Salt & Stone

Salt & Stone came highly recommended by a friend, so we made reservations and drove up for a date night with high expectations. The wait staff was friendly, and our experience started off strong. The appetizers were excellent: the raw oysters were fresh and firm, the French onion soup was fantastic, and the duck confit was very good. The calamari was perfectly paired with a really tasty aioli, and the fresh bread was a highlight; warm, flavorful, and seemingly homemade. We loved the black salt served with the butter. Oddly, the bread that accompanied the duck was not great, but it didn’t detract much from the overall appetizer experience. Unfortunately, the reason for the three-star rating comes down to the entrées and the service toward the end of the evening. By this point it was close to 9 p.m., so perhaps the staff was winding down. We ordered two filet mignons—one with scallops and one with lobster—both medium rare. Sadly, both steaks arrived overcooked and bland, closer to medium or well, with no real depth of flavor or sear. The mashed potatoes and vegetables were also underwhelming, even with the addition of truffle sauce. The lobster itself was fairly good and the portions were generous, but overall the dishes were disappointing enough that we didn’t finish our plates or take leftovers home. Adding to this, we were unable to get a water refill for nearly the last hour we were seated. Our server was very pleasant at the beginning of the meal, but service noticeably dropped off as the night went on. We truly wanted to love this place. If we ever return, it would be during a warm afternoon to sit on the patio and enjoy oysters, appetizers, and cocktails, those alone would have earned a five-star review. It’s an adorable restaurant and absolutely worth trying, but personally, I wouldn’t risk ordering another entrée here.

I just enjoyed a visit here for the first time. Such an amazing gem! All of the food was delicious. Highly recommend the duck leg confit, calamari, and steak tartar. We enjoyed the wine and cocktails too. The wine was great quality and amazing value compared to some of the lists I see. It feels right given you’re literally surrounded by vineyards. Lovely outdoor area and patio that’s dog friendly with a great dog park down the road. It’s fun for the whole family! Service is also attentive and personable. I can’t wait to comeback.

Excellent food and great atmosphere! Everything we tried was delicious, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. Definitely a spot worth visiting in Sonoma.

We stopped here for lunch after a travel day. It was a delicious lunch! So many tasty options on the menu. And great cocktails! We started with the hummus and the spicy prawns. Both were good. Loved the pickled onions on the hummus and the shrimp had nice heat. The bread they bring is nice and crusty and love the salt on the butter! Everyone enjoyed their entrees. The patio is beautiful with a lily pad covered pond in the middle. And lots of umbrellas for shade. Service was good, not the speediest but friendly. I would definitely go back as many other dishes and drinks sounded great.

Authentic French cuisine with top notch customer service. The view is stunning. I will be going back as often as I can.

We loved our meal here. The Brussels sprouts were the best I ever had. My husband loved the crab cakes and the snapper. I had the truffle Mac and cheese and it was amazing. Highly recommend.

Such a great restaurant in every aspect. Beautiful outdoor setting, excellent food and reasonably priced. Great wine selection from much of the Sonoma area... Always great service-love this place!

All around an incredible experience. If you enjoy oysters (or think you might) I HIGHLY recommend ordering those. If it's a nice day, do yourself a favor and sit outback on their patio and enjoy the gorgeous views. The food is excellent, the staff are lovely; you won't be disappointed.

First off, several months ago, the person at the main desk was very snotty. I mean SNOTTY as if we didn't exist. We were there for early dinner and dressed casually but does that mean we should receive snotty service/attitude? Second, we went back for Valentines Day and while overall the food was excellent, the bread was awful ! It could been from Safeway and the butter was hard to spread. Third, the tiramisu was AWFUL. The worst dessert I have ever eaten. Didn't look like tiramisu. The cheese seemed over churned/over whipped so that it tasted like butter. Will never order that dessert ever again. It was so rock hard and dense it could have been used in a baseball game. Wish I had taken a picture of it. Fortunately the drinks and main entree were excellent. Might go back. Unsure at this point.

