Restaurants near Starling's Rest of Northern Alexander Valley

It had been a while since we had had dinner at DCK, even though we live in town. What a great dining experience we had. First, DCK still waives corkage on Sonoma wines. Nice support for local vintners. Second, our server, Maria, was perfect. All 4 of us noticed that she hit the sweet spot between very attentive and not pulling up a fifth chair. She was charming, conversational, articulate about the menu options, and clearly interested in the quality of our experience. Third, not one bite of food was other than perfect. The portions were so generous that we’ll be getting a second meal from the things we brought home. My Liberty duck was excellent and the clam chowder soup was one of the most exquisite takes I have had. Not too creamy, not too thick, lots of clams cooked perfectly, and very flavorful. The mushroom dish with a parmigiana emulsion was raved about as were the chicken and steak entrees. A perfect dinner right there. Then came desserts. I loved my cheesecake. My wife loved her poached pear which was beautifully presented and delicious. The fixed price of $75 per person might seem high to some, but it was more than fair for the quality and quantity of food and the perfect service. We will be back much sooner after this experience.

Fantastic experience! Service outstanding. Food delicious. Just adore the entire team. And best recent meal in Healdsburg in a long time! Bravo!

We enjoyed our food and time at Rustic. Always seem to gravitate there for our special occasions.

Had an awesome dining experience, as always! Amazing food and drinks, friendly and attentive staff

From the initial booking to the picture taking at the end of our night… 11/10 hand down! Food and drinks were superb, service was perfect and the ambiance set the birthday celebration tone we needed. Cheers to The Matheson letting us HAVE it!!! Fabulous
