Very pretty inside, but we sat on the patio. Everything we ordered was delicious! We ordered The Greens salad with gf fried chicken, Salt & Pepper Tofu, and the Umami Bomb. I wouldn't change a thing! My mom is gf and had other allergies and they were very informed and helpful. We also ordered off-menu drinks and they came out perfect.

Let me just start off by saying this establishment needs to understand that not everyone carries their Covid card nor should they expect people to be vaccinated. If you are seriously worried about your employees getting sick then do take outs only.
Enough of about their Covid policy's. The food was extremely blend there was no flavor at all. We ordered fries and it was over cooked and very oily. If I am paying $200 dollars for my dinner I expect my fries to be not burnt and oily.
Their sauces for the fries tasted really awful and it lacked flavor. Next time just stick with ketchup.

First time to the Fern Bar and it was AMAZING! We originally went for cocktails and stayed for the food. Their drink menu is phenomenal. They have so many spirits and so many intricate cocktails. I had the Kyoto Sour and a Creamsicle (I could've bathed in these). We started off with the green onion pancake and salad which were both vegetarian and tasty. I had the chicken sandwich which was larger than I expected but so good! I fell in love with the interior of Fern Bar, as you would expect it's fresh and covered in gorgeous plants. The service was great and everyone was so kind. You do

I came here for a girls night. We sat outside due to their Covid restrictions. You have to get tested to sit inside or show your Vax card. Due to this I probably won't be returning. Their Host said they are the only restaurant in Sonoma County with these restrictions. As if that was something to boast about. We just ordered the "aged fries" and some drinks. The "mushroom ketchup" wasn't our favorite but we did enjoy the Aioli. My friend ordered "smoke in mirrors" for her drink. The presentation was there but it tasted like a detox drink with Mezcal

At Fern bar, the menu looks delicious and their drinks looked pretty. The restaurant was very nicely decorated, and is the type that people would want their home to look like. Plant’s everywhere. Also, the drinks are prettier than I am.
The food was also delicious, full of flavor and beautiful to look at.

Such pretty interiors!!! Nice vibe! Enjoyed the drinks and food. To add to the flavors of cocktails, they also offered an option to add alcohol to the mocktail flavors. Don’t have a photo but the Shishito peppers were amazing!! We ordered it twice! Cocktails which are on the sweeter side: Froze All Day, Orange Julius Smoothie with Gin. Cocktails with stronger taste: @Wimbledon, Down by the Bay, Mango Mule.

We had a great brunch last Saturday. I got a bit surprise when we preferred to sit inside and they asked for our covid vaccination card. This was the first time that we got asked that around Sonoma County. The beignets were delicious! The avocado toast was a perfect size to share and we had the best French toast!

Big ups to a restaurant that requires proof of vaccination for indoor dining. Also excellent mask compliance by staff and patrons alike.
Now that that's out of the way....
What an AWESOME space! So much green! So many plants! I love it! Like, it's called Fern Bar, so you should expect lots of green - but man does it not disappoint. Excellent service, wonderful food, and a safe environment.
The fried chicken was absolutely wonderful, but for an appetizer portion they give you A LOT. So be aware. The steamed Pork Buns were delightful. The hand pulled noodles were a fantastic spice

A group of us dined at Fern Bar over the past weekend for a Bachelorette! We all loved it and had a great time. The outside dining area was nice and had heat lamps which was great. Our server came out right away with a bottle of champagne for the bride to be (we pre ordered it) so I would say it's a good place for celebrations! They had so many great unique cocktail options as well. I got the Pork Rice bowl as my entree and I didn't love the pork but overall it was good. service was great, food was good with lots of GF and DF options, and loved the overall vibes (inside of the restaurant

We stopped by Fern Bar after our Sunday Farmer's Market run. Vaccinations are required to dine indoors but it was such a gorgeous day, we went for their outdoor dining option.
Having heard great things about their Smashburger, I went for that while my husband got the Pork Katsu Sandwich. Nice and crunchy on the outside but moist on the inside, delicious with the sweet and tangy bulldog sauce. Warning that it was extremely messy, so maybe not a first date type of item, but we're way past that, so saucy cheeks it is.