Valentines lunch at Salt and Stone was a good call. Our travel time from Napa took about 35 minutes along the scenic route of Hwy 12. We were promptly seated as we had made prior reservations and I'm glad we did as the people trickled in and soon enough the place was busy. Our server was polite, nice and attentive. We started off with 6 oysters, crab cakes. The crab cakes were good, the oysters not so much. My Louie salad is good nothing much to rave about. I wish I ordered something more than that. Maybe next time. We finished our lunch with flourless chocolate cake and off we go afterwards. I will definitely be back when it's not too dreary out and enjoy the gardens.

My girlfriend and I celebrated New Year's Eve with a visit to Salt & Stone. This is one of her favorite fine dining experiences. We were greeted by Niambi, a friendly server who has a sense of humor and is easy to communicate with. She was prompt about helping me navigate my dietary restrictions and my girlfriend described her as "charming." I got the Brussel Sprouts, which were perfectly cooked. There was delicious complimentary bread which we ate three plates of, we are ashamed to admit. My girlfriend got the Lobster Bisque and New York Strip. She called them "muy delicioso." The space was a cozy respite from the rainy day. Our table spacious. The lighting was warm. There is a beautiful bar where I will certainly get a drink from next time I come in. We shared the Blood Orange Sorbet, which was a perfect end to a perfect evening.

I've been spending annual mini -vacays here in this valley for decades and I only stumbled onto this great wine country resto just this year. And so glad I did cuz now I wouldn't mind in including them in each visit from here on out. It rained on this particular trip in the fall months and even for a weeknight dinner, this place was still quite poppin' with mostly locals. That speaks volume. Since it was raining no one was sitting on their heavily landscaped patio with koi pond and vineyard glimpses. I still took a look out there just to get a sense for possible future outs, and it's a major greenlight. Started with a local Pils that I had never ran into: Cuver Bell Road's Pilsner. I had just finished a wine tasting just down the street and after tasting several types of wine, my mouth just gets kinda fatigued from the tannins and bold acid of wines. When I took a sip of this crisp Pils, it was the refreshment break my palate was waiting for, so...damn...perfect. Probably one of the best Pils I've ever had, not brewed on that side of the pond. I'm already searching on how I can get this into my home fridge. Trust. French Onion Soup ($12/5*) Since it was a grey and rainy day, it seemed almost everyone in the bar area had a bowl of this under their face. I haven't had this soup in ages and it just hit so perfectly on this evening. Perfect natural beef broth that wasn't too salty and studded with super tender caramelized juiliennes of onion that each bite so comforting and warming. And a big crouton which softens quickly sitting atop that onion-y broth and a thick layer of ooey gooey gruyere completely melted onto the toast, so as you took a bite of that cheese-y crouton a huge cheese pull ensued. Messy, hearty, satisfying. Probably THE best French Onion Soup I've had, and I've had it from many French bistros. Crisp Skin Salmon ($30/4*) Okay the salmon part was perfectly executed. Interior of the salmon was tender and moist, and the skin was crazy crispy like potato chip crispy. I love when chefs leave the skin on fish dishes and even more impressive when they can elevate it. Very simply seasoned that even though I enjoyed the simplicity, I felt it could have had an extra element to make it pop, like some herbs or a light sauce of some sort. This salmon sat atop some risotto that was heavily mingled with fresh corn. I think they took fresh corn, pureed it until it got all creamy so they basically had creamed corn. Then they used that to enrich the risotto. Great vibrant corn flavor but the rice to me just seemed more like wet rice versus risotto. Also there were just some halved raw grape tomatoes around the dish, which did add a pop of acidity and some color to the dish, but just felt the dish really could have used a significant vegetable component, like chard, broccolini or haricot verts. But still an enjoyable fish dish. Too full for actual dessert so I just had one of their Old Fashioned for a night cap. Theirs has a dab of marmalade to it and does make it fruity sweet. I enjoyed the sips but liked it more after I poured a splash of cold water into the drink, it made it more juicy and not so tight and hot. An awesome find and add to my Sonoma wine country trips. Just good ol fashioned wine country food without getting all tweezerfied and obscure. Fits me well, cheers and see you again!

