“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!”
“We didn't know what to expect, walking in without a reservation early on a Friday evening, but Guiso exceeded expectations. We had the chef's tasting menu with wine pairings, which was a reasonable $80 (food) + $40 (wine) per person for three courses plus dessert. Our waitress assured us that it would not be too much food, and it wasn't; we left satisfied but not overly full. The two of us got different appetizers and entrees and shared each for an extra set of food to try; our salads were delicious but identical. Wine pairings were per dish, so halfway through each different course, the two of us would switch glasses. Our waitress reminded us that they are open for lunch as well as dinner, encouraging us to return the next day for another meal. It was so good, that we will likely accept her offer to return.”
“Perfect Anniversary dinner! The bolognese was amazing! loved the fresh peach buratta appetizer.”
“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 !?!?”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Service was exceptional! Craft cocktails were very good. I had the gnocchi with duck breast and it was very good. Wife’s fish was dry and had a slight fishy taste/smell. Perfect weather to sit on the porch with a nice view. Sommelier was great and paired our meals well.”
“Such a splendid experience! Our host was magnificent, the presentation of the wines was spcied (!) up with stories for each wine, we even managed to watch the rehearsal of their murder mystery night of actors and people from the winery. The spiced wines were unique and right up our alley, the cheese board was totally excellent and the live music rounded up the experience. Such a great place! Congratulations to the owners!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“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!”

“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.”
“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!”
“A winery that makes fantastic wines yet still appreciates and accomodates the customer. A rare combination. I'm a local to wine country and have been a wine collector for over 35 years and this winery is a top choice if you are looking to join a wine club.
Lots of boutique small production reds to choose from that are only available at the winery or via club membership,...and many great white wines as well if that is your preference.”

“Enjoyed Asahi flavors!! The menu is limited but the flavors are true Japanese taste! Had the gyoza, agedashi tofu, shrimp shumai - yuuuum. Will try the sushi next time. Comfortable and cozy, nice service and friendly staff. Will be back!”

“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!”
“So, I checked out Williamson Wines in Healdsburg the other day, and damn, it was a great find. The tasting room on Matheson Street is super fun, with this cool rustic vibe that’s not trying too hard. Their sparkling Malbec blew my mind—super bright and fruity, not like any bubbly I’ve had before. They hooked us up with some great cheeses and snacks that made the wines taste even better. The dude helping us was great, talking about how the family runs things and uses sustainable grapes without making it sound like a lecture. You can tell they care about making good wine—it’s smooth and doesn’t mess you up later. The food and wine pairing was perfect, especially with that Malbec stealing the show. Gotta hit up this spot again when I’m back in the neighborhood.”
“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.”
“Absolutely love this place. Never really been a wine club member but this place makes it so worth it. Tastings at the Bar, cheese and wine pairings, and the outstanding bubble room with wine and food pairings. Not only do they have great wine, but their sparking wine is outstanding. Who doesn’t love a little bubbly!! An absolute gem!”
“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!”

