Restaurants in Healdsburg

“Came up to Healdsburg for the day and stopped in here for lunch. Not many of the top rated restaurants up here are open for lunch and so glad we found this restaurant. The owner and Chef talked with us about his opening up to the lunch crowd and also about his passion for cooking. The restaurant is a wonderful, eclectic spot just off the "main square". Food was absolutely incredible and elevated. Fish tacos are amazing! Service staff was excellent and friendly, adding to our experience. Definitely will be returning!!”

“My friend and I visited Healdsburg for the 1st time on Saturday evening and decided to checkout the bar scene at this nice, high end establishment.Very nice, welcoming ambiance, music and vibe as soon as you walk into the hotel lobby and bar area! LOVED it! :)We happily ordered a bunch of bar bites and drinks for a couple hours. Skilled, Seasoned Bartender Jason was amazing, attentive, friendly and made us some fabulous alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks! YAY!!! :)I think Jason’s bartending skills, the ambiance and the live jazz music were what kept us chatting, eating and drinking at the bar for hours.Of the very many bar bites we ordered, I think the bacon hamburger and delicious french fries was the best of all of our bar bite tastings.Of the many alcoholic drinks, the Espresso Bean Martini was delightfully DELISH! I would never have thought to order this drink since my FAV martini is a Grey Goose Lemon Drop so I’m so happy that Jason suggested it and served it up perfectly! You MUST try it! Can you say YUM? :)The bar crowd/customers were friendly and we sincerely enjoyed meeting some new people and chatting up a storm with them while we were there! :)I highly recommend hanging out in the bar or lounge for well made cocktails and drinks and live music! Enjoy! Santé! :)”

“Phenomenal wine bar. Fun for all wine nerds. Burgundy city with old wines, everything ready to pop. Finished the night with insanely good sake, had a gorgeous sancerre. Next time I'm going burg or going home. Ha. Thank you Evan. So nice to meet you. I'll see you often buddy.”

“Yum- always a fresh and fun experience at Molti. Menu rotations provide a constant surprise and new reasons to come back (today was lamb shank, molten chocolate cake) , wood fire pizza staples (basil pesto!) we can count on, friendly and consistent service, and lotsa swag (hip hop soundtrack meets Italian bocce cafe).”

“We are so glad we chose to dine at Valette!! We shared the chef’s choice 5 course tasting menu and it was a culinary delight!! The food was prepared perfectly and coursed out in perfect timing. Exceptional service, food and cocktails!! We can’t wait to visit again!”

“Outstanding south Indian cuisine. Delicious vegetarian and vegan curries and other variations of vegetable dishes. Good samosas and dal soup. The staff are great and the owner is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.”

“We attended a friend's birthday dinner and used their private room.The food was very good and the service was excellent.I had the lamb shank. It was very tender and not too fatty.”

“What a delightful experience in downtown Healdsburg. Service was attentive and it was a quieter night being on a Sunday. The garden fresh crudités with trio of spreads was a particular favorite. As was the very delicate and herbaceous cocktail I ordered. Absolutely would go again.”

“Stopped in for a quick tasting and to pick up a couple bottles of the Sav blanc. Ian was so helpful and gave us the exact right amount of information without pressuring us into wine clubs. We were in a hurry and didn’t intend to do a tasting but he gave us a couple samples and helped me select a couple bottles we hadn’t tried before. Dry creek has an amazing indoor and outdoor set up that I highly recommend if you’re in the area! Definitely suggest asking for Ian and having a glass of wine or tasting!”

“We love the rustic savory biscuits as well as other pastries.Parking: The parking lot is kind of small , but that should not stop anyone for trying. We have always managed to get in.”

“What a great little spot! We had a tasting here and loved all their wines. It’s a great space with a fun atmosphere. The crowd was small and friendly. I enjoyed the live music. It was a fun addition.”

“Went out with a group of friends, that included a couple who are frequent diners at this spot and one who swore she didn’t like sushi. We ate omakase. By the end of the night our non sushi eating friend was hooked. We had so much fun eating as well as watching the artist at work.”

