Flavor

Date visited--9/29/2006 Ambiance--This restaurant is casual at best, yet it maintains a fine-dining feel at the same time. Service--Superb service. At Flavor, if your drink is empty & needs to refilled, you will never have to ask. Your waitress will notice it & refill it. The same goes for the bussers--out of drink or bread? No problem. Immediate service is given. The staff are family-friendly & great to interact with. Food--Let me tell you, they've the best food ever! Flavor offers fine-dining quality at an IHOP or Carrows price. I'm very picky w/ my food & refuse to eat anything that's spicy, cheesy potatoes, or pasta & garlic mixed together. But at Flavor, I make an exception for each. Price range--The most expensive item is the Flat Iron Steak at $17.95 (I know it's a bit expensive but trust me, it's worth every penny); the cheapest item either One Egg or Toast for $1.25; non-alcholic drinks range from $1.00-$3.50; the average amount of money I spend here for a full meal for one person is $20-$24. What I had~a Coke, standard bread served w/ all meals, & small portion of Linguine with Clams. Cleanliness~This portion of the review I base upon the state of the restrooms. Let me just say that I've never seen it messy, & it's always well-stocked. Website~www.flavorbistro.com more

This is a great place to go for a drink with friends or with a date. A real hot spot for the biz. crowd at lunch time. And a great place for kids. They offer an extensive wine and a great beer selection as well. My friends tell me they have the much sot after "Death and Taxes" beer. The food is just wonderful. All is organic, not hormone in the beef and all Sonoma County products are used. Not of the food is "fancy" but all is just plain good!! You would expect to pay top dollar for this kind of restaurant in Sonoma County, but a family can afford to eat here. They have a kid friendly menu with such things a PB & J, and buttered noodles offered. A must have it the crab cake, I have tried many, but this is the best around!!! And the service is wounder as well. If you are in Santa Rosa and have not yet tried Flavor, run now and go there. more
