I was looking for a delicious and inspiring dinner, and I found it at Valette this weekend. They did a nice job for outdoor seating: even with the windy, cold evening, neither the food nor the service suffered. The two of us went for the 5-courses chef’s tasting menu, and the chef delivered 10 different courses, all in impeccable flavors, textures, and presentation. While we had been to Valette a few times before the pandemic and often had a good time, this was definitely the highlight.
Can’t wait to go back again.

Awesome poke and scallops dishes! Perfect service...not a negative thing to say!!

Everything was great— as usual!

The tasting menu was extraordinary with exceptional wine and food pairing!

Always a favorite place to eat. The food is great, the service and ambiance are top notch

We found the food to be just OK.
Steak was very chewy and had too much sauce.
Fish had no discernible crab.

Just go. Henny.

Delicious food. Great outdoor dining set up! Great service!

One of the best tasting menus I have ever had. This includes two and three star Michelin rated restaurants!
Great food and service.
Would highly recommend and ready to return.

On par with any of the Michelin rated restaurants in Northern Ca wine country.

They did a great job considering the circumstances. Doing their best with the outdoor dining situation. My food got cold quickly cause the cold wind was blowing

Fine Dining 2021—fine at Valette. Didn’t feel like outside in a white heated tent. In a shy mood, but WOW that lobster risotto was so my style! And I can rarely resist a filet mignon, with fresh shaved truffles right on top. My serve Sandra took great care , all staff were really on it.

I would tell you but I just wrote a very long commentary review that open table proceeded to loose, so unfortunately I don't have time to write it again. Please tell open table to up their review game, its pretty bad.

Amazing food and ambiance. My new favorite in Healdsburg.

Great dinner and good service!! Loved the steak!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Valette. Excellent food, wine, and service. A lovely way to spend our anniversary. Thank you.

We went for a birthday celebration, and we couldn’t have had a better experience

Overall we had an excellent experience, the waitstaff performed flawlessly and attentively, the small table being the only challenge. One member of our group of four was celebrating a birthday and Justin was generous to a fault providing us with some additional tastings. Highly recommended.

As always, the food, drinks and service is simply awesome. Have missed dining here this past year. Will make use of the outdoor dining opportunity more regularly again ! The tables are set apart a good distance and felt very safe and comfortable dining here .
The bartender created a new drink for me based on my likes and it was really delicious. Definitely a restaurant worth visiting again and again. We did the Chef’s tasting menu and it was totally worth it.

Food and drinks were great. Service was outstanding

I have been a fan of this restaurant since its opening but now Valette is starting to price itself out of the affordability range even by Bay Area standards. My husband and I are familiar with the regular pricing structure but were blown away by the bill we received this past Saturday night. We were charged $80 for a steak special where there was no mention of price by the waiter. Yes it was big but perhaps should have perhaps been recommended as a meal for two. We were offered shaved truffle as an add on and it was not mentioned that it cost $15. We just assumed it was part of the steak special. The waiter suggested a Valette Cabernet to go with the steak which ended up being $44. How could a waiter suggest this without mentioning the price? It has been a treat for us to go to Valette but based on this we have decided not to return again.

Valette just keeps getting better! We had a fabulous meal in their beautiful patio 2/5 with great cocktails. We had a lousy dinner elsewhere the next night and returned without a reservation and they made our night! Adrian is a great server!

The outdoor seating area is very comfortable and nice - great food and stellar service.

Awesome ...love this place!!!!

Always impressed with the food and the service. One of my favorite restaurants.

Valette is my favorite restaurant for any occasion. I love the appetizers the signature salad and seafood entrees.

Only giving 4 stars for ambiance because we have to sit outside and it was raining (totally not their fault)...but, we LOVE Valette and highly, highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Our dinner (and the gin and tonics, with homemade tonic) was exceptional. Brava!

This is the best fine dining experience in Sonoma County. The ambiance is beautiful in their outdoor dining patio, covered for rain and many heaters. The food is exceptional and so is the service. We also had the pleasure of talking to Bob Valette at the end of our dinner and ordered the bread and jam dessert he suggested. This was his grandfather’s recipe. It was delicious!

Service and food was impeccable and welcoming. The highlights were the Vitamin V cocktail, the tuna poke (the greatest taste sensation and thoughtful combinations of flavors I have ever had in poke!), the coriander dusted duck breast was another study in perfect blending of flavors and textures to create the perfect bites. It was a very enjoyable meal outdoor in the midst of Covid, we were warm, felt safe and well fed, Valette is always a favorite destination.

This was my second time eating at Valette and first time outdoor dining here. It’s an absolutely outstanding experience and I continue to be a huge fan of this restaurant! Valette has made the outdoor dining feel comparable to the indoor experience and felt quite cozy even with the January chill. The food and cocktails are incredible, the service is attentive and helpful, and Valette continues to be a top 3 Bay Area dining spot for me. Huge fan.

Dining at Valette is truly an amazing experience. The food , the ambiance , and service are unmatched. We do look forward to going there whenever we’re lucky enough to score a table. Chef Dustin and his brother Aaron are warm and professional. They pour so much heart and soul into this place that you can feel the love. Their Dad , Bob, who walks around greeting everyone is a gem and a fascinating person who pilots fire fighting airplanes in the local area. Be sure to try the scallop appetizer which is baked in a copper pot with an amazing pastry crust and topped off with a pernod cream sauce and caviar. Magnificent just like Valette. Don’t miss dining here if you can get in 🤗👍❤️🎉

Last meal before the shutdown. It was great!

Once again, a fantastic experience at Valette.
Excellent food, terrific staff, and a pleasant atmosphere.

Delicious food. The scallop encroute appetizer notable. They brought bone marrow side (we did not order) with our Waygu beef special, five year aged, incredible. Forbidden rice to accompany. Hands down a food party. We will be back - chef came by to see what we thought. Great attention to detail. Five stars.

The duck is a near-perfect dish and one of my absolute favorites. The duck itself is amazing and flavorful with perfectly cooked skin, and sits on forbidden rice which is an absolute umami bomb. Then there is the spring-roll type thing-y which is crispy and not greasy - just tasty. And finally the bok choy provides a little counterbalance to all the savory flavors and adds a fresh, not overly seasoned flavor. It's always a little too much food, but I eat it anyway because of how good each element tastes. And let's not forget the bread and salted butter at the beginning - if you love fresh bread, this is irresistable.

Great vibe - love my Healdsburg hometown and Valette is a winner.

They are doing an amazing job considering all the COVID-19 restrictions. Service was spot on, food great!

Fantastic outdoor dining experience this week. Would have gone back on Monday but everything is closing down again. I noticed they were also doing a booming takeout business.

Eating there was the best outdoor dining experience we have had so far. Will definitely return.

Valette is always great. Food, service and ambiance

Delicious food beautifully presented. Wonderful ambiance!

Simply the best. This is our fourth time here in 2 months and we live in Texas. The food is always excellent. The ambiance is amazing. I can’t say enough about this great restaurant!
