Food scene
When we have foodie friends visiting from out of town, this is where we go. It’s a lovely dining room, with great acoustics, a wonderfully inventive and delicious menu, and friendly not fussy service. If you are looking for a special meal and evening, we highly recommend Valette. The two brothers who opened Valette are locals with a long history in town; they know all the best purveyors in the area! http://www.valettehealdsburg.com/ Here are a few words from their website:
“Valette was born from two brothers’ lifelong dream of creating a unique dining experience in our hometown of Healdsburg. Our goal is to provide a canvas for local farmers, winemakers and artisans to showcase their crafts.”

This is a great place to go with a group… or by yourself (you can sit at the bar!) First of all, the menu really does have something for everyone. And the bar is a great place to watch whatever’s on, have a draft beer or glass of wine, and chow down on one of their signature hamburgers. Maybe with truffle fries. My husband loves the burger and claims that when tomatoes are in season their BLTs are killer. I wouldn’t know because I’ve never had anything there other than the Grilled Sesame Seed Crusted Salmon Pita with Asian Slaw, Pickled Ginger, Wasabi Aioli, and Daikon Sprouts. Nuff said.

It would be a mistake to think of this as just a pizzeria (although the pizzas are fantastic; truly the best around.) The entrée specials are just that… special, the pasta dishes are house made, the salads scrumptious, and everything is fresh and local. Did I mention the wine? Here’s what Chef Dino says about Diavola:
“Set in an historic landmark dating back to the 1900’s, Diavola celebrates the seasons of California with an Italian state of mind. Our rustic, daily changing menu features carefully sourced meats, fish and produce from local farms, ranches & fisheries guided by principles of sustainability.”
It’s all that and more. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. They don’t take reservations, so get there early if you can. And if not, no worries, have a glass of wine while you wait. If the weather is at all decent, ask for a table out back. It’s pure magic – especially in the evening. Geyserville is just up 10 minutes North on Hwy 101. It’s a beautiful drive and downtown Geyserville (if it can be called such a thing) is a trip. http://www.diavolapizzeria.com

As long as we’re talking Geyserville, you have to check out the Gun Club – another creation from the talented folks at Diavola. This is not just a bar in the same way that Diavola is not just a pizzeria; stylish, sophisticated but still laid back and quirky – you won’t go wrong to stop in for a beer, fancy cocktail or glass of wine before dinner next door at Diavola … or just make the Gun Club your food destination too as their bar bites range from Ahi tuna crudo, to beef tartare, to their sophisticated take on chicken wings and frites. Super fun time. www.geyservillegunclub.com

You wouldn’t know it from the outside, but right on Healdsburg Ave in the middle of everything is one of the best outdoor patios in town. Looking in the window from the main street, it looks like a nice cozy restaurant… but out back it’s festive party lights, large and small tables and a full bar … complete with bocce ball court and outdoor pizza oven. Ask for a table outside, and if there’s none available, we suggest you wait at the bar, and if that seems like too much after a long day… well then just take a table inside -- or eat at the bar.
The food and service are both first rate.
Chef Ari whips up an eclectic menu with outstanding veggie dishes and salads as well as wood fired oven pizzas, steaks, pastas, chicken… plus super fresh seafood – all in a fun and lively atmosphere. Go! Highly recommended. http://campofina.com/

When we are in the mood for a “fancier” place for dinner, where the food is delicious, the service superior, and the décor and lighting makes everyone look and feel stylish, Barn Diva is the spot.
A restaurant, cocktail lounge and wine bar all in one, Barn Diva is the place that Travel and Leisure Magazine calls, “Light flooded and tranquil by day, Barndiva roars to life at night when locals and in the know visitors descend on the big red barn for late-night meals, creative cocktails, and the hippest scene in town.”
Reservations are a must any day of the week at Barndiva.
There's also a cool bar next door at the Barndiva Studio... (sometimes booked for private events.. but otherwise open) http://www.barndiva.com/dine/

This is a super convivial and fun place for a group, large or small. The food is fantastic, the presentation beautiful and the service is outstanding. Best of all, it is not ridiculously pricey! There are at least 20 sherries, a zillion gins, a boatload of delicious tapas to choose from and a fantastic patio out back. If you are in town anytime between March and October you HAVE to check out the back patio if only for a drink and a small bite.
It’s magic. http://www.starkrestaurants.com/stark-restaurant/bravas-bar-de-tapas/

The best breakfast in Healdsburg offering New Orleans style Cajun and Creole deliciousness. They do a mean lunch too... but it’s our go-to breakfast favorite. With beignets, shrimp and grits, breakfast Po-Boys and more traditional fare, it’s a no-brainer.
Plus, a nice outdoor patio and charming space. https://theparishcafe.com/

Best sushi in town. Real crab in their rolls. Fantastic bento boxes. Small space, but also excellent takeway option if you are looking to "eat in." We've been waiting for good sushi in Healdsburg for a while now... this is it. http://asahisushiandkitchen.com/

Not only awesome tea service, but also great Japanese food options. Their menu includes Ramen, Yaki Soba Noodles, Tonkatsu Pork, Chirashi Sushi Bowls, Japanese Curry and Salmon Ochazuke and they are open for lunch and dinner every day except Tuesday and Wednesday.
Executive Chef Nozomu “Nez” Tokugawa born in Japan, developed his passion to nourish people at a young age. Family and travel resulted in the authentic Japanese Food served at The Taste of Tea, bringing the Taste of Japan to Healdsburg.
And a special bonus – The Taste of Tea is also a spa! So if you’ve been walking all day or would just like a relaxing treat consider slipping into a green tea foot soak in the relaxation spa lounge, and enrich your Japanese experience while here. http://thetasteoftea.com/

Chalkboard is both upscale fine-dining and still a super fun place to go with a group. The small plates are made for sharing and are both delicious and creative. This is also a great option if you have vegetarians in your group as there are lots of yummy choices to choose from. The outdoor patio in the back is a particularly lovely setting for brunch or lunch – and the room inside is stylish and plush. They also have a full bar and a wine list that features a nice selection of wines by the glass.
And, check out the wonderful happy hour Sunday-Friday from 4:30-6:30pm – Chef McAnelly creates a special happy hour menu of theme inspired nibbles, changing it up every 6 weeks or so.

Guiso is a "jewel box of a restaurant" -- open since 2015 and getting more popular each year .. It's a small space, only a handful of tables, but its mix of Caribbean and Salvadorian cuisine offers great fish, vegetarian and meat options. This is elevated food, and v. delicious. OpenTable named it one of their top 100 Restaurants in America in 2019.

HOW TO GET HERE
The Modern Barn is up a private road that your GPS won't likely recognize. It's not hard to find -- just off Dry Creek Road (towards the beginning of Dry Creek Rd.) -- but when you book with us this Guidebook will present IMPORTANT directions and GATE CODES for the two gates on the PRIVATE ROAD.
