    Went for a valentines day date. The food and wine pairing was good, but not as good as we expected for the price. Service was a little slow and the food showed up cold. The restaurant didn’t seem terribly full or busy. I would give this another try on a normal (non holiday) night and see if its a better value

    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!

    I wouldn't recommended! Overpriced average food. I can eat better at a Deli. The place is poorly lighted and without background music, makes the ambiance a little depressing actually. Service was average too. Go somewhere else!

    Actually got to meet head chef/owner Dustin Valette last night when we personally thanked him for his donation to our upcoming Make a Wish auction. He and Aaron Garzini believe in giving back to their community in addition to running the finest restaurant in Healdsburg. We enjoyed chorizo with mussels, pork loin chop, lobster pasta and “not a snickers” dessert bar. Excellent! When my water glass slipped through my fingers, the manager and server flew to the table to check for broken glass and clean up. They took my scarf and jacket outside to shake out in case there were tiny shards left. I felt terrible, but then they brought new hot rolls and basil butter to comfort me. We have leftovers we can’t wait to finish! Valette did it again, a marvelous experience!
