This place is such a gem and the food is affordable and delicious! I was so happy that we were able to enjoy it during our visit to Sonoma County. 2 people we knew had recommended the Willi's Seafood to us, plus one random person we met on a kayak adventure down the Russian River. The next time we are out here, this restaurant will be one of the first places we visit.

Nice place that was recommended to us by local guide. Small plates are great and you can try several things. Fish tacos were great, bacon wrapped scallops were awesome as well.

Everything from the bread to the fresh seafood platter, which we could customize, to the BBQ'd bacon wrapped scallops, were all delicious! Our server was amazing, attentive, knowledgeable and super helpful. Great experience for our party of 5!

Marciano and Efrin were our chefs. We sat at the seafood bar and watched experts perpare exquisite dishes before our eyes. While the prep was amazing the food was outstanding! Definitely a do over.
Excellent food (oysters especially), friendly and attentive service, and great drinks. We just left a "meh" review for your Bravas Bar de Tapas, which we went to the night before and were disappointed in on account of the very slow and unconcerned-seeming service (food was great though). We were hesitant to go to another restaurant owned by the same group but thought we'd give it another chance. We're glad we did: outstanding food and our server was extremely attentive and professional. Would recommend and hope we make it back!

Amazing seafood cooked to perfection! Octopus, scallops, Ahi and on and on.
We have a 10 to 20 minute rule. If busy 20 but at 4:45 on a Saturday and we got seated at the bar with zero acknowledgment that we were there for 15 we had to leave.

Ate outside. The lobster roll/bun was amazing! We ordered plates to share. Had a pinot noir rose...1st time was very nice!
Willi's is hands down the best restaurant in Healdsburg. Wonderful creative food, comfortable quiet seating. Waiters/waitresses are always helpful and attentive. Small but great wine selection. Could not recommend it more highly.
As always. Excellent food and service. It's a little louder than I remembered. As I age it's harder to hear table conversation when the restaurant is loud. But the food is worth a little noise. I've never had a bad experience at one of Stark's restaurants. We retired in Vegas but when we come back to Sonoma County we always go to one of their restaurants. I wish we could take them to Vegas.

This used to be a delightful spot for dinner and a seat at the raw bar. Now that has all changed for the worse. Service is spotty at best. Chefs at the raw bar are stiffs who barely acknowledge your presence and do not engage. The food prep has also declined with everything from calamari to cerviche tainted with sweet ingredients that are way out of place. And in the case of calamari a bit ridiculous. Once was good but now that's gone.

The best bacon wrapped scallop! Definitely high end seafood for reasonable prices.

I love this place. It was our first time and Kelly Kell was our server who made our experience so enjoyable. Food was yumm and service was excellent. Everyone working there is so happy and it reflects in their service. I highly recommend it ?

You cannot find an average dish at Willi's Seafood & Raw Bar. Everything is delicious. It's fresh, flavorful and healthy. The Duncan's miraculous mushroom dish with garlic confit and a special honey was mind-blowing. The kale caesar is perfection. The kale is sliced very thin and the dressing is not too heavy, not too light. We had the ahi and it was so flavorful. The clams bathed in beer broth were good also. Just go and order dish after dish and share.
