About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
Since Rafael Palomino—Sonora’s Executive Chef and Proprietor—opened the doors to this, his flagship Latin-fusion restaurant, he has received accolades from a broad customer base, including an “Excellent” from the New York Times. This creative, Colombian-born (Queens-raised) chef and author of five cookbooks, has since opened 8 more restaurants that span three states (New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania). Sonora, like Palomino’s other restaurants, boasts excellent service and mouth-watering dishes, paired with an extensive wine list and cocktail offerings. In addition to impeccable service and delicious dishes, Sonora’s two-story home offers guests the possibility of having a custom-designed and catered on-site private party, for any occasion, from 12 to 110 people.

    I really loved everything once again. This is absolutely my favorite restaurant and the service was impeccable. Branzino was a hit and the empanadas never miss!

    Appetizer came out immediately and was piping hot. However, we waited almost an hour for the entree to come out. Reminded them and did not feel were updates in the reason for the delay. Food was delicious. Handed out dessert menus to us but never came back to take our order. Waited and gave up and asked for the check.

    I loved sitting in the garden area. Our group was able to have a nice conversation. Inside the band was good, but made for a noisy bar area.

    We’ve been going here for years and it never fails to please. Food was delicious and service impeccable, attentive, but not intrusive, and very timely. We noticed new, seasonal, items added to the menu and I was eager to try the lobster toll. Delicious! We will always go back to Sonora and bring friends too.

    Lunch here is not as polished as the dinner service. Drinks and food just aren't as good. Except for the guacamole, it was excellent. I recommend this restaurant for dinner but not so much for lunch.
