I was super excited to check out Hazel Hill, since they're located in the new Montage Hotel & Resort location in Healdsburg. The hotel is less than 10 minutes north of downtown Healdsburg, and has a great view since they're located on top of a large hill. Valet parking is required, and it was complimentary for restaurant guests. The restaurant is located past the lobby area, and you'll want to walk towards the back to check in at the hostess stand. We had reservations for lunch on a Saturday, and they weren't crowded yet around noon; however, it started getting busier as the day went on. I loved the modern look and feel of the restaurant, and was appreciative that the majority of seating was socially distanced. They also have a gorgeous outdoor patio area with heat lamps; however, it wasn't available the day I went due to the rains. Hazel Hill has an open kitchen concept, and you can watch some of the chefs working from the main dining area. The best seats in the house will be the few counter seats right in front of the kitchen. I ended up trying: -Hazel Hill Crab Benedict (Dungeness Crab, Avocado, Citrus Hollandaise, $34, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=EhRseo6h7m9Y3PJtM8_-bQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): On paper, this sounded delicious; unfortunately for me, I misread the description and didn't notice the lack of English muffin mentioned. In place of the English muffin was a crab cake, which was good, but the sweetness of the crab wasn't very prominent. I appreciated the citrus hollandaise was light and creamy, but it needed more flavor/salt, as did the crispy potatoes. -Country Chicken Sandwich (Served w/Fries, $22, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Pu0rtddvl1VUdZxEJ1b9HA&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): I was craving fries that day and was happy to hear their chicken sandwich came with a serving of fries. The fries were crispy and delicious, and highly recommended! Sadly, the sandwich was very average, and it had a lot more bread than chicken (the chicken was barely large enough to fill out half the sandwich). I wouldn't order either dish again. Our server was great, and super friendly and helpful. I would come back if in the area to give their other dishes a try (especially their steak frites), and opt to check out their dinner menu versus another brunch. read more

Excellent food, service and gorgeous views. We came up from San Francisco for family brunch the weekend before Mother's Day and had a fantastic meal at Hazel Hill. The restaurant is at the Montage, secluded and beautifully landscaped with vines and rolling hills. The kids portions were huge (adult sized for our 3 and 6 year olds!) and delicious, and the adult salads, wines and cocktails were terrific. One of the highlights was our server, Theresa who was warm and welcoming while professional and prompt. It's rare to experience service like this anywhere in 2023 - Someone who truly cares about the guest experience and is authentic in their hospitality. She brought out a delicious gluten and dairy free chocolate cake on the house knowing that I am allergic to both! Highly recommend for a visit and hope you're lucky enough to have Theresa for your server! read more

If there were no large groups, wedding and conference, we would have better experience. Those groups were so loud. Even louder when they got drunk. We just need time to unwind in Montage but unable to. read more

I'm local where we are fortunate to have amazing food options and it's extremely challenging to get a bad meal. There is one exception, Scout and Hazel Hill. My last 2 visits have been complete dining disaster's. I ordered the chicken sandwich at Scout and 2 bites in saw that it was raw chicken. Not hey there's some blood in it and maybe it was cooked to 150, it was completely out of the fridge raw. It was oh wow did I eat the uncooked park, do I need to make plans to grab a pillow and blanket and spend the night in my bathroom? Staff was extremely apologetic notified the chef and I got the steak and fries. Last time I was with friends and we ordered the ribeye for 2. More than 30% of the $225 steak was fat, solid fat. The rest of the steak was mostly fat that wasn't rendered at all, with a combo of well done sections and rare. I can't say I will be back for the food until something changes. Service has been good, cocktails are excellent and the views are amazing. Valet parking is also a mess. One time with friends we both gave valets tickets at the same time. He got his car in 5 minutes I waited nearly half an hour and had to ask the manager multiple times where the valet disappeared to. I've found that bringing my manual sports car with a heavy duty clutch is enough to let them allow me to park it myself in front. It's an embarrassment in a town with multiple Michelin star restaurants and chefs that take pride in their food. read more

Great design and warm vibe in a beautiful spot. Over several visits we find the service warm and attentive, thought our most recent visit it was difficult to get hold of our serve outside of the start and end of the meal. The food is priced in the high end, but can be of variable quality based on the night. My same beloved dish - the wagyu steak frites - has been one of the very best meals of the year one week, and the worst the next. I hope consistency can get nailed down. I adore the bar here and it's a guaranteed crowd pleaser with visiting guests. read more

