We had one of our better dining experiences recently at Valette. This place is getting great writeups from major reviewers. Get the Scallops!
Sonoma County and Healdsburg is the mecca for Farm to Table dining and Chalkboard is one of the top spots to it. They have a great patio if you make reservations well ahead of time.
Great Italian, reasonable prices, good atmosphere- call far in advance for reservations
Nice atmosphere & good food! Call ahead to make reservations
Very solid place, smaller portions- great cocktails, good atmosphere- good spot for after dinner drink
BBQ smokehouse opened in 2015. Counter service, nice bar area, and spacious. The food is stick-to-your-bones good.
Lunch Spot- New Orleans/Cajun Po-Boy- Fried shrimp/catfish/pickles- worth the calories
Great fries & Bloody Mary’s- good outdoor atmosphere
Pizza & Italian food- Scopa’s sister restaurant- Bocce ball court in the back
No, this is not the same famed Taqueria found in the Mission District in SF. But, it does still hold itself as a place to visit if you want some Mexican food. They specialize in Oaxcan dishes. Christina really likes the fish tacos and I like their Mole dishes. Super burritos with shrimp or carnitas are great.
Range of breakfast & lunch options, have never been disappointed here. Plan to wait on the weekends during peak times.
In addition to daily pastry options such as the sticky buns, a small breakfast menu including pancakes, omelets, and other specialties is available on the weekends.
New Orleans style cuisine featuring things such as the breakfast Po-Boy, Crawfish & Andouille Omelet, & Banana's Foster.
Seasonal pie menu (such as Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake & Salted Caramel Mississippi Mud Pie), Ice Cream (Corn Flake Crown Maple & Japanese Purple Yam), & Stumptown Coffee from Portland.
We can't put moustache on here & not mention the gourmet cupcakes. Favorites include the Farmer & the Miller. Try the Butcher for something different- spicy Bacon meets cupcake!
Jim, a long time Healdsburg resident, told us about this place. Rumor has it that Julia Child used to have her driver come up from southern California & load up the car with the sticky buns to take home. This was enough to get us in the door to check it out, and the sticky buns are now a coveted morning treat with coffee.
Laid back sausage place that has delicious creamy vanilla & chocolate custard.
Pour over Four Barrel Coffee, fresh beans as well- don't forget to ask for your free sweet treat or drip coffee with the purchase of 12 ounces of beans!
Pour over Coffee, fresh beans to go.
You know the drill.
High end grocery store similar to Whole Foods. Favorite spot to grab sandwiches to take tasting (call ahead- it can take a bit to make them!), cheese (black label Cambozola is a favorite) & meats to stay in & cook or grill out (pork tenderloin & specialty sausages are favorites of ours).
Popular spot to grab sandwiches to take tasting (call ahead as it can take awhile!) & cheeses. Not a full grocery store, more of a grab & go type spot. Some outdoor seating (picnic tables) & a small old bar perfect for a beer when you are wined out.
Safeway (1.9 miles)- Basic large grocery store, does have a good selection of local wine & products.
Indoor & outdoor tasting- This is some of our favorite wine. They have great zins and a famous Cab. Ridge was one of the wineries that participated in the 1976 Paris tasting that put California wines on the map.
(Indoor & outdoor tasting- picnic tables to bring lunch or snacks, superb value for great wine)
The spot for Pinot Noir. Nothing too fancy but just great Pinot.
(Indoor & outdoor tasting- picnic tables to bring lunch or snacks, great wine, good views)
(Indoor & outdoor tasting, cave tour, great atmosphere, fun place)
