    Goat Cheese Croquettes
    Sara Z.

    We came here for dinner on a weeknight. This is a smaller menu than some other spots in Healdsburg but almost everything was great. The restaurant really is set up like an upscale barn, and the decor is amazing. We shared three starters, the goat cheese croquettes, harvest salad with oranges, and white bean hummus. The croquettes were tiny but very flavorful. They have lavender on top but it's subtle and not overpowering. I loved the salad with 3 types of citrus. The hummus was good, but needed more bread and vegetables for dipping. It wasn't anything special and I may skip it unless you really like hummus. I ordered the burger and would not recommend it. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't great either. The description said it had caramelized onions and cheese inside the burger, but all I tasted was the wine sauce (which was good) and meat. The cheese sprayed out when I cut into it, so even scraping it up, I didn't get a lot of flavor from it. And the bread was too hard and tough for cutting, so I didn't even eat it. It does come a la carte, so I ordered the Persian cucumber that came with it and that was amazing, highly recommend, it's a little spicy and minty, just bursting with flavor. The service was very good. My friend ordered decaf coffee and they brought out another cup free of charge for our other friend to enjoy. However, I did ask the server what to get for my entree and she steered me wrong!!

    Tuna tartare

    Ambiance was great! We sat outside and it was nice and quiet - not a ton of tables outside so request ahead of time. Service and food were also great.

    Halibut

    What a great place! Food was so yummy!! The staff is friendly and the decor is warm and romantic . The Halibut was outstanding!

    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. The only dish we chose on our own was the tikka masala, and I would definitely recommend passing on that one. Our server was funny, friendly, and attentive. The interior was super cute too. And we can't forget the yummy cocktails, topped with the cutest little flowers.

    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. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. Good flavors, good quality meats but the burger was very messy to eat and the fries were not crispy. The inside is adorable and the staff is kind! I came from 4 wine tastings, so I was sad to skip a cocktail with this meal. I needed that break! I'm still happy I got to visit Barndiva. It sounds like maybe it just lost something over the years and I hope that spark comes back soon!

    Went to Barndiva on the recommendation of a colleague and I'm so glad I did! The restaurant was extremely charming, from the black and white films projected on the wall by the bar to the antler chandelier in the middle of the room. My husband got a cocktail and I got a glass of wine. I did mention my severe allergies to apple and pear early on, and the server came back and told me what drinks and food to avoid, but the cocktail my husband got was not an "avoid" and it did have apple, so just double check upon receipt! I really enjoyed my glass of chilled red. The food was amazing. Everything we ate was delicious. We got the white bean hummus starter (pictured) and shared the crispy chicken and steak frites. Would highly highly recommend the chicken, the flavors were incredible. We will be back on our next visit to Healdsburg!

    Came by this Michelin star restaurant in Healdsburg for brunch while spending a couple nights in Sonoma County. Barndiva is set in a barn like atmosphere, and features nightly pre fixe dinner and weekend a la carte brunch. There is both an indoor dining space as well as a beautiful courtyard in the back that is dog friendly. We made reservations the night before, for a party of two. Checking in at the restaurant was a breeze and the host escorted us to a table in the outdoor courtyard while also helping us set up a heater. The à la cart menu is geared primarily towards individual dishes, but there are a few shareable items. Several of the brunch items are also easily shareable themselves. Pastry board: great shareable, consisting of three pastries that seemed freshly made and delicious Croque Madame: beautifully presented, rich in flavor, very filling Steak frites: seasoned well, and very tasty steak. However, we ordered medium rare, and the steak was cooked with inconsistency throughout the meat with parts being more rare Barndiva farm apple pie: beautifully made small pie that's easy to share. Not overly sweet and pairs nicely with the ice cream it comes with Overall, we had a really lovely brunch experience. Other than the inconsistently cooked steak everything was fantastic. For a Michelin starred restaurant, Barndiva brunch is accessible for under $100 a person makes for a pleasant afternoon spot.

    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. And it did not disappoint. I highly recommend the steak, masala, and the trout ceviche. The trout was the most fresh I've been had. So much better than ahi tuna! The masala was a unique menu item. It wasn't very spicy, but was delicious and contrasted the other meals we had. The cocktails here are also experimental, and reminded me of high end speakeasy's. Also really dig the ambiance and service here. The walls are tall with dim lighting, and our waiter was awesome. Price point was better than I expected for a prestigious restaurant. Will definitely come back when I do wine tasting in this area again.

    Monte Cristo Sandwich - quite heavy, but tasty
    Melissa K.

    We had a nice time dining here for lunch... Pros- food, quite tasty. The dessert melted in my mouth and was by far my favorite bite! Mocktails were also yummy! Service was great - friendly, attentive staff. Cons- parking is tough! I drove around the blocks several times before finding a spot. If you have reservations, add in time to secure parking before your meal time! While the food was tasty, outside of the cake, there's nothing that stood out as must come back for.... It's rough, Napa Valley is rich with amazing restaurants! My Napa Valley list has over 100 spots, so while I'm happy we tried it, not sure I'd come back for a full meal. Dessert, 100%, but I'll likely pick another list spot to dine.

    Sesame Chicken Salad!
    Billy M.