Stayed at Montage for 2 nights and ate at Hazel Hill a total of 4 meals: 1 lunch, 1 dinner & 2 breakfasts so we had a lot of chances for them to get it right. They missed the mark at every meal. The good: -beautiful view and restaurant -friendly staff -focus on fresh, local ingredients. Some standouts like homemade jam. Food looked pretty. -breakfast foods were tasty and well prepared The bad: -servers are inattentive for a restaurant at a hotel of this price point and caliber. Hard to get the check, more water, condiments etc. -food and coffee served were not hot enough. My husband's steak came cold at dinner. Sent it back and it came lukewarm the second time. Server gave some excuse about them needing to let it rest so it gets cooler. Coffee one morning was lukewarm. When we mentioned to the server she was upset and ran off and then we never saw her again. Gave up on getting regular coffee and got another server to get us a latte which was finally hot enough. - server messed up our 20yr old bottle of wine we brought to dinner. Rushed into opening it without much thought, broke the cork and had to take it away to have someone help her get it strained. Thank goodness they waived the corkage fee. Why isn't there a sommelier? - food was just ok. Nothing special. The prices are what you'd expect at a high end resort but the value just isn't there. Example - breakfast for 2 was $75-$90 which is pricey for 2 plates of eggs, toast, potatoes, breakfast meat and coffee. Overall this restaurant doesn't seem well managed and the food is just not at the level it should be for a 5-star resort. If we were to go back, we would likely eat in town which is about a 10-minute drive away. read more

WOW. I loved this place! Had dinner here on Saturday night, 8/27/2022 and it was such a beautiful experience. The hotel grounds are very lovely, beautiful olive trees in the outside dining area with lights in them. They had live music (a singer with guitar) and it was a perfect volume... Clear, audible, set a romantic vibe, yet still in the background to allow easy conversation. First let me say, everyone here was incredibly nice from the woman who brought us to our table to the various wait staff. It took what would have already been a great experience to an even more magical one. The bread they brought was steamy hot, fresh baked, olive sourdough bread and SO GOOD. It came with, I believe, a duck fat butter with fennel or fennel pollen that was very flavorful and creamy. I love cocktails and am always on the lookout for special ones. I got the Violet Beauregarde, excited by the Shiso leaf in it because I love that flavor. It was a perfect cocktail! Super pretty, and that shiso came through very strong while still balanced by all the other flavors! I sipped this cocktail over the course of my dinner as it was flavorful enough to be truly savored, and it did not get diluted or lose its intensity of flavor which is very impressive. Highly recommend it. My partner and I got, respectively, the octopus and albacore carpaccio for appetizers. Both delicious in very different ways. The carpaccio was bright and light with some tangy flavors and the octopus was more earthy. For our mains, we then got halibut and salmon. He thoroughly enjoyed every bite of his halibut. I loved my salmon. The salmon was surprising to me in its preparation, but in a good way! It had this lovely, flavorful crust, this light green sauce that is honestly hard to describe... Little smoked onion puree and fish roe. I ate more than I really should have (it was a nice sized portion but more salmon than I personally eat in a serving) because I couldn't leave a bite behind. For dessert, I got the milk ice cream and my partner had the milk chocolate cremeux and honestly, the menu description does not do justice to these desserts. My dessert was perfect for what I wanted as the ice cream was a lighter dessert. It's an interesting and unique texture, firm, kind of icy, but in a nice way. It had lots of little surprises, like a delicious crust underneath it, these little sweet bread cubes, and some kind of caramelized sugar or toffee like pieces alongside the berries. So much more than what I was expecting! The chocolate dessert was heavenly, and super complex with so many surprises of its own, I don't know how to list them. I wish I had been less full so I could have finished his dessert. That's the one regret of the evening. With our check they brought olive oil truffles that were a perfect finish. I can't wait to return in the future. read more

