Restaurants in Healdsburg

“I have no words. I have to say this was the best meal of my entire life. It was flawless from beginning to end. I feel crazy saying this but I feel like they could actually charge more. It’s that good. Michelin describes the three starts as “Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.” And SingleThread knocks that out of the park. Unreal!”

“Once again, Carlos hits it out of the park! Seasonal offerings are amazing. Interesting and sometimes unexpected combinations that work beautifully. Really want to try the prix fixe chef's meal. Next time.”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“Perfect Anniversary dinner! The bolognese was amazing! loved the fresh peach buratta appetizer.”

“Had a delicious meal to celebrate our anniversary - gyoza and tempura to start, and then sushi rolls for our main - with the cutest heart wasabi. The service was wonderful - we will definitely come back again!”

“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!”

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

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

“5/5 stars – each star for customer care, product quality, atmosphere, speed, and value. Justin was a great host. I visited Thomas George Estates and was impressed by the beautiful vineyards, the peaceful ambiance, and the scenic views across the valley. The cellar tour was informative and the tasting was well organized, offering a variety of smooth selections. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience relaxed and enjoyable. It feels like the best winery near me and a top choice among Sonoma wineries.”

“Hi… 4 of us were old time wine tasters. 2 never experienced wine tasting before. Darren gave the new guests a full tasting experienced. While he poured a variety of your best wines to satisfy an experienced tasters pallet. I joined your club and carried out 12 bottles of yum to go. Great experience. We will be back.”

“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”

“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.”

“This is the hidden gem of a restaurant in the Healdsburg area. We had the Prix Fix menu and all of the food items were exceptional. The Steak Frites done medium rare was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. Service was very friendly and professional. We are definitely going back and highly recommend Bistro Lagniappe.”

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

“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!”

“Fun time. Awesome grounds too.”

“We had such a fun and delicious tasting at Williamson Wines in Healdsburg! The wine and food pairings were spot on and made the experience really special. Everything was so good we couldn’t resist joining the wine club on the spot!”

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

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

“Interesting tease, and very many delicacies”

“Highly recommend! The staff was so friendly and helpful. Their green detox smoothie was delicious and loved how dog friendly they are. Super fresh, quality ingredients, definitely coming back next time I’m in Healdsburg.”

“Such a relaxing environment and amazing wines”

“We had aof group of 8 do a tasting. Tasting was $25 per person and we tasted 6 wines. Ali is extremely knowledgeable about all wines with her past experience. I have done over 100 wine tasting in addition to numerous barrel auctions. This was one of my top tasting experiences. The passion Ali and Eric have put into their wines shows up in the quality of each wine we tasted. One of the more unique wines we tasted was the Brave, named for cancer survivors. I have tasted many rose' wines but the Brave was more rich and full bodied. Would go great during the holiday's and with appetizers. We bought all the varietals and plan on enjoying sharing them with friends. Working on planning another visit soon”

“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.”

“Everyone was so friendly, not sure if I’m just used to hostility from bar tenders in San Francisco but I had a really good time here. Live bands, good taps, and the music after the band was good too. Great parking situation. A bit more alternative / punk than the rest of the town in my opinion!”

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

“Yesterday we had an amazing time at J’s. Izzy Diaz greeted us right away and seated us at a beautiful table. Next Brendan came over to greet us and give us our first taste of some amazing champagne. These two gentlemen went way above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. I couldn’t thank them enough.”

“The wine was amazing, and equally importantly, we learned a ton from Reed about the art of wine appreciation. He met us where we are from a learning perspective with curiosity and without judgement. Really nice atmosphere, will return again!”

“We had an awesome tasting yesterday at this amazing winery. Robin was very friendly and excited about the different types of wines. She explained all the options throughly. We can not wait to get back home to try our selections for different dinners. Thanks again for everything.”

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

“Reserved a table here on a Monday afternoon with a group of four and had a great time. Tony was excellent providing us a history on the wines and where the wines are made in Italy. Highly recommend.”

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

“Beautiful day to enjoy great wine.”

“My brother made reservations while we were going to a few wineries in the area.

The day we went was a tad rainy but the weather made the experience more special.

We were greeted by a cute grey tabby while we waited for our table.

Once seated we were welcomed with delicious wines and great ambience.

Slowly other wine tasters left and our group was the last.

Super charming and personalable winery.

Not to mention the wine will blow your socks off.

Highly recommend!”

