Late December 2025 French American fusion fine dining restaurant within the heart of the Healdsburg town.
Decided to spend my wife’s birthday celebration ✨️ here and they graciously made it a memorable night for our family. From the personalized menu, card, and warm greetings from the staff and the 3rd generation owner Mr Valette we were very much overwhelmed by the hospitality and care that was provided.
Of equal mention is the food which definitely delivered professional standards and is meticulously deliberate in the balance of flavors and ingredients. The menu is very well constructed and pairs well with all the recommendations from our head waiter. Arguably the most notable duck dish we have had in this region. Their scallops are also imaginative as is their sub menu selection of shared dishes. Cocktail are equally well crafted
Their service is integral to the whole dining experience and their staff was definitely up to par as the secret ingredient.
The place harkens back to the depression era which was once started as a bakery and has gone through four generations up to its present evolution to a fine dining establishment. Some of its rustic historical charm still can be keenly felt in the furnishings and large panel mirror.
One does still feel the French provincial influences from the original migrant owners
Truly a culinary gem worth returning to
Reservations are highly recommended
Ideal for special occasions, dates and family gatherings

Dinner at Valette was brilliant! The setting was perfect, the food was fabulous, and the wine was delicious. We ordered the Chef’s Tasting menu and it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. GM Harry Bryan treated us like royalty. Frank is the best server. Valette rocks!

This successful bistro does a great job with locally sourced fresh ingredients. The Halibut is the best preparation I have ever enjoyed. Appetizers are inventive and executed appropriately. Service lacked attentiveness. Empty wine glass, delayed bread service, multiple service providers but not operating seamlessly as a team. The unfinished concrete walls and open rafters combine to create an acousticly noisy ambiance making dinner conversation a challenge.

Ok ok hear me out. The food was so delicious completely forgot to take photos of all the food. Started with the mussels(of which I’m not normally a fan of) but THESE….ohhhh these were amazing. I’m not sure what they did/do, but it needs to never change. Then moved on to the scallops, which were served in this puff pastry(I did get half a picture when it was on my plate) and the presentation is probably half the magic. Then ended with the steak-also delicious. Literally could not go wrong. Drinks happened to both be passionfruit, which found on the sweeter side for our personal taste, but still very good.

I’m not much for fancy food but this place was outstanding. Everything had such great flavors. A bit on the pricey side but as a once and a while treat it is definitely worth it.

Valette did not disappoint! The food was next level — the scallops were perfection and so flavorful, and it was our first time trying Liberty Duck which was honestly such an incredible flavor. The snickers dessert was also mouth watering!!
Our waiter Jacob made the whole night. He was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. His recommendations were spot on, and he made us feel so well taken care of. He never missed a beat! He struck that rare balance of professional and personal.. we never felt rushed, yet everything flowed seamlessly. Thank you Jacob!

What an incredible and unforgettable dining experience! The food was so thoughtfully curated with every flavor and texture perfectly balanced. Portion sizes were generous. The service was impeccable and we felt so well taken care of the entire evening. These brothers are executing on their restaurant mission so well and the chefs are delivering – this was the best showcase of the bounty of the region we’ve experienced in the area so far! Cannot recommend highly enough and we can’t wait to come back.

This restaurant was recommended by friends who visited several years ago. I believe something changed recently as other reviewers pointed out. We had the scallops, halibut, and steak.
1. The bread reminded me a bit of king Hawaiian rolls – it was good, but did not belong in a restaurant of this class (should have been our first hint)
2. The scallops were good – a bit too salty for me, but the presentation and the combination of flavors were spot on. They were perfectly cooked.
3. My pork was flat out bad 🙁 it came with fresh fava beans, which I expected to be at least a bit steamed / cooked – they were not, which clashed with the pork tenderness. The pork chop was tender, but it was also undercooked in some areas – you don’t undercook pork and chicken! I had to cut around the underdone pieces and finally gave up because I wasn’t enjoying the dish anyways. The pork and the beans were over some bean puree and chimichurri-type sauce. There was also a splash of chili oil on the side of the plate. The spice in the chili oil and chimichurri was so overpowering, that I did not taste anything else. Even the chanterelles (which caught my eye and were the main reason I ordered the dish) were flavorless because of the overpowering spice. Our waiter offered to bring me something else, but I was already full on bread and whatever I tried of the dish. He ended up comping the dish for us, which was much appreciated. But the fact remains that it was not good
4. My mom’s halibut was good, but a bit overdone – it was not as tender as halibut normally is.
The atmosphere/ setting was more akin to an upscale bar than a fine dining restaurant. It was fine for me, but – again – not what I would have expected from a restaurant that charges >$40 per entree.

If i could give 10 stars i would. Based on service alone… Add in the flavor and thought of all the dishes served i would need to give this establishment a 50/10. One of the best meals i have had in years. If you are thinking about going to Valette stop thinking, and just go.

Amazing experience. We indulged in their chefs tasting menu, and we’re now proud members of the clean plate club. After each course we thought it couldn’t get better, but it did! Such elevated flavors and an overall well done experience, definitely recommend