Another satisfying visit! Solo pop in to grab a bite amidst vacationers and locals enjoying beautiful weather. Sat outside in front (views are so pretty) and I scarfed down the gluten-free hearty fish tacos. Very good! Server's were beyond excellent, professional, friendly, super helpful. Impressed all around again.

The staff at Salt and Stone graciously accommodated my party of 11 as we were able to be seated outdoors by the beautiful pond and at a secluded table to ensure privacy on a week's notice. Our waiter was funny and efficient. Food was great for brunch. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and the grilled and raw oyster appetizers were tasty. Portions were generous. The bread pudding for dessert was a crowd pleaser. Highly recommend for your next big party or brunch.

Salt & Stone has great rural chic ambience; solid service and a decent libation offering. The food was a bit mixed... Octopus with Chickpea purée was fantastic, Pate was also yummy (but the toast was too dry), and would not order the Brussel Sprouts. But will give it another try some day.

Came here to celebrate a galantines. I had lunch there and food was phenomenal and the service was great! I will definitely be returning and try their dinner menu. The views are beautiful and the drinks were great! 10 out if 10.

I'll definitely come back here! Salt & Stone was very gorgeous. Their menu was great, we couldn't decide on what to get but we had a little bit of everything, very delicious! Service was a bit slow, they kept forgetting stuff also. All in all, very enjoyable experience.

Where do we start, oh that's right. Let talk about the delicious aroma as soon as you enter their parking lot. You can smell top tier food cooking in the air. The place is packed busy with customers, servers, managers, and hostesses. It is live, upbeat atmosphere yet relaxing and serene. Love the outdoor seating near their coifish pond with floating lotus flowers. It's super busy so if this is where you'd like to sit near- be sure to state that in your reservation. We set reservation online and our table was ready upon arrival. The food- easy 10/10, their butter! Don't know what they put in that thing, but the best butter we've had! The scrumptious lobster tail dipped in that butter will have your eyes rolling back. The filet mignon cooked to perfection was another filling prize on the plate. Along side with mash potatoes and grilled veggies- the dish was over the top satisfying. We had some zero proof cocktails as I'm withchild and they were also really good. The service was super, the managers also walked from table to table to ensure every guest was enjoying their time and meal. Overall, great experience. We look forward to coming back and trying their other delicious items on the menu, or I just might not be able to break away from the surf n turf. We shall see. Highly recommended

Had a chance to retry this restaurant, especially after Stella opened. Food was good, ambience great and service ok. It was a bit breezy outside but what a beautiful setting with the lily pad filled pond and beautiful evening. Service was ok as there were large gaps in service. But they did honor our request for pacing of appetizers, then salads and mains. The baked casino oysters were wonderful and truffle fries good. They even split our salads(which were huge). The seafood pasta was good, filet excellent, blackened snapper good and seafood stew good. We were stuffed and didn't have any room for dessert. Btw the outside chairs are very uncomfortable! The cushions do not extend to the front edge so terribly uncomfortable with the lip cutting into your thighs.

Food was tasty, atmosphere was tranquil, service was good but not exceptional! Went to the bar area after Sunday lunch! Bartender was friendly and made sure we were attended to! Will try eating in the bar area next time!

Went today for first time. Food was amazing. Started with soup - both the chicken tortilla and the French onion. Awesome. Second up was crab cakes - tatsy. Main was the burrata flat bread - did not realize that kalamata olives were part of the chutney, glad we got it on side. Food was delicious. Service was good.