    Decided to have brunch at Barndiva after all the rave reviews and articles saying this is a must stop Barndiva has an elegant upscale farmhouse vibe. The interior is marked by warm medium tone browns and wire sculptures decorate the walls. The see through wine walls tells you this place is serious about their vino. The has several wine choices from bubbly to red. Also their cocktail selection was inventive with lots of their own takes on classic choices. I wanted to try more than a few. We sampled the following: -Reuben Benedict -Sesame Chicken Salad -Strawberry Mimosa -Sleeping Dog (Gincentric Cocktail) -Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice cream Everything was delicious!!! The Reuben Benedict was definitely the table favorite. Very flavorful but also very balanced. The side salad provided a nice palate cleanser. Also the Sleeping Dog was also very good if you are a Gin and Tonic drinker. Service was top notch and prompt. Overall great experience! Highly recommend!

    Trout croquettes
    Vy T.

    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 very rich, the deep fried bread stick came with it made it very greasy and heavy - The roasted trout with onion sauce was very good - Chicken paillard: the chicken was thin, breaded, came with great herb-y sauce on top. It's good - My husband got a cocktail and really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the dinner and would recommend it.

    Sleeping Dogs
    James R.

    Now, if you are reading this, this is only a review for their bar program as I was only here for drinks. With 1 Michelin star, I would certainly return for the food. But I was here for libations. And libations were had by I. When you walk and and see the bar, you will certainly notice all of the flora adorning the bar-top. These are all feature in their cocktails in one way or another. They even have little paper place cards telling you the name of some of the botanical bounty featured on the bar. My partner ordered a nice glass of Burgundy Chardonnay and I started with their Sleeping Dogs, a take on a Spanish style of Gin and Tonic. Many of their fresh flowers and herbs made their way into this beverage. Oh, I forgot to mention that this was made by Mr. Daniel from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was the perfect mix of calm energy, drink knowledge, and being personable. I then ordered the Strawberry Orange Fizz. Normally, I stick to whiskey drinks but I was just in a gin mood that day. Both of these cocktails were a) beautiful and b) delicious. Not wanting to be wasted during the day after sharing a bottle of wine at lunch, I stopped at 2 drinks, but I certainly wanted to stay. I would certainly return here. Thanks, Daniel!

    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

    Are kids welcome?

    There were a few kids when I had went, a number of dogs too including ours as well

    Are you doing Thanksgiving take home dinner?

    Can you get away without a reservation? Is there bar seating?

    You probably can go in without a reservation, but be ready to wait or go to another restaurant. Barndiva is close to many other places. It wouldn't be a big deal to have to walk to another restaurant if they won't seat you.

    Do you allow dogs? I see on BringFido it says Yes and Yelp says no.

    We brought our yorkipoo 3 weeks ago and had lunch in their backyard.

    Do they have brunch on Saturday?

    No. Try Geyserville Grill -THE BEST BRUNCH!

    Are there gluten free options?

    Yes, excellent Gluten Free options. Especially on the brunch menu.

    What's the dress code?

    Resort casual. Casual. Very unpretentious, kid friendly, dog friendly. Not fancy but fantastic! If that makes sense.

We were greeted with glasses of champagne, a special menu with our anniversary mentioned on the top, and an anniversary card. All of that was so special and unique which made us feel so welcome! We chose to do the "trust me" chef's dinner. It was a surprise for every dish. This was my first time trying bone marrow and now I am a huge fan. I will say the snickers style dessert was overwhelmingly sweet and I just couldn't finish it. My one problem with how they list it on the menu is "$20 per course". I didn't like thinking about how a somewhat skimpy salad equals out to $20. I think it sounds a bit better to say it's a $100 experience, which sounds like a better way to explain it. This was a fun experience and I enjoyed most of the items but I would not do this again. I feel some of the courses were a little lack luster and I would rather spend a bit more to do a different experience somewhere else.

It's true that one could purchase a serviceable used car for what it costs to dine for two when including basic wine pairings. If dropping $2k on dinner and wine seems like an absurd or rapacious proposition, SingleThread certainly isn't for you. If on the other hand it seems like a rounding error or a perfectly reasonable leisure tariff, you're probably going to love every last minute of it. Because the meal was so elaborate, I won't go into detail other than to say it was brilliant. Out of the dozens (literally) of dishes we sampled, only one was poor; it had clearly been over-salted by accident. Otherwise, every moment of the evening was pure, flawless bliss. One thing that I could be persuaded to agree with is that the overall volume of food is a tad too much. They could easily do with one less savory dish and the elimination of the second round of desserts. As it stands, I walked out feeling somewhat uncomfortably full. First world problems though, right? All things considered, SingleThread is a grand slam home run in nearly every respect. And that includes the warm and highly attentive service, the lovely interior architecture, and the welcoming rooftop garden. I will not hesitate to recommend this amazing culinary oasis to friends and family for a long time to come.

My niece told her "don't touch me." This staff person then went inside the restaurant and my niece heard the employee screaming in anger. Incredible that this is how their people treat their customers during a huge event. The owner should be completely embarrassed by their employees' unprofessional and rude behavior. They might want to get their employees some anger management training or better yet hire new ones that have experience in the hospitality industry. Until then, pretty sure we can get good meatballs and lasagna some place else that doesn't treat paying customers like garbage.
