Wit & Wisdom

Food was great, server was great. Overall service was awful and is not what you should expect from a Mina restaurant.

Hostess was a mess, tables were late, parties were receiving conflicting information. After having to wait almost an hour past our reservation the manager had the guts to rush our order since kitchen wanted to close.

As a local I will have a hard time going back.

We were amazed you had no flutes for the lovely champagne we had. Will bring my own next time.

Excellent food , good service, in an environment well planned given the limitations of the pandemic.

Love this spot -- very city feeling restaurant out in Sonoma!

Beautiful outdoor dining, felt very safe, delicious food, excellent service. So glad to have this restaurant in the North Bay!

Absolutely amazing staff offering wonderful personal service experience! The food was 2nd to none! Loved it and went 2x’s during my stay.

Great food and great service - can't wait for COVID to be over with so we can experience the bar.

Wonderful food, great service and a nice atmosphere.

Everything was delicious. The ambience was elegant and all social precautions were taken to make everyone feel comfortable. Gorge was personable and we were celebrated for a special nomination that day. They made us feel TRULY special. Many many thanks! I can't wait to go back for dinner. And don't miss the 14 layer crepe cake!

After four dinners here, I had my first lunch Saturday. Excellent from soup to nuts.

I'm a fan. Period.

Great service on a weekend evening. Inventive (and tasty) menu with a wide variety to satisfy everyone in our group of six. Consistent high quality as we’ve experienced at other Michael Mina properties.

I had brunch and dinner here and both were delicious! I've already told my family and friends they need to eat here. I'm definitely going back again soon...

Wit the filet was cooked to perfection; the wine that the sommelier recommended was a perfect pairing. Their Eggs Benedict are delicious, served with duck fat fries, definitely a winner. We took some friends of ours and they ordered the French Toast for the table - best French Toast we have ever had! They loved it so much that they want to make it a monthly thing!

The food was amazing!! Service was also fabulous, and ambiance was perfect for our outing.

Excellent meal and service

Excellent dining with delicious & interesting vittles. Delectable mushroom toast, a light crab app in endive, etc.
Service was super attentive and a delight. Plenty of room, nice ambiance and staff.
This restaurant met our highest expectations.

We had a great time. The service was very good, and everyone had masks. They wiped the tables down and I wish they could wipe the chairs where you pull them in and out to sit down.

The food was outstanding! We had the salmon, heirloom carrots, little gem salad, pop tart and the chocolate bar. Our friends ordered two pizzas and they were the best in Sonoma and they had the 15 layer cake that they liked.
Bring your own wine and pay the $25 corkage!!! Prices were ridiculous on wine!
Good service but the ambience was awful. We were in the back room which was pretty enclosed but also drafty. Few heaters. Not at all attractive.
We’ll wait to go back when it’s warmer or Covid is finally gone.
Lovely indoor area we walked through but not yet available.
Dress warm!

The service was amazing and the food was fabulous - we will definitely go back! Thank you.

Great place to celebrate two anniversaries with another couple! Offered complimentary sparkling wine which tasted amazing (forgot to ask what it was but it was so good). Everything was exceptional! Catered to a vegan, and gluten allergy.

Our waiter was incredible, would give extra stars!

We enjoyed experiencing this new restaurant. The mushroom toast was delicious. The savory pop tart was lackluster. The pastry seemed a bit stale and the filling was dry. My husband really enjoyed the salmon and I had the scallops which I enjoyed just found it a little salty. We shared the citrus crepe cake which was fabulous and very creative. It might be even nicer served warm. There seemed to be a lot of staff around but we still poured our own wine and water. We were not able to bring up the menu with our phones so the waiter brought us a paper copy.

Our service was top notch!!!!! The food however did not meet our expectations. Chicken dinner was awful, cold and mushy almost as if it was not cooked. Pizza was large portion and tasty but cold upon delivery, scallops had no flavor. We had heard nothing but amazing reviews about this place and chose to meet our friends here that we only get to enjoy once a year. Very disappointed sorry to say.

The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. Even with all the crazy COVID restrictions they still made this a great evening. The mushroom toast was by far the best thing we had. This place is not to be missed.

Food and ambiance were very good - service was ok (delayed seating and delay in getting wine list not appreciated since we had to drive 1 hour to get to restaurant). Would go again but will need to make res time much earlier and hoping inside dining will be available soon.

Anniversary

The ambience is great, but the food is just okay.

I have to say I wasn’t very impressed. We ate there twice during our stay at The Lodge and while the food was great, they still need to work on their service. I also think they should give priority to hotel guests over non-guests. As someone traveling with limited options, I tend to rely on the hotel restaurant for meals. Because this is a celebrity chef restaurant, we couldn’t eat dinner until 9:00pm because we didn’t know we needed a reservation to eat at our hotel.

Also, I don’t feel they are really following the COVID protocols. The space they are using for “outdoor” is not really outdoor (completely covered and walled in), the staff does not wear gloves and then they touch your silverware as they put it on your table. I’ve been to several restaurants during COVID and others do much better.

A pleasant surprise and most welcome addition to the town Of Sonoma.
Lots of excellent options for brunch and a well done outdoor set up.

From the reception to the end of meal.. everything was fantastic.

The level of food and service was excellent. It was everything we could hope for Anniversary dinner. The staff was informative, professional and extremely mindful through these difficult times. We ordered everything Dillon and John re on ended at they were tight! Outstanding . Chi Chi was especially knowledgeable regarding the food and made sure we were as comfortable as possible. It was good to see that Wit and Wisdom recruited the best of Sonoma, seeing my favorite staff members from other eats around town, including MacKenzie, Michael and Vincent. Our new favorite place in town. Oder the pop tart! It’s the best!

Great experience. Best overall food, service and ambiance in Sonoma. Definitely raises the bar.

While the food was delicious there was somewhat of a strange vibe, something seemed a bit off. Our waiter was attentive at first, but after that things changed as other diners were seated. We got our wine quickly. Tables that were seated well after us began to get food, while we waited for our salad. We noticed that our waiter was now spending lots of time at these same tables. It was like we no longer existed. We pretty much had to flag him down after that.

Also, not sure if this "outdoor" space meets Covid requirements. It is only partially open on one side only.

The food, wine list, employees and setting were all fabulous!

Great new addition to Sonoma dining! The seafood selections are fantastic and we're delighted to have more dining close to Sonoma Sq.

Fabulous cappuccino (even oat milk), GF mushroom toast & GF toast under Classic eggs Benedict. A birthday dessert w/ handwritten bday note. Can’t wait to go again!

Food was outstanding. Especially dessert. Can't wait to go back.

Creative food, great service laid back but elegant!

Great outdoor ambience, fantastic service, and the food was equally fantastic as well.

The staff and the food were both wonderful. The downside is that I had a reservation and still had to wait 45 minutes to be seated. This is excessive.
