Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Healdsburg

I was here 4 years ago and am happy to say the food is as delicious as I remembered. Great menu & beautifully prepared. And excellent service while still being very down to earth & friendly.

Get the special, whatever it is. And the shaved ice.

This is my favorite restaurant and we went to celebrate my birthday/Valentine’s Day. It did not disappoint and we found some new favorites. We always love the quiche and salad. Although they didn’t have my favorite chocolate ice cream, we loved the coffee ice cream, made with oat milk and raw sugar. Since no chocolate in that dish, we also requested a box of house-made chocolates and they were exquisite! I also ordered a cappuccino with the house-made macadamia/almond milk and this was one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to go back.

I ordered the braised short ribs & polenta and my husband had the sole filet and we shared the most delicious salad and chocolate mouse dessert - everything was fantastic, plus we were given the sweetheart table, which was delightful. The owners, Shari & Lisbeth are wonderful making you feel comfortable and welcomed!

Last year & this, our experience @ Dry Creek Kitchen was the highlight of our trip to Healdsburg (& the wine, of course). The ambiance is lovely, Chris and the whole staff are beyond compare, the corkage policy is extremely reasonable (especially if you bring a Sonoma wine!), not that one needs to bring wine, & the menu is flawlessly executed/everything is delicious — love that the $75 3-course dinner is not prix fixe. Rather, you get to choose from bountiful options in all 3 categories. And, if you’re like us, you have to add a canapé of crispy pork belly bites on biscuits w/maple glaze. Can’t wait until our return next year!
