The 1/2 order of Brussels sprouts was plenty for two. They were absolutely delicious! While it took a bit to receive our bottle of wine, it was a very good wine. The chopped salad was a disappointment. The lettuce was far from chopped. It was served in large pieces. The carrots were long peeled pieces. The dressing was meh. It should have had some blue cheese pieces in it. Overall, it was quite a boring salad. That said, we have eaten at El Dorado Kitchen many times over the years and will absolutely be back. It is a lovely venue and usually, the food is very good.

I usually stop here when visiting Sonoma. I believe the food is great but also great value. It's not cheap but you don't feel like they are gauging you like other restaurants. Most entrees including steak and seafood are under $40.

Four of us for Brunch on Easter Sunday. It was fantastic. Appetizers were Crispy Brussels sprouts and Salmon tartare. Excellent. The Paella was wonderful. The Halibut was great also. Lobster roll was okay. The Chilaquiles wasn’t the best unfortunately. Hardly any eggs compared to the sauce and chips. Overall everything else was great. Atmosphere is always good. Can’t wait to go back.

Easter Brunch at El Dorado Kitchen was superb! The food was delicious & the service was excellent! It’s one of our favorite restaurants in Sonoma & we feel so lucky that we are locals as we live in Sonoma less than 2 miles away so we can frequent the restaurant on a regular basis.
