Willi’s Wine Bar: A Culinary Gem in Santa Rosa, CA

The food here is phenomenal! The small plates give you the perfect opportunity to sample a variety of dishes from the menu. The happy hour is an absolute must--don't miss it! Be sure to try the smash burger and goat cheese fritters--they're unforgettable. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Went here for a girls night and we had a great meal + drinks. Definitely will come back!

My partner and I came here based on some yelp scouting. We wanted to have dinner somewhere close to the Luther Burbank Center before a show. I'm really glad we ended up here. The food was great. High quality, shareable items at reasonable prices. The cocktails I ordered were tasty, too. The service was great. Our server was pleasant and attentive. The ambiance was great. Lighting and noise levels were acceptable for intimate conversation or something more jovial. Willi's is a gem of a dinner spot, tucked away in an unassuming location.

Dined here while on a work trip and definitely impressed with the food, staff and the relaxed vibe. Primarily small plates but a very diverse menu! Parking was probably the only negative but don't let that deter you! Our waiter was great, he was helpful in recommending wines and small plates for us to try! I enjoyed the arugula and endive salad, the 3 cheese board, the tuna tartare and beets salad. Definitely recommend!

First time trying this place and was not disappointed! They allow dogs in the patio area which was a major plus. We were seated right away and our waitress was so nice and attentive. The menu was vast and our waitress gave us some good recommendations. We ordered the chilled oysters , arugula salad , pot belly potstickers and the flash fried calamari! Everything was so good and delicious but my absolute favorite was the calamari! It had this spicy-sweet sauce coating so each bite was amazing! Great ambiance and I love how it's in a shopping center in the middle of the suburb! Definitely wanna come back to eat here and try out the other tapas items!

We popped in for happy hour only to discover a very good smash burger A soft poppy seed bun, flavorful meat, great sauce. The fries were hot, spicy with a tasty goat cheese sauce. The martini pretty good for a happy hour drink. All-in-all a good value...

This is another of our favourite Stark's places, although we never ended up going here at the original location destroyed in the fires in 2017 and only started going here after the move to Town and Country, largely because that is a convenient location for us. The food overall is outstanding and we really enjoy the flexibility and variety of the small-plate approach. The dishes are varied and both thoughtful and creative in concept and perfectly executed. We have loved just about everything we've had here, although we have not gotten any dessert since that's usually not our thing. The Tunisian Roasted Carrots (5 stars) are incredible and one of the absolute best vegetable dishes we have ever had. They are beautifully cooked, tender yet firm with a touch of caramelisation and wonderfully dressed. The scallop dumplings are also outstanding (5 stars) as are the mushu bacon, a wonderful variations of mushu-style preparation and thick bacon with a smoky and caramelised character (also 5 stars). The brock chicken thighs are great but less interesting (4 stars). Cocktails are excellent. 5 stars for the Midtown and Georgie's Sour. Service is great. There is nice seating in the comfortable interior and there is a small patio area in front. It is located in the old, attractive, Town & Country shopping centre, built in the late 1940s.

What an excellent happy hour! I dropped in during their 3-5 happy hour and had an espresso martini (7) a glass of bubbly (6) marinated olives (4) and goat cheese fritter bites (6). (And one non happy hour wine) The prices were excellent and so was the food and drink. Espresso martini did what is what supposed to do, the snacks were delicious and so rich they were filling, and the wines were hella good. I tried this regular price (2 oz for 4.5) vavasour Sauvignon blanc, which was absolutely delicious- it was citrusy and sharp, yet slightly sweet. Would go back for happy hour or regular hour lol. Everything was amazing.

This was my favorite restaurant from our Santa Rosa trip. The food was the best we'd had, the ambiance was cozy-nice, and the drinks were delicious. Everything we had blew our minds. Recommend the goat cheese fritters, mu shu pork crepes, and the chocolate banana croissant bread pudding. Pro tip - get it with ice cream. That chocolate banana bread pudding is one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. Would return and would recommend!
