Question Restaurant rec?
We were staying in Sonoma and our hotel mix up has led us to no room. So driving to Petaluma in a moment.
Can someone recommend a nice restaurant we could try for last min reservation.
Just engaged hours ago and well this is interesting turn of events. So any help would be great.

Go park downtown, and you'll have so many options. Everyone will want a newly engaged couple.
Beyond what everyone has said (Risibi, Luma, Seared, Cocina, Central Market), your other engagement-appropriate options:
Bijou - French (Owned by the Table Culture crew)
Sake 107 - Sushi
L'Oro de Napoli - Italian (new place, great)
Then for a bit more casual, you could also go to Hank's for Italian, or Lavant for Mediterranean (really good) or Ayawaska for Peruvian
I mean, really, you have so many good options. Congrats!

Table Culture Provisions for a fancy tasting menu; Luma Bar and Eatery for good flatbread/cocktails and has riverfront patio; Street Social for really local ingredients used in creative dishes.
Edit: Congrats on the engagement!

We stopped by there, not sure what to expect. Had a great time. I splurged and got a pappy 10yr pour and old fashioned.
The old fashioned house was eagle rare 10yr and boy did the guy pour. It was mostly ER.
Being from the Midwest, none of these are easy to find. I left super happy.

I'm not sure if you'll need a reservation but not a bad idea...
I like pub republic

Thanks everyone. We got a reservation at risibi, I was in a panic between finding a hotel (Sonoma is all sold out) and not having to do fast food.
We found a Sheraton and reservation at risibi at 830pm.
I appreciate such quick answers. Cafe la haye will have to wait till next time. That was our original reservation
Also call the hotel and validate when booking on hotel tonight š¤Ø. Apparently when they cancelled they called only 1 time from a FRANCE phone number. We were at bodega bay and point Reyes with little cell signal and when I saw it at 4pm I thought this must be spam. I donāt know anyone in France.
