Best Casual Restaurants in Healdsburg

Great tasting foods. Portions are light so you may want an appetizer and/or salad in addition to the meal. Everything was really tasty and cooked perfectly. I’ve been in louder restaurants for sure but I would’ve preferred a little more quiet so that conversations at the table could be held without significant raising of the voice.

This was our 4th time here and it was an amazing meal, as always! The highlights were the crispy crab tacos, the lobster roll, the warm spinach salad, and the clam chowder. Despite how full we were, we had to get the banana bread pudding and it was spectacular! McKenzie provided excellent service. We come from the East Bay to celebrate special occasions here and it is always worth the 1.5 hour drive!!

Brunch was devine! Eggs Benedict with extra hollandaise and chicken and waffles are second to none. Beautiful and comfortable patio. Service was outstanding! Will absolutely be back to try more drinks and dishes.

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

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!
