| - Sonoma is a great looking restaurant with a nice, comfy bar area. A recent happy hour visit at the bar was overall a success. Two of us shared the mushroom sliders, happy hour BBQ shrimp and crab dip. We both liked the sliders, tho I'm not confident the mushrooms were there, as I didn't taste any. This appetizer comes with fries and homemade ketchup, and we got the ketchup after the sliders. The fries were good, and the shrimp was pretty good also. The BBQ part of the shrimp was not in your face, which I had mixed feelings about. As for the crab dip, it was fine but needs some spice.
Drinks are above average, and my whiskey cocktail, Cellar Style, was pretty memorable. It has Merlot, rye whiskey, brown sugar, cinnamon syrup and black walnut bitters. Happy hour drink prices are fair for an upscale steakhouse, and they have a good beer selection also.
We also got a crab salad compliments of the chef, which was a nice touch, and we both enjoyed it. Service was great, and we agreed that we'd return to enjoy the food and bar ambiance.