My family swears the food is great but so far not my experience. My wife went with them a month ago, and couldn't cut her pork chop. This time my steak was so like warm the butter didn't melt, and the "salad" was roughly $2 per piece of lettuce. I wanna like it, but so mid. The quality of the steam was pretty disappointing, tons of huge fat chunks I had to cut out

Along the beautiful drive between Sonoma and Santa Rosa on Highway 12 is Salt and Stone. It was a warm evening and we wanted to sit outside and enjoy the view of vineyards and mountains. It's been one of our go to places when we host friends from out of town and this was an amazing meal. Our waitress was extremely nice about giving us time to catch up while we ordered drinks, starters and main entrees at separate times. The peppered burrata and oysters were a great start, the freshness of the oysters as it is nearing the end of the season. The green olive tapenade gave a salty and savory texture with the creamy burrata on a crisp crostini. For mains, the short rib was cooked beautifully, melting in my mouth with just the right amount of fat left on the meat to add flavor and not feel too chewy. The polenta was rich in color with a slightly sweet element that paired well. The sole was breaded to perfection and the filet was flaky. The only thing I'd want to add is a touch more salt on the fish itself as it tasted as though the lemon caper beurre blanc was carrying the flavor of the dish. The Calabrian Linguini was rich with the garlic and herb sauce. The clams were cooked well and there was plenty in there to fill one's appetite. We had no room for dessert unfortunately, but we were satisfied with a great meal as always.

Very nice restaurant and the staff is really friendly and highly qualified. Delicious food and very nice ambiance too

What a wonderful restaurant! I have eaten there before and never been disappointed. The ambience and service are superior. The food is delicious and artfully presented; as filling for the eye as the stomach! What ever you order will be wonderful!

We stopped by for lunch after visiting Pine Ridge and a great spot. We sat outside in the patio area and it was perfect because it was such a beautiful day. We started off with the charcuterie board and then ordered our mains. No complaints about the food, everything was perfect and the pond in the background was such a treat. The koi fishes were beautiful. The service was a tad bit slow but we were in any rush.

We usually love going here and have always enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere, but this Valentine's Day visit was disappointing. Our server seemed rushed and impatient. She wasn't rude, but there was no personal acknowledgment, and it felt like she didn't want to be there. At one point, our bill was switched without any apology or explanation. The food, which I normally enjoy, was also bland this time. Unfortunately, it just didn't live up to our past experiences.

Great happy hour menu, delicious, reasonably priced, pretty restaurant , plenty of outdoor seating. We were heading to Healdsburg for wine tasting and came here and lucked out on happy hour (11-5 pm M-F) and ordered from their happy hour menu which was pretty amazing. One thing I would say with sitting outdoors was there were plenty of flies and gnats that became overwhelming at times and annoying (even with the help of a fly fan). I did ask for water a couple of times and never got and they might've forgotten. I would also recommend that the server be more mindful about clearing empty plates from the table to create more space when bringing out new food.

I was hosting a group of 16 people for a day of wine tasting the Sonoma area and we came here for lunch. We did arrange the reservation ahead of time and just had to put a credit card down to hold it. We ended up not doing a private room reservation but actually ended up in their side room all by ourselves. It ended up being a really great meal. Food and service were wonderful. Everyone loved their food. We had all kinds of things - burgers, oysters, onion soup, salads, pastas... you name it, we ate it. I did the Dungeness Crab Louie Salad: Baby Lettuce, Romaine, Avocado, Boiled Egg (I held the egg), Cherry Tomatoes, Cucumber, Broccolini, Olives, Louie Dressing. The crab was very fresh and flavorful. Loved all the toppings. The salad was a good size - not too big, not too small. Overall a really nice salad. I definitely will be back if I am in the Sonoma area.

Absolutely gorgeous outdoor patio with large fish-filled koi pond. If you dine here, you must sit outside if possible. Mango Tacos were good. BBQ Oysters, not so much. Waiter was fantastic. Would give 10 stars for his service. Glad we tried this place.

