Barndiva Healdsburg Reviews
The service was a 10.
Our waiter was perfect. The vibe was also solid. Eclectic building/decor but it all worked. Very cool. There were 6 at my table. We all enjoyed what we ordered; however, I was hoping for great food + for the prices. Ex: we ordered the Oysters. In

Amazing food, amazing ambiance, amazing staff - wonderful evening. My brother and SIL were visiting Sonoma from Dallas for their 40th wedding anniversary. Our last night in Healdsburg we went to Barndiva for dinner. Best meal and experience we had t
Expected more from a Michelin Star restaurant.
The good: warm ambiance with thoughtful decor. The chilled corn soup and entrees were delicious. Fresh and taste was on point. The bad: our server was more interested in pushing cocktails than answering questions about the menu. He wasn't a

Went to dinner at Barndiva over Valentine's Day weekend, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Healdsburg. It was a cold night, but as soon as we walked in, the space felt warm, welcoming, and romantic--exactly what we were
What a treat.
It was hands down the best meal I have had in forever. We had the Salmon Tartare and the Little Gem salad, then the bucatini and the steak frites. Finished with the Peach Cobbler. So amazing that we did not leave one single spec on the plates. And th

Exceptional food freshness happy dance in my belly and tongue. I believe an absolute must . So much went on it 2x ! Love
This place was delicious.
At first, nothing on the menu immediately stood out, so we let our lovely server guide us and she nailed it with the jumbo asparagus, goat cheese croquettes, and house extruded bucatini pasta. The pasta was by far my favorite, especially on a hot day
Book ahead before you arrive- a gem!
What a delight! We had seen the restaurant in the Michelin guide and it did not disappoint! The flavour profiles of the food were spot on and the wine we chose paired brilliantly with the food! Definitely recommend!

Cozy little spot--nothing over the top, but it delivered exactly what we needed for a relaxed evening. The food was simple, fresh, and flavorful. Service was warm and attentive without being intrusive. A nice place to unwind and enjoy a low-key meal

Barndiva used to be our favorite spot when visiting Healdsburg, but this recent visit was disappointing. The new venue lacked the charm we remembered, and the food didn't live up to past experiences. The glass of wine I ordered was noticeably sh
The food here is just okay.
The wine was mediocre. Nothing spectacular. We had deviled eggs (which were the best of everything we ordered), goat cheese balls, salad, salmon and flourless chocolate cake. There are so many good restaurants in Healdsburg. To me, this one lacke

Our first visit to Sonoma and I had to hit up all the foodie spots. After mixed reviews on Barndiva I wanted to be open minded. Based off the history this restaurant has served. My experience was fine but I can't say anything memorable about it.

Somehow it took us almost a year to visit Barndiva again and I don't know why. We had the most delicious dinner recently outside in their beautiful back space, under the wisteria. We couldn't find any reservations online for a weeknight di
Michelin Dining in Healdsburg
We have made Barndiva a dining destination for many years and were not disappointed this weekend. My husband always orders the steak frites and claims they serve the best fries anywhere. The wine list is broad and deep with some good values. We often
Disappointing dinner in Healdsbirg.
The rules of this establishment are totally ridiculous. Would not allow 2 parties of 4 to sit together even though the place was empty. Also. One person in our party was not served her second drink as they said she was too drunk. Totally not the ca

Have been trying to get a reservation when in town for a few years. Now I know why it was so easy this time. Their concept change along with location flip with their actual barn venue was disappointing. Food was ok- but not the Michelin-worthy dining
A must-see space with excellent food.
What an experience! This is one of the best designed restaurants I’ve ever been in, and I’d have to say my favorite dining space. I’ve dined in many awesome restaurants in the US and abroad. The creativity and love that went into Barndiva is in

The only thing great was the service.
We went here 2 years ago after our wedding in Healdsburg and it was wonderful. THIS IS NOT THAT RESTAURANT! It was set up as a much more casual bistro style restaurant riding on the coat tails of what Barndiva once was. The steak I ordered was over

I have to agree with other recent reviewers that this is not the Barndiva that I favorably remembered from years past. The new setting is so casual, a far cry from the beauty of the barn setting of old. Babies crying in the middle of the space, distu
Barndiva received a Michelin star, but I'm not sure why.
The food was ok at best. We got the steak and fried chicken. The chicken breast was dry. The steak was covered in sauce. The plating presentation was lacking. The service was medicore at best, which is unfortunate because they automatically charge a

This was the first time I've been to a Michelin star
This was the first time I've been to a Michelin star restaurant and had a really good, stripped down meal without having to eat at least five courses and a wine pairing. This year, Barndiva went back to an al la carte, back to its roots style menu.

