This is not our first time here and it does not disappoint. The food is always wonderful and hits your taste buds with flavor and new unique twists on its food. We like that there is time to talk and wait while your meal is being prepared. I do find that the noise level can be quite loud at time. Might have been the table of 8 behind us too!! Prices are very reasonable - the key is to not over order as it all looks so good and you want to try it all! Save room for dessert

We have been there a number of times and it is pretty reliable as far as quality. Sometimes they miss a bit like their string bean salad which is normally outstanding was missing salt. Their simple crimini mushroom salad is and was excellent. Also, the Mac and cheese is usually excellent and this time was no different. It could have used a bit more liquid as it was a tad dry but it did not deter at all from how well the pasta was cooked and how outstanding the flavor was. Would like to see them expand their vegetarian offerings even more. A pleasant place to sit and have dinner.

The food was really good and beautifully plated -- right up there with restaurants in more "touristy" areas downtown or in Healdsburg. Very creative menu, wonderful vegetarian options (our main reason for choosing it). Small plate format gives you a lot of flexibility for sharing, scaling back to leave room for dessert. Nice wine selection; we would have been tempted by the flights if we hadn't been winetasting all day. We each had a different dessert, which was arguably more than we needed, but everyone was happy with their choices. The only very tiny critique -- we would have enjoyed fresh berries with the lemon dessert. We also appreciated that we were able to bring our well-behaved dog -- another key reason for choosing this restaurant.

Great experience overall. Really enjoyed the food and drinks. I would not recommended the pork belly potstickers though..they were very salty and drenched in salty sauce so the potsticker texture was mushy. The crab tacos and filet sliders are a must order, both excellent!

The service was good. Our Server was very polite and attentive. The food was not good. Everything was soaked in seasoning and glaze. It's not what we normally get from a Stark's Restaurant. Maybe it was just an off day.

Willi’s is a local gem where the regulars eat and tourists are welcome. The small plates are excellent, but the stars of the show are the “Something Completely Different” wines by the glass. Put yourselves into the hands of the servers and ask them to pair these wines with the food you order. Divine and highly recommended. Bravo!

Goat cheese frittata was excellent. Heirloom tomato salad delicious. Sliders were melt in the mouth like butter. Those were the highlights. Everything was delicious. Drinks were great. Servers attentive. Support staff kept the table bussed and water glasses full. Lively on a Friday night. Sat indoors. Reservation highly recommended. True to form Sonoma County/Wine Country dining experience.

Have not been to Willie's in a while. It was even better than we remembered! Only reservation is the size of the wine portions. It is less wine for increased $$ compared to Monti's. Would recommend adding a 9 ounce pour and the smallest pour should be increased or removed.

A it was on our prior visit to the Wine Bar, the ambient noise during dinner was, to put it mildly, excessive, making it difficult for our party to converse. "Energetic" is too kind a term. "Disruptive" would be more accurate.

It was a Monday night, so it wasn't massively busy. Service was very good and the food featured some interesting approaches. We had the chicken thighs, calimari, lamb chops and beet salad. All were terrific and the portions were more than adequate for two people. It was a good value as well if you are not ordering bottles of wine etc.
