The 18 Best Restaurants & Hotels In Healdsburg

"Willi’s is a casual spot in downtown Healdsburg that’s always busy around lunchtime, bringing together Latin flavors and New England-style seafood in a way that just works. Oysters are the name of the game here: try them barbecued in the traditional Tomales Bay-style, or opt for a variety of raw oysters from near and far. For your entrée, grab a New England-style lobster or crab roll, or try their selection of ceviches, crudos, and seafood tacos. And if it’s Dungeness season, don’t miss the crab cakes." - allison green

This place delighted the taste buds! Excellent crab cake, fish tacos, tender hanger steak, bacon scallops. One of the best desserts I ever had tres leche cake, pineapple, and pecan.

The service was very friendly. I liked the seating in a booth in the back. It felt nice and private. The best thing we had was the calamari. Fried and lightly sauced so it kept the crisp texture. The sourdough was a bit tough and not as sour as I’d hope. The salad was a bit different but I would not opt for a warm bacon dressing in the future. Oysters and fries were okay. I really liked the texture of the octopus in the tacos. Clam bits were on the small side for me.

Went here on a weekday lunch, no wait, got seated right away. Plenty of street parking. We were seated outside, seats were somehow comfortable, shaded and has heater. Most of the food we ordered were good for sharing, fish taco is good!

We have gone here many times and we always enjoy the food. It's in downtown Healdsburg, which is a charming area to go shopping, go to wine tasting rooms, etc. Today we ordered the sauteed spinach to share and I got the fish tacos and my husband order steak. We love how flavorful and tasty the food is. The service is always excellent as well! You have the option of dining indoors or outdoors. We chosse to eat inside this time, although have eaten outside before and really enjoyed that as well. They have heaters set up if you want to dine outdoors and stay warm.

Willi's had NO SOURDOUGH BREAD!! How do you run out of a main staple, like basic bread?? Waitress was unattentive. Main dishes were late, by at least 45 minutes and more. Many customers arriving after us were often being served. Couple near us received 3 dishes to our one salad. Hanger steak was very late, and almost cold, likely sitting quite long after being ready to serve. Scallops came even later, and almost cold.... and who puts BBQ sauce on mild tasting sea scallops?? Lemon Stupid!! Overall, attention, quality and service was very poor compared to our prior times at Willi's in Healdsburg.

Almost everything about this place is amazing, I don't remember the last time I looked at a menu and wanted to have everything on it! We ordered several things on the menu as a party of four and shared them all. It's very tapas of style. We ordered a few things on the raw menu such as the tuna, the ceviche and the tartar - all were on point. We also had this goat cheese dip with black beans served with Fritos. It was delicious and flavorful. The calamari is perfectly proportioned to be bite-size pieces, excellent texture and coating. With this sort of menu, the server should be coming back and checking on you regularly. This is where I felt it was lacking. We rarely saw our server so I would recommend if you want to keep people there and keep them happy. be sure to be attentive. We were not asked if we wanted a second drink or wanted to order more for example. Nice and friendly but not attentive.

For one, the place is inviting with friendly staff. Seating can be at open tables or in quaint booths for 4. All this is GREAT. Say, bathroom could be cleaner - especially for a fancy place. The rubbish bins inside the he/she restroom were overfilled with some tissues on the floor. For that, they lose a Star. Caramelized Brussel Sprouts could have been more Caramelized but overall the flavor profile was excellent - nice balance of spice, apple and blue cheese. Miyagi and Kumamoto local oysters were sweet. Hanger steak skewers and Lamb Skewers were juicy and well presented. Tuna Ceviche with Sriracha mayo was a bit underwhelming in flavor profile as compared with traditional type in my view. Crispy Pork Belly street tacos were beautifully presented and slightly sweet, sweet cut with cilantro and cucumber.

Food: 4/5 Ordered the crab cake to go. The meat tasted fresh, perfect amount of seasoning and breading. Did not taste greasy or chewy. The sauce that comes with it is delicious, and perfect amount of vinegar/tang from the topping. Service: Ordered to pick up, took about 15 min. Ambiance: Ordered to pick up but seemed lively, lots of seating.

