Sonoma Restaurant and Wine Bar

Sonoma Restaurant and Wine Bar, located just steps from the US Capitol Building, has established itself as the leading event venue on Capitol Hill. The 2nd-floor Private Dining Room is excellent for a cocktail reception for up to 60 guests or a seated meal for up to 40 people. The large dramatic skylights provide drama to this area, which is tastefully adorned in neural tones. The Avenue Lounge, located next door, is a big, modern facility with a view of Pennsylvania Avenue. This room is great for networking gatherings and can accommodate up to 125 guests for a cocktail reception. The entire restaurant can be transformed into a stunning event room for up to 300 guests for larger occasions. The event food menus at Sonoma have been created to reflect the restaurant's excellent quality and ethos. Our canapé assortment includes anything from house-made charcuterie platters to artisanal cheese boards, small crab cakes to house-made truffles, so there's something for everyone. With 40 wines by the glass, Sonoma's award-winning wine list, excellent, seasonal food, and pleasant, educated staff make the ideal setting for a small private gathering or a large Christmas celebration! Sonoma should absolutely be on your list, especially with its unexpectedly inexpensive costs for a Capitol Hill locale!
