Animo Sonoma Reviews from The Last Year
Thank you, everyone at Animo.
You were amazing every time. Turbot, duck, porterhouse... gonna miss them
Maybe the best meal I've eaten? The vibe of this
Maybe the best meal I've eaten? The vibe of this restaurant is so good. It's unpretentious, tiny, and feels like you're at home waiting for your friends to feed you from their awesome wood burning kitchen. I wish I'd captured pictures of the ambience because it really felt like you were being served magic! You can see the kitchen fridge when you walk in and during the dinner you see it get emptied as they bring out dish after delicious dish. It's pretty special to see the ingredients listed in their raw form and have it appear in front of you all alchemised. Everything we ate was so different and unique from anything I've eaten and the portions were amazing too. It's hard to pick standouts but I'd order everything again in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, we were so full we couldn't order dessert (basque cheesecake) but I'll take any excuse to come back. Service was 100. Food 100. Ambience 100

Amazing food! The restaurant itself it so cute and cozy
Amazing food! The restaurant itself it so cute and cozy mixed with amazing food and wine selection. I would recommend anyone coming here, everything was absolutely delicious! The servers here were also so sweet and helpful. My partner and I came for a vacation and we came across this restaurant and we fell in love, come here cause it's amazing! 10/10 love it :)
Delicious! Get the fish, you won't regret it.
The mushroom appetizer was perfection
Small, cozy restaurant.
Difficult parking...not much at the actual restaurant. Allow extra time for finding a space. Very helpful, friendly service. We ordered the mushroom app, and it had awesome flavor. The shrimp app was tasty but super heavy on the garlic. We shared the duck. It was very good but a little overcooked...most of the pieces were medium or more. The sauce was tasty. It came with a salad (needed more dressing or something...very plain) and potatoes (they were delicious). All dishes were displayed in a beautiful way. We also enjoyed the matcha drink...interesting flavor. Would definitely recommend.
Easily one of the best new restaurants in Northern
Easily one of the best new restaurants in Northern California and a breath of fresh air in wine country. Worth a special trip -- Animo is a no brainer for a Michelin star. Service, ambience, wine list, and food were all top notch. Recommend any of the seafood appetizers, the turbot, kimchi fried rice, and Basque cheesecake. All were perfectly executed, inventive, and restrained. Staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and fun. Go eat at Animo!

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at Animo. It was quite a drive about 2 hours one way from the peninsula. We always travel for food because there is nowhere else serves whole grilled turbot that I know of so we had to make the trip up just for that. We had our first grilled turbot at Elkano when we went to San Sebastián, Spain. We traveled an hour by bus one way to Getaria just for the grilled turbot so it's no brainer we did the same going to Animo. We arrived early and waited until 5pm before heading to the front door. The host Heidi said they had a little accident inside so we weren't seated until about 20 mins later. As soon as we walked up the ramp the wait staff already knew my name and invited us in. Service was warm and welcoming. The restaurant is small with one communal table and few two and four tops only. As soon as the customers settled down, the wait staff pretty much hopping from table to table tending everyone so it might seem a bit rush. We were there for the turbot so that's what we ordered. Heidi said there will be about 15-20 mins wait which was fine with us. In the mean time we ordered the grilled hen of woods mushrooms and clams for starters. I love mushrooms and hen of woods ($20) is one of my favorites. Seems that many restaurants offer this same appetizer except at Animo they served with a yuzu cream sauce, and an egg on top. It was super tasty and wish the portion can be a tad bigger. Manila Clams with Spanish chorizo, aioli, dipping sauce ($25) - The clam was super flavorful especially the saffron aioli that was drizzled on top of the clams. The accompanied toasts were also made perfect. I can eat half a dozen of the toasts! The grilled turbot ($140) finally came and it was big like how we had it at Getaria. The portion size was more than enough for 2-3 people. It was super meaty but the best part of the turbot isn't the meat but the fins, head, and tail! Brussels Sprouts ($14) - small portion for the price especially they came in leafs and not whole or halves. Basque Cheesecake ($16) - brought back memories from the time we had our first slice at La Viña in San Sebastián. Muri Sparkling Rose $55 bottle Overall a great meal albeit the high prices and rather small portions. I did some research beforehand so knew what to expect. Just know before you go and you will enjoy your meal there. Parking: there are 4 parking spaces at the back of the restaurant. Restaurant is located between McDonald and an auto repair shop. Front of the restaurant has one regular parking and one handicap parking.
My review of the food is admittedly somewhat limited - I
My review of the food is admittedly somewhat limited - I was able to snag the only available table at 5pm and there were just 2 of us in our party, so we ordered just 3 of the apps. The crudo, the mushrooms and the prawns were all fantastically prepared and presented. I did not care for the seating situation - there is one 2-top and a couple of 4-tops, so if you're just a couple you have to expect to be seated at a communal table. The service needs a lot - I mean a lot - of work. We had two servers apparently unaware of each other because they each went through the drill of explaining the menu and suggesting their recommended dishes to us. I would have preferred for them to offer to answer any questions we might have and then leave it to us to choose our dishes. The one thing I really appreciated was that we were given 2.5 hours at the table before they let us know they needed it for the next reservation - at a place this tiny I could easily imagine them being less generous in that way. Most of the other diners there on our weeknight visit had dined here several times previously as they liked to mention loud and often, basking in all their glory and privilege LOL. This place is SO incredibly pricey I can't figure out who it's for - the communal seating and overall appearance is not at a level for a special occasion, yet it's too small to easily accommodate wealthy locals who have $200+ (before wine) to drop on a regular dinner out.
Animo - fabulous restaurant
This is a fantastic restaurant . Food is inventive with complex fabulous tastes. The dishes are to share. Whole turbot, a fish flown in from Spain, was incredible. The manila clams are a super small plate. Every dish tastes great and presented well. The staff is friendly, professional and helpful. This is my favorite Sonoma restaurant . The dining area is not large so one must make a reservation.
