    The noise from the kitchen was far too loud. There were few regular tables. We sat at a window counter facing the street. Not vey romantic.

    we had servers but the one who was awesome was Riley… we came up for the day from berkeley… she would walk by because she was busy , very busy… i will put my finger up to say something and boom , there she was .. the other one would stop and we’d ask for something and she’d never come back.. thankfully riley would always follow through and the hostess would also help us..

    First time in downtown Petaluma and the Shuckery. We were seated at the bar and realized early on that we had a fantastic view of... the stuff you don't want to see at a restaurant - the messy sausage being made. Dirty rags laying around, opened drippy tupperware containers, random sauces dripping off of a scale... just not cute. I could understand if we were watching the food being cooked, but this scene was NOT that. I asked about the profile of the sparkling wines per glass. Was told they were both "bone dry" so ordered a glass only to have it taste sweet & fruity. Then the food came. Decidedly meh for $40+ per plate. Otherwise it was fine. Decent service and vibe. Just not worth the price tag.