Went on a Monday afternoon around 3:30pm wasn't too crowded. The food and drinks were great. My favorites were the pineapple drop cocktail and the seared Ahi tuna. I like that the location of the restaurant is right off the square in Healdsburg so you're able to walk around after and shop. We did ask for bottled water three separate times and never received it but the overall service was great. I also like that this restaurant is dog friendly in the patio area and it's a good mix of casual and upscale, you can come here for really any occasion. We'll definitely be back to try some more items on the menu.

This place is a definite must try in downtown healdsburg! We went for our anniversary recently and they went above and beyond. The customer service was friendly, fast and memorable. This place has an awesome relaxed vibe. The food was AWESOME! The oysters were fresh and not chewy or hard at all and no shell in my mouth. The ahi was delicious. The pork belly tacos were very good. My husband LOVES mushrooms so that big bowl of mushrooms were perfect for him. I don't like mushrooms and I even thought they were good. The ginger snap pudding was great and an awesome way to end the night. Thanks for a great experience!

We were in Windsor for a few days. Spent Saturday in Healdsburg shopping and enjoying the many art galleries and antique shops. Stopped in Willis for lunch. This is now on our must stop list for Healdsburg. It's a tapas restaurant so we tried a number of items that were delicious. The octopus tacos are a must have. Raw var had a great selection of oysters. The drinks were good and strong so we stuck with one a piece. We will be back again.

We sat at the bar and ordered oysters and mushrooms with light butter. Our waiter is sweet and patient with my special needs and he brought me a gluten free menu. We were lucky to get a seat here and the food is solid!!

Lucious lobster, the freshest opulent oysters, and creamy, dreamy clam chowder with savory crackers! These delicious small plates and more keep me returning to Willi's Seafood and Raw Bar whenever I am in the Sonoma wine country! In the mood for some unique and mouth-watering food, spectacular ambiance, and over the top customer service? This is the ticket! Located just off the popular Healdsburg plaza, Willi's is a well-known restaurant frequented by locals and tourists alike. All are vying for an outside table or an intimate seat inside to relax, embibe, and share in a top-notch culinary experience with all the "trimmings"... beautiful environment and service befitting royalty. The food is the star and pinnacle of the show! The menu is complete with so many interesting items. All made for sharing. Whether you are with a group or fewer, it is so much fun to select a dish always created in the most amazing and innovative style with the highest quality of seasonal ingredients. That has always been my experience at Willi's. The clam chowder and Kumamoto oysters are ALWAYS two items I must have. And a glass (or two:) of the Shramsberg sparkling wine!!! Then, depending upon my mood, other dishes will be selected. You can not go wrong with any choice. Ever! I have mentioned the wonderful ambiance. You truly have to experience it to feel the magic fully. A sunny day on the patio, a night with dazzling lights and heat lamps, or inside with all the festivities of many diners. It is all great. The customer service experience is definitely elevated! These people are long-time staff who know how to woo and wow the guest. And I have always been wowed. Everyone is a VIP at Willi's. Including your pooch.:) Heading to Healdsburg in the near future? Make those reservations now so you, too, may experience one of the best of the best, overall, creative dining outings ever. Tip: Chocolate chunk banana bread pudding...add a scoop of vanilla ice cream... TDF!:) Thanks, Willi's, for all the memorable eating adventures. Oh...and those future ones too:). Cheers!

Wonderful spot with great seafood. Calamari, clams, oysters, chowder ....everything was chefs kiss. Terrific service. Only blemish was the mushroom dish I'd ordered wasn't delivered to our table but instead to another. Manager apologized and comped us with dessert. Everything we had was incredibly tasteful and delicious and I loved it all except the snafu. I'd love to go back in a second.

Willi's is definitely a fish lovers paradise, but there is also something for everyone on the menu. There wasn't anything we did not like but our favorite dish was the BBQ'd Bacon Wrapped Scallops. It hit all the right sweet and savory notes with the Tamarind BBQ, Cilantro Pumpkinseed Pesto. It was just an outstanding dish. The Crispy Crab Tacos were also excellent. Great texture & flavor contrasts with the crisp shell, the savory crab, the sweet apple mint coleslaw & pickled onions. The Crispy Pork Belly Tacos were tasty but very greasy! The Pan Roasted Shrimp with chilis, lemon & garlic was good but did not knock our socks off! The Little Gem Salad was a great side salad to help round off the meal with some greens. One thing we were puzzled about & which kind of took away from our evening was where we were seated. We had made a reservation on Open Table & we were taken to a seating area on the upper level of the restaurant that had a few booths that looked like they were Covid era seating arrangement. The booths just had plywood paneled all the way up on both sides of the booth. It was unattractive & it also made you feel quite claustrophobic & detached from the whole vibe of the restaurant. We were puzzled as to why these closed booths were still there. They were out of place & a big contrast to the big open seating plan of the rest of restaurant. It would not be our choice to sit here again. Other than that, the food was great & we would visit again.