“Went to Porter Creek during the Wine Road Barrel Tastings weekend in Sonoma. We were greeted at the parking lot by their two friendly dogs Poppy and Paco.We followed the little hosts (dogs) up the road to where they had set up the tent for the barrel tasting. It was rainy and cold but there were heaters to keep us warm.The barrel tasting of pinot noirs were pretty good. After that we went into the tasting room and tried the current pinot noirs. So good! We bought a few bottles to go.”

“One of our favorite wineries in the region! The wines are delicious, everyone working there is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. On a sunny day there is no better spot to spend a few hours tasting some wines and taking in the view”

“Had an awesome experience with Julia today. We've been members for a few years now and Julia made us feel like family during our tasting. We really appreciate the kindness and awesome service. Oh...and the wine was AWESOME too!”

“Outstanding dining experience. Amazing food and service. All the things you would expect from a Michelin star restaurant. When our server sat us and asked our preference of water , he discretely signaled a colleague and our glasses were instantly filled. In another example, he picked up an empty glass , discretely put it behind his back while he spoke to us and another server wisked it away almost unnoticed. It's the details that matter.”

“Amazing experience. Pedro and Pamela are very knowledgeable about wines. The place is very cozy and cool history of the winery. There were also 2 adorable puppies in the property.”

“My wife and I stopped by today to fill our sweet tooth. Got to meet Susy and was impressed, not only with all the flavors but that everything was made in house. We will be back!!”

“Another amazing restaurant in Healdsburg. We loved the global creativity of the dishes, the elegant cocktails, and the fun atmosphere. The service was exceptional too. We sat at the bar (I thought I’d made a reservation but hadn’t) and we were glad to be there. The folks behind the bar were engaging and interesting. We had the two specials (a crudo and the croquette) and the dry rubbed ribs and French fries. Each dish was unique and clever. It’s going to be hard not going back every time we are in town.”

“Took my partner for a nice date and came across this place by chance!The staff was so nice and knowledgeable, very attentive with tea times and descriptions! Had great vegan options. Can't wait to come back! This place is amazing!The matcha is perfect too, with nondairy options [coconut, oat] and for the boba as well.Beautiful place.We'll be back!Pros: Atmosphere, Service, FoodCons: Smaller food portion [could have used a bit more noodles for the price!]Vegetarian options: Great options for both vegans and veggies.”

“Came here on a fun week away with girlfriends. Did the food and wine pairings.. wonderful history and interesting wines. Actually met and talked to the winemaker!”

“We were looking to do something different today. On a whim our daughter suggested Breathless Wines as she has been here before with her friends. We are glad we came. Cherish was our server; she was wonderful. Being business owners ourselves, we know how important it is to have good people on your team. We also really liked the outdoor patio. The setting feels very comfortable and relaxing.”

“The space previously occupied by Flying Goat Coffee is now taken over by Black Oak. The food offering is better, with several gluten free options. The espresso oat drinks have good micro-foam. We had an enjoyable stop over after lunch at Little Saint.”

“All their wines and bubbles are fantastic! We did a legacy tasting with cheese pairing and Izzy our server was informative and friendly. The chef made modifications to the cheese tasting based on our likes/dislikes. The atmosphere was comfortable and elegant. We had a great time and look forward to going back.”

“Ok if the wines are extraordinary, Rob is even more! Charismatic and so easy to understand through his presentation. Came here with our son and daughter in law as their first visit to Sonoma and they loved it! The Pinots are amazing and the Chardonnay is outstanding ?. Hope you visit them!”

“Very nice space and good wine. We were the only ones there so we got plenty of attention and got to learn about the wine and wine makers, which was fun, but it was a little low energy so maybe it would have been a little more fun on a weekend afternoon. Though if you like low-key, low-pressure, and low crowds, then you'll probably enjoy the vibe here.”

“I've got to put 5 stars to all for this small sushi spot in Healdsburg. The staff are always friendly and ready to get you into a table. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed, once you get your first bite of food, you know you've come to the right place. Delicious rolls, appetizers, udon, hand rolls, baked rolls, bento boxes. This small kitchen packs a punch and its all flavor and quality ingredients. Whether I want to dive in and try some specials or take my favorites to go... I choose Otoro!”

