Restaurants in Healdsburg

“The SingleThread team delivered the most exceptional hospitality we’ve ever experienced.

Every aspect of our two-night stay and dining experience exceeded expectations. My wife and I have stayed at many of the world’s top hotels and resorts, and this was the first time we’ve had a trip where every single touchpoint felt thoughtfully designed and flawlessly executed.

From the pre-arrival communication and concierge team, to the transportation arrangements, farm tour, personalized service, and countless small details throughout our stay, everything was handled with genuine warmth and care. The team made us feel less like guests and more like friends they were welcoming into their home.

The restaurant experience was equally remarkable. We’ve been fortunate to dine at many of the world’s best restaurants, and our dinner at SingleThread easily ranks among the best meals of our lives.

A special thank you to Kyle, Katina, Brianna, Alyssa, and the entire SingleThread team for creating such a memorable experience. In an industry where true hospitality is rare, SingleThread sets the standard.

We left already looking forward to our return.”

“Delicious and fabulous little cafe! Great service, brilliant food w fresh and delicious ingredients and a lovely neighborhood vibe. Great stop and not a tourist trap at all”

“We had a great prix fixe meal of 3 courses but the also offer 5 courses. No bad selections except for the cauliflower steak. I don’t think that is worth a steak or shrimp pasta but that is my opinion. Outdoor dining is available and they have heaters by the wall of sliding windows that open up totally he outside. Awesome deserts. I had the cookie butter cheesecake. I died and went to heaven.”

“Fantastic restaurant all around. The food was absolutely incredible (my favorite was the pescado and sliders). The host/server Vanessa was so kind and had amazing recommendations! It’s the only place worth eating at when visiting. We’ll definitely be back!”

“I love this place! Especially the “us vs. them” side by side tastings of new world vs. old world European wines. The recent pop-up dinner with second staff was very well done!”

“Valette is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out is an experience, not just a meal. The Day Boat Scallops en Croûte is an absolute showstopper—encased in a delicate, golden pastry, it arrives at the table with a dramatic tableside pour of velvety sauce. The result? A perfect balance of buttery richness and ocean-fresh sweetness. Another amazing is the Sashimi Grade Hawaiian Ahi Poke Style. This is not your ordinary poki as it is made with 24 Month Barrel Aged Soy. The level of freshness of the fish truly comes through as the flavors blend perfectly with the crisp avocado. It is a fine line when adding a flash fried avocado to a dish that’s usually served cold. Vallete executes it perfectly! For the main course, the Dry-Aged Duck is a must-try. Crispy skin, succulent meat, and a medley of locally sourced seasonal veggies. Dessert is not an afterthought here. Strongly Suggest even if we do not have room at the end we always order the ItsNotA ‘Snickers Bar’ Deux. Service is impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and the staff exudes genuine passion for the food and wine they serve. We love the whole team but especially Aaron-Jake-Sean-Isaac are amazing !?!?”

“Absolutely delicious and visually gorgeous food! The food was fresh and incredibly flavorful. A new favorite place to eat and shop in Healdsburg!! Excellent friendly service and great ambience. I am now on a mission to learn how to cook vegetable based foods like that!”

“Agave Mexican Restaurant has the best, most delicious dishes north of Marin. Delicious authentic homemade Mexican dishes. The best Mole sauce with almonds, herbs, chocolates, the best Mole sauce in the United States of America.”

“Had an amazing dinner at Asahi tonight. We did the omakase menu - the fish was incredibly fresh and well-prepared. The chef was also very friendly and welcoming. We will be regular customers for sure!”

“Such a beautiful winery I do wine tours and have visited many times and clients love Bella”

“Leo was the best. After driving past TG we finally went in and had a spectacular experience. 5/5 stars – each star for customer care, product quality, atmosphere, speed, and value. I visited Thomas George Estates and was impressed by the beautiful architecture and relaxed atmosphere. The panoramic views of the vineyards made the tasting experience unforgettable. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, offering a great wine tour that highlighted a diverse selection of wines. The wine selection was excellent, with a nice range of varietals to sample. It truly feels like one of the best wineries in Russian River Valley for wine tasting. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a wonderful winery near me.”

“I’m making a special trip from Illinois just to eat here. Gonna revolve our Vacation around the area. Looking forward to coming”

“Had lunch for the first time here today, a delicious one! The menu is huge, so I look forward to trying so many of their authentic dishes. Happy to have them in Healdsburg. -Ali Story”

“It was a good day even though it did get very windy. Our server was very personable and brought us wine we wanted to try. He was very nice and put the wine in our trunk for us.”

“Interesting tease, and very many delicacies”

“Top notch and the perfect setting for a getaway.”

