Best Live Music Restaurants in Santa Rosa

This restaurant is one of the best in San Francisco hands down. From the mysterious alley where it is located to the very high level of service, there is nothing about this restaurant that ever disappoints. The food is fantastic and the desserts are unique. The restaurant is vibrant but you also feel like you have privacy at your table. And the service — exceptional in every single sense of the word.

The food is fantastic, and the coffee is phenomenal! Everyone who works there is friendly and very welcoming. Great decor and relaxing vibe. I'm a bit of a coffee snob; most coffee companies buy cheap beans and over roast them to cover up that fact or simply don't know how to properly roast coffee and what you end up with is something you'd expect to get from Starbucks. Happily, that is not what you get here. The coffee is smooth, not bitter, with rich hints of caramel and a smooth nutty finish. What a cup of coffee! And the food? Don't get me started! You literally can't go wrong with any of the culinary offerings! We were so impressed with this little restaurant that we ate there two days in a row. This place is a real gem, so make a reservation to insure you get to enjoy this place.

Great food, very nice people who work there, and a full bar! All in all awesome experience.

We really enjoyed our experience. The entire staff we encountered were kind and welcoming. The food and drinks were delicious, fresh and served promptly. We also enjoyed the live band, very talented group.

Friday and Saturdays are great as have a prime rib special. Always a friendly loud crowd, some refer to Ricardo’s as Santa Rosa’s “Cheers”. Salads and soups are excellent. Happy hour drink prices reasonable.