My husband and I came here for lunch on a Monday and while we had a reservation, we didn't need one because there was plenty of seating inside and outside! We got a booth, which was nice and more quiet and we ordered a few dishes to share. I'd say out of everything, the uni pasta and bacon wrapped scallops were probably the best out of the bunch but overall just okay. The calamari was also pretty average and the pork belly tacos (forgot to take a photo) were definitely a miss unfortunately. The tortillas seemed overcooked and the texture was really stiff :( Service was okay, all the servers were nice but it did take some time for someone to come back to our table (could be due to the layout of the restaurant being quite large).

This is a great restaurant to go to for a leisurely lunch on a warm day. There is plenty of shaded outdoor seating and the food, while not amazing, is generally solid. The service was a bit spotty as it took a while to get our order in and our initial wait person swapped out with a second person halfway through the ordering process, not because her shift ended but for some unexplained reason, and our second person seemed quite new as she came off nervous and generally not very knowledgeable. We ordered some oysters - raw and fried, raw clams, the crab cake, calamari, and artichoke. The raw shellfish were all quite fresh and delicious. For me, the calamari was the standout dish - tender and perfectly fried calamari with a chili gremolata that was full of flavor. The crab cake was not terribly memorable. The fried buffalo oysters and artichokes are good add ons to any meal. Overall, Willi's is a solid choice if you are in the area looking for a meal in a relaxed ambiance.

We recently enjoyed yet another incredible dining experience at Willi's Seafood, a beloved establishment that has been delighting customers for over a decade. The seafood options here are truly exceptional and worth every bite! Despite making a last-minute reservation, we found that the outdoor seating was completely occupied due to the beautiful weather. However, we opted to sit at the bar, which turned out to be a great choice. One of the standout features of Willies, particularly in Sonoma, is their impressive wine by the glass program. We were thrilled to discover that they offer a glass of Gary Ferrell Chardonnay for just $14! Additionally, they have a wide selection of other wines, such as Flowers, priced at $18 per glass. And if cocktails are more your style, they have a fantastic variety available for $14 each. So, be sure to come thirsty! To start our meal, we ordered the small seafood platter. The raw oysters and clams were incredibly fresh, and the fried clam strips were absolutely delicious. But the real star of the show was the clam chowder, which was a true highlight. It was so good that I could easily have had a few bowls of it! And as if that wasn't enough, we also tried the fish special, which was served tapa style and cost only $16. It was cooked to perfection and incredibly fresh. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. From the amazing seafood to the outstanding wine and cocktail selection, Willies is a must-visit for any food lover. You won't be disappointed!

Willi's Seafood & Raw Bar was a real treat (no surprise being part of the Stark Reality Restaurants). The servers were very professional, thoughtful, and attentive. We came on a sunny Wednesday afternoon and sat outside. The atmosphere was vivacious as everyone soaked up the beautiful weather and enjoyed their meals. We ordered: Firestone Pilsner, Cucumber Martini, and Matanzas Creek Sauvignon Blanc New England Style Clam Chowder, Oyster Crackers ($10) Charred Octopus, Pickled Hearts of Palm, Aji Amarillo, Cilantro ($14) Pan Roasted Shrimp with Chilies, Lemon & Garlic ($15) BBQ'D Bacon Wrapped Scallops, Tamarind BBQ, Cilantro Pumpkinseed Pesto. ($18 for 3, $24 for 4) The concept here is shareable small plates, which satisfied us reasonably for lunch (2 adults). The flavors were exceptional. Clam Chowder was seasoned to perfection, the Roasted Shrimp had a balance of heat and acidity, and the octopus tacos were a real show stopper - packed with flavor and textural appeal. The scallops were also a highlight, perfectly sweet, plump, salty, enhanced by the delightful pesto accompaniment. This place is very craveable. (Although the scallops are served in a set of 3, our server offered to add a 4th scallop for us to share, which we accepted, with an additional $6 charge). Willi's has got a new fan. I look forward to returning to try more items from their menu.