We stayed at the montage for five days on our honeymoon and while the resort was incredible, the restaurant was good but not great. We ate breakfast there every day, which was very good. They had some wonderful healthy choices and the staff were very accommodating if you wanted to make a change to the menu. On our last evening, we were encouraged to have dinner there by several people in the area. We sat outside on the patio and the views are breathtaking. The service was incredible. Our server Knew everything about the menu and the wine list which was very eclectic and had many choices. I had a glass of the surveyor which is made on premises and it was delicious as were the other wine and cocktails we enjoyed. Our appetizers were delicious. I had the Barata salad. My wife had the gazpacho soup. The entrées were a bit lacking. I had the saffron rice which was supposed to be a play on paella for a vegetarian. While the fresh solfrito was delicious the entire dish lacked seasoning. I believe they tried to do crispy rice, but the rice was just stuck to the bottom of the pan, it was served in. For $30 I expected it to be really great and it was just OK. My wife had the halibut which she said was cooked perfectly and the accompaniments were delicious but again the fish was bland and needed seasoning. For $50 I would've expected it to be the best fish she had ever had and it was just OK. We were very full and dessert. read more

The service staff was great. I had the burgers it was pretty average but I was their the whole weekend and saw people ordering the wagyu steak frites and totally regretted it getting it because it looked AMAZING. Donut holes were a great dessert. You can't beat the view of this place looking out the windows. Stunning. read more

Our party had an exceptional dining experience at Hazel Hill after our reservation at Single Thread was canceled last minute due to HVAC outage during a heat wave. The team at Single Thread was kind enough to help us book a new reservation elsewhere and recommended Hazel Hill. We had no idea what to expect, but Hazel Hill stunned on all levels: ambiance, location, service, and the quality of the food and drink. The property is stunningly beautiful inside and out, with the dining room overlooking rolling hills of vineyards. The service was absolutely top notch; they gave us fresh plates and wiped down the table in between every course, and even refreshed my napkin when I stepped away to the bathroom. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and helped us select a few bottles of wine for the group to share. And last, but not least, the food was stunning! Everything was beautifully plated and prepared with unparalleled skill. The chef was so kind and sent several complimentary dishes our way, knowing that our Single Thread booking was originally to celebrate a birthday and an anniversary. Despite our original itinerary not going according to plan, we had an incredible time at Hazel Hill that exceeded expectations and we would be delighted to return. read more

I wish I could give this place more stars!! My husband and I had the most divine Christmas Eve meal here tonight. The ambiance is beautiful and our waiter Jason was attentive, friendly and super helpful. We had a little of everything and every single bite was outstanding!! There were some special offerings for the holiday but most of what we had are on the regular dinner menu. The caviar was the best I've ever had and it's served with delicious fried potato sticks. We tried several other bites that didn't disappoint and we both had the Waygu steak entree. You really can't go wrong with anything here! If you haven't made the trip out to visit Hazel Hill yet you really should. There is a great outdoor patio for nice weather and everyone there provided excellent service! read more

In this unprecedented time, finding a place with 5 star service is definitely a challenge. This gorgeous new resort on the north side of Healdsburg is a hidden gem.

I was really really shocked about the quality here. I didn't have expectations but was absolutely blown away. Not only was the food 5-Stars, but the service was unbelievable. The wait staff was super attentive and the chef even came out himself to shave the truffles onto our pasta and speak with us for a moment. The ambiance was also lovely, seated far enough away from other parties. But close enough to see everyone enjoying themselves. I was also super pleased with the portion sizes too. We were extremely full and savored every bite. Some might think it's pricey, which it is, but I felt like every dollar was worth it. read more

Needs some serious work. It's hard to destroy a pea soup, but they succeeded. Broth-like bland nightmare that wasn't helped at all with salt and pepper. Likewise, the play-dough-like gnocchi was a disaster. Very little taste, bland cream-like sauce, and draped with an odd and similarly tasteless vegetable medley. The only positives were the ambiance, breakfast, and the duck if you are inclined to eat cute feathery animals. Our server was attentive, yet wrote our order out twice and then confirmed it verbally three times over a span of 15 mins. It was something we had never experienced or seen in 55 years of dining out. read more

Hazel Hill - Gnocchi nightmare. - New American Near Me - Healdsburg, California

Let me start by saying that this restaurant is what Healdsburg has needed after losing a few incredible ones over the last few years. The staff is extremely attentive, the food is phenomenal, and the scenery is terrific. As a healdsburg local it's great to go somewhere with delicious food, but not have it feel stuffy or over the top. We went for Easter brunch and had a wonderful time. Only places where we saw room for improvement is that there is a lot of time between courses (almost too much) and that their parking situation is a disaster as it's all valet and they get backed up and it's disorganized. Would recommend that guests should be able to have their calls pulled out while they are finishing meals. read more

