Fantastic food and ambiance!
Amazing service and people. Loved the 5 course option and never felt rushed.
Always a favorite. Great service, tastiest food and nice atmosphere.
Wonderful. The salad, the tartare, the drinks and the pork porterhouse were fantastic. Excellent service. The owner, Aaron, was very warm and welcoming.
We ordered the Trust the Chef tasting menu and it was AMAZING! Each small plate was exquisitely prepared. The service was top notch too! We were fortunate to meet the Chef's dad too! :)
Service was great
One of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Every dish had so much depth and distinctive layers of flavor that stood out as extraordinary.
We loved the tasting menu! Food was on point....creative and fresh.
Fabulous dining experience—everything was fresh and beautifully presented !!!! I’m
Coming back!!
Celebrated my 60th by myself since my wife was not feeling well(not COVID). Decided to do tasting menu. Amazing food and service. Could not have asked for a better end to my incredible day. Thanks Bob and Sandra. Cheers
very friendly atmosphere. Waiters extremely helpful and food terrific.
Bob, Owners father always there to greet you
Warm, friendly, generous service and extraordinary food--all combined to make for a wonderful evening out!
Great food, great service, highly accommodating for vegan patrons
Second time dining here and it did not disappointment. Amazing service (it was our anniversary and they gave us a hand written card to celebrate), fun tasting menu (the hubby and I had several different plates for each course so what was a 6 course tasting menu really felt like it was a 10 course tasting menu.) We left very full and happy!
Eating inside was nice. Also nice seeing others so enjoy a wonderful meal with friends and attentive service. The service included chef/owners checking in with us on how the meal was. Good wine list and varied entre selections. An enjoyable evening sharing good food , fine wine and and a sense that all enjoyed being at Valette’s that nite
Just superb. From cocktails to dessert, a perfect dinner.
Great service, amazing dishes, and nice atmosphere. They make it look effortless.
It's definitely worth going to.
Fabulous food. Menu doesn’t do presentation and dishes justice
Always a special evening when dining at Valette. The scallops in croute are a must! Fantastic flavor, plump scallops and amazing sauce. We also enjoyed the Sonoma Salad and the Halibut is always cooked perfectly! Highly recommend.
Always fantastic food, service and ambiance- one of our favorite restaurants in Healdsburg!
One of my all time favorite meals. We went when in town visiting and were so impressed by both the quality of the food and the service. It is upscale without being stuffy and while not cheap by an stretch of the imagination it is fairly priced for what you get. Day boat scallops are to die for, as is the beef tartare and the green tea cookies with grapefruit buttercream. Beautiful patio with excellent heaters and well spaced to accommodate for COVID, we are very cautious and felt very comfortable. Highly recommended.
Incredible birthday dinner! Made the night special with welcome card and devine tasting menu!
Food was excellent. The chef's father was very gracious, proud and welcoming. Wish we had the scallop souffle.
This was our first dine-in eating experience since Covid so we were excited to return to Valette and try their menu offerings. Food was very good and good portions with the entrees. Service was above board. Wine pairing at server's recommendations were great.
Outstanding service. Excellent food. Wonderful outside dining arrangements due to COVID mandates.
Dustin does an amazing job. Do not miss this restaurant when in Healdsburg.
A must.
I am surprised that Valette does not yet have a star. Terrific execution of everything we ordered - make sure to get the scallops! The cocktails were exquisite too. The service is incredibly attentive and quite fun to be around. We’re looking forward to our next visit.
We have not been to Valette in the past, couldn't ever get a reservation. We made this a month in advance. We were seated on the most beautiful newly structured outside space. Tent covered with heat lamps. Tables spread a nice distance apart. Lovely waiter with a really cute sense of humor. We started with cocktails. My date had a Gin/Tonic and wasn't impressed with the "chefs choice G/T" the waiter asked about appetizers and we just wanted to sit and talk and enjoy each others company. The waiter left us alone but we felt we could order and he was right there without hovering. I had the duck Breast. It was cooked perfectly. A true chef knows how to cook duck! My date had the Halibut. There wasn't a crumb left on his plate. We did notice most people were having the "Chef Choice" and everything looked so good. We decided to try that next time. This was the best dining experience we have had with or without Covid...Nicely done Vallette
Business Dinner
The tasting menu with the wine pairings was perfect. All the dishes were delicious. The wines paired perfectly. And the cocktails were good too.
Just wonderful...every bite! and all of our questions answered!
One of the best restaurants in Healdsburg. Always one of the first reservations we make when planning a trip to this beautiful town. Their scallop appetizer is out of this world. Every entree we have tried has been exceptional. Service is very personal and professional.
Valette really does fine dining without the stuffiness you usually encounter. Do the trust the chef tasting courses and add caviar, thank me later.
Met up with a friend and we got the menu. It was delightful. I’ve never had a menu where each person gets something different. I’d highly recommend. Also the homemade Tonic in the G&T was amazing.
Delicious from warm rolls to homemade pasta to my husband’s duck and my halibut. Comfortable outdoor experiences overall. Chef’s father adds value with his delightful Healdsburg historical highlights, as he strolls from table to table. Wish he had kept his mask on the entire conversation.
We had the"Trust the Chef" 5 course tasting menu. Outstanding in every way. Could not help thinking that Single Thread, across the street, would have been 4x more expensive and I can't imagine that it could be 4x as good. (Or even as good!)
Chef’s choice, 5 courses with wine pairing. Everything as fabulous, we will return with friends soon :)
Superb food and service
The service was outstanding.
Service and food were excellent. Better than before the closures!
Dustin is truly an amazing chef....the kobe dish and crab sole was amazing. Dale mixed some outstanding drinks that paired really well with the meal and was a delight with his knowledge of the menu and pairings. The father of the two chefs came to the table on our way out and was a kind individual, thanking us for coming that evening. Definitely worth the time to visit this culinary treasure in Healdsburg. A+++
Went for my birthday. Valette never fails to disappoint. Trust me tasting menu for three of us. One with a cocktail pairing and two with a wine pairing. Awesome job on both fronts. We were full and happy when we left❤️
