It was great to be able to revisit the Mayo Reserve Room, and to share a lunch tasting experience with our friends. John prepared an excellent menu, and provided wonderful service. Our friends commented that Mayo was the highlight of their time in the Valley. If you're looking for a unique wine experience in Sonoma County, I'd highly recommend the lunch pairing at Mayo.

Street Social is one of my FAVORITE restaurants in all of Sonoma County. I can walk to the restaurant from my house, which is a bonus AND I'd drive an hour to eat here! Majorie is such a sweetheart and Javon is one of the most innovative chefs I've ever seen. Highly recommend!

This was a meal I will never forget (in a good way😊) The incredible experience was not just the food and service, but like a carefully choreographed award winning Broadway play! We were met by the Som and greeted with bubbles, our waiter was the bomb -Adam, he was awesome from start to finish, bussers were Andreas and Patience - EXCELLENT -Lilly was one of the pastry Chefs and there were so so many more excellence excellent members of Chef Rogelio’s team! he was amazingly down to earth, and clearly the orchestra leader of this production. I know I haven’t talked about food because there was too many items to recall, and they were each complex and delicious in their own way. Can’t wait to go back.!!
