Willi's in downtown Healdsburg was a fantastic find after a day of wine tasting at Ridge! The clam chowder was delicious, but the homemade biscuits served alongside it were the real standout--flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious. We shared this with our busser, who was amazing throughout our visit, and he surprised us by sending us home with a small pack of biscuits. Such a thoughtful gesture and one that truly made our day! My favorite dish of the night, though, was the crispy-skin chicken. Perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and that crispy skin took it completely over the top. Great food, thoughtful service, and those little touches that make a meal memorable. Definitely a fantastic stop after a day in wine country! read more

Food was great but tapa style. I had the bacon wrapped scallops, 3 small scallops with a dollop of coleslaw. Yum. They had uni toast not on the menu. It was ok. I prefer Japanese prepared uni but wanted to tray something else. My partner has the charred octopus street tacos. She said it was really good. The service great but there's a 2% BOH fee. I thought that was weird. The ambiance was modern and sultry. read more

Absolutely love this place! The staff is incredibly attentive, friendly and very welcoming The cocktails did not disappoint nor did the wine selection The restaurant is cute inside, but highly recommend opting in for their outdoor patio I recommend passing on the grilled oyster while it looks appetizing. It wasn't very flavorful. Everything else was incredibly good. read more

So happy to have found this gem. Hub and I stopped in for lunch and wow, everything from the service, ambiance and food was superb. We had the steamed mussels and the aji coconut broth was so good I wanted to scoop it with a spoon. Also shared the grilled fish tacos which were fresh and cooked perfectly. I love the kick of habanero mixed with cool and creamy avocado creama. The mango slaw also lended a nice sweetness. read more

Out of all the Starks family restaurants, this is my least favorite and it's a shame I have to say that, because all the other restaurants are so great and I love seafood. Welcomed and friendly hostess, wait staff was attentive, and wonderful outdoor patio that is covered with trees and cool during a warm day. Unfortunately the food was mediocre, lacked flavor, and just did not look appetizing when brought out. They did though have a lot of choices for *GF in which they make alternatives for. read more

Willi's was great! We were seated outside, no wait, in the cutest little courtyard. Our servers were super attentive and kind and really on top of everything. I had this seasonal cantaloupe cocktail that I cannot get out of my head- it was incredible, and I'm actually going to try recreating it at home. The food was good- the oysters were insanely fresh, and we had a mixture of their small plates. The Buffalo oysters and the shrimp were the standouts for us, along with the clam strips. I really liked the miso asparagus, but it was a little too saucy- they could have cut that back a little. We got the calamari as well, not realizing it was coated in the sauce instead of it included as dipping on the side. This made it insanely sweet; the calamari was cooked well but it was too sweet for us, so if you're sensitive to sweet, ask for the sauce to be on the side so you can dip. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend! read more

I adore this place. Last weekend we decided to stay the night in the area so I made reservations here and it did not disappoint! Making reservations was so easy and the woman I spoke with was very accommodating! When we arrived they sat us right away and were prompt on getting our drinks! Our server was hilarious and really on top of it. We ordered the little neck clams in butter and beer broth and wow they are incredible! We also got the little gem salad and the sourdough (this is a must) and we got the daily ceviche which was halibut with peppers. My partner got the hanger steak and it was cooked to perfection. She only gave up one bite to me but boy was it good! In the past we have also had the kale Caesar, the clam strips, yellow tail ceviche, and fresh oysters. I have not had a bite of food there that I did not enjoy. The place is shaped a little weird and some seats are more desirable than others. We love the booth (you pretty much have to make reservations to get one) but it is worth mentioning that we are both pretty average size people (maybe a bit more than average if I'm being honest) but anyone who is on the bigger side probably wouldn't fit in the booth. It's a really tight squeeze getting into them because they have these little wall things that come out a tad too far. It is great people watching from there though! They also have beautiful outdoor seating! Overall this is 5 stars for me. If you love seafood and good service you have to check this place out! read more

We made an early reservation for Valentine's Day. The restaurant has two bar areas, an indoor dining area and an outdoor patio which was super cute. We were seated in the upper level at a table with a Birdseye view. Started with an espresso martini ( so good he ordered another) and a dirty martini which was perfectly dirty. We had bbq'd oysters and buffalo fried oysters. The buffalo ones have a kick so be prepared. The bread with garlic herbed butter was also mouthwatering. Served hot and the perfect amount of crisp edges and soft insides. Then the star of the show was the dungeons crab salad on this buttery toasted roll. We had to contain ourselves not to get another. So we tried the crab cake instead. Also absolutely melt in your mouth goodness. Go, splurge.. it's so worth it. read more

This place was just alright. No wow factor. I came in a group of 12 so we tried most of what's on the menu but none of them stood out to any of us. Presentation of the food were nice, especially the fried oysters, but I could find many other places with both nice presentation and flavor that hooks me in. Oysters were good as always. The grilled Mahi Mahi tacos came out after everyone else was done with their meal and the fish was dry. read more