Located just off the square. Everything we had was amazing. The lobster roll was phenomenal. Really enjoyed the uni and crab Mac n cheese. Although I could not appreciate the uni so I would think of it as crab Mac n cheese. That was the only somewhat disappointment. The cucumber martini was refreshing and perfect for a warm evening cocktail. Do not leave without trying the bread pudding and adding vanilla ice cream. It was truly amazing! Great service. Perfect for couples and groups and prices are reasonable for the excellent quality.

Small plates, big flavor. My mom and I walked in on a Saturday at 5:00pm and were immediately seated in the bar. It was a nice evening, so the outdoor dining was already full with reservations. The bar has a fun, girls-night-out vibe to it, but it's situated in the main walkway between the front dining area and the patio/bathrooms, so disclaimer that there is a constant flow of foot traffic just behind you. Willy's has an extensive wine and beverage menu along with small plates and raw bar. My mom doesn't do raw anything, so we stuck to the small plates and were very pleased with our order. In order of preference, we had: pan roasted shrimp with chives and garlic, grilled fish tacos with avocado crema and pickled onions, bacon-wrapped scallops and the French fries with Laura Chanel goat cheese ranch. I would repeat everything we ordered! The flavors are phenomenal and they are brought to the table as they are ready, so you can graze your way through each selection. I do recommend making a reservation if you prefer outdoor summer seating or dine at peak hours.

First time coming to Willi's and I was not disappointed and I left super happy either a full belly. The seafood selection they have are super fresh and super tasty! I will come back here whenever I am back in Healdsburg. The sauces for the seafood was so good that you can just drink it by itself. Oysters and clam tasted so fresh and yummy. The service was really good also! Inside this place is super big!

As always, Willi's patio is a lovely spot for a sunny afternoon lunch with friends. While we waited just a few minutes for our table, the hostess was very gracious, offering us a place to sit and water. Wow! Once seated, very comfortably, we ordered iced tea and food. And then we waited. And waited. The ladies who were seated across from us were seated a good 15 minutes after we were. They were nearly finished before any of our food was presented. Once it arrived, everything was top notch from crab cakes, to creamed corn, artichoke and flank steak. Overall, a fine meal.

Grabbed lunch with a friend here and they have a cute patio space with the nifty fly swatter devices so you don't need to worry about the bugs touching your food. The service was attentive and we were seated quickly. We got the crab cake, fries, and mushrooms. I had a prisco cocktail which was great! It's a good space for socialising and appeared to be a popular date spot. Inside was very detailed, clean, and intimate

We totally lucked out on our visit to Healdsburg. The weather was beautiful, so we were hesitant to dine indoors in their spacious bar/ restaurant. Then we discovered the outdoor patio off to the side, entrance from the sidewalk or through the dining room. It is semi-secluded with greenery. We managed to snag a table, probably because we ate lunch at 2pm. They had these mystery whirlybird things on the table that turns out discourage flys. They work! Ahi tuna was lightly seared to perfection. Same deliciousness for the chowder. The raw Tomales Bay oysters were plump & tasty. Some guy named Duncan sources the mushrooms, props to him. They were fried with a yummy sauce. Fried calamari was lightly coated & crispy. The service was friendly & efficient, & they didn't rush us. I'll definitely return on the next visit to Healdsburg.

We recently enjoyed a warm summer night dinner outside on the patio at Willi's (part of the Starks' restaurant group). We've ordered take out a few times but this was shockingly our first time dining at the restaurant. We had our dog with us and were thankful to get a seat on their dog-friendly patio (there must have been at least 5 other dogs there). Two of us humans shared the Kale Caesar Salad and Duncan's Mushrooms (IYKYK) - highly recommend both! He had the Bacon Wrapped Scallops and a glass of Ramazzotti Zinfandel. I had the flavorful Grilled Fish Tacos and a glass of refreshing Seghesio Vermentino. Service was attentive. Food was tasty. We really need to get back there again soon!