Have not had a good experience at Hazel Hill, but thought we'd give it another shot. It was a beautiful day and the windows were open, the atmosphere was lovely. However, my drink wasn't that great and for the price it should've been stellar. My husband would've ordered a second drink, but the bartender was so slow in coming back to check on us that we ran out of time. It's really unfortunate when you see the staff chatting and flirting amongst each other instead of taking care of the customers. Especially for the prices they charge! read more

This was our first meal back after a disastrous Mother's Day brunch last spring. When the reservation was made, Kara assured us that this would be very different, and I gave them a second chance. On arrival we waited 15 minutes, while people who came after were seated. The server verified that there were no notes on our reservation about making this worth a second try. She hadn't relayed any of the information she gave us about what to expect. Paul, manager, did step in and try to rectify the situation. Thank you, sir. The fresh prawns and the almond meringue cookies were the best part of the meal. Slippery watermelon, lids too heavy to lift off vegetables preventing serving oneself, prime rib gristly and fatty served by an indifferent carver, instead of rosy pink lamb it was bloody red. And then the bill. $145 per person, and a service charge of nearly $100, AND a line for tipping! $700 for 3 people? While I appreciate Paul's interventions, I must say that the second try was just as bad as the previous experience, if not worse. read more

Had lunch reservations, asked for a table with a view which was right away accomodated. But then we waited for about 15 minutes, and finally the server came by and asked if we received water. Told her no, and she said "oh, can I get you something to drink then?" We asked for water, ordered our Iced Tea's and our meals all at once. Again waited for about 10 minutes and saw the hostess come by and we asked for water again. She was sweet and apologized and brought the water right away. The server came with our drinks about 5 minutes later. Another 15 minutes went by before our lunch was delivered. The Hazel Hill Salad was decent, but small, my husbands Waygu beef was just ok. Perhaps the server had too many tables but she never came back and we had to flag her down for the check. The view is beautiful and the valet's are very nice, they were the only ones who asked us if we enjoyed our lunch! Disappointed with Hazel Hill, this should be exceptional service and food and it was not. Parking: Valet service only. The valet's were very nice and attentive read more

This is a very late post. My wife and I dined at Hazel Hill on Valentine's Day. Unfortunately the service was subpar. Although several waitresses looked over at our table and I'm going to assume noticed that we needed more water and more wine in our glasses none did us the favor. This would not have bothered me if we did not have to wait for more than 25 minutes for the next course . When it finally arrived, unfortunately it was not the one that followed the menu. We asked that it be returned and replaced with the correct one which they did. We we're not charged for the bottled water however the damage was done on this special day! Will we dine there again? Most likely because I would like to dine off the regular menu and like to think that the experience was an anomaly. We also live within walking distance. read more

What a gem! We spent a weekend in the Montage and had a magical dinner at Hazel hill. The service was attentive and awesome.

This place deserves more than 5 stars! Everything was exquisite. I've been to many 5 Star restaurants as you can see from my reviews. This was the best restaurant I've ever been to.

Hair in food at Montage. I was so excited to finally dine here. Super disappointing. First they forgot our appetizer. Ok. No biggie. But they brought out the croque madame and there was a hair in the egg! Yes. Montage is serving hair in their food. Completely unacceptable and sadly they took zero responsibility. We spoke to management and the customer service was beyond poor. And Paul 'management' hung up the phone after chastising us bc clearly here - the customer is never right. Go Montage! read more

We went for Restaurant Week and it was a complete joke. I understand that Restaurant Week is about offering guests a lower priced menu in an effort to introduce them to the larger experience of dining in the establishment but this experience had the opposite experience. We received precisely 3 tablespoons of soup and a piece of Rockfish, the cheapest fish you can get, that was the size of a string cheese. The flavors were nice - not amazing, not awful just okay. If this is what they offer as their tasting menu to entice us to come back, it failed. Also, heads up, they add gratuity automatically to your bill and DO NOT tell you so you need to look carefully at your bilI as there is a large line for TIP. read more