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

“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!”
“Leo was an outstanding host for our walk-in experience at TGE. He's a true sommelier that clearly loves his craft and the time he spent with my daughter, introducing her to the dinner points of wine tasting and technique was very much appreciated. Looking forward to a return visit during Harvest Fest.”
“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.”
“Nice, quaint tasting room in town. We had a great time trying a variety of reds and especially loved the Zin and Syrah. Reed, our tasting host was very knowledgeable, personable and down to earth. He took the time to answer all our questions and I can’t say enough about the experience overall. It’s definitely a must try for anyone visiting.”
“So glad we popped in here! We are visiting from Denver and had been to Blanchard in Denver and thought we ought to pop in here. (They have two places, one in Denver and one here in Sonoma). We did not have a reservation beforehand but the proprietor (Mark Blanchard) welcomed us warmly and had the table set for us quickly. By the way, you don’t stand at a bar here—you are welcomed to have a seat around a table to taste and enjoy the wine. He served wine liberally and spent a good amount of time chatting with us and he was a warm, fun and friendly host.
The wine was genuinely delicious across the board, and the “wine culture” component here was straight up down to earth and friendly. No snobby attitude at all. He taught us a lot about their process and it was so cool to visit such a small, family owned operation. As a military veteran I also appreciate that one of the two Blanchard Brothers is a fellow US Air Force Academy graduate/military veteran!
If you want to get fantastic wine, have a nice visit with a small, family owned winery, and support a military veteran business—come and visit!!
Mark, thank you for giving us a great time!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Love the atmosphere and champagnes !! Joined my first wine club with them !!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We recently visited the Mazzoco tasting room to celebrate my mom’s birthday with a group of six, and the experience was absolutely fantastic! Eddie went above and beyond to make the day extra special for us. His hospitality, knowledge, and friendly personality truly stood out. He made sure we all felt welcomed and kept the energy fun and engaging throughout the tasting.
The wine was incredible, but Eddie’s attention to detail and genuine care for our group made the experience unforgettable. Thank you for helping us create such wonderful memories. We’ll definitely be back soon!”
“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!”
“Neat little shop. I got a split scoop of Dutch cookie and Swiss chocolate. It was good. The selection was small. The pies were very pricey! $38 for a pie was a bit steep. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. There are 2 other ice cream shops on the square I need to try out.”
“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.”
“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 💯”
“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!”
“Such a beautiful winery I do wine tours and have visited many times and clients love Bella”

“Love our last night in Sonoma at the 106 Rooftop with Daniel taking good care of us. The atmosphere was beautiful and Daniel was polished, attentive and friendly always making sure we had a terrific experience... The Rooftop is a cool environment and the drinks, stone oven pizzas, starters and desserts
simply delicious!”
“What a great find! Non descriptive arrival (feels like you’re pulling up to a suburban house) but upon entering, a great buzz, crowded, energy. The atmosphere is “ok” but not disappointing. Inside, patio, and outside. The weather plays a huge role in what is the ideal setting.
Our server was perfect, Frankie D. The food totally rocked. Not “Madrid style throw stuff on the floor” but definitely authentic flavors. We enjoyed the Cava cooked clams, whole gulf shrimp, lamb meatball sandwich, dungeness stuffed piquillo peppers, Serrano ham bocadillos, and creamy chicken croquette. And of course, red and while sangrias! Highly recommend!”
“Local watering hole and music venue. Live music 5 nights a week- a feat even San Francisco venues have a hard time pulling off. Congrats on a very diverse music mix. Good drinks menu- and for a bar the wine menu is very good. There usually is a cover charge on weekends ( usually around $20). Close enough to walk from downtown Healdsburg. The music can be heard from up to a mile away. It will be interesting what will happen once the luxury development opens across the street. …
Parking: There is plenty of parking in front in their lot and on the street.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“Small, cozy place with beautiful ambience.
The place has been done very tastefully. The wall pieces to table decors. Food was on point and good portion size. My family loved the whole experience here. Highly recommended. If you are coming for flaming, do come here for some delicious Thai food.”
“Coyote Sonoma is a great place with great atmosphere, vibe is just chill place is super spacious and Dara the bartender serves some delicious brews allways working hard and making sure everyone is taken care of really great place to visit for some music or just have a beer and catch up with the friends.”
“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”
“A small taqueria near downtown Healdsburg and the town square. Homey not pretentious. Good food it's a bit pricey, but it's the area, and priced accordingly.
Authentic home style Mexican cooking. I had the shrimp diablo. Very spicy 🔥. Beans were authentic, creamy made with manteca. The rice was nice and fluffy and not dry. Served with flour tortillas.
A good change of food pace compared to the matheson 101 and other restaurants near the town square.
Parking: Town square has very limited parking. You may need to park a good walking distance from the shops and restaurants located in the Towne square.”

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