What went well this day? Everything. Lucky me enjoyed a patio table and a lovely server. Friendly and professional. The patio was just right for enjoying one of our warm spring days. Checked out the menu and a new appetizer addition jumped out at me. Lobster. Take half of it, remove from shell. Cut it into bite sized chunks. Mix it up with tasty dressing and you have yourself something special! Finish that off with a slice of dulce de leche cake and know that life is good. read more

Quick lunch break. We sat outside so we were kinda out of sight out of mind. The food though was good. It was a bit expensive so we ended up ordering small bites instead. I mean we are in Heladsburg so things are pricier. Bathroom situation is not ideal. You have to go in another building for it but it was manageable. read more

This place was an unexpected surprise. It was a recommendation from a local and she knew what she was talking about. Cute outdoor space with efficient and friendly service. We started with a dozen amazing West Coast oysters along with a ceviche and they were spectacular. And then we had an octopus Taco and a butterfish entree. To say they were delicious and original is an understatement we loved it we will make it a point to be back next time we are here read more

My husband and I walked in and were seated without issue. After our server greeted us we sat for over 15 minutes without anybody coming back to take our order. After what we seemed was a minor oversight we decided to ask the hostess about our server not being present but she was rude and dismissive. Unfortunately it's apparent this restaurant doesn't train their staff properly or is just not service oriented. This was all when the restaurant was pretty much empty. It was such a disappointment since we had heard such positive feedback on the food. Wish we could have tried the restaurant but I guess the servers we just too busy for us. read more

Had a delicious lunch with friends. Seemed like we ordered everything on the menu. Ceviche, crudo, crab cakes, shrimp tacos, fried calamari with chilies, little pork ribs, fabulous tomato with goat cheese and a little gem salad with pecans and blue cheese. Did I leave anything out? It was all delicious. Service was impeccable. Wish I lived closer so we could find more often. We ate everything on front of us. Yum. read more

We made a last minute reservation here and are so happy we did. Our server, Franklin, was delightful, knowledgeable and funny. We ordered the kale salad, the lobster by the pound, a crab cake and Maui Mahi tacos. Everything was excellent! I wanted to order more lobster but really wanted to try multiple items. Nothing disappointed. Please open one in Napa!!! read more

We love Willi's and try to go every time we are in town, and every time we go we remember why we love it so much. The cocktails are always great and the food is always exceptional. We tried the warm bread with garlic butter this time and it was melt in your mouth amazing. We loved it so much we took the butter to go! All the other food we got was equally delicious--the crispy chicken and spicy shrimp were my favorites and our friends raved about the ribs. Our server was really friendly and took great care of us (even giving us extra butter to take with us), and he laughed right along with us. Usually we sit outside but it was too cold so we enjoyed a cozy booth inside which was very private and made for a different experience than we've had before. I HIGHLY recommend Willi's so put it at the top of your list if you're in town. read more

We've heard of this spot for a few months now. Came to town to visit a close friend, so of course we needed to hit up a local spot! The food was amazing! Steak, clam chowder and the drinks were 10/10. But what really did it was Avery. He's an amazing server who went above and beyond to accommodate our never ending requests! Truly the best server!! We will be back! read more

Sadly my guest's oysters included a bad one and she spent the next 24 hours in horrible condition. This occurred mid-January 2026. Rest of meals were fine. They need to pay closer attention especially later in evening. read more

This was my first time ever dining at this particular establishment and goodness was I ever impressed! Everything was fresh crisp, and had a delicious flavor! Their sauces and the freshness of the seafood was over the top! I'm surprised Hillsboro isn't right next to the ocean!! I loved sitting outside in their little courtyard, dining area, and they had a good size bar, as well as an indoor wraparound dining area with booths in the back Our server was incredibly helpful and kind, and the food came out rather quickly!! Each dish was one taste bite after the next, and we enjoyed the mahi-mahi appetizer as well as crabcakes and those amazing little oysters were the best I've ever had!! Maybe because they were smaller they didn't have as much grime or sand, but they had a delicious fresh flavor to them!! The sauce was even more impressive and the flavor the sauce would give the dish was over the top!! I truly can't wait to come back!! They also have an adorable downtown area and I can't wait to come back here to go shopping! read more

Visiting family took us out to lunch here a week or so ago. We shared some of the tapas dishes. All of them were delicious! My favorites were the fried calamari, and sole with sautéed spinach. The others in our party loved the butterfish and oysters. Kale salad was good too. We sat outside and had a lovely time. Service was excellent. Thank you! read more

Really enjoyed the food and ambiance. Good service and decent prices. The lobster roll wasn't out of of this world but still very good. Next time I'll try something more unique off their menu because there were so many interesting choices that sounded delicious. The ahi tuna, oysters and even the sour dough bread and butter were fantastic. Thanks Avery for the good service and suggestions. read more

