Kelly Olson What a great diner experience! There are so many WONDERFUL options to choose from and it was tough to decide! They are very accommodating to make 2 egg omelettes rather than 3 and the super spuds are a skillet without eggs - which is just my jam! They can customize almost anything to suit your taste! Great food and good friendly service! So nice to find a local place with good local folks! This is a great place to enjoy breakfast or lunch in a welcoming environment with good food! Seems like a place regulars meet up! Thanks Carlos, this place is a treasure!

Janice Bae This restaurant has beautiful scenery, both indoors and outdoors. The building was supposedly built in the 60s and an antique feel that adds to the quaint look thats so unique and charming. My husband & I ordered 2 appetizers, a pasta, and a main and found the dishes quite filling and delicious. We especially enjoyed the pollo entree, which was interestingly more of a chicken puff pastry. The complimentary bread is also quite good - definitely have it with the balsamic vinegar. Overall highly recommend!

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.

Denise Fisher This was, hands down, the best and most authentic Italian we have ever had! If it was local to me I would be a regular there. My only regret is that we are only traveling through and I couldn’t sample the entire menu. It’s a small location but the atmosphere is on point and it is very busy because the food is fantastic! I was so full but I couldn’t leave without trying their crème brûlée and their cannolis. OMGOODNESS it was so worth being beyond full when we left. I will make a point to go there every time I am traveling through.

Kristina Kouris My mom & I were exploring the old railroad square and stumbled upon this place doing so. Im so happy we did! We came on a week day late afternoon/ early evening and there were some people, but not too crowded. We sat at the bar and had a drink & ordered a pizza. The bar tender was super nice & attentive. I got the Painted Lady drink which was good, not too sweet or strong. The wood fired pizza is amazing. I got the house made sausage one and it was incredible. The crust and toppings were just perfect! I would definitely come back here again when in the area!

Cindy Martin Carson We went here for breakfast this morning and it was great! Friendly and efficient service, good food, and a cozy diner ambiance. I had cheese blintzes (daily special) and they were divine. A lot of other items were very large, but the blintzes were the perfect amount of food. The mocha was also delicious! We live in Eureka, but we’d definitely be regulars if we lived in town!

Brian Williams The veggie empanades are amazing but honestly we have never had a bad meal here, lets get that straight! Every dish is a flavor bomb. I love this place and my wife and I have enjoyed Sazon for years. The expansion is amazing with the new deli area. The wraps are fantastic! Staff is always great, friendly and super helpful to explain the menu. We had the chicken wings for the first time today and wow!! You gotta try it to see for yourself.

Diana Tarlson My husband and I came into the Chevys in Santa Rosa on a whim because we don’t have locations near us any more. Molly was our server and was amazing! She was attentive and friendly and made sure we had the best experience during our lunch. The food was delicious and came quickly! Highly recommend eating here!
