Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Healdsburg

We love going to the Matheson! The food is always imaginative and delicious. It ain't cheap, but I think you get what you pay for. We had a prix fixe menu and the portions were generous and there were more courses than we would have expected. We went home stuffed and satisfied! Our server Zadie was the best - very personable, knowledgable and attentive.

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.

We were greeted warmly at the door for our 5pm reservation and allowed to select out table. We sat at the booth on the left - very cozy. We had the foie gras and scallops appetizers- both were wonderful. For dinner my husband had the special beef bourguignon which was flavorful and tender. I had the special lobster pasta which could have had more lobster but what I had was very good. We will be returning!

As lovers of high-end dining, we can confidently say that our experience at SingleThread was nothing short of extraordinary. From the impeccable service to the stunning presentation and the flawless execution of every dish, this was truly a level of excellence we had never encountered before. Every detail was meticulously curated, making for an unforgettable evening. SingleThread is not just a restaurant—it’s a masterpiece in hospitality and culinary artistry.

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!
