Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Windsor

Every dish was fantastic and the remodel is beautiful and they really worked on the noise levels issue. Now it’s a non issue.

Excellent food, generous portions, outstanding service. We look forward to lunch here every time we come to Santa Rosa.

I found the value for what you get is outstanding. From the ambiance to the service. The food was great from beginning to end. I felt very welcomed. I did the chefs tasting menu, which included 5 dishes. Some took me out of my comfort zone, but I was not mad about it. The chef pulled off dishes that I would’ve usually dismissed like the raw starter. Would definitely comeback, absolutely a great place for a date.

This is an exceptional destination for dinner in restaurant-laden Healdsburg. Comfortably presented in what used to be a small house with a nicely landscaped back yard, the environment is much less chaotic than a commercial restaurant space. The menu and wine list are extensive, with a range of choices to please all tastes. We enjoyed an all-tapas meal, including bacalao cigarillos (outstanding), crispy chicken thighs, sauteed spinach, chorizo & shishito peppers, and las patatas bravas. We had a nice, steely, refreshing Spanish white wine, El Coto, which complemented all dishes. The sauces kicked each of the dishes up a notch, with romesco and romesco aioli mayonnaise being most memorable. We were attended by what seemed like a horde of staff, rather than a particular server, but all were very enthusiastic and moved with blurry speed. We were STUFFED by the five tapas we ordered, so we did not even consider dessert, but the coffee we ordered sticks out as the best we've had in recent experience: it is served in a metal French press, with a uniform grind that is sized to be effectively filtered out by a very fine mesh screen in the press (no grounds or fines make it into the coffee). I don't know the brand of coffee, but it was very rich and smooth, without bitterness or acidity. So different from the coffee I make for myself that I feel like I'm obliged to rave about it. Even the furniture of this place was memorable. If you are visiting Healdsburg you must try Bravas.

I always eat out on Christmas Day as I am usually a single diner. I normally don't go in for buffets, but this Cristmas there were very few options, so I decided to take a chance here. The first thing I noticed is that the restaurant was much nicer than was pictured in their post. I've been a cook and know that hot buffets are not easy to maintain without overcooking the food. I was pleasantly surprised; everything was perfect. There was a good selection of food and I was happy with them. The charred Brussles sprouts were especially good and the roast beef was RARE, like I like it. Great service. I am VERY HAPPY with my Christmas Day dinner.