We had a excellent dinner here - our fourth time in the past few months. Lily, our server, had a great sense of humor - her jokes were on point and her service was great. Emily, the sommelier, always has great recommendations and rinses the wine gl
Amazing Dinner Spot in Downtown Healdsburg!
We had an amazing dinner here! I had the trout along with a Smith Story Souvingon Blanc! The wine and food were both absolutely amazing! My husband loved the wine so much that he got a glass for himself. As an appetizer, we got hummas and bread. So
Nice setting aside from the rather loud music, but
Nice setting aside from the rather loud music, but disappointing meal considering the price point. Very limited menu, only one or two entrees of interest. My partner and I both got the steak frites ($38). Steak was good if overcooked per my reque
The food was mediocre at best.
The service was terrible and not professional for restaurant of caliber. Menu was very limited and skewed towards Indian cuisine even though not portrayed as an Indian restaurant.
I don't even know what just happened.
This was not the Barndiva I remembered. The location we ate in tonight was a door down from the actual beautiful restaurant. It was a megshift pop up style building that had no ambiance. The service was sterile and the food was not good. Bucatini was
One word describes how I feel - disappointed.
It's been many years since I last dined at Barndiva and have always considered it a special place. When it received a Michelin star in 2021 and again in 2022, I knew it was well earned. I was happy that they survived the pandemic and was really looki

4 stars, spot on! Really beautiful experience and the food is darn good. I didn't love the limited menu although that is a choice and usually leads to more focus and consistency which we felt. The bucatini was bonkers and the star of the night. Es
The service was great.
Food was good but one was quite heavy. - Turkish bread was my favorite dish of the meal. It's made fresh and served warm. The hummus was light, velvety. - Goat cheese croquettes: the batter wasn't thick, the cheese was light. - Trout rillettes: It's

Whoever gave this establishment a Michelin star needs to swiftly take it back. The food was good but not great, the ambience was no better than chain restaurant, and the service also left so much to be desired. Celebrating my husband's birthday and a
This is a gem of a restaurant in Healdsburg.
The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the service is outstanding. They offer an a la carte menu, so you don't need to do the $120 p/p tasting. Generally, I thought the price:quality ratio was very good. The cocktail was also exxxxxcellllent! If I

Very disappointed with this dinner.

Barndiva has taken a dive.
Had to order Taco Bell later. Barndiva? Two word review for this one: barn crap.
Barndiva doesn’t live up to its star.
For our last dinner in Healdsburg we headed to Barndiva. Given it had one Michelin star, we had high hopes for an outstanding dining experience. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The service was indifferent bordering on sullen. The food was disap
Underwhelmed
Certainly high expectations for a Michelin rated restaurant carrying the price tag. This did not meet the mark. Seated 2 at a 4 top where tables had a one inch lip between,which was forgivable out of the gate. View of inside versus outside was odd; a
Disappointing visit to bar
We’ve been coming to Barndiva for 7 or 8 years. There have been ups and downs though mostly downs even before Covid in terms of the menu and execution at lunch and dinner. We’ve never had an issue with the bar though. Until now. In the pas
Yo Yo Evening
This restaurant has always been a favourite of mine in Healdsburgh. This was our first visit post Covid and there were some changes, namely the introduction of a prix fix menu of 4 courses, with approximately two choices per course. Personally I am
Excellent restaurant all round
This was a fantastic experience. Excellent service without being over the top. The 4 courses were rich and diverse in flavour. Highly recommended restaurant when in Sonoma.
Eh, fine - easy to get better in Healdsburg
Good drinks, solid food, service indifferent at best. Agreed with the group afterwards that bits and pieces were wonderful - cocktails started at $18 but were solid and heavily poured, so no quibbles there. Space is lovely though a bit overheated a
Beautiful location, tasty food, indifferent service
We were very excited to brunch here but sadly weren’t all that impressed by the end. The room is beautiful and we loved the decor. The cocktails were tasty and so was the brunch - however I will say we expected more for the price. The Benny was

This restaurant has definitely changed since the last time we visited... and not for the better. When we last dined at Barndiva, there was an excellent a la carte menu along with a very knowledgable somm. Now, we were greeted with a very lackluster p
Not worth the visit. Eat elsewhere. Least impressive Michelin star we’ve ever dined..
We have dined at Michelin star restaurants around the globe and have always trusted this rating, as our experiences were always phenomenal. Yesterday at Barndiva was a huge disappointment. - Our dishes lacked sophistication, surprise, or the eleva
Beautiful casual and delicious Sunday brunch excellently
Beautiful casual and delicious Sunday brunch excellently and politely served for my birthday!
My real score is 3.
5.My biggest problem with Barndiva is that it's priced like a restaurant that it aspires to be, not the restaurant that it is. Our bill for two people was $475 (including tip) and here is my hot take. Service:Service was good. Very normal. Server was
This restaurant really should not be rated high or given a Michelin rating.
There's not much of a selection on the menu for you to chose from. Mostly burgers which were messy and buns falling apart due to buns soaking onto the juicy barbecue sauce. Wished I did not ordered the burger. It was too juicy and pricey. The Pa
Beautiful space, but the enjoyment stopped there.
Service was acceptable, not great. Ordered lobster and some appetizers. All the apps tasted the same and lobster was not of good quality and was over cooked. Wouldn't go back.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Barndiva Healdsburg at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Barndiva Healdsburg page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Barndiva Healdsburg to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Barndiva Healdsburg!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