“Ramey makes some of the very best wines in the United States. Our tasting with Martin was terrific. It was informative and extensive.
We were exposed to some new red wines in there portfolio which were great and as a result placed an order for a mixed case. We will definitely be back next trip to Sonoma.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“What a unique and fun experience we had at Hafner Vineyards. While any trip to the Healdsburg area is a treat, our visit to Hafner made a fun trip all the more memorable. It isn't often that one finds a family business so committed to producing an exceptional product while also ensuring conservation of their land and the well being of their employees. I highly recommend taking the time to go taste delicious wine, tour the wine caves and watch the magic of a small business in action at Hafner!”

“Nice little winery right off the road with beautiful scenery of vineyards right next to you. The host we had was very knowledgeable about the area and can provide many good recommendations!”

“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!”

“Wonderful service, location, and historically excellent wines.”

“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”

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

“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.”

“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.”

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

“I have been coming to this restaurant for over 19 years now and every single time, I am filled with so much gratitude and love for the beautiful experience dining at Sake'O provides. From the careful selection of fresh and delicious culinary offerings and creative menu, to the serene and peaceful energy of the space.......Frank and Cheri never disappoint!”

“Come for the wine, stay for the beautiful grounds!

I proposed here a few weekends ago (she said yes!). I couldn't think of a more beautiful, intimate place! The tasting room has a beautiful view of the vines below the mountains, stunning in the afternoon sun. There is an area with some picnic tables below a clump of redwoods. And the gardens are the highlight for sure, gorgeous, well tended, and we got to sample a few kinds of figs along with our charcuterie!

We really enjoyed their GSM and seeing the wine in the making! Special thanks to Julia, she helped me find the perfect spot for the proposal and just went so much out of her way to make sure we had a time we'll remember for the rest of our lives! We'll definitely be back!

And be sure to say hi to Sir Winston!”

“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!”

“Best espresso beans in Sonoma county! ...I buy ‘em and pour ‘em into my Jura machine at home”

“They are the best by any metric. Your products are carefully sourced, the service is great. I’m there every day either getting a cappuccino, tea or a ginger muffin. There’s other choices in town, but not for me and most would agree.”

“Great wines. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.”

“been going here forever and the workers have never messed anything up. been addicted recently to a new drink and tori (one of the employees) remembered i got caramel drizzle in my drink (i forgot to say it when i ordered) dare i say they makes the best drinks ever (#sorry my boy jax) all the employees are super sweet and have amazing service and also make drinks super delicious!! no other starbucks can compare to this one. the nugget ice is superb”

“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!”

“Amazing Tapas Bar, the food was outstanding. I’ve spent many months through Spain and these tapas match any of the top Spanish restaurants. Julian was the best server. All around fantastic dinner. A+”

“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!”

“This was by far one of the best burger spots I have been to in years! My boyfriend and I were driving back from San Francisco to our home in Mendocino County, and I stumbled upon this gem trying to grab some food on our way home. We ordered the burger, chicken sandwich and truffle fries and I was literally dancing in my seat out of joy from each bite I took! The burger was popping with flavor. The chicken sandwich was crisp to perfection on the most delicious buns. We even decided to grab a scoop of Lavender ice cream after, which was incredible! You can tell that everything was made with love 💕 The guy who helped us was so chill and very helpful, I will definitely go back for the good vibes and outstanding food!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Authentic Mexican Flavor at a Great Price!
Just steps from the town square, Taqueria El Sombrero delivers a true taste of Mexico with every bite. The atmosphere feels warm and authentic, the servers are wonderfully friendly, and the prices are refreshingly reasonable. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick, flavorful lunch or something heartier without the inflated cost and hoopla of other spots, this is the place to go. A hidden gem worth every visit! 🌮🇲🇽”

“Jason is such a gem of a bartender! From the moment we sat down, he made us feel welcome with his warm smile and genuine personality. He’s attentive without being overbearing, and you can tell he really cares about creating a great experience for everyone at the bar.

Not only were the drinks absolutely perfect—balanced, creative, and beautifully made—but Jason also has that rare gift of making conversations easy and fun. He remembers details, adds thoughtful touches, and creates an atmosphere where you feel like more than just a customer—you feel like a valued guest.

If you’re lucky enough to catch Jason behind the bar, you’re guaranteed an amazing time. Highly recommend! 🍹👏”

“We were out for a Saturday morning breakfast. Decided to give Peppers a try. Yup, this is a nice family restaurant. Comfortable and quiet, yet welcoming. Lots of menu options. Quality was great. Very nice portions. Service was just right. Price was a little high - $50 for two main dishs and two coffee. Likely reflecting inflation. We enjoyed our visit.”
