Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Guerneville

Our server Madison was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the menu and so pleasant and engaging. Food was delicious and drinks were great! This was my first time there and I will absolutely be back. Thanks for a great Valentine’s Day!

We were greeted warmly at the door for our 5pm reservation and allowed to select out table. We sat at the booth on the left - very cozy. We had the foie gras and scallops appetizers- both were wonderful. For dinner my husband had the special beef bourguignon which was flavorful and tender. I had the special lobster pasta which could have had more lobster but what I had was very good. We will be returning!

As lovers of high-end dining, we can confidently say that our experience at SingleThread was nothing short of extraordinary. From the impeccable service to the stunning presentation and the flawless execution of every dish, this was truly a level of excellence we had never encountered before. Every detail was meticulously curated, making for an unforgettable evening. SingleThread is not just a restaurant—it’s a masterpiece in hospitality and culinary artistry.

Last year & this, our experience @ Dry Creek Kitchen was the highlight of our trip to Healdsburg (& the wine, of course). The ambiance is lovely, Chris and the whole staff are beyond compare, the corkage policy is extremely reasonable (especially if you bring a Sonoma wine!), not that one needs to bring wine, & the menu is flawlessly executed/everything is delicious — love that the $75 3-course dinner is not prix fixe. Rather, you get to choose from bountiful options in all 3 categories. And, if you’re like us, you have to add a canapé of crispy pork belly bites on biscuits w/maple glaze. Can’t wait until our return next year!

Our waiter was very nice and gracious considering the many tables and guests he was responsible for. The food was very tasty-salad cool and crisp. My prime rib was just as requested-medium. My husband’s steak however was too rare as he wanted medium-it was unfortunately under cooked. But we’ll give Stark’s another visit as the ambiance is stellar!!!!