In a word - disappointing. While the terrace views and grounds are beautiful, the fare was lackluster at best. The menu is small, which is fine, but the product is abstract, and bland, at the same time. Staff are attentive though they appeared quite stressed. One redeeming quality is the wine list - though this is a feature that can be found at many other restaurants around Healdsburg, at far better prices. In sum, the kitchen is letting down what could otherwise be a great venue. Go for the pictures and a drink... eat elsewhere. read more

We've come here a couple of times now. It's a beautiful location and the ambiance is exactly what Healdsburg needed. Remote, but modern and trendy with great views. Out of the three meals we've had here two were decently fine but our most recent just not great. The eggs in my Benedict were essentially not cooked at all and nearly complete liquid. Service was also just ok. Our server wasn't very attentive and didn't really come back to check on us. I will say, the valet guys were really great. I always try to give a new place time to work out the kinks, but our prior two experiences were substantially different than our last but hopefully we were just there on an off day and we'll give it another try. read more

Reviews are for lunch / brunch at the Hazel HIll restaurant at the Montage. We have eaten here four times and three of the four visits have been great. Of course, expectations are high given the prices, but usually service and food is on point. When they have specials, go for it. Like biscuits and gravy were AMAZING and LIFE CHANGING good. Benedict is my go-to and the burger is good too. New item appeared, chorizo chilaquiles, which I had high hopes, but the ratio of chips to everything else was lacking which then meant the flavors lacked a punch. Sadly, both the front of the house and back of the house service was off today, to the point where food was late and cold. Even hot tea took 15 minutes. However, I'm going to say it's a great place with the hopes you will have a fantastic experience. read more

Had friends from Sonoma stop by for a visit to Healdsburg. We were hungry and had wanted to try the Montage's Hazel Hill restaurant for lunch. Called for a last minute reservation and they told us to come on by. Thank you for the accommodation. The property is beautiful and the staff was warm, friendly and professional. We were seated on the terrace with views of the property and vineyard. We all ordered a glass of wine. We ordered the Cold pea soup with Morel mushrooms and cashew cream. We also ordered two Hazel Hill Salads, one with shrimp and one without a protein and the Hazel Hill Burger that comes with fries. All delicious and the Service was excellent. All in all an excellent relaxing lunch and we will return. read more

Valet Parking, very pleasant and polite staff. Solid menu and cool wine list, inventive cocktails. Go for the Exit505! But for all their efforts the staff is adolescent and unprepared to deliver the level of service required at premium prices! our server could not open a bottle of wine without fumbling. she had no knowledge of the wine list and could not find the wine we ordered. A " sommelier" appeared only after our dinners were stone cold waiting for our wines. He served one other table an overpriced Pinot Noir and promptly disappeared. Really? in Healdsburg? the competition will eat them alive, judging from the scant crowd tonight...they already have! This place is far out of town and can only hope to attract the resident guests. Apologies were abundant but this no place for anyone that appreciates fine dining and good wine. C+ at best! read more

Wow! One of the worst experiences I've had in a really long time. I normally do not post a review but the service/food was so bad, I had to voice my concerns. They forgot to add salt to the appetizer. They added way too much salt on everything else. It took 15 minutes to get a menu. 20 minutes to get drinks. Kara, the restaurant manager was completely unapologetic and oblivious. Paul another manager, was condescending and also unapologetic. It took us 18 minutes to get our car from valet. I had to ask the valet person 3 times to get my car. The entire experience was awful. read more

Poor service & mediocre food. The waitress disappeared for approximately an hour, resulting in us not ordering another round of drinks/another bottle of wine and not ordering dessert. The restaurant was very loud and not conducive to conversation and the entrees were mediocre, so we decided to pay the bill and leave. We flagged another server to assist us with the bill. As we were leaving the maître d' came running after us in the hotel saying we had not paid. Apparently our waitress had reappeared and reported that we had not paid --when in fact we had, just not with her b/c she had stopped servicing our table. In addition to the absent waitress, the wine steward was very off-putting and gave weird know-it-all vibes and only came by our table to take the wine order and to serve the first glass. There was no reason for the poor service. We were not intoxicated, or poorly dressed, or behaving badly in any way. We had made a Saturday night reservation well in advance and arrived on time. We were excited to host our out-of-town friends there and then the whole experience was poor, concluding with truly embarrassingly poor service. We won't be back. read more