Having dined at some other restaurants in the area, I was actually quite surprised by the size of this establishment. It's easily 4-5x larger than most restaurants you'll find. Thankfully, they have a very large lot (+ extended lot in the dirt) so parking is usually quite easy. The menu is vast. If you have dietary restrictions or are quite selective in what you like, you're almost certainly guaranteed to find something you'll enjoy on this menu. Big menus make me worried because it's hard for a kitchen to master a large number of items, but overall, the food quality was quite good. It's far from the best food in the area, but there are a lot worse options. We started with the steak tartare, which was phenomenal - super fresh, tasty beef with the perfect accompaniments. I ordered the pork chop for my entree and this thing was absolutely massive - be prepared to take some home or come very hungry if you're going for the pork chop. The bavette steak was nicely cooked with a nice crust and great flavor. Overall, we were quite pleased with the food. If we were up in the area doing wine tasting and wanted a solid spot to grab a bite, we wouldn't hesitate to stop in at Salt and Stone, though it wasn't so exceptional that we would drive out of our way to go again.

3.75-4 stars. The service was great. Lots of staff, attentive, friendly! Started with spicy shrimp. Shrimp was cooked very well and I like spicy food but this was almost inedible. Had to take off sauce and add lemon. And again I like spicy but this was whoa! There were 5 shrimp so nice portion. Crab cakes were tasty. Light and crispy exterior. Not fishy. Lobster tail was very tender. Nice portion! Perfect amount. butter! Veggies were over salted and mash puree was meh. Stuffed sole special was nice. Margarita was boozy! lovely! Bread service 5 stars! Warm, crispy outside! and Warm salted butter!

First time trying Salt & Stone this weekend for a celebratory lunch. The restaurant is beautiful, they have a nice outdoor patio for sunny days with a pond. The inside is dark with a lovely ambience. They have a fully stocked bar in a seperate room as well. Plenty of parking out front and in a side lot. There are several wineries located around the property giving it a beautiful ourdoor view. I came here with my husband for lunch -- we ordered cooked BBQ oysters, calamari, lamb burger with fries, and the gulf prawn & scallop tagliatelle. My husband and I were not fans of the oysters, I felt they were filled with too much BBQ sauce which overpowered the taste and flavor. The calamari was delicious and crispy, it came with two sauces on the side -- I would have preferred a lighter sauce or an aioli but that is a personal preference. The entree's were unbelievably delicious. The lamb burger was out of this world! It may be the best burger I have ever tasted. The lamb was juicy and it paired so well with the feta cheese. The pasta was delicious as well, the prawns and scallops were cooked perfectly and the dish was a perfect size. They had so many fun cocktails and holiday drinks on their menu, would love to try them next time I'm here. We thoroughly enjoyed the service we received as well. We were checked on frequently for waters and drinks and the food was brought out quickly. 4.5/5! Thank you for a fantastic meal!

food was 10/10. Seat at the bar service was great, wait time for food was fast. We got there around 3:30-4pm We came on Labor Day so there wasn't any happy hours they don't do happy hour for holidays just a heads up

While staying in Sonoma for a quick weekend trip, we found Salt & Stone and were so glad. This place is wonderful. Aside from a spectacular menu, our waiter and Staff were what made our experience so memorable. It's worth the quick drive.

Salt and Stone...The worst service ever this afternoon at the bar. Marissa, or Larissa, was the most inadequate server ever she just really didn't care about much! This is the second time that I have witnessed this treatment from her. I will never go there again. And as we are all in the industry, this great place of gathering Will NOT be what we recommend to our guests. There are so many gracious and welcoming businesses in Sonoma (just drive a few miles and you are in restaurant heaven, like el Dorado Kitchen and girl in the fig, and one of my favorites, Valley) Places where they have fantastic food and they treat you really nice, from the moment you walk in you feel warm and welcomed...disappointed-in the service at Salt and Stone.... it's amazing how one person can ruin your whole evening. And it was such a perfect day.

Stopped by here on a late Sunday afternoon. Decided to sit outdoors because of food smell indoor. Food was great, especially the duck confit. My calamari was good, not greasy at all. Local beer was good& good. Quite busy then so waitress service was just adequate.