“If you come here, you’ll be so lucky to come across Angie…. she honestly made the experience here exponentially more memorable than it already was…. So warm and knowledgeable in all things. We will definitely we back and we’ll be asking for the homie Angie ?”

“This is a great little hidden gem in Healdsburg! Their pizzas are legit thin-crust east coast style pizza, and it's super convenient that you can order by the slice so that you try the different pies. It's super casual, lots of TV's, and a very clean environment. Even the beer selection is solid. This is a great place to bring the kids, or just an ideal spot if you need a quick pizza fix.”

“Very nice wines. They are known for their Chardonnay and Pinot noirs. There is a $25, $35 and $45 tasting. With the $25 you get 4 tastes and the $45 you get 6 tastes. What a nice place to hang out and sip wine. The interior is deco modern and it's walking distance to some restaurants in the heart of the downtown area.”

“Impressive venue, spectacular location. Just a few minutes from a beautifully designed Healdsburgh square. The restaurant is located in a historic mansion, warm and inviting upon entry. The staff is well trained, engaging but not over the top. Great selection of wines, I would like to see more of mid priced choices. All the dishes were well presented and proportioned. I was impressed how the chef made all the ingredients work in harmony. My appetizer and main dish were salty, next time I will ask for no added salt. The carrot cake for dessert was just plain. The added raisins did not elevate it, not comparable to my other dishes. A banal way to finish an otherwise fabulous meal. I will go back and I recommend it highly.”

“We were here for the Wine Road barrel tasting weekend and they've put out their three best wines, Nebiolo, Montepulciano, and Sangiovese, for the tasting.Very friendly winemaker and staff. There's a mini Italian market inside and they were giving out samples of the panetonne and a spicy sausage pasta.There were tables outside in the back patio with a nice view of the vines. No outside food allowed.”

“We arrived too late for a full tasting, but the gentleman invited us in for an abbreviated version. The wines we did get to try were delicious and satisfying. Great ambiance. Excellent customer service.”

“Came here with my girlfriend last week and it was by far the best wine tasting experience for both of us. Mark has a much more laid back environment for the tasting and he’s also the most welcoming, especially for wine novices like us. I will continue to buy Blanchard wines”

“Been members and have been coming for years since we visited from out of town. Lovely variety of wines and we enjoy sitting outside. Great staff that take of us!!”

“Amazingly fun and delicious visit. Wine was great and so excited to bring some home and look forward to futures available next year. Absolutely everything was scrumptious but personal favorites were the merlot and zin.”

“Long been a favorite Healdsburg restaurant of mine. This time around, ordered Duck Meatballs, Steamed Clams in Cava, Chicken Thighs and the Skirt Steak. This was good enough for 2 people. The dishes were excellent. There's outdoor seating in the back, but we dined inside.”

“My husband and I had an exceptional wine tasting provided by Kyle. It was their wine club pick-up party so they were not initially taking walk-in tastings. As we were headed out to their other location, a gentleman ran to fetch us saying they could accommodate our tasting - which we thought was incredible customer service. In a very busy environment, Kyle provided our tasting, full of knowledge and good conversation. The wine was an added bonus as it was delicious - and don’t forget about the cheese pairing! Definitely the best money spent on our trip! We’ll definitely be back!”

“My favorite wine/vineyard in Sonoma. They have been making amazing wine since the early 1900s and still family owned and run. The grounds are stunningly gorgeous and the wine is superb. Old school, non filtered, French oak barrels, good red wines. The owner, Mr. Rafanelli, sat down with our group of four for over 40 minutes and shared the history of the vineyard, starting with his grandmother coming to America from Italy. He was an absolute delight and it was the highlight of our weeklong trip! Of note- you must have an appointment to visit as they do not take walkins. However, it is well worth your time and effort to visit.!”

“My wife had members of her family come in from the east coast last month and they wanted to visit with us as well as taste some interesting wines in a comfortable relaxed atmosphere. I have noticed Alpha Omega's tasting room opening just off the square and decided we should duck in to see if it would meet our needs. It did and was wonderful. Service was top notch. Samantha catered to our needs and informed us of what was in our glass while leaving room for us to visit and enjoy everything. My family grows a few acres of Grenache here in Sonoma county and I was pleased to taste Alpha Omega's Grenache. I purchased a bottle and will share it at my family's next get together. A great place to make some wonderful memories.”

