Sonoma Bistro & Wine Bar

I've been listening to the new JT album entirely too much. When I started writing this review I instantly thought of all the cool mirrors inside this cool Brookside spot -guess what song popped in my head? Yikes -don't tell my super indie friends.

I would describe the atmosphere here as charming chic... like going to Napa! Inside there is a bar where you can hangout and a few good sized tables with a private area in the back for parties. On the patio, you can watch the bustling Brookside-ers.

Perk to the patio: Pups are welcome!

The menu is fantastic. I tend to always order the blackened chicken and avocado sandwich accompanied with sweet potato fries. The chicken on the sandwich has a unique and flavorful  taste and is still tender with the blackened crust. When I'm out for a fancy night dinner and feeling meaty, I can never go wrong with the grilled skirt steak with gorgonzola - it's a supreme steak flavored to perfection making every bite beautiful!

The drink list is not just limited to wine. Beer and cocktails are served as well that will quench the thirst of the masses. I tend to stick to a glass of Hahn merlot because it parirs wonderfully with my favorite menu items.

Scrumptious food, full-bodied wine, and a patio for Mr. Olof? You can bet I frequent this Tulsan treasure!

I went here for the first time with my boyfriend on a Tuesday so we got right in without a reservation.  Our waitress wasn't overly friendly but the service was good and we had no complaints.  They have a pretty good wine list with a range of prices depending on how much you want to spend. I had a $6 glass of pinot grigio and it was very enjoyable.  I noticed that they also had an interesting cocktail menu with several drinks I'd love to try next time.  We shared a caprese salad that was really good although the mozzarella lacked a bit in flavor.  I ordered the citrus and garlic chicken with roasted red potatoes and spinach, which was to die for.  The chicken was so tender and the flavor of the sauce was perfect.  Not too strong and not bland, just light and delicious.  My boyfriend had the blackened chicken and avacado sandwhich with sweet potato fries and liked it very much as well.  Then, we made the mistake of ordering the apple crisp.  Sounds delicious right?  Hard to mess that one up, but it was awful.  Probably the worst dessert I've ever had.  It was so bland, and the cinnamon streusel that was supposed to be crumbled on top was just a giant flavorless burnt tasting cookie stuck on top of the vanilla ice cream.  We took a few bites and couldn't do anymore.  What a waste.  We had a different dessert in mind after looking at the online menu but the menu at the restaurant was completely different so that was disappointing.  There was definitely some yummy ones on the website that we would have loved to try.  Overall, we had a wonderful experience and can't wait to try other things on the menu, but next time we'll definitely order a different dessert.

We totally enjoyed our meal here. We started with the fried pickle appetizer.. Delicious, I loved the dipping sauces. The portion is huge, take a few people with you to share it.

Their cocktail menu looked really interesting but since it calls itself a wine bar I went with wine. They had two proseccos on the menu so of course I had to try both. They were both fantastic.

I had the veggie sandwhich for dinner and my husband got the burger. Not too original but both were prepared really nicely so I have no complaints.

An excellent stop for our dinner in Tulsa.
