Restaurants in Healdsburg

“Wonderful experience overall. We went it in for lunch during the holidays; 2 vegetarians, one pescatarian and one everything. All of us were mightily pleased with the food, ambiance and service. The wine selection is phenomenal to supplement any food served.”

“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.”

“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 !?!?”

“Perfect Anniversary dinner! The bolognese was amazing! loved the fresh peach buratta appetizer.”

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

“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!”

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

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Always a pleasure to visit Smith Story at the Bachus Landing in gorgeous west Healdsburg. The wines are delicious, well priced, and the ambience is clean, cozy and welcoming inside and out!”

“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 beautiful winery I do wine tours and have visited many times and clients love Bella”

“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!”

“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!”

“Absolutely amazing experience all around. The wines were great, Tony was personable, the cheese pairing was phenomenal. Everything we had we liked and could not rate it higher. Definitely recommend to anyone.”

“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!”

“Fun time. Awesome grounds too.”

“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!”

“Interesting tease, and very many delicacies”

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

“Great creative pizza types!! Order and then get it delivered so you can enjoy the best pizza around. Check out that menu!!”

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

“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.”

“I love to go in at 4:30 pm when it's quiet and have a snack. I order dinner to go and enjoy my alone time with my hot, crispy tempura. Servers are getting ready for dinner service, and the world feels right.”

“We had a wonderful experience here. The taster was very knowledgeable and friendly, we had a great conversation about food. The wine was excellent. I was able to ask a lot of questions, and see maps of where the grapes were grown while we were tasting.”

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

“Absolutely love this winery nestled in Healdburg! The wine is delicious and the customer service is friendly and not pushy. Definitely has a family fun feel to it and is a great place to take family when they come in from out of town!”

“Best tasting room in Healdsburg. The variety of wine offerings can satisfy any palate! It is a sophisticated wine collection with a polished professional staff at the tasting room. Kirsten, Sam and Kat are outstanding in every way. They are knowledgeable about the wines and could not be more gracious. Aloha Omega Healdsburg is our go to for a consistent great tasting! Cheers!”

“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.”

“Great wines and good prices. Small indoor cellar bunker type tasting room, but tons of outdoor seating and 2 bocce ball courts (with instructions). Creek access for kids, and complimentary popcorn topped with estate olive oil. Thanks for hosting us!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Such a relaxing environment and amazing wines”

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!”

“Digg pizza anbefales på det sterkeste”

“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!”

“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.”

“Really beautiful view and great wines. The winemaker sat with us and walked us through all the different wines, as well as some fun history and insights. Also great to have a big black lab as company!”

“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 💯”

“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!”

“Awesome staff friendly great store”

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

“Great wines. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.”

“Beautiful tasting room and great selection of wines. They have a good variety for Cab and Pinot drinkers. Nice pace of the tasting and great host. Would recommend.”

“Great place I come here 1x a week .Mom and daughter are so friendly that own the place .Spring rolls with peanut sauce is so good .Pineapple rice is amazing and so are the drinking noodles .Love this place !!! 10 stars if I could ✨️ 💛”

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

“Their Breakfast sandwich was to die for Yum and ruegela cookies awesome”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“We were here on a Thursday evening several weeks ago, and enjoyed Terri and Mark's latest (?) addition to the Healdsburg dining scene. The tapas here are creative, and equal to any that we had enjoyed in Madrid just a few weeks before this visit. No gloppy spuds with melted cheese passed off as patatas bravas. These are 21st century Spanish tapas of the highest sort.
My only criticism is the service. Between a waiter (server), backwaiter, bus boy, bar server, and so on, nobody was really taking responsibility for our table. We also had to wait quite a while to be noticed at the front door. (We had a reservation through Open Table.).
That said, I'm eager to return. The ambiance is warm, reflecting all of the little touches found in a Stark eatery. Give it a try!”

“It was fantastic! We enjoyed everything and our server was so nice. It was a great way to spend a Saturday evening and I would highly recommend this restaurant.”

“My husband surprised me yesterday for our one year anniversary ? I'll admit the moment I saw how insanely fancy it was I was hit with a worry in regards to the menu due to the fact I'm extremely picky eater.
My jaw dropped at how stunning the restaurent was. He lead me to the stairs and I was shocked to see how high we kept going and realized they had seating on the rooftop which I have never seen before. I absolutely loved the decorations and the seats were very comfortable!! We were greeted by this lovely waitress and we were wished happy anniversary by many of the staff it really made it special! The menu itself was on the small side. We tried the cheese charcuterie. I could guess 2 if 3 cheeses. Kinda wish they wrote down what they where so I knew what to look for if I wanted to buy the cheese while grocery shopping . The bread was so yummy! We shared margaritas pizza and it was very nice! He had alcoholic drinks and I tried the non alcoholic. Which I'll admit...for me personally they tasted aweful lol I'll never get that weird German drink ever again lol not even he liked it haha I was confused at what a modern ceasar salad was so I ordered it. Was even more confused when it arrived. Turns out, it was freaking amazing...to the point, when I return, I will order two of these lol honey got the steak and he was pleased with it . For desert we ordered the chocolate pané and it was like a dark chocolate fudge?? With this incredibly yummy cookie dust?? I honestly would be happy with a tiny bowl of that crumble lol with the pizza, salad, cheese plate,steak , deserts and a few drinks our bill was around 220. On the expensive side I'll admit but the atmosphere and the taste was worth it(minus the non alcoholic drinks lol) I also found it funny how one of the waiter took my utensils lol I guess he thought we were done and tried to empty the table lol I had to snag a pair of utensils from a table that didn't use theirs lol we got there around 545 and stayed till 8 ish and the sunset was so beautiful ♡ it was a really nice experience. I was spoiled that day♡ I love my husband so much and I'm happy he chose this place for our anniversary ♡”

“Food and service was excellent!”

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

“Wednesday is fried chicken night. Due to a mis-print on the menu we were upgraded to the crab cake. It was EXCELLENT.

The beet salad was the star of the night. Fresh, large portion, killer flavors.

Service here was the best. Quick and attentive.

I had there version of an old fashion and it was nice. The spicy margarita was bomb.

The fried chicken was good, not great. A little over cooked.”

“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.”

“Amazing customer service , they go above and beyond”

“This is the third year I have been gifted 2 loaves of your cinnamon walnut bread. And this is the third year that it has been absolutely fabulous. Thank you all for making this special treat.”

“one of the best pizzas I've ever had”

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

“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.”

“Agave Mexican Restaurant has the best, most delicious dishes north of Marin. Delicious authentic homemade Mexican dishes. The best Mole sauce with almonds, herbs, chocolates, the best Mole sauce in the United States of America.”

“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!”

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