    We live in Sonoma and enjoy dining at EDK. Entrees don’t change much over the years so we don’t go there often. Food, service, ambience are all good. It’s a top 5 Resto in Sonoma town.

    Be aware: they just completed an interior renovation, and the paint smell is very strong In the dining room. My sinuses were bothered within 15 minutes. Very unpleasant. If you enjoy a glass of wine with your meal, you will be shocked by the mark-ups. All but one of the reds by the glass is $25 for a pour. Maybe this is why diners are not ordering wine when dining out.
    El Dorado KitchenResponded 4 days ago

We're committed to providing the best experience for our guests, and we hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

    Great food, once it finally arrived. Took over an hour for food to be delivered for simple lunch. Once it arrived it was delicious. Service was inattentive - only had one drink as too hard to get attention and order anything else. Average overall.