“This is a charming little restaurant in Healdsburg, that's definitely worth checking out. We started with lite bites and cocktails at the bar. Their spirits selection was impressive and their bar staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. They were very knowledgeable on cocktail recommendations and had a number of unique and interesting options. The food was unique and delicious, and the wine list was also impressive. We enjoyed a great bottle of CDP, recommended by the sommelier, who was also very friendly, knowledgeable and very passionate about his craft. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back!!”

“Experience is superb! This family winery is large sale but still very close to their hearts. Katie, Hank, Linda and Harry were amazing hosts. Their winemakers were very busy yet still open to answer questions. Highly reccomend!”

“amazing wines, the owners are super personable and helpful, the charcuterie and the sangria were delicious!🍷🥂 5 star by far⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“We visited Williamson Wines for their afternoon Happy Hour and had a wonderful time! For $15 you get a glass of wine, truffle popcorn, house-made BBQ chips and a choice of a shrimp appetizer or slider. My wife and I both chose the shrimp and it was excellent, particularly the very strong cocktail sauce! George took great care of us and made excellent wine recommendations. After telling him what I generally drink and enjoy, he poured me a glass of the Entice blend and it was amazing! I would highly recommend visiting Williamson for one of their many tastings or events!”

“Such a relaxing environment and amazing wines”

“So good! The Lox Toast was excellent and the super seed bread was to die for. I’d love the recipe.”

“Healdsburg's best kept secret is Otoro Sushi, but thankfully it doesnt stop at just sushi. I happened upon this restaurant after going to my favorite place to shop for landscaping sculptures and misc. decor in Healdsburg, Garrett Hardware which happens to Otoro. Today, on my way home from UCSF we decided to try it out and to say we were in love at first bite would not be an understatement. We started off with a bowl of their soup which was delightful followed by a serving of tempura vegetables 😋😜 and we could not get enough or pick which one was our favorite. Then onto the main course one Bento Box with Teriyaki Chicken and its sides along with our sushi which consisted of 2- California Rolls, 2-Shrimp Tempura Rolls, 1-Yum Yum Roll 😋 (My Favorite) It came by its name for a reason and finally a Jalapeño Bomb Roll which is going home to the boy . 👦The only thing I forgot to add is I cant wait to go back.”

“I LOVE this place, been there 5 times. Great friendly vibe. I bring my friends when in town. Healthy and delicious! So full of flavor. Amazing variety of goodies in the salads and on the toasts. I was wishing for gluten free options, wish granted!”

“Still thinking about this spot since visiting last week! Brought some family in town after trying one of their delicious wines at a nearby restaurant. We enjoyed the beautiful wines, the cozy fun tasting room, the lovely doggo Soup and Eric led us through a tasting. We genuinely loved getting to know about him & his wife’s story and their love for wine and their brand. Joined the wine club and I am already looking forward to my next visit. If you’re visiting Healdsburg and want a personal experience this is the place people!!”

“Best ice cream around -! And a wonderful family to support”

“Just an outstanding evening. Was able to meet Charlie Palmer in person (I have been a long time fan). He was so warm and welcoming..

That was followed by some over the top service by Dominik. What a pro he is. Really made for a wonderful experience.”

“We had reservations and were asked to make a change for a very special holiday party which we were happy to oblige. When we came for our reservation the food was outstanding and the service was incredible!! Everyone has been incredibly warm and inviting as well. Our surprise was when we were accommodated very generously for our r slight inconvenience. We can’t say enough good things about this place and everyone who were so pleasant and made our trip here the best! Thank you again!! We HIGHLY recommend this place!”

“The Healdsburg Counter-Operation

Healdsburg town square is usually an altar to high-end curation and quiet wealth, but if you walk a few blocks down the avenue, you find the perfect structural anomaly. A low-key, unpretentious patio sanctuary where the air is thick with acoustic guitar soundchecks rather than wine-tasting notes.
The miniature anarchist was sitting across from me on the wooden bench. She wasn't happy about the lack of pastries, but we managed to broker a tense peace treaty. The terms were simple: she got a local pizza box delivered straight to the gridiron table, and she agreed not to dismantle the patio.
With the asset secured, I turned my attention to the liquid evidence.
**The Forensic Breakdown:**
* **The Prime Suspect (16417.jpg):** A pint of Hazy IPA resting on a red cardboard coaster. It was an absolute masterpiece of low-transparency brewing—opaque, thick, and glowing with a deep orange radiance under the patio light. It hit like a velvet blackjack, delivering an awesome, tropical hit that made the valley heat entirely negotiable.
* **The Companion Ale (16416.jpg):** A secondary glass containing a clear, golden-hued traditional IPA. Crisp, sharp, and holding a thin rim of white foam against the glass like a defensive perimeter. A pink lifestyle magazine sat blurred in the background, a complete mismatch for the gritty, honest vibe of the table.
* **The Cold Alibi (16415.jpg):** A glass of ice-cold soda sweating heavily under the humid air, condensation running down the glass like tears from a broken informant. It sat next to the open pizza box, serving as the anarchist's primary fuel source.
**The Verdict:**
If you’re tired of the hyper-manicured wine-country racket and need an honest pint of top-tier hazy beer to settle your nerves, this is the best hideout in the valley. The protection tax is low, the beer is phenomenal, and the crowd actually lets you breathe. We’ll be back to run the same operation next time we're on this beat.”

