the Sonoma shoppers strolling by while sipping on your favorite beverage. Feels European to me."
