Valette

"I jewel of a find in Healdsburg. The owners focus on fresh and high quality ingredients. Menu options are creative, well done, and mouth watering.. The ambiance is wonderful. Service is great. Fresh, hot bread is served. As one would expect with a high-end restaurant, prices come in a little high. All together, it is worth it. Looking for a great experience, try Valette. Update 3/5/2024 - It was my son's 25th birthday. We chose Valette to celebrate and made reservations. It was a Tuesday at 5:30. So, not busy. We sat outside in the patio. Everything was perfect. The menu didn't disappoint. Our choices included duck, steelhead trout and sides of sweet potatoes, and mixed vegetables. Of course, there was artisan bread. Yum! Our server let us know that the duck required extra preparation time, maybe 30 minutes. No problem, we had lots to talk about. The wait wasn't long, and our meals were served. But, there was a glitch. No sides. We waited a few minutes. Still no sides. So, I asked. Our server returned and said he just ordered our sides - like this was good service. It wasn't. And, he didn't acknowledge the error. Main dishes without the sides is a terrible dining experience. How does this happen when the restaurant isn't busy? I thought our server might offer some kind of comp, a gesture. Nope, nothing was mentioned. Not to get lost, our meals were wonderful. Our experience told us Valette would be great. This evening, it wasn't. Mistakes happen. Owning the mistake matters. Particularly when the cost of the experience is high. Will I return? Maybe."

"We shared the tasting menu since we don’t eat much. We paired it with wine and it was spectacular! The service and the food were phenomenal!"

"We live on the east coast and this is our second time! Food is amazing and the portions generous and cocktails on point. The star is the baked scallop! If you don’t like scallops, this dish can change your mind. Will we come back? Yes"

"Food was good. I was first person who enter in 5pm reservation. They seated me by the entrance door even restaurant was completely empty. Spent $238.00 including 20% tip"

"Valette Restaurant is located in the downtown Healdsburg area and has both indoor and outdoor seating. I love the ambiance of this place and the service is always excellent! We have been here several times since the food is amazing! The staff are friendly and it's always a great experience dining here. The food is absolutely delicious! I ordered the Pan Seared Lassen Steel Head and my husband got the Smoked Prime New York Steak. We shared a Sonoma County Citrus Salad that was also amazing! The wine list has amazing options and I love that they have wines from local wineries."
