Got a…read moremix of plates including the pork chop special, Pad Thai (lovely), burger (big portions), and ravioli (small portions). Overall the food tasted great but value varied by dish... pad Thai was great value, but ravioli was poor value with only 6 pieces. The desserts were excellent too. We had the chocolate cake and the Meyer lemon panna cotta. Both yummy. Service was good. They were checking on us every few minutes to make sure we had everything. Food came out in a decent time. The noise level was LOUD inside so be prepared. If it's nice out, you can opt in for the outdoor patio area, which might be a bit quieter. Overall, I recommend it for all in the area.

The restaurant itself is a gem - a classic old bar/restaurant style with plenty of local charm, a…read morewarm and welcoming atmosphere, and a wonderfully diverse crowd. Worth noting though: it gets very noisy. The menu offers an interesting mix of Thai and French cuisine - not quite fusion, but rather two distinct menus side by side. Think of it as a safe bet for groups with different cravings. The portions are decent and the prices are in line with typical Bay Area standards - not a bargain, but not outrageous either. Unfortunately, what brought my rating down to three stars was the service. For a relatively simple meal - oysters to start and one entrée each - the pacing was surprisingly slow. We waited nearly 20 minutes for our plates to be cleared, another 10 for the dessert menu, and after an additional 15-minute wait we ended up canceling dessert altogether, as the evening had stretched to two hours and we had a long drive ahead. To be fair, the tables around us seemed to have a smoother experience, so perhaps we caught them on an off night. I'd like to give them another shot, but I'm leaving with mixed feelings that honestly reflect a three-star experience - great bones, but the service needs work.

My 3500th Yelp review goes to...drumroll... Single Thread…read moreRestaurant and Farm in the beautiful town of Healdsburg, CA Our experience at SingleThread on 8/26/26 was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the service was exquisite--from the attentive wait staff to the incredibly knowledgeable sommelier. Our table was beautifully decorated with a centerpiece with branches and flowers and berries that created such a warm and intimate atmosphere--and that was just the beginning! We enjoyed an incredible @ 9-course meal (it was more like 20 IG you count each AMAZING morsel of sashimi) featuring so many unique and exotic varieties of fish, each course beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared. As a pescatarian, I requested that my entire experience be gluten-free and cheese-free, and the team accommodated my request flawlessly. I never felt like I was missing a thing; every dish was creative, flavorful, and beautifully executed! My favorites were the corn bisque and sashimi bites as well as the complex multilayer cucumber dish! I wish I could eat that every night! It was amazingggg Then came the perfect finale After our 9 courses, we were brought upstairs to the rooftop, where we enjoyed three or four different gluten-free desserts while taking in a breathtaking sunset and beautiful views of Healdsburg. It was such a magical way to end an already unforgettable evening. From the food and wine to the service, setting, and attention to every detail, SingleThread delivered an extraordinary experience from beginning to end. Truly a special and memorable evening. We were so lucky to get a reservation and enjoyed every moment of our three hour dinner! I highly recommend coming here when you're in Northern California! The staff is so kind and accommodating!!They will curate your meal around any food allergies or food intolerances. It was true gastronomic debauchery!

