Lovely collection of menu items, with plenty of vegetarian and carnivore dishes to choose from. The beets and calamari stood out, but eggplant was a top contender.Fun and lively atmosphere, decorated with subtle flair and eclectic touches. A bit noisy, but thats part of the allure.Very helpful and pleasant service. Owners frequent the floor and pull their weight, which shows in the resulting excellently trained staff.

Love this place! The beet salad was as delicious as it was beautiful. Enjoyed the shrimp ceviche with a little bit of heat. The lemon posset with berries was a perfect ending. Interior has been redone with comfortable banquettes and striking light fixtures.On this visit, I tried the scrumptious Afternoon Delight cocktail special. So pretty! Many other diners were ordering it too. The heirloom tomato panzanella came with a flavorful gazpacho sauce. The blackberry crumble was the ideal finale.

Great restaurant right in downtown Sebastopol that focused on small plates heavily leveraging local ingredients. Staff did a great job of accommodating us outside so that we could eat there (since we had our dog with us). We’d definitely return.

What a wonderful new addition to the Sebastopol dining scene! Everything was delicious and showcased the bounty of Sonoma County and local purveyors. The service was top notch. Everyone from the hostess to the runners were happy to help and had a smile of their face. Our server Ariana was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the menu. We can’t wait to dine at Goldfinch again!

Really happy we came in on a whim, but well definitely make reservations for next time, it was pretty crowded. Sitting at the bar we were able to see basically every dish being made and presented, and we wanted all of them! Great vibe, great cocktails, great food... well definitely come back.

GREAT SERVICE! GREAT MENU! Local, fresh but a tad over dressed and over flavored.With ingredients that are this fresh and of such quality, I think they could hold back about 15 or 20% on the salt and the flavorings and salad dressing to let the ingredients shine. I had two drinks and I’ll have to admit the first one had hardly any alcohol in it, which was bit disappointing, it was a mixed drink with lemon and whiskey, and it was delicious… but, It certainly could have been enhanced with about 15% more alcohol both for flavor and for kick.. The second one was exquisite, it was a Manhattan, (and was well balanced)…. you can’t really skimp on the alcohol there.We ordered grilled shrimp, among several other things and although they looked perfectly done, they were in fact, a bit over cooked. They turned out too white and chalky without any level of translucency that I think a good grilled shrimp should have.

Food was good quality. Two of us had Prime Rib. It was thin and Overcooked. Two of us had Chicken. It was good. Cesar, Focaccia and Fries were all delicious. I ordered a MaiTai but I think I got a Margarita?! I felt like it was very expensive for what we received. Spent $375 with tip for 4 of us…we did order a tortellini to go. It felt very light so I opened it, it had 6 pieces in it :/

Beautiful interior. Brenda was probably the best server Ive ever had in a dining experience - so calm, knowledgeable and welcoming.Beets were not only beautiful but delicious and paired amazingly with the rosemary focaccia pull aparts (warm and fluffy).The steak frites was executed nicely but the star of the meal was the housemade ricotta tortellini. The delicata squash sauce is heavenly.

We went today for lunch and everything was delicious! The facaccia was a must have, the calamari was cooked to perfection, the halibut ceviche and tortellini were devine. Wish we had time and room for dessert. Next time. Only disappointment was the shrimp skewers, cooking in their shell does keep them moist, although all the flavor was on the shell.The service was wonderful and the decor was bright and comfortable ✨️

Wow! Just wow! From the moment we walked in and were greeted by Kalyla we knew we were in the right place. She was so welcoming with a sweet genuine smile. The staff all seemed very happy to be there and more importantly were very attentive to our “experience”. The vibe was top notch but unpretentious. Deanna made sure we were well taken care of and made the time with us not feeling rushed to have to move on. Oh! Did I mention the food?? We had the zucchini, oysters, Calamari and the ribeye. All perfectly cooked and presented. We will definitely be back.A breath of fresh air, restoring our faith in local cuisine and service.

Awesome food. The small shareable plates were very fun as all of us at the table got to enjoy everything. We ordered on large shareable and it didn’t seem much bigger than the small shareables. The waitstaff seemed overworked.

My husband and I went here on the most beautiful date.The food... StunningThe atmosphere.... So comfortable and hipThe service.... Honestly maybe the finest Ive had anywhere.We were greeted at the hostess counter by Kelilah (sp?) Who graciously sat us about an hour before our reservation because we got the time wrong. She was friendly and super engaging while our table was prepped... an actual joy to talk to.I hate that I cant remember our servers name but she was an absolutely delightful woman who treated us like friends coming to dinner at her home more so than strangers eating at the place where she works. She made great recommendations and was perfectly attentive, always there when we needed something, never invasive.The food!!! We had:The Ahi PokePull Apart FocacciaWood Fired Corn SpecialWood Fired EggplantEverything was fabulous, Especially the Eggplant (which was listed as a small bite but was an entire eggplant and definitely the most delicious eggplant Ive EVER eaten). The Corn was a cold dish, served over a cream that was to die for.Highly recommend Goldfinch. Great date night, excellent place to go with friends... Oh and great non-alcoholic options for drinks!

What a great experience! Food was fabulous. Waitstaff was exactly what we want. Ambience was a 10. Cocktails were tasty and the owners were working the room making sure everything was just right. Will definitely be returning time and time again!

Awesome space with a great new look and feel. The food was INCREDIBLE! The fried chicken and calamari were my favorites. We had a great time with the dogs and baby on the patio.

Ahh-mazing delicious food, great service, super fun cocktails and a beautiful ambience and decor! I could summarize my review by telling you my actions: I dined at Goldfinch three days within the first seven days of this restaurant being open, it is that good. I simply could not wait to go back so I could try everything on the menu! I highly recommend everything on the menu, although my favorites (so far!) are the lime cured shrimp, the heirloom carrots, and the ribeye steak. Goldfinch truly is a great new addition to Downtown Sebastopol.

Uncover Culinary Excellence at Sebastopols GoldfinchTucked in charming Sebastopol lies a treasure, Goldfinch, where exemplary cuisine, elegant ambiance, and impeccable service converge. The exposed brick enhances the lively, modern bar aesthetics, creating an inviting, vibrant atmosphere.Goldfinchs staff strike the perfect balance of personable and professional, while the menu delights with its flavorful complexities and expert craftsmanship.Their lime-cured shrimp is a revelation. The citrusy acidity tamed by creamy avocado, punctuated with refreshing cucumber and a hint of spice, makes each bite a delectable adventure. Not to be overlooked, the focaccia, with its crisply baked exterior and warm, herbaceous interior, is a delight in texture and taste.Indulge your sweet tooth with their decadent dessert offerings. Bring your appetite, as youll want to sample each divine creation. As a seafood enthusiast, I eagerly anticipate my return for their scallops and grilled branzino.Goldfinch rekindles the joy of dining out with its sophisticated yet approachable offerings. For those feeling jaded by restaurant experiences of the past, let Goldfinch be the breath of fresh culinary air that reignites your foodie flame.I shall return again, and again, and agian.

Food was great as well as the service. Our server suggested a chardonnay that was mid priced and excellent and the desert really topped of a great meal.
