- RCRob CrandellJan 4, 20265.0The food and wine was amazing, but I think it was the service that put it over the top. Despite being a very high class restaurant, the server and the staff didn’t seem stuck up or too “fancy” at all, which made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be back.
- RRRevvieJan 2, 20262.02 visits; 2 different experiences: We stayed at the hotel and dined in once, and had takeout to our room once. Our experience in the dining room was excellent. The duck wings were amazing g and are a treat! The rest of the food was totally fine, but not memorable. Fantastic and attentive service. Food came too fast so the meal felt rushed. The second time was terrible. I ordered a burger to bring back to our room as we were staying at the Lodge. It took 3 times as long as they said it would, there were no utensils in the bag which I was lucky to have checked for on my way out the door. It took a full 7 minutes for someone to appear with utensils after I had already waited for the food itself. The burger was completely overcooked and cold as were the fries. Really bad. 4.5 stars for the restaurant dine-in experience. 1 star for the take out which should really just be room service, since I was a guest at the Lodge and had to go pick up the (cold) food myself.
- CTCarole TyneDec 26, 20255.0It was christmas dinner, so there was a prefixed meal. It was pretty wet out we were in the private part in the back which was fabulous where you can actually hear each other talk and nice fireplace in the ambience was great. Lots of heaters you won't be cold. The food was very good, and so was the drink.
- CSCassie SmithDec 3, 20255.0Got the Caesar salad and wings to go. Good meal when I was super tired. It’s a cool looking spot with a nice looking bar. Kind of confusing about how to get to it from within the hotel (you can’t).
- RGRobert GonzalezNov 28, 20255.0My husband and I came to Wit & Wisdom for the first time for Thanksgiving Dinner, and we had the most wonderful time! The service was extraordinary. The cocktails were fantastic. The food was perfectly prepared and incredibly delicious. And the overall ambiance of the restaurant was warm, beautiful, upscale but not pretentious, and the perfect setting for our meal. We would be more than happy to celebrate Thanksgiving here again, and we will definitely come back for more visits throughout the year. This immediately became our favorite new restaurant in Sonoma County, and I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone! Thank you to everyone at Wit & Wisdom for your commitment to providing outstanding service and creating an exceptional experience for everyone who visits your restaurant. You all contributed to making this Thanksgiving a very memorable occasion for us!