Stopped by for a Sunday lunch. Using the Resy we made a reservation for the outdoor patio.
When I arrived to check in, the hostess asked for everyone's ID for indoor dining. Each person has to show their drivers license. Not sure what was required before hand.
After ordering, it did not even seem like it was ten minutes and the food arrived! This was before the lunch rush.
I ordered the Pork Katsu sandwich. Which was an oversized Pork katsu thinly sliced and perfectly breaded. The Bulldog sauce seems to be a mix of bbq sauce and katsu sauce. And the sautéed red cabbage was a prefect combo

This place is super cute and the food was soo bomb! My friends and I came here after rafting which I don't recommend because we looked like a mess but that's okay because we were starving
First pic starting from left then going clockwise:
1. Smash Burger w/ Fries - packed with unbelievable flavors I definitely thought my friends were exaggerating 10/10
2. Pork Rice Bowl - I didn't have much of this but I thought it was OK 6/10
3. Fried Chicken Sandwich w/ Fries - pretty good but not half as good as the burger 7.5/10
4. Hand Pulled Noodles - the lamb was sooooo tender and flavorful

Sebastopol's hottest spot. The sauces here are what really sets the food apart, and coupled with the drinks and ambiance have, Fern Bar is firing on all cylinders. We'll definitely be back.
By the numbers:

Ambiance 5/5
Value: 4/5
Guera - Excellent. Refreshing on the palette but not too sweet. Chili pepper spices it up on the side, as you like.
Hot Girl Summer - Very good. Sweet and smokey.
Umami Bomb - Excellent. Savory af. You'll definitely want an extra side of the sauce. Mushrooms were perfect, and the rice has a slight crunch

Inventive, refreshing, and visually appealing cocktails. All the sauces felt like “secret sauces” in some way—be it the hot sauce crema that gave the fried chicken a mellow kick, or the mushroom ketchup that “umamified” the aged fries. Good mastery of mixing different flavors and umami. Feel-good vibes with upbeat music, industrial design, and fern-forward greenery. Overall a gem in the Sonoma Valley.

First time here, came here to celebrate my birthday with my wife. We were not super hungry and originally had dinner reservations after.
We sat in the lounge area and didn't want to get up! The cocktails were amazing. Yes they are pricey, but it's 2021 in sonoma county and it's a craft cocktail. The list is tough... I want to try everything! I started with the Tina Faye, a Smokey Mezcal cocktail that hit the spot on a warm day. My wife got the passion fruit Mojito, it was great, so many fresh delicious flavor! With our first drinks we ordered the fries, damn they were good, so

So happy to be able to dine inside this beautiful restaurant! The food is rich and decadent (much like the decor). Can't wait to come back.
We ordered:
Asparagus -- thick stalks, perfectly cooked in a peanuty sauce
Pork belly rice bowl -- our favorite. A perfect mix of greens, rice, kim chi and pork belly, with a delicious miso-y dressing on the side.
Fried chicken starter -- another favorite. The little chunks with light crispy batter are addictive. And yet another delicious sauce to dip them in.
Trout in green curry -- the least exciting, but still very good. I just think with all the other

I had a fantastic happy hour experience at Fern Bar.
I stopped in late on a Monday afternoon with my fiancé. We were looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite and I had no problem making us a reservation as we were driving up. It was COVID time, so all reservations were outdoors. We were seated as soon as we arrived and the hostess immediately asked if we wanted the nearby heater on - yes please!
We ordered a coffee and a cocktail, and then a few small plates to split. My fiancé enjoyed his french press and I got a naught toddy, a boozy hot cider. It was perfect for the chilly day, and while
