What Maxie Quigley likes about Walter Hansel Wine Bistro:
from the amuse beech to the last bite hansels eating is fantastic the waiting staff is friendly and efficient. it is a little cool to sit outside to make a reservation, but we like to sit outside in summer and early autumn. recommend this restaurant. View all feedback. What Roosevelt Willms doesn't like about Walter Hansel Wine Bistro:
One of our comfort faves pre-pandemic so delighted to go back and see it hopping and busy on a Sunday night. The food was a little hit/miss. Lobster bisque was more watery than remembered but still tasty. Steak au Poivre was delicious but not warm and too rare for some at the table. View all feedback.

Walter Hansel Wine and Bistro offers a diverse dining experience with some mixed reviews from patrons. While some found the food to be hit-or-miss with dishes like lobster bisque being watery, others were impressed by the tasty and inventive options on the menu. The service received mixed feedback as well, with some mentioning a personal and helpful server, while others felt the hostess was unfriendly. However, the consistent highlight of the restaurant seems to be the quality of the food, with favorites like the Alaskan halibut and the duck receiving praise for their delicate flavors and impeccable presentation. While the portion sizes were deemed small by some, the overall atmosphere was described as cozy and inviting. With an extensive wine list and a menu that changes weekly, Walter Hansel Wine and Bistro offers a unique Californian take on French bistro cuisine, making it a recommended dining destination for those looking for a relaxed and informal dining experience in Sonoma.