We used to LOVE everything at Willi's but were a little underwhelmed on our visit on sunday night - we had the shrimp app that was super dry and over cooked, the chicken skewers - very small amount of food, fish tacos - didn't love the tortillas and lacking in flavor. The ceviche was good. They were 'out' of the freshly made bread at 630pm - how is that possible? I thought it was made there but maybe not any more? The banana chocolate chip bread pudding was excellent so maybe next time we just go for dessert!

We were in Sonoma for.my birthday celebration!! Willi's came recommended by one of the wineries, and we remembered we had eaten here before. After a day of wine, a great Manhattan clears the palate, and Willi's didn't disappoint. Ironically, our bartender was Will. We sat at the bar to enjoy the cocktails and a light supper. The calamari was to die for. The scallops wrapped in bacon Devine. The crabcake was 100% crab, no fillers. And finished with a butterscotch pudding. Definitely worth going to this restaurant!! We will be back.

We can't all be Michelin-starred restaurants. Food was okay. The best thing was the butterfish with miso, that slapped everything else was so-so. The drinks were not okay. My husband got a horchata cocktail. He said as a Mexican he was offended by the flavor. I guess it was his fault for getting horchata at an establishment where the main patronage are boomers wearing straw fedoras and a Hawaiian shirt. Service was excellent though.

We had our first dinner at Willi's tonight and we will definitely be back! The oysters and calamari were the best we have ever had. Not fishy at all and so fresh. The crab tacos were so yummy, and the curry/apple/mint made them truly unique. My husband also ordered the pork belly tacos and really enjoyed them.

Very excited to have tried this place! The inside is beautiful and they have powerful outside heaters. My hubs and I are from Sacramento but we're in the area for my work Christmas party and we were hanging out in the square in the meantime. We went over to Willie's as soon as it opened. Sat outside under the warmth of the heat lamp and perused the menu. It's all tapas style so everything comes out as it's ready and the positions aren't enormous. Our waitress Allyssa was very sweet and really helped me out with recommendations. I had a glass of the Marimar Pinot which was the perfect way to start lunch. I also got the clam chowder which was good but a tad too salty for me, but my husband ate it up. I also got the butterfish and it was amazing. The sauce was so freaking good and the mushroom melted like butter. 10/10 would go again!

We were just driving through and heard that good chow was to be had in Healdsburg. It's true. The crispy pork belly tacos were sublime. It's a good thing I don't live there, I'd be a weekly customer, if just for the pork belly tacos. The chocolate chunk banana bread pudding is insanely delicious. The service was great; everything we ate was scrumptious. We ate outside and the parade of nice people and cute dogs was a delight.

This place was so great for a multigenerational family dinner. We appreciated the creative menu and the willingness to accommodate our kids with some off menu items. The small plates were all excellent. Dessert is not to be missed either. Service was wonderful. We left full and happy.

Food was delish overall, some dishes better than others. The yellowtail ceviche was amazing -- I'm from Southern California so I'm picky about when it comes to ceviche. It was perfectly spicy and refreshing. The Kale Caesar was ok, could've done without. Chicken skewers were really good but not as great as the hanger steak skewers. Those were juicy, tender, and super flavorful. Pan roasted shrimp were yummy. But the LOBSTER ROLL was to die for. Buttery without being heavy, on the fluffiest most perfect brioche roll. It melts in your mouth, so good. I loved our server, she was super cool, knowledgeable and helpful. Service was 5/5, but I gave 4/5 overall because the food was really really good but the entire experience didn't blow me away. I think ambiance was 4/5, some tables are much better than others. but for what it is, it's super solid and I would recommend this to anyone.

Had a great time getting dinner here and sharing small plates. Service was super attentive. Calamari was a highlight with the Asian-esque sweet chili sauce. Octopus tacos with hearts of palm are not something I've seen on too many menus and we thoroughly enjoyed them. The octopus texture was not too chewy or tough. Crab cakes are FAT and pretty much just straight crab meat. I had a piece of shell in mine but I know shelling crab is really difficult. The only letdown was the yellowtail ceviche. It was on the sweet side and was just missing some more flavor/texture.