“Thank you to the entire team at J Vineyards for making our Bubble Room tasting experience so special. The attention to detail, quality of wine and food, and knowledge of the team members were impressive. We loved it! Thank you!”

“Sean was delightful and educational during our wine tasting. The wines are superb, we loved learning about the terroir from which they are grown, and the different personalities that each winemaker brings to the table. Absolutely worth a visit when in Healdsburg”

“Porter Creek Winery was such a peaceful gem and one of the highlights of our wine country trip. The team (Crystal) went above and beyond to accommodate us, even staying a little late so we could enjoy the experience — and we’re so grateful they did!

The setting was absolutely stunning — quiet, serene, and surrounded by natural beauty. It was the kind of view that makes you want to take a deep breath and stay a while. The wines were just as memorable, especially the Zinfandels — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.

To top it all off, we were greeted by Poppy, the sweetest dog who made the whole experience even more charming. Between the warm hospitality, the incredible wines, and the peaceful ambiance, it was the perfect way to wind down our day.

Highly recommend Porter Creek for anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate tasting experience with a personal touch.”

“Beautiful scenery, great wines & the staff are amazing with great service and knowledge! Really had a fabulous time there!🍷”

“Fun time. Awesome grounds too.”

“We were strolling around Healdsburg and decided to stop into Orsi. Great decision! Delicious wines, and staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.”

“One sip and you are hooked! What else can you say! Love love love”

“Pinot Noir HEAVEN!!! They do have other varietals like Sauv Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Rosè, Merlot, Grenache, Cab Sauv, Red blends, White blends, and awesome dessert wines!!!”

“Thank you to Hafner Vineyards for such a wonderful and memorable tour. After being members since 2005, it was especially meaningful to finally experience the wines right at the source—the setting, the history, and the craftsmanship all exceeded expectations. What made the day truly special, though, was sharing it with great friends and creating new memories together.

A special thank you to Kate and Sarah for bringing the experience to life with such warmth, knowledge, and hospitality. You made the day feel personal, effortless, and unforgettable—exactly what makes places like Hafner so special.

Warmest regards and looking forward to our return !!!”

“We enjoyed our wine amd cheese tasting experience so much. The staff is awesome, informative, professional, and warm. Delicious wine and perfect cheese pairings. Pro tip: both dessert wines are delicious 😋”

“Beautiful day to enjoy great wine.”

“They had 21 Pinot Noirs and one Chardonnay which was their first endeavor with that grape. They hit a home run with it. I was even able to get a chilled bottle, just what I was looking for on a hot day. The Pinots were all good, some very dry, some not so much but not jammy.”

“Great wines. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.”

“Friendly and professional staff. Enjoyed the small plate from the menu with the tasting.”

“I thought this winery was totally awesome, Tony was very knowledgeable and helpful. The tastings and the food pairings were great. He went above and beyond what we expected, highly recommend.”

“Gotta tell ya…best Chardonnay I’ve ever tasted! Sean was such a kind host and shared his knowledge with our group in terms we could really understand. Learning about this family owned and operated winery makes selling and serving these wines in our restaurants really special. Our Place Cafe and Cafe de Fleur in central Alabama will soon feature these beautiful wines…and our bottle shop, Grove Station, will highlight them over and over again as a top pick in our Chardonnay section! Thank you, Ramey Team, for hosting us! Come see us in Alabama…we’d love to return the favor!!!”

“Amazing tasting and wines overall. We weren’t sure about it being close to the “airport” but it was really awesome seeing small planes and helicopters coming in. Super unique. Will be our Go to for the Wilson family winery membership”

“Michael and staff! Thank you for an excellent morning ah Black Oak. Your coffee and breakfast are top notch. I can't wait to order some coffee and share it with my fellow baristas back home in Michigan. Cheers!”

