Glen Ellen Star Reviews
We reserved a month prior and was really excited.
The service was too notch despite being a full house on a Saturday evening. The food was also great. We liked the eggplant, fish, lamb, and sorbet. The pasta was ok, and the corn was too rich. Highly recommended if you are in the area but come ea
Absolutely delicious.
Enjoyed the ambience, service was stellar, and food was excellent. I recommend getting an entree and splitting a wood fired pizza with others. I will definitely be going back. Thank you Star for such hospitality and delicious food!
There is not much parking around the restaurant.
The biggest complaint was that they are only open from 5pm to 9pm and it gets very late and crowded. It fills up quickly. They said this small restaurant tries to monopolize every space directly, which made me feel like a number locked in a small hou
Tomato salad tasted primarily of vinegar, vegetarian pasta
Tomato salad tasted primarily of vinegar, vegetarian pasta was salty and had literal pools of oil. I would have mentioned this to my server but he never came back to check on me. Super disappointed for the price point.

Despite living in the area, this was our first trip out to the beloved Glen Ellen Star with some out of town friends. Right off the bat, parking is very challenging in the area. They have a small lot, but it fills up quickly and it isn't super c
Glen Ellen Star is a farm to table restaurant in Glen Ellen.
We ordered the Brentwood corn as an appetizer and I got the Wood Fired King Shrimp as my meal. We had the poppy seed cake for dessert since we went there for my birthday. It was good, although nothing really wowed me. The service was excellent and
My favorite restaurant to go to when I'm in town.
The food is always wonderful and the staff is amazing. I love sitting outside, but inside is fine too. Order their Brussels sprouts!!

Top dining in Napa / Sonoma area
When you reflect on a restaurant or a meal three months after you visited and you can still remember every dish and every moment of the evening, it must be good. My husband and I visited the Glen Ellen Star during our February visit to Napa. We sat a
Chef’s Counter a must-do!
We celebrated our anniversary here and sat at the Chef’s Counter. Watching them work in what I consider a small kitchen is nothing short of artwork. Getting to see the food prepared is one thing, but getting to taste and enjoy it is a pleasure all
Exquisite experience
One of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life. HIGHLY recommend the gazpacho, pork belly and branzino. Exquisite experience.

The sesame creme fraiche was delectable. The brick chicken was dry, and could use more than the pomegranate salsa to balance the flavors with something on the tart side.
Wonderful
Service begins before you enter the restaurant, with the friendly host/hostess outside to take you to your table. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, ready to answer any questions you may have about the menu. Good selection of local wines, an pl
Billing Error and Disappointing Pizza Experience
First, let's talk about the bill. My card was charged $147.05, but the total amount I owed was only $67.05, plus a $8 tip. This is the first time a place has ever made a mistake like this, so I'll tell my credit card company about it. Real
Excellent, gluten-free no problem
We had dinner here our first night in Sonoma. Nice atmosphere, very comfortable, No problem with gluten-free for our celiac member. I had cold asparagus soup and the duck sugo Campanelle and it was all delicious.
Always wanted to try this place.
Everything we had was farm to table fresh and delicious. Service and ambience was good too. Truthfully, I think it's a bit overpriced though. $20 for a small plate of carrots or brussel sprouts...really?

Came for our anniversary dinner and couldn't have been more pleased. Service was impeccable. They even gave us a cute anniversary card and complimentary rose' to start us off. As for the food we ordered the brussel sprouts, tomato cream pie pizz

Great food but the location of and line for the bathroom gives me anxiety, mainly for the staff. It was a charming place in a charming area in general. There was an incredibly loud table next to us that I would've loved to be told to quiet down but I

Outstanding quality and service! Enjoyed the fish, lamb and chicken dishes with a terrific pizza and salad starter. The Nebbiolo suggestion for pairing was spot on. We finished with the Olive oil cake with strawberry and rhubarb dessert! A must
The food is always interesting and well prepared.
Service is attentive and friendly. Ambiance is okay but it's a small space that uses every square inch that they can so there's only so much that they can do. Beware of the $35 corkage fee which is the highest I've seen for a neighborhood restaur

My son's favorite spot to dine in the Napa Valley area.
Pros- the food, everything is delicious! The atmosphere- open kitchen (highly recommend sitting at the counter!), the staff- everyone is awesome! I went over my Napa Valley restaurant list with a few of the cooks and chef, they gave me a few new spot
Headed for dinner here after wine tasting in the area.
We were greeted by the hostess with warmth and seated quickly. The food was pretty wonderful I have to say! The Brussels sprouts with the brown sugar marmalade and the cauliflower were exceptionally delicious and full of flavor. Hard to pick a favo

Really disappointed. Minimal menu, not impressed. My brick chicken was over cooked with pea greens over tasteless couscous.

