We arrived and it was a pretty nice place. Quiet. Peaceful. Ordered a bottle of wine. Cheapest cab on the menu. Wife liked it. I thought it was bitter. Didn't matter. It's alcohol. I can drink it. Ordered the crab cakes. $10. Thought there would be six coming out. There were two. That's right - $5 crab cakes. Worth.every.penny. The best crab cakes I have ever eaten. Yowzas. If I had known they were this good, I would have paid $20. I was torn between some seafood and the ribeye for the entree. I think they're known for their seafood, so being the genius I am, I ordered the steak. I'll never learn. Got it medium. It came out a little overdone. Not really that big of a problem, much like the wine problem. I can still put it down. The problem was a quarter of it was fat. Probably got a bad cut. The other 3/4 of it were okay, but I have to stop ordering steaks at non-steak houses. They're just not worth it. The old lady ordered some kind of bow tie pasta with chicken and a sauce that was a mix between alfredo and something else. Hell I don't know and I'm rambling, but it was effing awesome. Between the 10 bites I had of that, the $5 crab cakes and the mashed potatoes I got with my steak, the place deserves the 4th star.
Afterwards, we went into the bar area, which was small and a little crowded and they had a lady playing a piano and singing with a dude playing a guitar. They were pretty good. Wasn't a huge fan of their version of "Yesterday" and the room was a little crowded for a "band", but it was a nice touch.

I've eaten here several times with a group of friends for lunch, and the food is always good.
Great food and wine. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I love dining here when my girlfriends visit from Dallas. I had the lamb which was cooked and seasoned to perfection. It made my friends jealous! I really don't remember what they had. Ive heard the happy hour is fantastic, and I wish i could check it out, but I'm a busy new mommy. I'm sure this place will be around long enough for me to find out... I remember when it first opened during lunch, they would have an artist in the dining room painting!! I'm not sure if they still do that...
We drove about 20 minutes from Dallas just to find this place because of the reviews. Maybe they had an off night when we went...anyways, we sat at the bar. The waitress doesn't give us a menu but asks us what we would like to drink We said we were still deciding. Ten minutes later...still no menu and we had to track her down for one. Another 10 minutes we had to grab her to take our order...and the place wasn't even crowded so she wasn't even that busy. She was just busy flirting with the customer dudes at the bar. She was overly friendly to them, and snotty to us. Go figure.
We started with Seared Ahi Tuna...a bit sour?
Garlic Herb Mussels...had much, much better
Lettuce Wraps...the chicken was very dry and hard
Sonoma Dip...this was the best part of the whole meal I think. The bread that it comes with was perfectly toasted and the dip was nice and hot.
Still hungry after the appetizers? Heck yeah!
For dinner I had Sonoma Chicken which is pesto and parmesan crusted chicken served with penne pasta. The chicken was very oily and bland. I heard the Thai Chicken Pasta was also bland and watery as well.
It's sad that we drove this far and the only thing we enjoyed was the dip.

This place's happy hour is a staple of my life, it has great (priced) wine and excellent (most only $4) appetizers during happy hour. Obviously the rest of the place is great to, but this is an extremely worthy and thrifty happy hour.
This place is great. We come here not ALL the time but we frequent for dinner when we can. The happy hour is great, we will be here for this all the time. Half price appetizers and wine specials. FANTASTIC. Its well light, comfortable, no smoke, no crazy loud music so you can actually carry on a conversation with the people you are with. The dinners are great the happy our is fantastic. I love this place.
We went to Sonoma Grill last night. I got a Caesar Salad to start and the Beef Stir Fry. My friend got the crab stuffed Chilean Sea Bass crusted in horseradish with risotto and a champagne sauce. we finished by sharing a couple pieces of their cheesecake. My friend got the Savignon Blanc wine flight and I got a glass of their Cab. I was very impressed. They were just introducing a new menu and were pretty busy and our service was still great. Both of the entrees were good, the Beef Stir Fry was spicy which I love and I also like it actually being spicy when they say because too many restaurants call bland items spicy in my opinion. The fish was good as well and all the flavors came together really well.
Already looking forward to our next chance to go.

Love Sonoma Grill!
Parker Square is a neat area to window shop before or after dinner, but don't get… Read more »
I've only been here twice, but each time has been fabulous.
- Excellent food.
- Friendly, informative service. (Wine and food compatibility)
- Nice, upscale atmosphere without feeling snooty.
This place is great for a great dinner or special occasion date. Highly recommend.

Crap! I've been yelping for a few weeks and just discovered no one has reviewed this exercise in culinary heaven materialized as a restaurant! NOoOOOOO!
I found a coupon for this place in one of those Clipper magazines in the junk mail pile and thought, "I like wine AND saving money!" The Fuzz, of course, was enlisted as an accomplice.
Their menu has changed since, but they still have the melt-in-your-mouth, not-in-your-boyfriend's-mouth duck breast in cranberry-port chutney (lol, funny word bonus). I'm a HUGE fan of game meat and usually chow on elk, duckies, or buffalo any chance I get. I was not disappointed.
True to his seafood-loving self, the Fuzz had the Crab-Stuffed Chilean Sea Bass and melted into a puddle of food-bliss ecstasy. I was jealous of their affair.
Our fabulous waitress helped us pick a freaking D-elicious wine (Carter-Browne, I believe?) from a great list of vineyards I'd never heard of (shock!). Impressed? Yes, yes I was.
The restaurant is in a new string-o-shops and is small enough to enjoy an intimate dinner, but big enough so you don't feel weird. The prices are reasonable and are far worth the quality of incredible food.
They did not have live music when we went, but I hear they do on Saturdays.
Doooo it! You'll thank me. Hopefully with monetary donations.

Great food and service!
I read about Sonoma Grill on yelp and decided to try it last Wednesday. Best yelp suggestion ever. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. We started with 1/2 price appetizers in the bar... seared Ahi Tuna and chicken potstickers were fanatastic and then indulged on 1/2 price wine (Mon-Wed). Everything was great but I wasn't overwhelmed until my Sis and I got the dinner special... a 14 oz ribeye with grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes. I usually order medium rare to rare and expect the ends of the steak to be overcooked, but Sonoma Grill cooked this steak perfectly! It was medium rare from one end of the steak to the other. My date's pork steak (aka pork chop) was over an inch thick and cooked perfectly as well. Both meals were under $20 and better than meals I've had at twice the price. The evening was rounded out with attentive service as well.
A great place to bring a date, or hang out with a group of friends! I like the atmosphere alot. The food...is delicious!!