“I've been coming here regularly for about 18 months and enjoy it immensely. The staff are courteous and friendly (none of the smug faux-hipster crap I sometimes see at other coffee joints), and the atmosphere is generally mellow, even when it's busy.”

“Great Wine! The Pinot Noir is wonderful and this Year the Chardonnay is out of sight!”

“Månedens pizza i mai er den beste pizza jeg noen gang har smakt. Håper dere kan få denne innpå menyen deres👌😊”

“Hirsch was an outstanding stop. Their Pinot Noirs are truly special. They are elegant, complex, and a perfect expression of the Sonoma Coast. We had a beautifully guided tasting with a host who was incredibly knowledgeable about the vineyard’s history, farming philosophy, and winemaking approach. You can really feel the intention behind every wine.

The setting is intimate and relaxed, making it easy to focus on the wines and the stories behind them. If you’re a Pinot lover or just appreciate thoughtfully crafted wines, this is a must-visit. Highly recommend.”

“We really enjoyed our experience at the winery on Saturday. Not only are the wines fantastic, but the people working there are friendly and knowledgeable! Keith was a great host! Thank you for such a nice time!”

“Great people and spectacular wines! thus will be a continuous go to for us. oh and we left with a case!😊”

“Wow. We found this winery through an Airbnb “Experience” listing for a cooking class + vineyard tour + food pairing/tasting. My goodness are we blown away. We spent 4 days in Napa, toured many estates and vineyards. This was the one which stole the show. The staff, from start to finish, were absolutely delightful individuals. The farm area was beautiful with education on sustainable farming practices. Our time in the kitchen was amazing, with life-applicable cooking tips we could take home. The tour of the grounds blew us away, the history and knowledge fully restored our hope in sustainability. Then, the food and wine pairing with the fresh produce we hand selected. The wines? The best we’d had in 4 days. I will make a trip just to come back here and spend a day or two. Amazing. Thank you.”

“My friend and I stumbled across this hidden gem winery while biking. Colin graciously gave us an impromptu tour and tasting! He was very knowledgeable, sharing his insights on Zinfandel history and the Sonoma wine region. The two Zinfandels, Chardonnay, and Cab we tried were wonderful. The ambiance was relaxing and perfect. Don’t miss this stop!”

“Spectacular food and service!
Fan of Thai Food but this one is a GEM
Lots of flavors, fresh and tasty ingredients.

“Jeremy absolutely made our experience complete! Not only was the wine delicious and the tasting experience wonderful, but he took a personal interest in our trip and wrote out a detailed itinerary for us to go see Bodega Bay. It was one of the highlights of our trips and we wouldn't have thought of it had it not been for Jeremy's kindness and hospitality!”

“Really beautiful view and great wines. The winemaker sat with us and walked us through all the different wines, as well as some fun history and insights. Also great to have a big black lab as company!”

“Amazing customer service , they go above and beyond”

“If you’re visiting wine country in North Sonoma County, be sure to stop by this establishment. I rarely post reviews, but if you’re hungry for lunch, do yourself a favor and have one of their sandwiches. I had the French Dip and it is seriously one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. Top it off with a hazy IPA from the bar immediately next-door and attached to the general store or any beverage of your choice.”

“Never been to a place with better service. The food is amazing and the team is incredibly nice. Visited for 2 weeks and came here every day haha!

Miguel is amazing as well, helped us out and was very attentive.”

“The Spirit Bar is in the lobby of hotel Healdsburg. It only has eight stools but it's a really cool bar in a great atmosphere and Fridays and Saturdays live jazz starts at 6:00. The bartender Jason is absolutely outstanding! He's charming clever witty and a very very good bartender. The food comes from Dry Creek kitchen and is absolutely spectacularly good! And I am a foodie and a former chef. I'm generally go once a week to enjoy this special place and I hery highly recommend it. Go try it out and you won't be disappointed.”

“Gallina D' Oro in Healdsburg is very nice, up scale and reasonably priced. The food is over the top delicious. We started with the guacamole along with complimentary chips and excellent salsa. For our main course we had the Molcajete. It came out bubbling hot with huge portions of New York steak, tender Chicken and Prawns in a slightly spicy tomato and onion sauce. The fixings rice, beans, crema and verde sauce come on an extra plate with homemade tortillas. We are outside on Saturday night and the ambiance is stunning. The wait staff was so attentive I never had to ask for anything, so refreshing for outdoor dining. I can't wait to go back, and Highly Recommend the Gallina D' Oro.”

“Amazing Mexican food, large portions, one dish serves two people easily. The salsa, even the pico was so flavorful. The orange salsa is spiiiicy, like a habanero. Really yummy though.”

Highly recommend.”
