                                    Disappointed in the service. We ordered carpaccio as a starter and the carbonara and scallops as mains. The mains showed up after only a few minutes and no carpaccio. We were looking forward to a nice relaxing dinner, but felt it was rushed on us. Being a Tuesday, it wasn’t that busy. You can do better elsewhere in Sonoma.

                                    El Dorado Kitchen never disappoints! Our dinner from the service to our entrees was exceptional from the truffle fries to the vanilla crème brûlée. Both the Salmon and the Filet Mignon were prepared just how requested and were absolutely delicious. Both dishes were updated for their Spring menu. Our server Jordon made our evening extra special by being personable and accommodating. (our special requests due to allergy and dietary concerns) We will be back again!