We had a very pleasant experience dining here. The highlight was the melon salad - a perfect mix of sweet melon, savory soft feta, crunchy roasted pistachios, and tangy yuzu vinaigrette. I added some grilled Bay prawns. I would come back just for this dish! The warm sourdough bread that was brought to the table was perfect for mopping up the leftover dressing. We shared the floorless chocolate cake with butterscotch sauce and candied pecans for dessert - also delicious. My guava mimosa was tasty, but I couldn't taste the guava at all, unfortunately. Patio seating near the pond, and with a view of the nearby hills, was blissful. I hope they have fans or misters for the days when it's hot, as was threatening on the day we came. Our servers were so kind and polite - if anything, a little overzealous, bringing utensils we didn't need and pushing certain menu items hard. I'd love to come back, and try Salt and Stone again!

Had a party of 6 who needed to meet for lunch on a Saturday. We were able to get a table in a covered patio that was warmed by overhead heaters. Though kind of stormy that day, outdoors in the covered area was comfortable. Service was prompt and efficient. We ordered a few items for the table + individual entrees. Everything was delicious including the tomato soup of the day and flatbread we shared. Happy to come back next time I am in Sonoma.

This place is a gem! From the service to the location. My boyfriend and I found this randomly on our drive to my work event which was right across the road from Kunde Winery. We had plenty of time before the event so we stopped by to get a glass of wine and a few appetizers to share. We got the calamari, cooked garlic and parsley oysters and raw oysters. My boyfriend and I both agreed that we could have ordered a handful of the cooked oysters, they were that delicious! I don't usually like my oysters to be large but these were just incredibly. Also the service was great, we got seated at the bar right away and got happy hour prices. We told that staff we were short on time and they were beyond responsive with check and service. I am looking forward to having another meal there without rushing out as fast.

Ambiance is beautiful, clean and modern inside; beautiful and spacious outside and surprisingly cool even on a 95 degree day on 6/18/25 outside under the patio cover with fans looking out to the koi ponds and vineyards. Even further outside there were plenty of umbrellas to provide shade and I could also see heat lamps available for cooler nights. The service was impeccable. From the water, to the bread, to our waitress everyone was friendly and perfectly attentive without being annoying when we wanted some time between a drink and appetizer before ordering food. Speaking of the food and drinks... Hibiscus Margarita:10/10 Old Fashioned: 9/10 (prefer a large ice cube) Crab cakes: 9/10 (mostly crab but needed a smooch more sauce) Filet with scallops: 10/10 (both steak and scallops were perfectly cooked but I didn't love the blue cheese sauce on the steak so just pushed it to the side as it wasn't necessary even though I love blue cheese). My husband and I cook a lot at home and are pretty good cooks so we do have high expectations when eating out. Make a reservation now. You will love it!

11th May 2024 dinner service Made a dinner reservation here with great expectations Unfortunately the service left us disappointed We were left waiting at our table for a good 10 - 15 mins to place our drinks order After placing our drinks and kids food order, we never received our complimentary bread - while the tables next to us were serviced promptly with a welcome complimentary bread Our server had to be flagged down to get her attention for requests - she was underwhelming & not attentive Food was a a solid- 8/10 Drinks were a 9/10 Dessert was super 10/10 Kids loved their Mac & Cheese I truly wish the service would compliment the quality and price of the meals at this beautiful location

We had an excellent lunch yesterday! It was fairly busy especially for a Tuesday...our server Ashton was excellent - very knowledgeable about all of the foods and wine! We had the crab and shrimp melt - 1/2 as an appetizer, the special salad - blackened chicken mango arugula avocado - yummy! And the Poke Bowl. All of the food being served around us looked delicious! Can't wait to return!

So there are two sides to This story. The outdoor area of the restaurant is beautiful. Our cocktails and appetizers were very good. Then we ordered dinner. We chose a rigatoni bolognese (there was no meat sauce on it), a linguini with white clam with inedible clams and undercooked pasta, and a vegan gnocchi that was truly so bad it had to be sent back. Clearly pasta isn't their forte and perhaps should be rethought as an option. Our server was lovely and so helpful. But the piece de resistance were the rats. Yes, RATS. Like I mentioned this restaurant has a gorgeous outdoor area in the fields near the vineyards, but rats? They did not seem to be phased by This. I do not know how to rectify that situation, but maybe don't have an outdoor area where animals congregate. Again, drinks and apps were great. The Calabrian shrimp was the highlight. I just don't think rats and restaurants should be in the same sentence.

