Sonoma Valley Farmhouse — Restaurant in Sonoma

The Farmhouse, Sonoma – First Impressions and First Bites Tucked away in the heart of Sonoma, The Farmhouse greets diners with an exterior that lives up to its name. The building carries the bones of a classic farmhouse, yet it has been carefully refined into something modern, clean, and minimalist. Crisp paintwork, uncluttered lines, and a simplicity of design set the tone before you ever step inside.

Crossing the threshold, soft music welcomes you in. I was greeted warmly at the front door, and within moments, shown to a private corner table. From there, I enjoyed a vantage point that allowed me to watch both the bar and the open kitchen—a window into the energy and discipline behind the meal to come. Though the dining room was beginning to thin, with many guests just leaving after dinner service, the staff remained focused and engaged, a quiet hum of hospitality still filling the space.

The menu itself balances comfort with refinement, and for my first visit, I ordered the pork milanesa. The dish arrived promptly, and it was nothing short of exemplary. The cutlet was breaded to a golden crisp without sacrificing tenderness inside—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and plated with an understated elegance that matched the restaurant’s overall aesthetic. Each bite revealed care in both preparation and execution.

Overall, The Farmhouse blends farmhouse warmth with a modern, minimalist sensibility. From the greeting at the door to the carefully crafted plate, my first experience felt both welcoming and polished—a place where simplicity meets sophistication, and where hard work in the kitchen shines through...

While they aren’t officially even open, they have launched a kind-of soft opening & are graciously, actively serving those who have discovered their doors open … and we already LOVE this place! We were really missing thr old diner “Palms” (after they went out of business) and this is a definite much cooler, FRESH take on the generous space - only MUCH more upscale ambiance and modern farmhouse vibe!

Nice, simple menu with all the basics + a few nice surprises for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! We just had a standard breakfast plate (with eggs cooked to perfection and an absolutely delicious homemade biscuit) and steak & eggs (with a modest but quality portion of steak, properly trimmed of fat - presenting only the good meat).

Coffee was nice, the ambiance was beautiful, and the service outstandingly kind. It should be NOTED that they are still working out the “barely-open” service kinks, so guests should be extra kind and FORGIVING while they get settled into a more organized / attentive service rhythm (i.e., reviewers, please be kind and patient while they do this - they deserve the opportunity to show you what they can really do here and we believe they can and will do wonderful things).

We have no doubt this is going to be one of THE top locals spots for a nice meal or happy hour (and wow, yes, they have a full bar and have hired a rockstar bartender [Izzy] to create an amazing happy hour menu - so stay tuned, as that is coming soon!)

Farmhouse Sonoma deserves 5-stars for the unlimited potential we see! We can’t wait to watch how they get better &...
