  • A friend coming to visit is a good excuse to get dolled up and blow some cash on a Thursday night, and Sonoma's seemed a good a pick as any (especially since I had a Groupon.... which I accidentally left in the car. Go me.) I started off with a martini. Our waiter recommended it, and I forget what it was called "something Red." Anyway, it was delicious. Not very strong though, which I would have objected to had I not been driving. I can 100% recommend the Chilled Crab Salad with gazpacho, cucumber and fresh lime zest. Extremely flavorful, light, and just overall very well composed. I feel that they could make a meal out of this. Gorgeous presentation, as well. For an entree, I got the Grilled Lamb with Israeli couscous, pickled onions, and rosemary sauce. The couscous was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I ordered the lamb medium-rare, and while it came out cooked to my specifications, most of the slices were tough. I actually found a couple valves in it, which is not the type of thing you expect when you're paying $25 for an entree with 4 oz. of meat in it. My friend got the Pan Seared Carolina Trout with pine nut and preserved lemon couscous and spinach. This was definitely the better of two meals. The couscous was nothing to write home about, but the trout was exceptional. The skin was left on, but it was pan fried so well that it was crispy and delicious, while the fish was flaky and flavorful. Honestly, one of the best parts was the spinach. I'm not sure what kind of wine reductions they used, but it was infused with flavors that made you wish that all spinach just automatically tasted like that. The large disappointment of the evening... the pear torte with vanilla bean ice cream. I can almost guarantee that it was not made at that restaurant. You couldn't taste any pear whatsoever, and the vanilla bean sauce just overpowered the entire dessert. It was a sickly sweet, and the quality of the torte was just overall terrible. Beyond this... a good meal. One thing I can say more is that I wish I had tried the Hanger steak. It's actually my favorite cut of meat and if you've never had it before, I encourage anyone to try it. It's extremely tender and flavorful and I have no doubt that Sonoma could work wonders with it. Since I left my Groupon in the car, it's definitely on the list to try for the next visit.
