About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Hot spot

Step into Healdsburg's dynamic farm-to-table destination, where Executive Chef Nate Davis and Chef-Owner Dustin Valette create modern Wine Country cuisine on the historic Plaza. This Wine Spectator Award of Excellence restaurant features multiple dining experiences under one roof—from the main dining room to our famous Wine Wall with 88 rotating selections by the glass.

Michelin-recognized, the menu celebrates Healdsburg's micro-seasonal ingredients and local farmers. Whether dining in the main room, enjoying happy hour downstairs, or celebrating on the mezzanine, every detail reflects Chef Valette's connection to his great-grandfather's legacy—this building once housed Honoré Valette's Snowflake Bakery in the 1920s. Open daily for dinner. Reservations recommended for an unforgettable evening where exceptional cuisine meets the heart of Sonoma County.

Was last at The Matheson 2 years back and we were a bit underwhelmed by the food served..... So we decided to give them another chnace and we were pleased to see that they had returned to the high quality that we were used to when we first started visiting. Definitely will visit again in the future.

The food and the service were excellent! With an extensive mocktail and creative cocktail menu, those who may be wined out have great options. I think the thing that stands out the most about the food is the outstanding flavor. From the crudo mixed at our table to the chicken and sea bass main entrees, every bite was bursting with balanced but exciting flavors. Reliance on butter and salt for flavoring is noticeable absent from the kitchen. Thank you!!! Highly recommend. Service also exceeded expectations and was most attentive.

The Matheson servies tasty and innovative food at this trendy spot across from the green in Healdsburg. The beef filet and the hamburger were excellent, while other items like the caesar need refining. Lively, the restaurant feels like a place to be seen. Excellent selection of wines. Service was spotty and uneven, but the servers were friendly. A fun place to enjoy good food. Rooftop 106 and eating at the bar are also good options. Sister restaurant Valette is a very good alternative.
