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!”

“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.”

“Unreal. This place has unbelievable food. Small restaurant, owner/chef right behind the counter cooking and food that will blow you away. The cachapa is unbelievable. GO HERE. Have Ruby wait on you. An amazing experience.”

“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.”

“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 !?!?”

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

“I took my boyfriend here for a Californian wine tasting experience and it was so perfect. The vineyards are beautiful and expansive and free to roam through but the service is also just as special. We were hosted by Darren who was extremely knowledgeable about the tasting notes of every wine and the individual process it takes to make each bottle. Darren offered us samples of lots of wines too and we even got a special wine cellar tour that we weren’t expecting. He then introduced us to the family owner of the Dry Creek Vineyard itself (like meeting royalty!). He really made our visit so memorable. If you’re planning a wine tour whilst in the area, this historic site is an essential first stop!”

“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!”

“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”

“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!”

“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.”

“Fun time. Awesome grounds too.”

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

Shout out to Gabe, as well! Top notch customer service and was very knowledgeable about the wine making process, food pairing, etc.

Highly Recommend stopping in!”

“Interesting tease, and very many delicacies”

“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!”

“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!”

“Such a relaxing environment and amazing wines”

“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.”

“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!”

“J Winery has been one of my favorite places in Sonoma for years, and I’ve proudly been a member for at least the last three. The wines are consistently excellent, but it’s the full experience that makes this place stand out.

The Bubble Room is truly exceptional—Chef Forest creates beautifully paired bites that turn a tasting into a full culinary journey. It’s a must if you’re visiting. The Legacy Lounge also deserves a mention—the cheese pairings there are thoughtful and delicious, and I’ve spent more than one solo afternoon enjoying them with a view.

The setting is gorgeous, the wine is top-notch, and the staff goes above and beyond. Casey, in particular, has made our last two visits especially memorable with warmth and impeccable service.

If you’re in Sonoma, J Winery should be on your list. And if you can, treat yourself to the Bubble Room experience. It’s unforgettable.”

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

“Omg can I brag about how Amazing Ali truly is I love her stories her empowerment her soul her integrity she greeted me with open arms and made me feel so welcome. Wine tasting was the best experience and loved each one she introduced me to. I loved your beautiful boys. Thank you for hosting us ❤️”

“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!”

“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! 🍹👏”

“The staff was excilent and provided good direction on tapas we may like. The food was what we expected and excilent. The Sangria was a hit with the group. Overall experience was fabulous.”

“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!”

“Really enjoyed our tasting! I think it was Stacey that hosted us and she did a great job of explaining all the wines and schooling us newbs on the basics. Loved the rosé and Grenache (which we came home with).”

“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.”

“exquisite grounds and excellent service from Leo. be sure to ask him for wine pairing advice. he really knows his stuff and explains all his choices.
The wines were very good. the reserve Chardonnay is a good choice even if you are not a white wine drinker”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“The wines speak for themselves, which is why we purchase and only share them with people who have a developed palate. But the service and experience is why we do the drive again and again. Eric
has welcomed us like an old, cherished friend with each visit. Book Bell Mountain tour if you can. Every visit to this winery is 💯”

“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!”

“Comstock Wines is set in an absolutely beautiful location. We had a seated tasting with Erik, who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wines. He made the entire experience both memorable and enjoyable. I learned a lot about wine, and his enthusiasm truly made the experience unforgettable! We loved the wines so much that my father-in-law even bought half a case to be shipped home to Florida. All in all, it was a fantastic experience.”

“Amazing customer service , they go above and beyond”

“Authentic, feels like I went to someone’s wedding. Delicious food 🇲🇽

I ordered black beans, rice, shredded chicken, guacamole, and salsa.”

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

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

“The tasting room is housed in a lovely, broad building with walls of glass and attractive architecture. There is a raised back patio, but I was glad to see that tastings were held on the front lawn and garden this hot Saturday afternoon. It offers shadier spots, and I chose one along the path that felt like my own cozy corner among the plants and butterflies.

It was still hot under the umbrella! But the tasting room staff kept my water carafe filled.

A few wines stood out among this tasting of five, with two bonus wines offered by the staff: Mazzocco Stuhlmuller Chardonnay Reserve 2022 and Mazzocco Seaton Zinfandel Reserve 2022.”

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

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

“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.”

“I truly enjoyed my tasting at Hirsch Vineyards! They were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience fun. When I asked for a restaurant suggestion they sent me to Malti Amici in Healdsburg, which was delicious!”

“I am always well treated, and the experience is so enjoyable! Great coffee and atmosphere, I have Everything to say about the wonderful barista team here- Zack, Lorenza, Joe and especially Hannah!”

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

“Walked in and were able to do a tasting even though we did not have reservations, very nice staff we ended up getting 3 bottles we had such a nice and welcoming experience”

“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!”

“Had a wonderful experience at Quivira. The grounds are beautiful, and the entire staff is delightful! Bonus, the wine is excellent! If you want a quieter more personal winery experience this is the place. Cheers!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – 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! 🌮🇲🇽”

“10/10 recommend this place !! Many options to pick from , very delicious GREAT SERVICE I went on Friday the lovely girl on Friday was super nice , my favorite was the chocolate ice cream definitely will be back”

“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!”

“There was a problem with the app not working correctly so the manager gave me my meal and said that they would get the money later and when I got home I had an email saying that the whole thing had been canceled, so, I need to go back and pay him $8.28. And a 100% will do that the next time I leave Cloverdale. That was beyond excellent customer service!”