“We enjoyed our visit. The team there spent time with us but not too much - leaving us alone to enjoy our time. Luke, Isaiah, Felicia thank you. Thanks for the “comparison” tastings. We tried a few of our favorites when we were in Napa and based on our time there - this will remain one.”

“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!”

“What a fantastic gem. The owners were very friendly and the service was 5 star. Wines are great. Coming from Australia and was worth the trip. Do not leave the area without visiting here.”

“Absolutely phenomenal wines. Great hostess. DO NOT skip out on this gem. Take a break from the beautiful vineyard properties and do this tasting before or after shopping downtown. Truly artful winemaking here.”

“We were visiting Healdsburg from Alberta, Canada and came here a week ago for a wine tasting to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We absolutely loved our experience here! Our host Keith was very knowledgeable about the regions and the wine themselves and was such a pleasure to chat with as we sampled the Twomey and Silver Oak wines. We loved that he allowed us to experience the flavours at our own pace and it made the tasting all the more better! The views from this place were simply fantastic and the staff were warm, welcoming and accommodating. We hope to be back soon one day.”

“The best bakery in California ! All of their baked goods are fresh and tasty! Everything they bake is top of the line! You can taste the fresh ingredients they use. I recommend the baked bread and rolls as well!”

“I'd say that the quality is only middle-of-the-road for Starbucks locations, but the service and ambience are both great. Employees are always super friendly and go the extra mile, which is a really nice surprise coming from the East Coast, service is super fast, and I love the mixture of seating options and the working outlets. Recommended as a place to stay and enjoy a drink, although there are better options in Healdsburg if you're taking an order to-go if your'e not .”

“The sushi is always fresh and delicious at SakeO. We got the martini prawns, the pot stickers, edamame, and three rolls. Everything was fabulous. You will not be disappointed if you dine here. So tasty!”

“We recently visited the Arista Winery and had a tremendous visit. Collectively we have been to Arista several times. Carrie was our host, she was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to give us a memorable experience. Isabelle also provided insight to the wines adding valuable information to our tasting. The wines are fabulous, truly enjoyed all that was poured, we always purchase wine. Arista is a most stop if you are in the area. Look forward to visiting again next year.”

“I love this place. We went on a weekday afternoon after a wine tasting. They had nice picnic tables outside with beautiful views of vineyards. They had a good selection of lunch items. I got a panini which was tasty but a little greasy. My partner got a tuna salad sandwich which was tasty. I would definitely go back.”

“We love this place. We have been to both locations (Santa Rosa the other one). Their ice cream is delish and good variety of flavors. They offer tasty treats as well. My only gripe, i wish they would change their cupcake GF option, it is always the same (been that way for years). My husband is a fan of their pies. This location gets busy during the warmer months so be prepared to wait in line if you come to the square during a hot day!”

“Came on a birthday trip to do wine & chili pairing. Beautiful location, great service. Never had we had a tasting where you get to sample multiple bottles over 100 dollars each. This is not common when you are not a member, and even then it will typically cost you. We fell in love and ended up joining their wine club. Can't wait to come back.”

“Don't mind me, just casually in love with Comstock Wines. Upon arriving and walking through the breezeway towards the outdoor tasting grounds, I could tell I was gonna like the vibe here, and that was before the welcome pour of bubbles! We headed into the tasting room to check in to taste, we didn't have a reservation but they were happy to accommodate us. As mentioned, we were given a welcome pour of bubbly, my mom doesn't like bubbles and didn't plan to taste, but she was still given a welcome pour of her choice of two different white wines they had open!We went outside and picked where we wanted to sit, then were given the run down and tasting options by our tasting associate, Jason. We then enjoyed our welcome pours while deciding what to do. Though I typically go for the mixed flight option, their red flight wines were really speaking to me, and I'm glad I listened. Glasses were brought out then wines were brought out 2 at a time. I enjoyed learning about the grapes, where they came from, and everything else that was shared with us. Jason was extremely knowledgeable and fun to chat with. The property was spectacular. It was well maintained, the views were beautiful, and I loved that you were able to walk around to really experience it. I ended up going home with 3 bottles of wine, one of which has already been consumed before writing this review. Highly recommend Comstock if you want good wine in a beautiful setting, and with great service.”