Hello Salt & Stone,  My partner and I were in Glen Ellen and came by for lunch on Monday. We had a great time, and the server (female, blonde) was fabulous. She even brought ice water for our pup and a spinning device for the fruit flies. We had two kinds of oysters: Beau Soleils and Miyagis. I made a note that the Beau Soleils were deep cupped, very creamy, and were particularly delicious.  Two days later, on our last night here, we decided to go back for dinner to have the Beau Soleil oysters again. We ordered four of the Beau Soleils and two of the Skookums, two alcoholic beverages, a French onion soup, the seafood stew, and the bavette steak.  The drinks arrive, but the oysters take a long time to come. When they arrive, the Beau Soleil oysters were not the same as we had on Monday. When I tried to explain that to our server, Maurice, he became very defensive and said he wasn't lying and that I could come back to the oyster bar and look at it with him, with the caveat that if I was wrong, he'd comp our bill, and if he was right, we would have to tip him 100% gratuity. This is an absurd thing to say to customers. We are not trying to go to the back of your restaurant and litigate this matter or get a free meal. We are trying to enjoy our meal and not stress over dinner.   At this point, it's clear that Maurice feels like his honor is attacked. He then asks another staff member to bring a Beau Soleil and a Miyagi oyster so we can confirm the types at our table. This is just too much. Do you train your staff to do this? We are being publicly humiliated in the restaurant. The staff member returns with the wrong oysters (ironic, no?); so Maurice has to tell him to bring the right ones. At this point, one might recognize that maybe staff sometimes confuse the type of oysters as they might have on Monday.   The staff member returns, and we agree that the ones that we wanted are the deep cup ones, which today staff is telling us are Miyagis (unlike on Monday when the person who brought out the oysters said they were Beau Soleils). Maurice seems satisfied that he is correct in identifying the oysters and starts to leave our table. But this doesn't resolve what we came to have. And when we tried to explain to him that we actually wanted the same oysters as last time, he tells us that we have to pay for the ones on the table because that's what we ordered, and we can order additional ones. Maurice says that he will get the manager, and that we can speak to him. The manager comes and he's great. He just offers to bring the oysters we want. At this point, we are 30 minutes into the meal with no food, oysters coming and going from our table, and multiple visits from staff trying to identify the right oysters. This whole dinner has now become a farce.  The new oysters come, and we have them in silence, and it's just awkward. The meal is pretty much ruined. Then before the entrees come, I try to let Maurice know that he wasn't wrong, and I wasn't saying he was lying to address the misunderstanding, and he doubles down and says that I did. Well that's that then.  We order another round of drinks and the entrees finally arrive. We eat in silence. We left with a bad taste in our mouth for a meal that is almost $200. We just wanted to have a good time and enjoy our last night here, not litigate oysters with your staff. We will not be coming back here again nor can we recommend this place that treats customers this way.

Stumbled onto this place... we were actually driving to a winery, saw it, and decided to u-turn to check it out. And I'm so glad we did! Once you enter it's far nicer than it is from the outside. There's a whole beautiful water oasis running through the outdoor eating area that really sets a peaceful, relaxing and happy mood. There's an indoor dining area as well which I just didn't happen to explore. The service was quick, and our server was helpful and pleasant. I ordered the Ahi Poke Bowl and it did not disappoint! It delivered on taste and presentation, and was a perfect medium sized portion. The price points are a little high, but it is located in the Napa area so it was to be expected. If I'm ever in that area again I'll be going back for sure... wayyy too many items on that menu I wanted to try! Pros: - service, speed and kindness of staff - ambiance of outdoor area - abundance of free parking Cons: - none

