Healdsburg has many amazing restaurants,
impossible to list them all.
You really can't go wrong.

However, here are our top 10:

For Dinner:

Dry Creek Kitchen

Our top choice for dinner in Healdsburg. What a lovely experience. Yes, it has been around for while and it has had it's ups and downs, but right now this spot right across from the Plaza and owned by Charlie Palmer continues to smoke it. They do a 3-course for $83/person and it always delivers. The dining room is beautiful and the service top notch. Another bonus: if you bring a Sonoma wine, they waive corkage. Also, go on Thursdays and they do a $55 3-course neighbors special (but available to anyone). Love this place.

Valette

Right in town and a lovely dining experience. Dustin Vallette is the local dining rockstar (but still incredibly down to earth). He has been working in various kitchens around Healdsburg his entire life so this restaurant is a dream come true for him (and his brother). You will usually see Dustin creating magic and bring his passion to life in the restaurant's open kitchen. If you go, don't miss the Day Boat Scallops en Croute.

Cyrus

Healdsburg has many expensive, fancy restaurants. No shortage here. However, if you have to pick one, our current reco is for Cyrus. Located just 5 minutes from the house in Geyserville, this dinner is truly a journey, an experience. You do not sit at a table for 4 hours. Instead you travel through the dinner. First the Bubbles Lounge for cocktails and tastes. Then on to the kitchen for an intimate, very personal dining experience with Doug Keane, owner and chef. Then on to the main dining room with fantastic views of vineyards and your main courses. And then finally through the Chocolate Room for a last treat and parting gift. Very fun!

Sushi By Scratch

The amazing (but quite expensive) sushi place.  A very fun and tasty experience.  16 individual bites all served at a bar seating more than 10 people with a great sake pairing.  When we go, it runs in total about $600/person but it will be some of the best sushi you will ever have.

Sakeo

OK, if you don't want to mortgage your home for sushi at Sushi By Scratch, this is our "go-to" for weekly sushi. The amount of fish on the sushi is very generous (and delicious). They are famous for their martini prawns and carburetor roll. The building and ambiance are fine, nothing special. And it is off the Plaza by a few blocks, right next to the Goodwill (don’t let this scare you). They are our little hidden secret in Healdsburg. We often take out from there, so real easy to pick up a big order and take it back to the house.

Starks Steak House

OK, yes not in Healdsburg, but close by in Santa Rosa. We love this place. The steaks and sides are just beautiful (and well priced compared to Goodnights in town). Don't miss the calamari, onion rings and sticky rice. Lovely atmosphere and great bar. If you are up for a little adventure, do not pass this place up.

Catelli's

A great Italian in Geyserville (only a 5 minute drive from the house). Family-owned and locally very loved. Also has some celebrity cred as Gaga has dined here. Great bar and amazing, huge outdoor space. Don't miss their homemade, signature 10-layer lasagna - yum!

Pizzando

Pizzando is an amazing Italian restaurant serving a variety of pizzas, pastas, and other specialty items. Our favorites are the Broccolini pizza, the caesar salad, and the fries + brussel sprouts are amazing. Sitting on the outdoor patio is great, as you're right across the Plaza and in the middle of the bustle of town. You also can’t go without getting the Straus chocolate and vanilla soft serve!

Gallina D'Oro

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in town. Located just off the plaza with a cute outdoor patio seating area. Everything on the menu is amazing, and the free chips + salsa are great. Also, amazing guac and oh those margaritas. It’s so easy to order to-go, and really fast, which we do often.

We also have some great markets if you are looking to cook at the house.

And if you want someone else to do the cooking at the house, we have some great personal chef recommendations:

And sometimes you just want to have something delivered. 

And let's not forget, Healdsburg has some great places if you just want to grab a cocktail.