I'd visit again
The Star has a very creative menu and the two dishes we tasted were unique and VERY GOOD. The wine list is small, mostly local wines, but the ones we tasted were wonderful. The staff is friendly and helpful. We happened to get there on a night when t
Deservedly popular
We made reservations at the suggestion of our friends in Glen Ellen, relatively last minute, which meant an early dinner for us. As a result, we had one of the dining rooms pretty much to ourselves for the first 45 minutes, which wasn't all bad. Ev
Great meal
We enjoyed our meal. Starters of the sourdough bread service and a chicory salad were both really well done. Always skeptical about a bread as a menu item…not here though. It was great. I ate duck breast special and wife had rigatoni with mushroom
An excellent restaurant
Just perfect. We ordered all vegetarian food including the wood roasted vegetables, sourdough bread, pizzas (tomato cream pie, white sauce with squash), pasta and some desserts. One of the best meal we have had in a while where every dish was worth
Left feeling indifferent
I did mention on our reservation that it was my birthday, and the hostess wished me a happy birthday when we checked in. I don’t usually respond to special requests, but Glenn Ellen is new to us and we were excited about dining at a Michelin star r
Great restaurant in a cute town
I loved this place and was sad we couldn't go back while we were staying in Glen Ellen. It's a very popular restaurant in town and we were only able to squeeze in a last minute reservation for dessert and coffee with our busy schedule. But we hear
Delicious
Terrific little spot in Glen Ellen, operated by very skilled chefs. Elevated food experience with great, local wine list. Cozy dining room. Seek it out. We will be back.
Just fabulous
What can we say about this fabulous restaurant. Food excellent, how can anyone make sprouts taste so good. The wagyu beef was melt in the mouth deliciousness. Everything was cooked to perfection . The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming whic
Amazing food and wine
We visited on a recent trip to Sonoma. The food was excellent. We had a Brussels sprout and bacon appetizer that was amazing. My husband had the rigatoni and I had the brick chicken. Both were so good. We sat at the chefs table and it was interesting
Don’t miss this gem
Deserves 10 stars! Absolutely fabulous and delightful evening sitting at the chef’s counter. Best food and presentation of our Sonoma trip.
Glen Ellen Star is such a cozy restaurant.
We got seated at the chef's counter, which made for a good little show.Brussel sprouts with brown sugar bacon marmalade - wow, this dish was rich. A little too rich and salty for our tastebuds. The chefs used a heavy hand when sprinkling the bacon. O
Really fantastic food and service.
Definitely can get crowded, so make sure to make your reservations in advance. I had the rabbit pasta which made the heavens open up and serenade me with a harmonic tune. Another guest with me had the chicken which was probably some of the best chick
Loved this place.
Service here is incredible, with seemingly unlimited knowledge of the menu and wine. We had a full day, so decided to stay light and get food to go. We started with the red sauce pizza with spicy sausage and chili honey. Oh my! That heat against the

The food and service were good.
Highly recommend the roasted cauliflower as a starter. It was pouring rain the day we visited and the staff were doing their best to whisk food to us in the add-on dining room without getting wet (note - there are two dining rooms - one with open kit

All the food was delicious. The Cashew di pepe was delicious and Vegan too if that's important to you. Also had the grilled cauliflower to start. They do have meat options though too....next time

Man, this is hard to review.
I'm pretty sure this is the only Michelin start restaurant in the Glen Ellen area (I could be wrong), and its accolades / popularity certainly seem to precede this joint. My only advice is MAKE A RESERVATION! While this place definitely books up (no

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Glen Ellen Star at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Glen Ellen Star page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ImmortalStep65, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ImmortalStep65 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ImmortalStep65 for any questions Peter may have as ImmortalStep65 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ImmortalStep65 now uses their connections at Glen Ellen Star to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ImmortalStep65 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ImmortalStep65 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ImmortalStep65's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Glen Ellen Star!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
