    Loved this restaurant! Found it on yelp and thought we would check it out. The location is great, service was excellent and the food was delicious! We brought our infant daughter and they were very accommodating with a table that made it easy to pull the stroller up to. Will definitely be coming back.

    The restarurant is so small that it's really difficult to control the noixe level. We were seated a couple tables down from a large group, and were glad that they finished up and left about 10 minutes after our arrival. Other than that, the ambience was fine and the food was very good! We loved their acclaimed devilled eggs appetizer, the salmon and ribs were also quite delicious.

    I’ve always been impressed by the high quality of the food they crank out of that tiny kitchen. We had lunch at noon on a Saturday, and we were the only people when we arrived, so that’s why I rated the noise level so comfortably low. It’s probably higher when it’s busier.

    Oso is a gem in Sonoma. Great spot right on the square with amazing food. Try any special, it will be excellent. The shrimp and grits are downright amazing and will be our go to order. The oysters are also fresh and perfect. Good drinks, too. Thanks for the taste delight, we will be back.

    Good was excellent. Cocktails were good. Very good service. Two top tables are very small. Overall very good experience. If we go back as a two top, I’d suggest sitting at the bar. Very little room at the tables, but I’m sure rent is high and they are doing what they can. Our server was exceptional. We did the ceviche and rib eye for two. Highly recommend.
