   Highlight of our evening was the service. While the menu and meal were impeccable, the quiet sophistication of the dining room and the perfect attention and knowledge of our waiter made the experience the best we've had in Sonoma.

   This was a cozy and romantic outdoor dining experience. We went on a Tuesday night which made for a quiet, seemingly private experience. There were some guests who curiously looked and one couple stopped to ask about the food. The ski chalets are decorated super cute and can fit many people at the one table. It was adorned with furry blankets both to sit on and to throw over you along with cushy pillows. There was also a tall standing heater and a fire pit so it’s definitely warm enough. Our servers were very attentive and both food and drinks came out in a timely manner. The holidays cocktails were well balanced. We also chose the cheese fondue which came loaded with a plate of vegetables to dip. My favorite was the broccoli and potato. We also splurged and got the chocolate fondue for dessert. Again, very flavorful but less fruit than the vegetable plate. Both were priced at $35 each. Drinks were in the $20-$27 range which is steep but normal for a Fairmont. The grounds are lit up for Christmas with music playing as well. It was a very pleasurable Happy Hour experience and we’d definitely go back for this or the dinner experience. One thing to know is to check the restaurant days/hours in advance. You’ll need to know to check in at the bar if you go on a day the restaurant is closed.

   What a lovely, elegant restaurant with a well-prepared variety of dishes. Excellent service by professional but fun staff with a sense of humor. It made a special dinner all the more fun. My friend had the duck breast, perfectly cooked; I had the Mt Lassen trout also perfectly prepared and seved with mini potatoes and vegetables. The espresso Gelato was a little bland but the espresso martini rocked! The bar is also a lot of fun with great staff. Mussels were very good and so were the plentiful fries. I recommend spending an evening in both places!

   Not worth the money. Service was terrible and food was mediocre at best. The Swiss Chalets feel very “zoo-like” with hotel guests and others walking up and down the path staring at you while you eat. It’s also extremely cold - we knew the chalets would be outdoors, but when it’s 60 degrees out, you assume there’d be some method of heating. Instead it was a single heater at the entrance of the “chalet” that did virtually nothing. Not a fun experience and certainly not close to worth the $400+ it cost.

   We had so much fun. The buffet was laid out in the beautiful lobby with a fireplace. The food was great, anything we would want for a Thanksgiving meal. The staff was accommodating and professional. Our server very personable and I really liked the guy at turkey station, he was sweet and good at his job. I would recommend Sante for any special occation.

   This is for the Thanksgiving buffet, which is always special and delicious. This is our second time going: myself, my wife and 2 sons. Food is plentiful and creative, but a lot of the items that we wanted hot (meats, mashed potatoes, stuffing, yams) were barely warm and some were even cold. That said, service was amazing: very attentive, warm and kind and we were able to take our time. It was also not very crowded, so we had a great time!
