Petaluma Restaurants

Super cool that Petaluma had a real Tiki Bar, but so hard to establish any kind of “aloha spirit” in such a place. Creative and appropriate food choices, but not always “traditional” in their approach, (which can be good) and the full spectrum of cocktails to accompany (or lead) the dinner choices… but just something missing from the spirit of the place. It’s super hard to hire staff to measure up to such expectations, but the buzz is easily killed with hosting and waiting that just does not have that elusive “aloha spirit”. Probably impossible, I know. It does not help that I lived in Hawaii for 7 years and am missing the elusive “spirit”, but I’ll definitely be back to Kapu. It’s the best substitute for a Hawaiian vacation for now. And the food and drink left me wanting to return… just like the Aloha State! I’m just hoping to get some real “spirit” instead of the minimal “it’s just a job” attitude. I know, that’s a lot to ask.

Fantastic, as always! Two of my favorite dishes were on the menu last night: Buttermilk Fried Halibut Lettuce Cups & the Lamb Cabbage Rolls. So I was a happy camper🙂

Food was great as always. Service was excellent. I just wish that they would just raise prices rather than add a 4.5% service charge to the bill after the meal. If things have gotten more expensive, just be transparent but don’t sneak in extra fees. Wasn’t sure whether that $ goes to the restaurant overhead or the staff. Otherwise, a great meal.

Had a fantastic experience having Angie R. as our server. Excellent service, and food. Fast becoming the "go-to" spot for Petaluma!

Went for Monday Night Football, servers were phenomenal.
