Lobby Bar

We were booked for two nights at The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn.  Since we got in after work on a Friday evening we ate, and of course drank at the Lobby Bar.  Yes, it's called the Lobby Bar.  

After so many cocktails you'd swear it had a better name than the Lobby Bar.  The nice thing is that they serve the same drinks at every Fairmont bar.  I know the drink menu by heart so I was set.

We had some Side Cars and the lovely cocktail called The White Lady.  Our bartender was fantastic.  She really made our visit.  

For food, we split the delicious most decadent Lobster Macaroni & Cheese.  The noodles were those shell like ones.  All of the bar food is made in the Michelin Star rated Sante Restaurant.

The food was so fantastic.  On top of the great drinks.

After eating and drinking we went back to our room and found we didn't have an ice bucket.  We also found that the ice machine was to far of a hike for us.

We walked down to the Lobby Bar with our coffee pot and the sweet bartender filled it with ice for us no problem.

On our two day visit we came in a few times and service was always exceptional.  It's an easy way to also enjoy Sante as well.

Situated in the lobby of the Fairmont Sonoma Inn, we enjoyed wonderful drinks and food from the Michelin rated Asante restaurant next door.

We had the "Grown-up" Mac-N-Cheese (lobster and truffle), Tune tartare , hot wings and a good-sized (about 5" diameter) chocolate souffle. We thought we would save alittle with dinner at Auberge the night before and then lunch at French Laundry tomorrow, but we were wrong. Six cocktails and the three plates we shared came to $197 with a nice tip for Doris.

Nice and casual, excellent appetizers from Sante! Very recommended!
