The Spinster Sisters - (Near Santa Rosa, CA)

4 /5 Keegan Smith: I have been wanting to come here for a while, and the food was pretty good. I absolutely love the vibe of this place, and the spinster fries are to die for!!! The reason I am doing 4 stars though is because of the price and quantity ratio. Their steak, which was fine/good, was flat iron, which I don’t believe is the best cut of steak and for $45 you barely get any! But the sauce with it is so good. Everything we tried we enjoyed, but it is hard to say we would come back because of how pricey it was. I also loved that they had a Juneteenth celebration, The Spinster Sisters is obviously community oriented, and I do think they have a great thing going on, but again just too pricey, and there are other places I would rather go for the price. Maybe if there are special/local ingredients they could highlight that more to make it more worth it? Just my suggestion!

5 /5 Jessica Crumpton: Spencer Sisters feels like a place you stumble upon and then immediately want to tell everyone about — or keep secret just a little longer. Tucked away but buzzing with energy, this bistro brings a confident spin to American fare, with a raw bar that rivals the coast and a pastry program that deserves its own spotlight. Let’s start where any visit should: the oysters. Always impeccably fresh, served ice-cold with thoughtful accompaniments that let the brininess shine. Whether youre a purist with lemon or a mignonette devotee, there’s no wrong way to start your meal here. From there, the menu leans classic but never boring — think beautifully seared fish, well-sourced meats, and seasonal vegetables treated with care. Every dish feels grounded in American tradition but with just enough finesse to keep it interesting. It’s familiar food, elevated. The wine list is another highlight. Smartly curated, it walks the line between comfort and discovery — youll find respected domestic producers alongside intriguing international picks. Whether you’re pairing with oysters or a rich entrée, there’s always a bottle (or glass) that feels just right. And then there’s the pastry — truly next-level. Whether its a buttery tart, a delicate layered cake, or a warm, seasonal dessert with a modern twist, the sweets here are far more than an afterthought. You’ll regret skipping dessert — trust us. Spencer Sisters is the kind of place that does the small things right, and that adds up to something special. Warm service, a sense of place, and a menu that hits all the right notes — from sea to pastry case. It’s a bistro with backbone and charm.

4 /5 Teresa Sedano: Sweet little spot down the way from Cafe Frida, with a smattering of tables as well as counter seating (although I dont recommend for those who need more comfortable chairs...the counter seats are slender and tall, and plain wood. In fact, the table seats were also bare bones...if you have a sensitive back, bring a soft pillow. Food is delicious but pricey (example: main dishes run as high as $40). A glass of sparkling chardonnay was $14. Reservations are highly recommended as the place is not roomy.

5 /5 Marcos Pozo Jatem: We ordered Thanksgiving dinner to go for 2. One of the few places around the are that would cater to just a couple - while we were vacationing in the area. Incredible food - even as take out. Cannot comment on their service for indoor dining but Im sure it is great. Their stuffing was delicious, and their cranberry sauce and grave just perfect. Best home cooked meal while on vacation ever. Highly recommend.

5 /5 David Weiner: First time here. My type of place. Small, intimate and cozy. We started with the heirloom apple salad, moved on to the mushroom handheld and the pork tenderloin. Everything was very good. The salad large enough for two. The tenderloin, perfectly cooked and paired with a sauce made from apples. We had no room for dessert. The service was great. Overall a home run.
