14 Best American Restaurants in Healdsburg

“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.“

“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 !?!?“

“We had a snafu with our reservation but the Singlethread team made it right. Now as to the actual meal night, the experience was flawless. The service was impeccable - welcoming, interested and thoughtful. And the food... simply draw dropping to look at and with incredible flavors that bring out the best in the underlying ingredients. Singlethread is clearly at the top of the game and is one of the rare destination restaurants where instead of checking it off our list, we are circling it because we want to come back.“

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

“My family and I have been to Folia a number of times now since it opened last year, and this review is truly overdue. Each time was an excellent experience, and most recently on Friday 8/28 and Saturday 8/29/2026, we knew we had missed Folia very much given we live over 4 hours away in Paso Roble now. Our server Leyla (lunch on 8/28 and breakfast 8/29) was simply outstanding!! She is so attentive and can almost read our minds💕The food needless to say is deliciously appropriate for special occasions although we would eat here even without anything special to celebrate! Can't wait to return to Folia!“

“I went to Acorn Cafe expecting a nice, responsible lunch. I left in a food coma, questioning every healthy choice I’ve ever made, and honestly? Zero regrets.
The place has serious range — breakfast, brunch, lunch, indoor seating, outdoor seating with an actual fireplace (fancy), and a friendly & professional staff.
I ordered the fried chicken sandwich against my better judgment — I usually treat deep-fried anything like a suspicious email attachment — and it was a full personality shift. Absolutely delicious. It came with homemade togarashi potato chips, which is not a combination I asked for but is one I will now demand for the rest of my life.
My dining companion got the breakfast burger, which somehow contains an egg AND hash browns INSIDE the burger, like the chef looked at breakfast and lunch and said “why not both, simultaneously, in your hand.” Perfection. Structurally impressive. Emotionally overwhelming.
The turkey clubhouse club also showed up and showed out — and bonus, some proceeds go to the local Boys & Girls Club, so you can feel slightly virtuous while inhaling bacon.

Verdict: We’re going back. We have breakfast entrees left to conquer, and frankly, I think Acorn Cafe has earned the right to ruin more of my meals.“

“Incredibly fresh raw oysters. The view is amazing. The wait staff is kind & attentive. The manager really cares about his customers. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“As a vegetarian, I am always in search of a house made a veggie burger. This one was tasty a little spicy, but a little thin on the patty. Maybe they’re going for the Smashburger vibe, but the bun to burger ratio on this veggie patty was a bit off.

Still good, but the chocolate chip cookies were even better!“

“Food was great and service was fast! Very friendly staff!!“

“Healdsburg, worst kept secret. Best BBQ place in plain sight! It gets very busy over the weekends, but the table is always available without the wait. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Excellent service.“
