    Super easy location on the historic Sonoma Plaza. Creative menu, excellent cocktails and always excellent service. The poke bowl and the spinach omelette are delicious.

    We had a great lunch/brunch here and were seated on the patio. Service was excellent all around, and our party of 5 each had a hard time deciding what to get to eat. This is my third time eating at El Dorado Kitchen, and I will definitely be back!

    We were very excited to celebrate my husbands birthday and they did a good job of acknowledging and celebrating with us. However, the service was terrible. Not only was is terrible for a restaurant asking $150/person - it was terrible for Applebees. We had to constantly ask the server for the table next to us for help with silverware, food, and drinks. We did not receive our drinks until 5 minutes after our first course arrived. The paella was overcooked and burnt. Dessert was mediocre and not freshly made. Overall, especially given the price, this restaurant is entirely a skip. 100% do not go here - you will be disappointed and will waste your money.

    Been there many times in the past, but not in the last year. Our mistake ... finally made it back. Rediscovered how good the food, service, and experience is regarding this gem. Do yourself a favor and don't hesitate to get the Salmon or the the Carbonara. Unique and best ever. JF

    Love everything about this restaurant! The ambiance is fun and upbeat, the choices to order are really great and something for everyone...A friend needs to do a lot of substitutions due to health and they were open to it with no problems...some places are no subs or only one!! Lily was amazing!! She was always there when needed but didn't hover..it was a birthday and everyone was great and the food too. Always been a favorite!! Kat Montgomery
