Hopmonk Tavern Sonoma

I visited this restaurant a few days ago and was greeted by a friendly host and waiter. We were seated quickly and tried the Korean cauliflower, tacos, and samosas. My favorite dish was the Korean cauliflower, followed by the samosas. I found the tacos to be just okay, and mine were a bit dry. I prefer samosas that are baked rather than fried. The waiter was very helpful and cheerful. We were able to finish our meal within 45-55 minutes. Overall, I enjoyed our experience but would have preferred to try the wings instead of the tacos. The highlight for me was the live music.

The restaurant has an excellent selection of craft beers and a great variety of wines. The atmosphere is lovely. My wife is gluten-free and was pleased with the many options on the menu. She particularly enjoyed the quinoa salad. However, I have to deduct one star for my burger. I didn't care for the tomato relish, which tasted more like stewed tomatoes than a burger condiment. Additionally, the thick slices of bacon on the burger were undercooked and soggy. They would have been much better if they were fully cooked and crispy.

This is a great place to catch up with friends and enjoy some delicious food and drinks in a vibrant atmosphere.

Prices are higher portions are smaller. And there's an additional charge for the staff's Health insurance

The food was excellent. It was one of the best lunches I've had in quite a while.
