The Pullman Kitchen

Our first night in Santa Rosa found us walking into the Pullman Kitchen. We were greeted immediately, seated comfortably, and enjoyed a delicious dinner. The dates wrapped in bacon were outstanding and the seared tuna over a 3 bean combo of edamame, green beans and cannoli beans was unique and tasty. The boysenberry bread pudding was exceptional. Our only suggestion would be to expand the wine list a little. We will definitely return.

Such a nice dinner with a really great staff. The bacon wrapped dates were so good and obviously the duck is delicious when the three year old wants to chew the bones. Thank you for everything!

This is my first visit to this restaurant nestled beside highway 101 and parking lots on two sides in an area a block away from the more active and gentrified Santa Rosa railroad square. The interior is a mix of hard surfaces; rustic tile, stainless steel chairs and actually not too much else that is memorable, except that overflow from the restaurant is accommodated in an area outside the restaurant in an indoor mall comprised of three oddly paired shops. Additional tables and chairs line a wall that is separated from the rest of the mall with a long floor screen. So out of 5 stars I give it 1 star for ambiance and 2 stars for service. The waitress was friendly but awkward in her greeting and verbal presentation of the menu. The busboy was sloppy and inexperienced and it was amusing to watch him construct a tower of plates and flatware on one arm as he cleared the main course.

A good friend and I enjoy a gourmet hamburger for lunch, our guilty indulgence. Having heard about The Pullman Kitchen in Santa Rosa as offering a fantastic burger, we combined a trip up to the county building department with a stop after for the double cheese burgers at The Pullman Kitchen. We were not disappointed. Two delicious grass feed beef patties were served on a brioche bun. Pure burger heaven! Our severer was prompt and friendly. For $15.50, the cheese burger, fries and pickle were well worth the price for this level of quality.

Monday. Fried chicken. Great atmosphere in downtown Santa Rosa railroad square walking distance to pretty much everything else. Decent wine menu great beer on tap and the yummy food. And in case you missed it Monday. Fried Chicken.