Our dining experience at SingleThread on September 6, 2026, was seriously disappointing. For…read morecontext, our party of four had dined at The French Laundry two days earlier, which may have heightened our expectations. That dinner was exceptional and showed us what truly outstanding hospitality can feel like. By comparison, our experience at SingleThread fell far short of the standard we expected from a restaurant of this caliber. The issues began as soon as we arrived. Despite several emails exchanged beforehand and repeated references to personalizing the experience, the staff initially got my name wrong. We were then directed to look through a small kitchen window without any explanation, context, or narrative about what we were seeing. After a few minutes, a small tea drink was served through the window, but we were then left standing in a cramped entry area for roughly 20 minutes with no meaningful interaction from the three people at the desk. During that time, we watched other parties arrive and be escorted elsewhere while no one checked in with us or explained the delay. Eventually, someone from the dining room asked whether we would like to be seated. By that point, I was already frustrated. Once seated, our server quickly described several small dishes arranged on a flower-and-moss-covered faux log, then left before we had any meaningful sense of the menu, the number of courses, or the direction of the meal. When the sommelier arrived and asked us to choose wine or pairings, I felt unable to make an informed decision because I did not know what food was coming. I ultimately chose the wine pairing simply because it seemed like the safest option given the lack of information. The service throughout the evening did not reflect what I would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. There was little storytelling, little hospitality, and very little sense that the experience was being guided with care. A server attempted to clear my plate while my fork and knife were still in my hands. Another server bumped a member of our party with a plate. Most concerning, the staff appeared to lose track of a guest's allergy and served me her plate instead. To be clear, we caught the mistake; the staff did not. That kind of lapse is difficult to overlook. We also consistently had difficulty hearing the descriptions of the dishes as they were presented, which further diminished the sense of connection to the meal. At a restaurant centered so heavily on the progression, story, and precision of each course, that lack of clear communication mattered. The food itself showed creativity, skill, and technique. There were several good courses, a few that felt unusual or less successful, and a couple of truly strong dishes, including the best duck I have had to date. Unfortunately, it was difficult to fully appreciate the food because the service failures were so distracting and so far below expectations. The one clear positive of the evening was the sommelier. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in discussing each pairing and in making recommendations to other members of our party. His service stood apart from the rest of the experience. We will not return. For us, the evening did not feel personal, polished, or worthy of the reputation attached to it. It felt like highly engineered cuisine paired with service that did not meet fine-dining standards. We left The French Laundry two nights earlier talking about every detail with admiration. We left SingleThread frustrated and deeply disappointed.

Adding to the ambience was a live piano player who busted out a Happy Birthday on the ivories during our dessert. The bread was meh, but the sun dried tomato relish(?) that went with it was outstanding. Full bar and cocktails were available, and the wine list was solid. I got the soup taster to start. Mushroom/Spinach soup was decent, heavy on the spinach. Crab bisque was decent, not bad, but I've had better. The French Onion stole the soup show. It was excellent!! My wife got the Seafood Pasta. Large portion and flavorful sauce. They were generous with the seafood as well. A couple full scallops and noticeable amounts of crab, shrimp and lobster. My main was the Ribeye, cooked as I ordered with a tasty Demi-glacé and a veg medley cooked perfectly al dente. My one knock was the Ceasar salad. The added grilled shrimp were a generous quantity & the dressing had a mustard kick that we both liked . The problem was there was just too much of it! After a few bites the Romaine was swimming in it, and everything was a soggy mess. I would suggest ordering the dressing on the side to manage the application.. Peach Cobbler and the lava cake were both solid dessert options. But the 5-starriest component of this great experience was the service. Our waiter Christian was perfectly helpful, attentive, and friendly. Highly recommend!!

The restaurant's large windows provide beautiful waterfront views no matter where you're seated. Our waitress (whose name I unfortunately forgot) was fantastic. She mentioned she'd been there for 14 years, which says a lot in itself. She was friendly, knowledgeable about every dish, and gave us excellent recommendations. I know Caesar dressing contains anchovies, but I was hesitant about having actual fish on my salad. I'm so glad she encouraged me to try the cooked anchovies on the side--they were delicious. Perfectly salty and a great complement to the salad. The pork chop entrée was perfection! The pork was cooked beautifully, and the bread pudding side was just as memorable. I'm not entirely sure what was in it, but it reminded me of garlic bread in the best way. The applesauce was also a nice touch. The halibut was cooked perfectly as well, and the mashed potatoes practically melted in your mouth. For sides, the grilled asparagus was exactly what you'd hope for, and the crispy potatoes lived up to their name, perfectly seasoned with a great crunch. The soup of the day was a creamy spring onion soup with crispy pancetta. Although just as delicious as everything else ordered, its the one plate we wished the portion was bigger for the price it was going for. We've eaten at plenty of restaurants, but this may be the first time where every single thing we ordered--from the entrées to the sides and sauces--was a 10/10. Needless to say, this won't be our last visit. It was absolutely worth it and such a memorable part of our anniversary trip to Bodega Bay.

