   This trip was very disappointing. We sat at the bar and the drinks were good and the bartender was attentive. But the service was abominable. We ordered 2 courses and it took a while before our first course came. But then it was over an hour before my second course came. And my husband’s never came. By this time, the entire place had emptied out. So we left without eating our main. Don’t really know what to say about the food…

   Atmosphere was great, drinks at the bar were very good and service was outstanding. I had the steak and my husband had the fish. I would not recommend the steak, it wasn’t good and had an odd gravy on it. My husbands fish was ok, he also wouldn’t recommend his dish. We would recommend this place for drinks only.

    While the ambiance is nice at Agriculture Public House, the food was disappointing. Especially for the price. Hoping they can improve the flavor profiles as the menu descriptions suggest wonderful dishes.

    Thoughtful, careful California cuisine in a beautiful setting remindful of a petit Awhanee hotel restaurant, but on the Russian River in Western Sonoma County rather than Yosemite.

    A recently updated gem in Guerneville. We enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving afternoon dinner at Agriculture Public House. The atmosphere was lovely. Our server, Kendrick, was fantastic. The food was hit or miss, but it was a special Thanksgiving menu. We look forward to returning and ordering off the regular menu.

    Nice to be back on the 'ranch'. After a nearly 3 year hiatus (while they remodeled and updated) it was nice to be back in their 'ranch style' dining room. The food was really good, nicely presented and well served. From a décor point of view, the place needs a little 'punch up'. Nothing that deft lighting, white table cloths, white napkins and real candles [just hate these little LED candles--yuck) couldn't solve. The black napkins and table cloths seem more at home in a swanky city dive not a country river side bunkhouse themed place. The LED candles, and black on black theme makes the room look 'flat' and subdued.

    Bartender and service were great! Live music was a sweet touch. The steak and chicken breast were both a bit dry and chewy. Sides were great-focaccia and a pretty design on the soup. Our cocktails were outstanding! Lots to look at. Everyone friendly. Beautiful architecture and grounds. We'll definitely go back, but order different main courses. The bar bites menu looked tasty

    Lovely setting. Warmly greeted by the host and shown to a lovely table in the corner by a big window. Our server, Sarah, was a a delight! She was attentive but not intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, suggested substitutions were needed and a joy to talk with.

    Food was fresh, delicious and presented beautifully. Server was knowledgeable and made us feel very welcomed. The warm lighting in the room exposed the beauty of the wall finishes and ceiling. While it was still daylight you could see the landscape of the property through the windows. It was calming and peaceful. Liz and Jeff

    Pork chops were outstanding. Melt in your mouth good. Take mushroom dish off of the menu and look for a better vegan offering. Watch how long you cook the cod. One was cooked to a perfect doneness and the other was over cooked.

    Waited over 20 minutes before we were even acknowledged at table. Our first drinks were delivered after first course was allready delivered and finished. Food was mediocre.. WAY overpriced for what you get... Will never go back and i am a local and would love to support them. Total disappointment

    We went for our 21st wedding anniversary on 9/22/22 and was VERY impressed! Our first time here. Ambience was great, there was live music and good weather. Food was well portioned and tasted great. We had the Calamari appetizer, Cod over a bed of greens and Scalloped mushrooms. And a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. The service was great as well. Our waitress and her assistant were attentive and fun to talk to. Thank you for a memorable evening! We will be back!

    Great cocktails, beautiful scenery, food was perfect and staff is extremely nice and accommodating. Inside smells like cedar with a proper cocktail bar, outside surrounded by redwoods, fire pits and a large deck. Will definitely go back.

    We had a delightful evening. Because we had a 7:30 Sunday night reservation the restaurant was out of items we would have order. This is only reason I didn’t give five stars for food. What we had was delicious and nicely presented. We will definitely return.

    We ate outside on the deck on a slow evening and it was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the gorgeous views of the mountains and trees. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was farm fresh and well prepared. I had the veggie pasta with chicken and it was delicious--the pasta was freshly made, the vegetables were cooked al dente, the chicken was savory and the sauce was tasty, not too heavy. I will eat there again the next time I stay in Guerneville.

    Our meal started with being admonished for showing up at 7:05 for a 7:15 reservation and didn’t get better from there. Service was cold and awkward, and the food was heavy and inconsistent (our beet salad had rock hard undercooked beets and pasta was mushy and overcooked). They also seemed to be struggling with handling the volume of diners on a Saturday night. I’d recommend skipping and checking out Boon

    This wants to be an upscale restaurant, but wastes a beautiful bar and outdoor patio on ridiculously overpriced, tasteless food. One stuffed poblano chili pepper for $35! It was supposed to have cheese, spinach and a sauce, but only had quinoa and some kinda of tomato sauce (thankfully, after complaining it was removed from check). Daughter’s chicken was horribly dry. Honestly, the Guerneville taco truck down the street was a far better (and economical meal) or really any of the local restaurants on the nearby blocks.

    We had the hanger steak and the cod so we could share and both were delicious. The grilled veggies were an excellent side accompaniment. Our waitress was appropriately attentive and we had a nice chat at the end of our meal. We were the only diners eating inside, but the patio was full and lively. There was live music from a woman singing on the stage down below. The grounds are beautiful. The bar is very nice. Our meal did not disappoint. We will return for sure. Cheers!

    The setting was quintessentially rustic Russian River. The service was outstanding with Lynette. The food was divine - the flank steak was prepared to perfection and the substitution of pomme frites over the fingerling potatoes was definitely the way to go! Even the desserts were spectacular. We will be going back over and over and over.

    Really wanted to like this. I had been to this location in a prior iteration and was truly hopeful because the setting outdoors is beautiful. Unfortunately, they just don’t seem to have things down yet. The staff was awkward and the food was only ok. My husbands pork chop was bland and dry. My stuffed poblano was good but very small.

    I was really looking forward to this place based on previous reviews. I took my husband there for his 60th birthday. The service was not prompt. We were seated in what appeared to be an outer area (by the fireplace), so restaurant staff were rarely there. Most of us ordered the pork chop. One of our guests specifically ordered it pink. All of us received dry, over-cooked pork. The other plates were unremarkable. We won’t return.
