   Great happy hour, staff was exceptional and fun. And the food was a good value and tasted wonderful. Had the blood orange margaritas - lots of ice but overall they were winners.

   We were initially seated outside on the gravel area. There was a nasty smell (from the bathrooms?) so bad that we asked to be reseated. We were reseated in the large table in the back between the kitchen and the patio. Initially, the predominate smells were from the kitchen. Once the kitchen "stopped" actively cooking, the nasty smell returned. Suggest you check this out.

   Always delicious! In my many meals here, I have never had a dish that in any way missed the mark. They pump out some great food from a very small kitchen. Impressive. Nice space right on the plaza with a lovely patio in back. Only qualm was service. The server was super gracious but clearly over-worked. He appeared to be covering the majority of the restaurant. I know staffing is a challenge, so I hope they are able to work through this soon. But don't let this dissuade you...just be patient. It's worth it.

    Nice place with above average food. The long, skinny layout makes it difficult to generate a nice ambience, so that’s not a strength. The patio in the back is very nice when weather allows.

    Our experience was wonderful. A very creative restaurant. I loved our waiter. The ambiance of the room was very lovely, modern and simple. I loved the beautiful presentation of the food. The menu looks seemingly simple but in actuality from what we ordered I would be willing to bet that every dish would be presented with the exact beauty and wonderful unique flavors as we received. The Roasted berries and pretzel on vanilla ice cream was the absolute perfect dessert, not too filling but so interesting and delicious. We found the music a bit loud for our taste, a bit more calm would be appreciated from the chaotic world outside. I would definitely include this restaurant on your destination list the next time you go to the town of Sonoma!

    Oso is the little spot on the Sonoma Plaza that can easily be overlooked but please don't. The kitchen, as small as it is, does an amazing job creating the dishes served. We started with oysters and they were some of the cleanest and perfect sized ones I have had. We then ordered our salad and entrees. I had the halibut and I wouldn't hesitate to order it again. It had layers of flavor from the romesco sauce/kale Romano beans accompanied by an olive tapenade....delicious! My daughter had the Miso Glazed King Salmon with garnet yams, sesame, bok choy, pickled veggies and scallions full of flavor as well. The presentation of both dishes was superb. Our salad choice was the Caesar which we shared. I kind of wished I had ordered my own and I most certainly will next time! I highly recommend Oso to anyone visiting the Sonoma Plaza. I am looking forward to my next visit to this wonderful restaurant.....cheers

    We were very excited to try OSO, the reviews looked like the food was good & the space was cozy. When we arrived at 7:15 for a 7:30 reservation there were 5 tables fully open so we asked if we could grab a drink at the bar before being seated - sure. The bartender was lovely, friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming- the drinks she made were outstanding. She was the one high point of the evening. We were almost immediately asked if we wanted to move to our table, we said we'd like to enjoy our drinks first - was that okay? Sure. But then strangely we were asked two more times so we quickly finished our drinks and moved to one of the many open tables. Our server arrived promptly- told us the specials and asked if we'd like to place our orders. My husband gave him our wine orders and we ordered bread, but asked if we could wait to put in our food order (at 7:40). He said well I wouldn't wait too long the kitchen closes in 10 minutes. What???? So we made fast decisions to get our orders in - the food came out fast and was good but the whole experience was beyond rushed. Literally our food was out, we were done eating and bill brought and we were out the door by 8:30! I've had meals at Chilis that I've lingered over longer. We felt super rushed and like we were holding up the staff by actually ordering and eating our $90 meal at 7:40PM on a Saturday night. NOT good. Our one legit request and complaint about the food - there is zero on the mains menu that is not fish/seafood, only a $58 steak for two. Not an option for protein add on salad, not a steak or chicken for one - nothing. So we opted for just small plates of oysters (my husband not me), patatas bravas and Brussels- plus the bread & butter. No protein for me. We asked the waiter if any accommodations could be made - he didn't even go ask the kitchen, just a straight no. So if you are allergic, intolerant or don't enjoy food that swims you're out of luck and are stuck with sides or ordering a steak for

    Good food, great service. Went there and shared a variety of small dinner plates and drinks. Forgot my wallet, but Apple Pay came to the rescue, which was a relief. Local feel, which we like and look for; will be on our short list the next time we're in Sonoma.

    One of the best meals we’ve had at a restaurant in a very long time. Overall experience was exceptional. Service was personal and attentive, just the right amount of presence. Ambience is just as described on website; rugged, warm, charming, and quiet. Meal was out of this world delicious. We started with the brussel sprouts and shared the seared NY steak for two; it was so tender and the chimichurri sauce was incredible. I’d give six stars if it was an option. Thank you OSO!