“Landmark has always taken care of us. Carol and Kent are a joy. We had a very wonderful time with our host, Katelin! She was great and gave us a ver nice afternoon and some fun wine tips as well!”

“Stopped here Saturday afternoon for something warm. My husband and I got the Chai latte which was probably the best we have ever had out. They make their own concentrate which is rare these days....perfection! Our nieces got the hot chocolate. "This is the best hot chocolate I have ever had" words from my niece. Cute little shop, with some nibbles if that is your thing. The service was great as well. Will be stopping here next time we are in Healdsburg.”

“Easily best Mexican food in healdsburg. The taste is so authentic and they have great customer service. The owner (or at least who I think is the owner) is always so warm and welcoming. My partner gets the chilaquiles, we get tacos de al pastor and today I tried the caldo de rez and omg it taste just like how my mom use to make it. Their mole enchiladas w chicken are also super tasty, authentic tasting mole with the yummy smokiness it tends to have. I highly recommend and I don't think it gets the recognition it deserves. The salsas are also always so consistent too, I just wish they were a tad bit spicier! The place is quite small and parking lot can be busy but the restaurant itself is always tidy and they have a pretty extensive menu considering their kitchen doesn't look so big, also they are able to fix a dish quite fast! All in all 10/10, I hope it never changes.”

“Wonderful cappuccino! Greeted warmly and place has nice casual atmosphere with mix of locals and tourists.Wheelchair accessibility: Good space and easy to get to the front door based on the clear markings in parking lot.”

“I love going to Parish on a nice, sunny day. It was stormy out when we were there, and unfortunately, every time the wait staff had to open the door by our table, it didn't fall shut by itself. The wind was high, and the temperature was low. Not their fault - it's a converted old house, which usually adds to the ambiance. This past Saturday, it was inconvenient and a bit uncomfortable.”

“This is a hidden gem. If you live in the Bay Area, you must visit these smaller wineries that only make a few hundred cases each year. The wines are amazing and the surrounding area is so beautiful and peaceful away from the hustle bustle of tourists. The father daughter duo are great host! Abbie and her dad really gives their all to ensure everyone that stops by has the fullest experience at this winery. The winemaker moved to CA to make wind because he loves drinking them so why not learn to do it himself and live the dream! I really liked the Five Vines, which is a Bordeaux style grape. It tasted full and robust. So so so delicious that I could just drink wine all day and sit out in the sun. Heck, I would even work at this winery in exchange for free wine!”

“Most delicious Thai I've ever had. Thai is our go to... We have had Thai food in Canada, the US, and New Zealand. New Zealand had consistently amazing Thai... but this place outdid even that. Service was extra fast and hot... and did I say delicious? Not sure why they only have a 4.3... should be way more than that. Tom Ka soup was amazing.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian section on the menu... plus many of the other menu options can be made with tofu.Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegetarian and gluten free options... says on the menu that most things can be made gluten free.”

“The best bakery in California ! All of their baked goods are fresh and tasty! Everything they bake is top of the line! You can taste the fresh ingredients they use. I recommend the baked bread and rolls as well!”

“What a fantastic gem. The owners were very friendly and the service was 5 star. Wines are great. Coming from Australia and was worth the trip. Do not leave the area without visiting here.”

“Amazing experience. Pedro and Pamela are very knowledgeable about wines. The place is very cozy and cool history of the winery. There were also 2 adorable puppies in the property.”

“We love the rustic savory biscuits as well as other pastries.Parking: The parking lot is kind of small , but that should not stop anyone for trying. We have always managed to get in.”

“What a delightful experience in downtown Healdsburg. Service was attentive and it was a quieter night being on a Sunday. The garden fresh crudités with trio of spreads was a particular favorite. As was the very delicate and herbaceous cocktail I ordered. Absolutely would go again.”

“Long been a favorite Healdsburg restaurant of mine. This time around, ordered Duck Meatballs, Steamed Clams in Cava, Chicken Thighs and the Skirt Steak. This was good enough for 2 people. The dishes were excellent. There's outdoor seating in the back, but we dined inside.”

