    This is an exceptional destination for dinner in restaurant-laden Healdsburg. Comfortably presented in what used to be a small house with a nicely landscaped back yard, the environment is much less chaotic than a commercial restaurant space. The menu and wine list are extensive, with a range of choices to please all tastes. We enjoyed an all-tapas meal, including bacalao cigarillos (outstanding), crispy chicken thighs, sauteed spinach, chorizo & shishito peppers, and las patatas bravas. We had a nice, steely, refreshing Spanish white wine, El Coto, which complemented all dishes. The sauces kicked each of the dishes up a notch, with romesco and romesco aioli mayonnaise being most memorable. We were attended by what seemed like a horde of staff, rather than a particular server, but all were very enthusiastic and moved with blurry speed. We were STUFFED by the five tapas we ordered, so we did not even consider dessert, but the coffee we ordered sticks out as the best we've had in recent experience: it is served in a metal French press, with a uniform grind that is sized to be effectively filtered out by a very fine mesh screen in the press (no grounds or fines make it into the coffee). I don't know the brand of coffee, but it was very rich and smooth, without bitterness or acidity. So different from the coffee I make for myself that I feel like I'm obliged to rave about it. Even the furniture of this place was memorable. If you are visiting Healdsburg you must try Bravas.

    The food was great and the servers were friendly and efficient. Would recommend the shishito peppers and chorizo, duck meatballs and octopus. The paella looked really good, too. Planning to have it next time.

    Delightful lunch on Jan 2. Hostess helpful in suggesting we eat on the well-heated patio where it was quieter than inside. All food was prepared to order. The paella special was mostly seafood with a bit of chorizo and was delicious. Suggest ordering it first thing when you arrive since it takes 30-45 minutes to prepare. Lettuce on the salad was fresh and crisp, dressed perfectly and had a generous amount of blue cheese plus sliced apples and the Spanish almonds. Our other tapas choice was bacon wrapped dates--delectable and sweet--and could actually serve as a dessert. The generous glass of white sangria was tangy, satisfying and beautifully served with slices of orange and grapefruit. Would definitely go again.

    Kimberly was our server, and she was so lovely. She helped us with our order and was very friendly. Their goat cheese caramalized onion toast was really good, but everything else that we ordered were just okay. The potatoes were crispy but dry on the inside. The scallops were alright. The dishes that we ordered had interesting flavours that we personally thought didn’t blend well together.

    Fantastic lunch. Great food and service. Our table was kind of in the way of other guests and staff. But it didn't dampen the experience.
