Kettles Vietnamese Bistro - Santa Rosa

Our server was excellent, managing numerous requests with professionalism and cheerfulness! The food was also excellent for our party of nine.

Kettles is one of the few places I can go in town. They focus on gluten free, and on humanely raised animals. The food is always great and they also have a happy hour with some of my favorite menu items on discount. If you have never tried their pickled veggies, you must! And their broth is superb! Tu, the owner, is very kind, and always takes great care of me. They even grow herbs and other items right outside the doors and use it in their cooking.

Please note we dined while the Superbowl was on the big screen near the bar, where 4 people were eating and watching the game. There people at 2 other tables while we dined. Service was terrible. We finally walked up to the bar to get another beverage. Even after we both used the rest room after being presented with the check no one came to collect our payment. We finally walked back to the bar to pay the bill. Our appetizer, salad and entrees came within 1 minute of each other. The entrees getting cold while eat our first courses.

I 've eaten there before several times, and the chicken noodle Pho was wonderful. Tonight my Pho had the toughtest pieces of chicken in it I was afraid I would choke trying to get it down. The rest of my party of 5 enjoyed their respective meals stir fry, vegetarian egg rolls and a shrimp rice dish. I was disappointed in my Pho and the wait staff/restaurant was so busy I never got a chance to call our waitress over to tell her about my meal. She apparently never had time to come and check on us, since she was too busy, too! : Otherwise, I ' 'l go back and try the Chicken Noodle Pho again and hope it 'll be as good as previous meals.

When i arrived exactly on time for my reservation the host informed me that there would be no tabel available for forty five minutes. When i informed him that i had an open table reservation he smirked at me laughed and stated it will be forty five minutes. When i told him that wasn 't acceptable he told me to bad. I could see that there were open tables and a whole section was empty. I am sure they were busy or understaffed but the hosts attitude was not friendly. I have not eaten there and never will try again.
