   Our visit exceeded our expectations. I was able to order food I don’t usually find in most restaurants- white fish salad, potato latkes, bagels and lox, and chopped liver. The attendant offered to get my take- home order cared for while I ate in the restaurant. Service was attentive, and I plan to make regular visits. Love this place!

   I know staffing is difficult, but we saw a waitress a few times before taking our order -- she took our order and never surfaced again. Someone else brought us food and didn't know who got what so we did the food shuffle. A minor thing, but a thing. I was well beyond finished with my meal before I could get a second glass of water. So we didn't even see a busser. Another waitress closed us out. Would I still go back ... you bet! I loved seeing how full the place was which might be why we never saw our waitress again. Greeters were great and we loved our outdoor table. My sandwich was good, not remarkable, but good. One of my guests, didn't really like the cobb and the other guest loved her Chinese Chicken salad.

   Hostess ignored my special request when I made the reservation. The manager I guess came over to complain about my daughter’s stroller without consulting with the hostess first. Server kept forgetting about us. Tables that got there after us around us got their food before we did. Server never checked on us. The whole station had to flag our server down to get some service. The food was the only saving grace.

   Making a reservation for this wonderful noshery did not matter. We still had to wait 40 minutes and the host was super rude and disrespectful and disorganized. Other than that the food was true Jewish comfort food, and offered a lively fun atmosphere. As close to NY goodness as you kind find in the Bay Area!!

   Cute spot in railroad square. I highly recommend you get a reservation first since this place is SO good and many people know it. Definitely have to try the dumplings.

    Was in Santa Rosa to do some wine tasting. Ended up here two days in a row. So many delicious things on the menu. Could’ve gone back again. Will definitely stop by when in Sonoma in the future! Only sorry I didn’t get a photo of the latke Benedict.

    Actually was disappointed after hearing comments made by others who had dined there. Maybe I was just expecting too much because it is part of the Starks family of restaurants in Sonoma Co. They have a reputation for presenting good food in confortable/casual settings and for being innovative. I've never been disappointed at any of their other restaurants but something just missed the mark on this visit. I would like to try their breakfast/brunch menu before crossing Grossman's off my short list of fav food destinations. FYI - I had the brisket which was very tender but the sweet/sour tomato sauce drowned out and overwhelmed the brisket.

    Fine food and experience. Did not get two orders with other orders. No eggs on two orders (main part of the entree). Service great. Waiter great! Gave us discount, but overall just an ok experience with ok food.

    Food is good, but service poor. Waitress was NOT friendly. I ordered Irish coffee without sugar and it came with out whipped cream. Waitress never returned. I finally was able to get attention of another to correct the mistake.

    We made a lunch reservation, but no table was available. We were finally seated after a THIRTY minute wait. We then sat for another 10 minutes with zero servers making an appearance. We finally had to ask for water, which we never got. Our server finally took our drink order and 15 minutes later our appetizer (which we had to call our server back to order) finally arrived - still no drinks. Once the drinks arrived, our mains came quickly. The food was tasty. After about three minutes our server “checked” on us, then vanished for 45 minutes. No opportunity for more drinks, no other contact until the check came which was delivered without “can I get you anything else?” Just “here’s the check no rush.” We went there to celebrate my moms 78th birthday - we stated it was a special occasion and no one, even after I told the hostess, acknowledged that either. Good food, extremely large (too large?) portions, but service was terrible, noise level was ridiculously high, and we generally felt completely ignored most of the time. I will not be back. I love the Stark’s restaurants, but this one was a lousy experience.

    Grossman's is the closest thing we get to a deli in Santa Rosa and Sonoma County. I am grateful for the ability to get knish's, latkes and matzah ball soup, smoked salmon and Dr. Brown's creme soda! The food at Grossman's is always delicious and slightly elevated and I appreciate that having eaten at Langer's and Canter's in LA. I brought my friend who was visiting from out of town and she loved it! Great service, great food and an atmosphere conducive to catching up with an old friend. I'm kvelling!

    I’m a New Yorker so I hold my delis to a high standard. Grossman’s might not quite be Katz’s, but it is surprisingly good with a great menu that includes some Middle Eastern and old school specialties. The smoked fish, bagels , soups and chopped liver are good and the portions are large. You won’t be disappointed.

    Having eaten lunch 3 times I was excited to take my family for my daughters birthday. When I made the reservation there is a box for special requests/comments and I requested they bring a dessert so she would be surprised. That didn't happen and I'm not sure if they read the comment. But, in their defense the waitress did bring a cookie when she brought the check. Not quite the same but .... The ambiance for dinner wasn't what I expected. The lights are very bright almost shockingly so. We were a bit taken aback. The food however is wonderful, flavorful and well worth the $$. Overall we had a lovely time.

    We enjoyed the food and ambience at Grossman"s Noshery and Bar. I did ask the server what is "AMBA" , and the reply was a sauce; however there was no description of the AMBA sauce or its uses. We've been to several Stark's restaurant and the servers were always enthusiastic about describing the dishes on the menu. We had the brisket and the stuff cabbage and the dishes were excellent.

    We made reservations and we were seated right away. We waited awhile and finally a server helped us. It wasn’t her table but she took care of us really well. Getting the check took a bit and no one was clearing our dishes throughout but somehow it was ok because the food was so good. We’d definitely go again. Corned beef hash and the Barlow burger were delicious and the peach Bellini was heaven!

    Having lived many years on the East Coast, I was really looking forward to trying Grossmans. Unfortunately, it missed the mark for my husband and me. First complaint is the rye bread served with the pastrami sandwich. It doesn't taste or look like rye bread. The flavor took away from the sandwich. The potato latkes were equally disappointing. They tasted more like smashed mashed potatoes rather than thin and crispy as one would expect. They were also burned on the bottom which didn't help with the flavor. The chicken matzo ball soup was good, the matzo balls were a bit hard but tasted fine. I didn't really understand the spaghetti in the soup or the wontons, but maybe that was a creative touch although it didn't really add anything to the soup and was difficult to eat. Try eating spaghetti with a soup spoon. Sadly, we won't be returning or if we do, we will just order a burger.