So I suggested she just take it home and doctor it up (season it) to her liking versus not eating it, which she agreed. She enjoyed her cioppino and my seafood creole was pretty good. If you don't like mushrooms they are in the sauce. I happen to like mushrooms but did not expect to find them in this dish. I had the Butterfly Mimosa, which was really good and I could not taste the alcohol, which I appreciated. Service was prompt and friendly. I will definitley return. It sits in the back right off the water and has a very old time rustic look. There is no air conditioner, but they did have a portable one going. We sat by the window and it was fine when we first arrived but as our lunch went on, it warmed up, even though we dropped the shade. Not a complaint, just something to be aware of. We will return!

DIM SUM! 4.8…read more An ending to our wonderful three-day weekend getaway was made even better with the discovery of Harborview for dim sum. We have our favorite dim sum spot in the South Bay, but we had yet to find a favorite in San Francisco, until now. There's a very famous one in the City where we used to dine, but our last visit left us disappointed. So, we had our fingers crossed for Harborview. Conveniently located in Embarcadero 4, Harborview is next to the Hyatt Regency, just steps from Embarcadero Plaza and directly across the street from the Ferry Building. If you're stopping by for the bar only, and yes, they have Happy Hour (Tuesday-Friday, 4:00-7:00pm), enter from the second floor. There are escalators and an elevator inside the Embarcadero 4 building, which are also convenient options if you're unable to navigate the circular staircase leading to the dining room. The main dining room entrance is on the first floor, with the courtyard facing Drumm Street. After checking in, you'll be guided upstairs to your table. We had made reservations, so our wait was minimal. When our table for two was ready, we made our way through the bustling main dining room to the outdoor patio in the back. Every table was shaded by an array of large, tan umbrellas, making the patio especially inviting on such a beautiful day. When it comes to dim sum, we tend to order the same familiar dishes. We do this intentionally, mainly so we can compare how each restaurant interprets these classic favorites. We ordered: * Baked BBQ pork buns with crunchy sugar crust ~ This is their signature dish, and it was delectable. Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient Tim Ho Wan in Hong Kong makes the benchmark version of this style of bun, but Harborview serves up a very tasty one of its own. * Shrimp har gow dumplings ~ Delicious, with that satisfying, delicate crunch of shrimp when cooked just right. * Glutinous rice and assorted meat wrapped in lotus leaf ~ Well-seasoned, fragrant and wonderfully moist. * Jellyfish cold plate ~ If a restaurant has this on the menu, I'm ordering it. Harborview prepares it beautifully, with just the right amount of spicy kick and that irresistible, crunchy texture that makes jellyfish so enjoyable, somewhat reminiscent of wood ear mushrooms. * Steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce ~ Exceptionally savory and tender. My favorite preparation includes slices of fresh green jalapeño, whereas this version came with red chili peppers. It still had plenty of flavor and heat. * Barbecued pork rice flour rolls * Black truffle & Kurobuta pork dumplings ~ Din Tai Fung still holds the title for my favorite XLBs, but these were a tasty rendition. Overall, every dish was very good. The restaurant was packed and clearly in full swing, yet the service remained attentive and efficient. Plenty of servers were circulating throughout the dining area, so whenever we needed something, it arrived almost immediately. With the gorgeous weather, dining on the patio was the perfect choice. It was noticeably quieter than the bustling interior, and the views added another layer of enjoyment to the meal. I think we may have just found our new favorite dim sum spot in San Francisco.
