    We hosted a Rehearsal dinner for 28 people and welcome party for 65 people a couple of weeks ago. The venue, excellent service by the staff, and food were amazing. Everyone raved about the evening! We are still receiving compliments. It was a perfect evening. Thanks to Luca, Kiyomi and everyone at Wit & Wisdom for making our party very special. Our son and future daughter -in-law thought it was fabulous - a home run!

    Had a business dinner here recently — my colleague picked it and nailed it. The space is modern, cozy, and beautifully done. We started with the spicy arugula cheese pizza — honestly one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. The Caesar salad and duck fat fries were also amazing, and my salmon with spicy corn was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Dessert was next-level. The brûlée cheesecake might be the best cheesecake I’ve ever had — perfectly creamy with that caramelized top. We also tried the peanut butter chocolate dessert — delicious, but super rich, so share it if you can! Wine list was great with plenty of local options. Service started a little rushed, then slowed down, but everyone was friendly and helpful. Parking tip: easiest access is the lot near the hotel entrance/valet area. A bit pricey for a casual night, but absolutely worth it for a special evening. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

    We came to Sonoma for the weekend and loved Wit & Wisdom so much we came back two nights in a row. After a day of wine tasting, the cocktails were delicious and a nice change. We did the tasting experience both times with some minor tweaks. They also accommodated our food sensitivities. In addition, the service was top notch both times. We would highly recommend.

    Wit & Wisdom has officially brought the brilliance of Chef Michael Mina's signature culinary style to the heart of Sonoma County--and it's nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in a beautiful setting that blends Wine Country charm with understated luxury, this restaurant delivers an experience that's both elevated and warmly welcoming. I had the pleasure of enjoying an extraordinary meal here, one that stood out not only for its flawless execution but also for its creativity and soul. From start to finish, the evening felt like a celebration of flavor, ambiance, and impeccable hospitality. The tuna tartare was, simply put, phenomenal. Perfectly balanced, vibrant, and elegantly plated, it was the kind of dish that stops conversation for a moment--just to savor. But the true showstopper of the night was the lobster pot pie, served tableside with flair. Rich, buttery, and indulgent, it's a dish that defines signature luxury comfort food. The aroma alone was enough to draw attention from nearby tables, and the taste exceeded every expectation. For dessert, I was treated to a creative and utterly delicious take on red velvet--a refined twist on the classic, beautifully executed. I also sampled one of their specialty candy bar desserts, which was equally impressive: playful, nostalgic, and elevated all at once. The wine pairings throughout the meal were outstanding. Each pour thoughtfully complemented the dish it accompanied, showcasing the best of local and international selections. It's clear the team has curated a wine program that is both knowledgeable and intuitive--something wine lovers will truly appreciate. While I had the opportunity to try a few other dishes during the meal, the tuna tartare, lobster pot pie, and desserts were the undeniable standouts. Together with the wine, setting, and stellar service, they made for an unforgettable dining experience. Chef Mina's culinary magic has found a perfect home in Sonoma County. Wit & Wisdom is more than just a meal--it's a destination.
