A truly delightful restaurant with interesting and flavorful menu choices that change regularly, complimented by a nice wine list. Very interesting choices served in perfectly fine portions rather than mounds of food that allows one to enjoy the flavors and order several "small plate" choices to compliment the meal. Very warm and friendly staff who really connect with the diner and the dining experience without overwhelming. Sometimes a bit busy when Healdsburg has a big event weekend, but always worth the visit. And the desserts are just delightful with authentic "homemade" tastes while being very appropriate for the restaurant and a fine end to the meal.
I would give maybe a two-star rating to this restaurant. I went there with my husband and found a bare-bones restaurant that was expensive. The staff seems disorganized and not a team. We waited twenty minutes for the main course. The food was fair and small portions. It lacked flavor.
We live in town and eat here whenever we can get a babysitter. They cater to large groups or intimate dinners very well. They always have something fun and exotic while something less adventurous, to fit every palette. The chicken is amazing, and I never thought I would say that about chicken. Love their flatbreads and fries. Wonderful wine list.
