Seared

Seared stands as Petaluma’s premier destination for exceptional seafood and prime cuts, where culinary artistry meets the relaxed elegance of Wine Country dining. This upscale establishment has earned its stellar reputation by sourcing the finest Pacific Coast seafood and USDA Prime steaks, then preparing them with techniques that honor both tradition and innovation. The skilled kitchen team creates dishes that showcase the natural flavors of premium ingredients while incorporating subtle Wine Country influences.

The menu reads like a love letter to surf and turf enthusiasts, featuring day-boat scallops seared to perfection, wild salmon with seasonal preparations, and dry-aged ribeyes that rival any steakhouse in the Bay Area. Fresh oysters from local waters start many meals, while the lobster tail and filet mignon combination remains a crowd favorite. The thoughtfully curated wine list emphasizes Sonoma County producers, with sommelier-selected pairings that complement both delicate seafood and robust steaks.

The dining room strikes an ideal balance between sophistication and warmth, with rich wood accents, soft lighting, and an open kitchen that adds theatrical energy to the experience. The well-appointed bar serves as a destination in itself, where expert mixologists craft cocktails using house-made syrups and premium spirits. Whether seated in the intimate dining room or at the lively bar, guests enjoy an atmosphere that feels both special occasion-worthy and genuinely welcoming.

Seared delivers the kind of memorable dining experience that makes any evening feel like a celebration, whether you’re marking an anniversary, entertaining clients, or simply treating yourself to Wine Country’s finest. The combination of exceptional cuisine, extensive wine selection, and polished service creates an experience that locals treasure and visitors remember long after returning home.
