Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Guerneville

I think because it was Jan 1st perhaps they were short staffed. Everything was beautiful. The food was great. We did have to ask for our waiter to pour the wine when we’d waited awhile with empty glasses. We will still be back.

The loaded Mac and cheese was amazing as well as the halibut my husband had. Both dishes were delicious, and service was great!

Consistently good and interesting food which is easy to share. Always friendly, courteous, efficient service. All the servers I have encountered go out of their way to accommodate the requests of the customers. Easy access for those with special mobility needs. Never disappoints.

I have been to Valette a couple of times before and loved it. The Scallops are the star on the menu! Decided to splurge for my birthday dinner and had the Chef's tasting menu with wine pairing. We all agreed it was a fantastic experience and again...the Scallops were everyones favorite! We were seated at the Chef's table near the open kitchen. It was really fun we also had a personal visit from Chef Dustin and his adorable dad too!

Starting with the room itself, all the way through dessert, five stars are warranted. I enjoyed their boulevardier riff called Lost in the Orchard very much. The chocolate bitters and cedar smoke mage for a perfect balance. Our choices were a three course tasting menu or their 6 course tasting experience. We opted for 3. It's a great value at 75pp. Don't miss the salmon appetizer. It's inventive and delicious, perfect starter. I ate every bite of the persimmon and burrata salad and tasted my partners little gems. Both were great. Chicken roulade with crisp polenta could have maybe been a tiny bit crispier but definitely enjoyed it. The filet with pave potatoes was also perfectly prepared. And those desserts! You'll have trouble choosing. I went for the simple poached pear without regret. The service was attentive and not overbearing. The room is spacious and absolutely gorgeous. We will for certain be back.
