    Happy hour romantic getaway 5 star! Before evening rush, easy to talk, love the ambiance, superb oysters presentation, many GF / veg & vegan options for HH and dinner. Well chosen wines, HH and dinner. Even a GF dessert selection. Impressed. Not Michelin stars but Bib Gourmand/ neighborhood gem! We'll be back.

    having eaten there since it opened and loving it, sadly last night wasn't as good as it has been always. We have never had a bad meal but the menu has changed and sadly some of the staples that had been on the menu forever were gone. My husband had the lamb pasta which he said was good. My fish was not up to par. It was fishy and just the dish was disappointing. The lamb cabbage rolls did not seem fully cooked. We will go back but just disappointing as we drove 30+ minutes to dine and it has always been a favorite. I guess it was an off night.

    My husband and I celebrated our 24th anniversary at Central Market in Petaluma. We made reservations for an early 5:45PM seating and had a wonderful table. The restaurant had a small number of diners which made it really nice as we could talk and not have to compete with a lot of noise in order to be heard. Our meals were excellent and well prepared and served within a reasonable amount of time. The service was also excellent. We live Central Market and will definitely be return customers.

    My husband and I asked several locals where to eat while in Petaluma and every single one of them told us we have to try Central Market. We loved our dinner experience. Great service, wonderful fresh ingredients, high quality food and an inviting atmosphere. We will happily return any time we are in the area.