My husband and I always come here for a special occasion. The restaurant is decorated beautifully. We always ask for the booth seat which is more private and we always get it despite coming at the busy time like 6-7pm and the host has always made it happen for us, which is very nice of them. All the dishes we have tried here are very good! Today we had the warm sourdough, calamari dish, crab tacos, and mushroom dish. They all were super delicious! Calamari was a bit too sweet for me but my husband enjoyed it. The portion was surprisingly large despite being a small plate and we felt very full at the end. We got strawberry magaritas and pineapple whiskey sour and both were great. Food came out really fast. I wish the server came to check on us at least once after we ordered.

Willi's Seafood and Raw Bar, Healdsberg, CA - September 3, 2023 This was the last non-travel day of a month long trip that went through three western states that included traveling to high deserts, lush green pine and redwood forests, magnificent waterfalls, rushing rivers, serene blue lakes, jagged cliff rock island ocean coastlines, and of course sumptuous red and white wine vineyards, and included stops at multiple eateries, bakeries, breweries, wineries, and shops. We were in wind down mode before completing the final three-hour leg of our journey the following day, so we decided to take it easy and take in all the beauty and charm of Downtown Healdsberg, which was about a half hour drive south from where we were staying in Cloverdale. After checking out a nearby bakery, home decoration store, a tea shop, book store, and dog supply store (where we bought a new leash for Fido), we landed once again at Willie's Seafood and Raw Bar. We've eaten here a few times over the years when we've been in the area, always for lunch. They have indoor and shaded outdoor patio seating as well as a bar area. We arrived at about 1 pm without a reservation and only bar seating was available. No worries, the vibe here is great regardless of where you sit. We were seated quickly and given menus to look over. Our server, who was also one of the bartenders, was very friendly and attentive. We landed on a clam and garlic flat bread with bacon and green onions, and the grilled fish tacos with an avocado crème, pickled red onions, green chilis, and lime. We shared a half carafe of Martin Ray 2022 Rose wine. Everything was delicious, and of course we'll be back! And next time we'll make reservations for dinner!

Stopped at this little gem between wine tastings and we were not disappointed! So many delicious options, it was hard to choose! The aesthetic - 7/10 TBH, it really isn't much to look at. We sat at the raw bar to watch them shuck the oysters all lunch but the back room definitely has a more interesting ambiance. The team - 10/10 Our waitress was so sweet and accommodating! She checked in just enough and even brought us extra ranch when she saw we were running low without batting an eye. Our order: - Kale Ceasar salad - Doesn't sound like much but boy was it delicious! The kale was tender, the dressing subtle but flavorful, and a pretty decent size. - Melted cheese with Chorizo - Please order this. Just do it. It was recommended to me by our host at a winery and holy moly that was a good rec! - Oysters - You have to try a few, they're delicious and decently sized! - French Fries with goat cheese ranch - If I could bottle this ranch and eat it forever... I would. - Pork Belly tacos - Delicious and exactly what you would expect. - Chicken skewers - Pretty good! This was my partner's order and he really liked it (admittedly not super excited about it). Altogether, Willi's will definitely be seeing us again!

After a day of wine tasting, we needed to eat. So, we asked the locals where they go to eat. Four out of five people said Willi's we listened and we're glad we did. The ambience, food, and service is 5 out of 5!

Came into town with some hunger and was looking to cure that with a nice lunch at Willi's. We sat inside as it was a warm day and the inside had nice air conditioning. Started with a nice half bottle of Navarro Pinot Grigio and a dozen oysters. The wine hit the spot and the oysters were of good quality. The shucking of the oysters left a lot to be desired as we found shell bits in every oyster. But. No other issues this meal. The yellowtail ceviche was very fresh and the taro chips were a great vehicle for eating it: The two salads we had, the little gem and spinach, were both fantastic and way bigger than I thought a salad on a small plate menu would be. Gin to head, I'd choose the little gem salad, but both had amazingly fresh produce and were so well prepared. And the piece de resistance were the fried clams. These were not your run of the mill fried clams. These were elevated, next level clams prepared with shishito peppers. I cannot tell you how much clams and shishitos are a match made in heaven. Chefs kiss.

Wow! This place is goooooood! We stopped by for drinks and oysters and they did not disappoint. We were seated immediately, and order both raw and baked oysters. Our drinks were delicious and the bartender was very kind. Now the food, both orders of oysters were TOP NOTCH. I couldn't decided which I liked more and I couldn't snap a picture because they got eaten so fast! I would definitely recommend trying the baked oysters if you are not a fan of raw ones!
