| - I am so full and so exhausted, but I was still determined to write this review tonight. After careful consideration of everything that has happened in the last few months regarding my experience at Sonoma Cellar, I am happy to say that they have definitely redeemed themselves and earned five stars, if not six!
The manager, Aaron finally contacted me and discussed the issues that I had. He apologized for what happened and for his behavior throughout, and while he and I initially bumped heads, he was very humble and he owned the outcome of the situation. I can definitely respect that. I made it clear that I would have happily changed my review a long time ago, had he acknowledged me and apologized for what happened. I honestly don't think that that even crossed his mind, which I understand because so many people do not go back and update their reviews. I am a fair person and I'm not hard to please, so I really appreciated him reaching out. Initially, when he called me, I was mad that he was calling, but I did listen to him and he sounded very sincere and invited me back to show me how great Sonoma Cellar is meant to be. Many people don't stand up and own their shit and while it took awhile, the fact that he did speaks volumes.
From the time we walked in, we received impeccable service. Aaron greeted our party of four (My mom, sister, her fiancé, and myself) and sat us at a very comfortable booth that was already set up for us. The table was beautiful and he had a very nice and thoughtful card waiting there for me. He also brought over glasses of champagne for us!! Talk about service! I'm glad that he set it up for Javier to be our server, again. He was absolutely fantastic, as usual. We ordered wine and chatted over the menu. Aaron came over and suggested the Bone Marrow appetizer and gave a funny explanation of It. We ordered that and the Crab Dip. Both were excellent! My sister ordered the Lobster Bisque, of which she said it was the best she'd ever had. Compliments to Chef Brit! He also came out and briefly chatted with us.
We ordered our steaks and lobsters that were cooked to perfection, as usual! Major compliments to the kitchen! All of the sides were delicious...asparagus, mashed potatoes, spinach, broccoli, macaroni and cheese, and sweet potatoes. We got our desserts to go, so we could enjoy them in our rooms in front of the TV!
In all, the experience tonight was the best that I've ever had at a steakhouse and I have been to some pretty ritzy places. We were made to feel like we were the only ones in the room. We have never been rushed to eat at Sonoma. This is a place where you could literally dine, not eat. It reminded me of Europe, where they don't eat, they dine. You take your time and enjoy your food. The service was amazing, especially from Aaron. He made it a point to check on us regularly and chat with us. He was very friendly and lighthearted and I was happy to see this side of him. Let me say this...His reaching out to me was not easy, by far. I know that. But he certainly made up for everything and I can definitely forgive and move on. We will definitely be back...maybe for my birthday in a few weeks!
