The ambience is warm and inviting, the food is creative and consistently delicious, and the staff always make you feel genuinely welcome. It's the kind of place that makes our small community feel extra special, and we feel lucky to have such a unique, high-quality spot locally. My favorite is the burrata small plate with fried saltines and sardines -- such an unexpected and delicious combination! Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, and you can really taste the quality and creativity in the menu. Whether you stop in for drinks, small plates, or a full meal, The Beet always delivers a wonderful experience.

Came through this small town after 10 days on the road from Seattle to San Francisco what a delight…read morethe food is very good. It was surprisingly quiet on a Saturday at lunch time. Started with the baked Brie and wild mushrooms and some olives and almonds. It was a delicious take on baked Brie. After that I had roast chicken with fennel kale and polenta. The combination was excellent. For desert we had home make cheese cake with raspberry sauce it was light and fluffy a perfect texture and flavor. The only way it could be improved would be espresso after.

We had an amazing Wine Tasting at Maison Healdsburg on a Saturday in July 2025! When we were here…read moretwo years ago they had just opened and while we tasted some incredibly well-aged wines, it felt like we were in a friend's kitchen. This time, they have classes it up and it is an attractive place to hang out. They have top-shelf glassware, interesting and satiating cheese plates, and put on a Blind Wine Tasting that was enlightening, educational, and enjoyable! The owners are very knowledgeable and eager to impart their wisdom in a non-threatening and collegial manner that invites further discussion and questions and made for an equally interesting experience for wine knowledgeable and wine novice alike. A fun time was had by all and we will definitely be back again soon!

Our waitress was super friendly, she welcomed us in and made sure we found a drink that we'd love, she let us try sips before committing. I got wine and my gf got sake.

I visited Willi's in Santa Rosa with moderately high hopes based on so many wonderful reviews…read more Service seemed friendly, efficient, and courteous, and I was excited to try some new tasties! After receiving my salad and beverage though, service all but disappeared. After 25-ish minutes and finally realizing I hadn't seen my server in a while, I managed to flag down another member of the staff (not my server) who kindly offered to check for me, and who returned with the disappointing news that no such item had ever been ordered. Spoiler alert: it had definitely been ordered :( Had anyone at all checked in on me after the salad arrived, I would have inquired about the main I was waiting for and we would have figured this all out relatively quickly - and I probably would have left a more satisfied customer. (I should also note that the salad and the drink were both good, so I was looking forward to the rest.) Instead, I just asked for the check - and I left still hungry and rather disappointed. To add to the weirdness, the server gave me someone else's check at first, with many more items ordered than my drink and salad. I mention it to help characterize the unfortunate misfire vibe. Respect to the servers, I know they're working hard and there are a ton of things that contribute to situations like this - maybe an off night, maybe a gap in training, maybe unexpectedly slammed... maybe something else entirely - but regardless, Yelp is for reviewing one's experience with a business. My experience at Willi's was a bummer, and I am not sure I'll bother going back.

About 25% of the labels were local offerings while the rest spanned the rest of California, Italy, France, and other countries. They had some excellent producers: Waits-Mast, Occhipinti (Sicily), Marcel Lapierre (Beaujolais), etc. Retail prices were really reasonable as well. You can open any bottle for retail + $10 corkage, which is a nice option if you want to share a bottle or two among friends. They have a small selection of bites--marinated olives come with each corkage paid--mainly cheese and charcuterie focused, however when the Cafe is open, it's possible to order a small selection of bites from the Cafe as well, which is a really cool option. I heard if the cafe is a bit slow, they'll even allow ordering off the full menu. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. We'll definitely pop in again on our next trip out to the coast.
