Great little place to meet with friends and family. Very interesting menu, so I went with the special and pairing of the day, was very pleased. If it’s not dark outside go for a walk on the nearby river trail, trail gets very dark so best during daylight

Amazing restaurant with absolutely amazing food, service and atmosphere. Shared pickled vegetables which were crisp and super fresh, pear salad with roasted fig balsamic vinaigrette and the most delectable blue cheese ever! And the pan seared halibut served over ratatouille. Absolutely mouth watering. For dessert, we had the chocolate bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. Worth every bite!!!. Our server made this an exceptional and memorable experience. Do not miss the opportunity to go here! I will definitely be back next time I am visiting Napa.

Been wanting to go here for a long time. I'm not a local, I live in So Cal, but I come to SR for biz a few times a year and this turned out to be a bucket list visit as I can't believe my mouth! I have to keep the review PG, but man the food is great. Very inventive. Love that the menu is ever changing and burger Wednesday tonight was next level inventive! I had a foodgasim while eating this burger! When in Santa Rosa, go big or go home but make haste and make your way to the Spinster Sisters. If you're a foodie but not pretentious, this is your jam. The decor, vibe, service is all very welcoming and again, for the incredible food they make, they are not pretentious! Prepare yourself and come hungry!

Wow! First off the staff here are amazing, they were always on top of things and very friendly. The food is great with sharable small plates and a broad menu and they switch it up regularly too. We ate outdoors and it was a very nice experience, it was well shaded when sunny and they had heaters for when it got brisk. Everything we ordered was tasty and fresh and they had some great wines available. Having the sommelier come and suggest pairings that definitely made the meal! We will be back 😊

family style new american restaurant in santa rosa serving fresh food and warm vibes. all of the dishes were delicious, had good variety and well priced. small plates definitely better than large plates. service was pleasant. atmosphere was top tier, loved the warm lighting and bookshelf wall. perfect for a girls night or date night but better with a group to try more dishes. overall, would come back when i’m in the area!

focaccia: small portions but tasty dish. focaccia had a nice crispy crust.

dungeness crab fritters: well loved across the group! great flavor and chewy texture.

chicken liver mousse: recommend if you like liver mousse! pairs well with the accompanying bread. can ask for more bread since the ratio is off.

baked dungeness crab dip: one of the best dishes. dip was rich and creamy and the crackers were a great pairing. must try!

spinster fries: well made side dish! fries were perfectly crispy and the sofa sauce was amazing.

spiced carrots: so flavorful without being limp. must try!

ricotta cavatelli: pasta was al dente but this dish was unmemorable

california halibut: not a fan of the chickpeas but fish was decent.

This place is alright. Too expensive for what they're offering.
I was waiting for quite a while before I received water or menus.
The food was pretty bland. They had some really yummy hot sauce, but the food should stand on its own, not need hot sauce for every dish to make it enjoyable. (I'm not even a hot sauce heavy person).
Very little chicken in the chicken and dumplings.
The lamp cabbage rolls actually I enjoyed because they did not taste much like lamb...but that might be a negative for someone who likes lamb.
Didn't order their desserts, but they looked delicious.
Overall I wouldn't be back mainly because of how expensive it is, it's just not worth it for just decent food.

My girlfriends and I came here for dinner. While we loved the service & ambiance, our tummies and wallets were not satisfied.

We came in as a group of five and were told by our waitress that all the dishes are meant to be shared. That may work for a group of two perhaps, but definitely not for a group of five girls. The portions were teeny tiny. We ordered the scallops, king salmon, ricotta gnocchi, burrata, brooks cherry salad, grazin’ girl cheese, and goat cheesecake.

We really enjoyed the scallops, salmon, burrata, and cheesecake. The flavors were unique and tasty, but again, the portions were small while the prices were exorbitant.

The grazin’ girl cheese was a disappointed and the presentation was lackluster.

We spent $180 and left hungry. One of the girls in our group was becoming so hangry we had to go have a second dinner at In-N-Out.

We would recommend coming here for a cute date night for two people but we definitely would not recommend this spot for a group of people. The dishes were definitely not shareable. We have never left a restaurant starving before.

I can’t share enough praise about this restaurant. I’ve eaten at a lot of places but this is one of my favorites. Stellar staff makes this place and the food was absolutely out of this world. Wonderful minimal intervention wine list and lots of women wine makers. The vibe is on point. Thank you so so much for making this such a memorable and wonderful experience. Group of 11 was accommodated wonderfully and served attentively. Love you all