Food: 4/5 Ordered the crab cake to go. The meat tasted fresh, perfect amount of seasoning and breading. Did not taste greasy or chewy. The sauce that comes with it is delicious, and perfect amount of vinegar/tang from the topping. Service: Ordered to pick up, took about 15 min. Ambiance: Ordered to pick up but seemed lively, lots of seating. read more

We came here with a group last week. The service was the real problem, with long waits for the dishes -- and inexplicably, a huge wait for bread. The wait was such that one member of the party got food 15 mins after anyone else. The food itself was quite flavorful and good. The octopus tacos were really top notch as were the other tacos we had. The other dishes were good but not as memorable. Perhaps if they fixed the service issues, this place would be great. read more

Any stop I make in Healdsburg I make sure I have at least one meal at Willi's. The bread and butter dish along with their bacon wrapped scallops are 2 must order dishes every time I stop by. The scallops only come with 3 standard but you can opt to add a 4th. I highly recommend adding a 4th. I have had their ceviche and tartar in the past and was also super impressed. I didn't order either on my most recent visit so I won't go into much detail. The espresso martini I had on my most recent visit was very well balanced and didn't give you too much of a jittery feeling afterwards. Overall this is an amazing spot and we will visit many more times. read more

My friend and I stopped in for lunch, where I thoroughly enjoyed the culinary offerings. I opted for the spinach salad, which was enhanced by a warm bacon dressing, goat cheese, and crunchy almonds--an excellent combination. My companion chose the almond-crusted sole, which was impressively tender and perfectly seasoned. We also shared a side of French fries topped with goat cheese and ranch dressing, which complemented our dishes well. While the food was undeniably delicious and well-prepared, I must note a slight oversight in service. Our French fries were initially forgotten, and throughout our visit, the staff did not refill our water or check on our satisfaction. Overall, they provided a delightful meal, but attention to service details could enhance the dining experience further. Sorry, no pictures. I ate the food because I was starving and it was delicious. read more

Lucious lobster, the freshest opulent oysters, and creamy, dreamy clam chowder with savory crackers! These delicious small plates and more keep me returning to Willi's Seafood and Raw Bar whenever I am in the Sonoma wine country! In the mood for some unique and mouth-watering food, spectacular ambiance, and over the top customer service? This is the ticket! Located just off the popular Healdsburg plaza, Willi's is a well-known restaurant frequented by locals and tourists alike. All are vying for an outside table or an intimate seat inside to relax, embibe, and share in a top-notch culinary experience with all the "trimmings"... beautiful environment and service befitting royalty. The food is the star and pinnacle of the show! The menu is complete with so many interesting items. All made for sharing. Whether you are with a group or fewer, it is so much fun to select a dish always created in the most amazing and innovative style with the highest quality of seasonal ingredients. That has always been my experience at Willi's. The clam chowder and Kumamoto oysters are ALWAYS two items I must have. And a glass (or two:) of the Shramsberg sparkling wine!!! Then, depending upon my mood, other dishes will be selected. You can not go wrong with any choice. Ever! I have mentioned the wonderful ambiance. You truly have to experience it to feel the magic fully. A sunny day on the patio, a night with dazzling lights and heat lamps, or inside with all the festivities of many diners. It is all great. The customer service experience is definitely elevated! These people are long-time staff who know how to woo and wow the guest. And I have always been wowed. Everyone is a VIP at Willi's. Including your pooch.:) Heading to Healdsburg in the near future? Make those reservations now so you, too, may experience one of the best of the best, overall, creative dining outings ever. Tip: Chocolate chunk banana bread pudding...add a scoop of vanilla ice cream... TDF!:) Thanks, Willi's, for all the memorable eating adventures. Oh...and those future ones too:). Cheers! read more

I'm not sure why this restaurant gets good reviews. First, the positive, it has a nice outdoor dining area on Healdsburg Avenue. Avoid eating inside--looks like decor was last updated in 1975. Limited menu--no real "seafood" entries. I ordered the mahi mahi tacos, thinking it was an entree acoompanied by something. Two very small tacos were delivered--before anything else, including wine. $20. Service was poor. Frankly I think they just take for granted that tourists will show up and don't try very hard. I will not eat there again. read more

My first visit to Wiili's with my wife and good friends and we sat outside on a warm weekend evening. The staff accommodated our early arrival to our reservation and we never felt rushed the entire evening. The bbq oysters we started with were very flavorful and warm, served on a bed of rock salt. The warm bread was perfect for dipping with the mussels with broth. The tomato salad with balsamic glaze was a hit. Great drink recommendations. Professional friendly staff. See you again. read more

The server was great! Funny, attentive, knowledgeable. The food was ok. Had better clam chowder. Mahi tacos were average. Steak was tasty, but pretty small. Octopus a little chewy. Prices were too much for what we got. $270 for lunch for 4? And for just ok food? Thanks, lots of other choices around. Live & learn. read more
