Walter Hansel Wine Bistro - Santa Rosa

This is an unknown gem. When the others are booked go here, it is better than many of those with better names. Appetizers were super flavorful. Entrees were good size and delicious. Only issue their Pinot is not my style. My wife liked the Sav Blanc. Great corkage policy too.

Our food was great, but we were surprised when our server offered to split our food in the kitchen rather than us doing it and then charged us $7.00 to do it. (She did take it off our bill when we mentioned it.

Love it. We go often and are never disappointed. The happy hour is short but sweet. Loved the Dungeness crab tacos last week! The food is meticulously prepared and delicious. The meals are substantial. Wine is great. Love it all.

Food is incredible using fresh local ingredients. Wine is priced the lowest I have seen in Sonoma county. Price per person (including wine and food) runs about $30-$50. Definitely a wonderful place to dine at!

Our servers were excellent. They very attentive and Denise remembered which wine I liked from previous dining. The French onion soup was flavorful and delicious. The Cesar salad was traditional with anchovies. The raviolis were delicious.