“Food was incredible. We ordered a little of everything. The oysters were delicious and fresh. My favorite was the Fried Ipswich Clam Strips With Shishito Peppers. Service was a little slow for midday on a Tuesday.”

“Service was great and place is cute. I saw on website they had 1 Michelin so was a bit apprehensive when seeing menu. Not sure if this is a different format that the 1 star restaurant or the same, but not sure this deserved a star. Food was good...we split a variety of items. Croquettes were the best. We enjoyed our time there and prices were good. Just confused about 1 the star as I don't think place warranted it but overall good experience.”

“I would say overall a lovely restaurant, but I was expecting more from the food. Some dishes were great but others fell short. The servers were very nice.It did take longer than we expected to eat about 90 mins total. That may have been for the on chef in the kitchen.”

“Food was delicious, and arrived promptly. Staff was perfectly competent and friendly, but was a little too anxious to take plates away- making the experience feel rushed. And there were seats available.”

“We made a reservation for our wedding anniversary and the staff couldn't have been more gracious. We were greeted at our table with a card signed by the wait staff and two glasses of sparkling wine. We thoroughly enjoyed our prices fix dinner menu and upon the desert service we were treated to two glasses of digestif. Very impressive. Thank you for making our anniversary truly special❤️”

“Oh wow, just had the most phenomenal meal here. The edamame salad, the steak sandwich, pork breakfast wrap- the flavors were so balanced and delicious. Meat melted in your mouth, the cheese they used was *chefs kiss*, bloody marys- one of the best I've had. Run here now.”

“Spoonbar serves well-balanced dishes with an emphasis on quality and taste. The branzino was really good and the Brussels were excellent. Lamb meatballs with harissa sauce and feta were on point. Great wine list, too. In your staying anywhere in the Sonoma valley area, it's well worth the tripDietary restrictions: The menu is well marked with gluten free and vegan options.”

“A really awesome spot. Food is amazing, staff were incredibly friendly and great at making recommendations. We had the 2x2 ($33 for 2 meats and 2 sides which was more than enough for one person), the house salad with Salmon which was amazing and the pulled pork sandwich which was to DIE FOR. If you are stopping through, you must go.Vegetarian options: We also had the Brussels sprouts as an appetiser which were delicious”

“A lovely place for brunch and baked goods. Offering many vegetarian options. The vegan eggs and soy chorizo are scrumptious and their sour dough bread and veggie sandwiches are delicious and filling. The bakery is packed with an assortment of Fresh French pastries, cookies, muffins, and decorative cakes. The prices are high for the quantity of food you receive on your plate but overall very tasty dishes, sandwiches and sweet treats— my go to is their cinnamon walnut bread— extremely addictive. The waitstaff are friendly and courteous so I definitely recommend checking out this quaint historical bakery located off of downtown Healdsburg.Vegetarian options: Mostly an all meat menu but they do offer vegan scrambled eggs and soy chorizo, beet salad, French toast, and veggies sandwiches on a croissant or sourdough bread.”

“I love going to Parish on a nice, sunny day. It was stormy out when we were there, and unfortunately, every time the wait staff had to open the door by our table, it didn't fall shut by itself. The wind was high, and the temperature was low. Not their fault - it's a converted old house, which usually adds to the ambiance. This past Saturday, it was inconvenient and a bit uncomfortable.”

“Our visit got off to a rocky start, with certain requested drink and food items not available or delayed coming to table, but the waitstaff was very accommodating and made adjustment, and we wound up having a good time (w leftovers) and plan to return.”

“The space previously occupied by Flying Goat Coffee is now taken over by Black Oak. The food offering is better, with several gluten free options. The espresso oat drinks have good micro-foam. We had an enjoyable stop over after lunch at Little Saint.”

“We have been going to Agave and their sister restaurants for many years. I like that they are now offering special's Prices have escalated, unfortunately, but will definitely be back maybe with no alcohol ?”

“It's so cute here! Great little bar and tables inside and out! The bartender was nice and gave me some samples of the wine. Did tv try the food but it looks good. I'd come back to try it for sure .”
