Was surprised to be seated immediately at a counter overlooking the kitchen. Love watching the food come out. Was give 46 different menus for all the different things. Ok it was like 6, but still, thats a lot!
Had a few different servers help me, which was nice but also a little confusing on who my actual server was. Yvette ended up being the one to help for the rest of the meal and she was awesome!
I ordered the 6 Oz filet. Beautiful presentation. Perfect cook, but was unevenly seasoned and (for me) needed the accompanying sauces. The bed of mushrooms and shishito peppers were a nice addition.
Chimichurri and XO was super good. 12/10 good. The bernaise sauce, for me was meh.
For dessert, I ordered the Matheson Float. I ordered mine with the rum shot, strictly for research purposes, and it was the perfect way to end the meal.
Overall a fantastic meal, great service, and an inviting atmosphere.
See you again soon!

Great food! Senior Valette had come to us to chat and he was really sweet – we were there for our anniversary and he wished us – appreciate the hand signed card by the staff as well
Some of the dishes we loved and were perfect were – caviar toast, bone marrow bacon jam + ciabatta, tuna tartare, steak frites. Even their NA drink – Honey phosphate was just perfect!
Their pappardelle was really hyped up by our server, Nico – rabbit ragu was very salty when I first got it. They did “fix” it but the ragu was very poorly made – watery, salty and did not seem well prepared overall. I have never had a watery ragu before. There were hardly any bits of rabbit in it and the pappardelle was handmade (which I appreciate) but the pasta needed to be rolled slightly thinner. Overall disappointing dish.
Service is where this restaurant needs A LOT OF work!! Our server Nico needs to be more attentive and to not act like we are inconveniencing him when we called him for help – we were trying to get his attention about the salty pasta dish or the fact that all our dishes including main course had arrived but my drinks were nowhere to be seen. He did apologize and checked on us after which I appreciate.
There was another woman server who rolled her eyes – There was probably some miscommunication with her and the staff – we had already done the wine tastings and she got us 4 more of the same set of wines. We informed her honestly that we had already done the tastings and she rolled her eyes and walked away with an attitude. Her name was Gaby or Cathy or something like that.

Hats off to The Matheson. An understated building right off of the downtown Healdsburg square, this restaurant takes over a large portion of the block, but you would never know. We started off at their rooftop bar, Roof 106, for drinks before dinner. This is a happening place, so make sure you either have a reservation or come early, otherwise you may be waiting for a bit. For dinner, we opted for the Chef’s Counter to make it extra special since we were celebrating a birthday. From beginning to end, the staff treated us with a balance of family and elegance, always there for a friendly recommendation but keeping an eye on every detail. We did the Chef’s Picks, which if you can, I would HIGHLY recommend. Over five courses, we were able to watch the kitchen at work and appreciate every bite and course. In tasting menus, you worry, will it be enough food? Will I like all the courses? Will I need a hamburger at the end of this? This was the perfect balance of rich and light, full but not engorged. And we can’t leave out the wine! Their 88-bottle wine wall is a sight on its own, but their selection is nothing small or short of impressive. If you have the opportunity, do the wine pairing. As big wine fans, the wines we maybe were hesitant about were perfect with the food they were paired with. Seems intuitive, but often not always the case. All in all, thank you for making this birthday celebration extra special and ‘wow’ing us. We cannot wait to come back again.

My friend chose this restaurant and it was fantastic. We shared appetizers and desserts, which were delicious and I had the crab pasta for a main.
While the service was impeccable and food terrific, I felt it was overpriced compared to other restaurants in town.

To type everything that i enjoyed about the food at this place would take way too long (i got to try my food plus some of each fish in the 5 course menu and everything tasted great), so I’m just going to say that the dungeness crab pasta was the best pasta I’ve ever tasted. Probably second favorite dish was the bread service. You could put that cheese on a flip flop, as they say. The servers were also very lovely and great at their jobs! Highly recommended. Next time I’m trying the burger for sure.
PS – not too much of a wine drinker but the sparkling rose was really light, bubbly, and refreshing!

We had reservations here on a Wednesday night. The restaurant wasn’t too busy. We chose to sit at the kitchen bar.
Service was excellent. The young man waiting on us was very nice in explaining items accurately. He checked back with us frequently and did a great job at bringing food and removing plates.
The food was good…it was just a bit over salted for us. The mushrooms were very good. The breading was a little thicker than we anticipated, and the marinade used must have been the culprit for the salty flavor. The ravioli app, pear salad, churos, and sea bass were all very good and well plated but a little too salted for our taste.
You can’t beat the wine list. We were fortunate to be able to purchase a glass or three of vineyards we plan on visiting. The red wines were served at a great temp but the white was a little too room temp for us.
We would definitely recommend this restaurant for a nice dinner out.

Made a reservation here via OpenTable for a Monday night in January for a friends birthday. He found this spot because it was highlighted on a local KQED show highlighting their special home made pasta experience. Which was something I had to try! Their Happy Hour menu is from 4-6pm and they didn’t expect it to be a busy day but it sure did get busy for a Monday night and our server to great managing all of her tables! My friends got some stuff on the happy hour menu- their pizzas, bread, a burger- margaritas and an old fashioned. I got an espresso martini and I opted for the pasta menu tasting. Which I thought was a good amount of food and portions, by my last pasta I was stuffed! And it ended with a cannoli. Since it was my friends birthday we did the churros and ice cream for dessert. Perfect place to stop by if you’re in the Sonoma Valley for wine tasting or visiting around healdsburg. Great ambiance with tons of seating. There’s plenty of street parking and some lots nearby.

First time eating at this 3 Michelle star resturant. Waiter was good,bus service very slow and No one from the front end staff stopped by our table of 6 to see how our night was going. The starters cheese boards and such were flavorful yet very sparce. Dinners looked and tasted great except for the rolls on the 2 burgers which tastes like left out rolls dry and stale. The 4 deserts were very small, good, but well over priced. Are we glad we went, yes. Would we go back? NOT unless the attention to the things that matter changed. I am sure at one point that this was worth the 3 Michelle stars, but tonight they fell way short. It would have been nice to speak to the front end management team but they never made their way around.

What can I say , I read about tge beginnings of the journey these two brothers took .
Came to Headlesburg to discover their wuest and what they have created .
I was not able to visit Vallette , however I had two evenings visiting Rooftop 106 and Matheison .
Its just awe inspiring entering the space ghwy have created , the atmosphere and ambiance service are outstanding.
I have to mention a young lady Jessica, she runs the front, greeet you and checks you in ,
My observation over the two visits was how hard this young lady was working , cleaning and setting up tables for the next guests besides running the front,the bar was also run by an incredible ypung lady , all the cocktails , I had three were mixed very proffesionaly.
Than the food yhat We ordered was just satisfying, prepped perfectly and presented pleasingly.
What an amazing experience.

Had a lovely experience visiting The Matheson a couple nights ago for dinner. It was late but I hadn’t eaten, showed up maybe 30 minutes before they were officially closed. The staff was super cool and made me feel comfortable staying for as long as I needed. Started off with a superb whiskey sour made the right way with egg whites. Then enjoyed a super tender filet mignon, definitely one of the better steaks I’ve had lately. And then finally had some super fluffy churros with espresso. Will absolutely go back, and I highly recommend visiting if you find yourself in Healdsburg.
