Reviews for Sonoma Bistro in Rutherford, NJ
It was a cute place and the staff was great. The brie wasn't warm enough and it made it hard to spread but the apple cinnamon... sauce on the side was good. The whole flavor combo was really good i just wish it would have been warmer. I had the seafoodrisotto and it was basically flavorless, they may have forgotten an ingredient I'm not sure it was plain risotto with bits ofseafood which was generous. The bisque was really good and they were again generous with the seafood. My dinner companions hadthe pork chop with sweet potato and that was the best meal. The only downside was that they over cooked the chops so they were alittle dry. All the desserts were very good especially the Basque cheesecake it was to die for. All in all the flavorcombinations was on point. I would try them again in the event it was an off night. Read more
I order Sonoma burger and tell them to cook medium well Taste was terrible bc of dirty grill I had a feeling that I was eating... burnt pieces of some kind of food (such as meat, vegetables) French fries should be light yellow in color, and on my plate I hada terrible Potato of an incomprehensible color (100% fried these potatoes in old oil!) I'm sure that the kitchen thisestablishment is very dirty! I don't recommend! service was good Read more

Hidden local gem. Excellent breakfast spot. Very busy on the weekends. Quality food with fair prices.
This was our go to place for awhile. It WAS great prior to 2021. We gave it the 1 strike, 2 strike, and today was the 3rd... strike. Ordered the Baked Brie. Came out practically uncooked. I asked the server if the cook changed? Yes, the new cook islearning. Well, the teacher has apparently left the building. No choice but to send back and it came back out the second timeburnt. There was practically no cheese left from being overcooked. My SO was so hungry he ate it. I wanted to leave at thispoint now cause how was that allowed to be served to the customers? But we ordered entrees. SO had burger and fries. Fries wereterrible. How do you mess up fries? I ordered the seafood special of the day. I will probably be drinking water for the rest ofthe night because it was so salty. And we got charged for the sub par Baked Brie. The 3rd pic is for reference for when thingswere still great at Sonoma Bistro. I hope it can return to it’s previous glory one day. Also just noticed the 4% card fee ontop of lousy food. Read more
Amazing food, service, and overall vibes. We had the brie appetizer, and risotto short rib and the spicy Cajun penne. The place... was also BYOB even though we didn't partake. Definitely coming back. Read more

Came here for brunch with a friend. I highly recommend the steak burrito bowl, the empanadas were tre magnifque and the steak... burger was really good as well. The strawberry smoothie with almond milk was very fresh as well. Its byob. And you need to makea reservation in advance. Metered street parking only but on weekends its free. Read more
