   Tasting dishes as part of the tasting menu that were from MM’s Egyptian cuisine cookbook was the highlight.

   Another excellent dinner with exceptional service. Only issue was loud patrons a few tables away from us constantly getting up squealing while posing for selfies

   Must try place in Sonoma. 100% freshness of sea food platter and the ambience is so friendly and welcoming.

   Bar and cocktail selection is excellent. Service was disappointing. Waited 30 minutes to be seated even with reservations. Staff seemed overwhelmed. Dinner menu selection is limited. The cauliflower entree was unique and good. The salmon and rice came scooted to the edge of an otherwise empty plate. Birthday celebration not acknowledged. Glad we tried it.

   This was our 2nd visit to Wit & Wisdom, and we enjoyed it just as much as our first visit. We were greeted warmly by Trisha who set the tone perfectly with her friendly demeanor, scoring us a great table where we could see all of the action but still have quiet conversation as well. Our drinks were on point. We went with a couple of the house signature cocktails, which there are a good selection of. Our server Dylan pointed out a few of the best dishes as we looked over the menu. We went with the crab and endive Caesar, bomba pizza, and the salmon. All were good but the Cesar was excellent. Great service, creative cocktails, and tasty food. We’ll definitely return on our next trip up to Sonoma.

   Our meal was disappointing at best. We ordered the Calabrian pizza with a honey drizzle and it was coated in honey so that’s all you could taste. We shared a ribeye and the server highly encouraged us to add on Alaskan king crab. It literally was 3 smaller than 1/2 a pencil size pieces with very little actual crab meat. The ribeye was very salty and fat hadn’t rendered so there were solid pieces of fat. I took a friend there from out of town and it was a very poor showing for my lovely city of Sonoma.

   We had an awesome experience at Wit & Wisdom. We were in town for a Christmas party & had some extra time to eat the day before. We had the best server named Theresa. The meals were delicious. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely return. Thank you.

   The thanksgiving dinner wasn’t good, due to food flavor and provided selection. All the meals were extremely overpriced. No one in party actually eat their entire meal because the food lacked flavor. Paid over $400 on a thanksgiving meal for 3 people, for food that was completely overpriced and overrated. I wouldn’t recommend the Thanksgiving dinner special.

   We celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary at Wit & Wisdom. The restaurant really made us feel special. It was one of our favorite dining experiences ever. I only wish I didn't have a larger-than-planned lunch beforehand so I could eat more. I started with a smoky bourbon cocktail which hit the spot on a cold rainy evening. The octopus and chickpea dish was warm and savory with a spiced broth. I ordered the Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert. It wasn't as a sticky and rich as the one I had in England years ago, but it was a nice end to the meal. We will definitely be back. I just wish the restaurant opened for lunch so we can go more often as a day trip.

    Four of us enjoyed a wonderful birthday celebration on the patio. Everything was exceptional, but the service from Alexa was outstanding. Her knowledge, guidance and kindness made for a truly memorable evening. We loved it all: Endive salad with fresh crab, fresh falafels topped with ahi tuna, tagliatelle pasta with fresh truffles, perfectly cooked Filet and NY steaks, and roast chicken. My only regret was that the four of us didn’t get to enjoy the prix fixe Egyptian dinner… Hoping that will stay on the menu until we return for another celebration!