The seafood here is divine. Literally- I can't stop thinking about their plump fresh clams cooked in a perfect wine sauce. We came with friends and were seated outside in the beautiful outdoor space. Our server was sweet and offered good recommendations. I died and went to heaven eating their cioppino which was quite hefty in portion, strong garlic flavor, and most importantly, so fresh. I appreciated that there wasn't a pasta base which some places love incorporating. I enjoyed being able to soak up the sauce with the thick bread. Our entire table thorough enjoyed our meal and did not regret ordering their grilled octopus, nor their grilled oysters. Make sure to make reservations.

We stopped in between lunch and dinner and could only order from the bar menu but they did have an impossible burger as the vegan option. Food was good and everyone enjoyed in our group.

Had a lovely afternoon meal here during the holidays. Sat in the nice bar. Everything was great but the service was a bit inattentive. Had to ask for utensils way after our order arrived. Servers were nice but a bit scarce even tho we saw them around the other tables a bunch. It's was just ok. The food came out quick and was great. I had one of the best salads. It has feta but not too much it had just the right amounts of everything. Hubby has great fish tacos with mango. It worked I'm unsure what my son had but here's a photo. We are ready to go back and frankly I'm sure the service will be on point.

Grilled Spanish octopus on humas-fantastic. And Shanghai chicken salad the bomb. Glad we found it again.

Mauricio's service went above to explain our dinner options, very clearly, to accommodate our party's dietary allergies. He did so with consideration and a very friendly and professional demeanor . The chef and the kitchen took care in preparing the dishes. The hummus and pita strips were a hit with the entire table. Entree salad Louie with prawns was large and diner brought home leftovers. Ribeye steak cooked to order and sides of sautéed vegetables and mashed potatoes tasty and proportioned right. Filet mignon and scallops also cooked to preference. No complaints from the party of 5. Sitting on the covered patio to enjoy the outside views a plus. Definitely recommend a visit!

I love salt and stone! The inside is a little fancier but the outside, although still somewhat "sit down" is a bit more casual with a beautiful pond. The staff is always very accommodating and knowledgeable, when we were here it was a warm day but very cold in the shade and they were able to turn outside heaters on for us. My favorite is, of course their french onion soup and I love their oysters. All the food is great and quality, and the cocktails are delicious too! My friend who doesn't drink was with us and enjoyed their non alcoholic cocktail selection and drinks.

Really unpleasant experience last night. I had red wine spilled all over me which I honestly didn't realize the extent of till later. I thought my family sweatshirt might be a goner but washed it twice and the stains seemed to have disappeared. So very thankful!! Sweet servers who were obviously gaining experience. Missed two of our orders and served starters out of order. They obviously need more experience. My son got the crispy skin salmon with mushroom risotto. Risotto bland and heavy. Very disappointing. My son-in-law got the turkey plate. Big cubes of soggy bread absolutely does not constitute dressing. He thought it was a horrible meal which was embarrassing to me. I was so totally upset by having to deal with the red wine spilled on me, I couldn't even eat my entree. Sad. Bottom line terrible experience I won't ask them to endure again. I really love Salt & Stone and wanted to share my love with my kids. Sigh...

They need to update their website. Happy hour is still great. Just know every happy hour item is now $8.

Wonderful food, service, and views in Kenwood. We're from out of town and we could eat here every night.

Service was a bit slow however I found it a good stop on a busy day food was good and drinks cold- what more can you ask for- in wine country

Very disappointing experience. We came here because the restaurant said they were dog-friendly, but that was far from the truth. From the moment we arrived, the staff were unfriendly and made us feel unwelcome. They came over four different times to remind us of their "rules" -- not to hold our small Yorkies on our laps and to keep them quiet -- even though our dogs were calm and well-behaved. On top of that, the service was poor -- we were given only one menu for the whole group and had to ask for more. The staff were consistently rude and made the entire visit uncomfortable. Definitely not the warm, dog-friendly place they claim to be.
