Four of us had a very good dinner at the Sonoma Wine Bar. It was in "our neighborhood" on Capital Hill on our vacation. The space is charming, one of those long narrow rooms with a bar at the front and red brick walls. We had wines (a pinot nero and a blend of syrah, cabernet, merlot), a Zardetto prosecco... More

My colleague and I had a great business lunch at Sonoma ... just yesterday. It is near the Capitol, shotgun arrangement with long bar down one side and very simple in decor. (Decor ... there was decor?) Food was really good, however. They offer regular entrees to be sure, but we opted for cheese and charcuterie boards with fresh french... More

Busy with Hill staffers on a Friday night, but relaxed and easy to enjoy. Cordial service, excellent, varied menu with plenty of choices (including portion size) and a small but good wine list. Very well priced, too. More

Lucky, eh? A special menu. But I think that any regular day's menu would be just fine. Fine soup and salad; great service, even at peak hour lunch on Friday. More

Well presented fare available in half portions,interesting specials and a solid wine list give a good evening out. They are kind to those who need to make a curtain and on the whole kind in general. Saw families dining there sharing lovely looking... More

Perhaps I'm not the best reviewer as neither I nor my wife drink wine, but our dinner was pretty good; we both ordered pasta dishes and liked what we got. I also got meatballs as a side which was very good. The cheese plate was fine but they should include more bread with it. More

We return to Sonoma every 6-8 weeks for three things: amazing pasta, outstanding wine selections (and a wait staff who know their &%$# about it!), and the appetizer of grilled sardines. The remainder of the quasi-seasonal menu holds hearty soups, divinely crafted salads, beautifully prepared meats and fish, and tempting desserts. The only mishap we've encountered was an over-cooked duck... More

I drank white wine from Virginia for the very first time, I actually will always drink local wines where ever I travel. The food was great as well as the atmosphere. Ideal place for solo travelers or couples. More

Went here on the advice of our hotel desk. Big mistake. Pricing might be considered reasonable for DC standards, but not for this boy from the country. My wife had 3 scallops, 1 new potato, and 4 pieces of broccoli and the price was $23. I had a hamburger and fries and it was $16. More
