    The experience is better for photos than eating. Food is overall uninteresting and sometimes oversalted with a nice presentation. Good if you just want to show off, bad if you enjoy food. No idea why this got 3 stars

    As a chef of 36 years and still cooking I am not easily wowed. I've done coursed bites in this similar platform, still do. I was pleased by almost every course. Presentation was awesome. Service was top notch. I counted movements, paced courses. Who ever trained the servers need to go to every restaurant and show other servers what real service consist of. The one course that didn't wow needed a dash of salt only. I will be back.

    Believe the hype. It lived up to the booking and more. When you are dining at an establishment like this, or it's equivalent, the food is without reproach. Any place like this will be a good meal. What sets it apart, and I think what's earned them their stars, is the amazing staff and service. All of the multitude of little things to take care of you and account for your needs and interests - that's what took the meal from simply great to world class. It's expensive but any michelin restaurant usually is. By far the best I've had though. I don't want to be cruel about other fine establishments, but French Laundry is always talked about in Yountville and I just need to say having dined at both this blew FL out of the water.

    We had the best meal of our lives here before COVID. We also had a delicious dinner we picked up last year, but the in-restaurant dining experience is not to be missed. We requested the vegetarian prefixe tasting menu and it was beyond perfect. In the more-is-more fresh, creative, and visually stunning sort of way. It was over-the-top great, and we can't wait to return soon. Update: Single Thread is still amazing! We had an anniversary dinner there recently, and it was so good that we didn't want it to end! We did the vegetarian tasting menu with wine pairing, which was off-the-hook delicious and beautiful. Service is warm and attentive- just perfect.

    Everything was beyond incredible. From the service, the food, the wine and every detail put into everything was mind blowing. Well deserved of 3 Michelin stars. Was an amazing experience and would recommend anyone to come and make an incredible memory here. Our sommelier Chris was so helpful and knowledgeable about the wines and champagne. He helped make the experience even more elevated.

    The presentation was stunning, but a bit of a trick pony. Amazing floral bouquets with every course, but it gets a bit repetitive. Solid food, albeit a bit unimaginative. Quality ingredients, great job at sourcing. Sadly, the value was not quite there. A tad expensive for what you get. The biggest issue was the complete failure to acknowledge that it was a birthday dinner during the dessert course. When you're an establishment with 3 stars, you should be getting this right. The service also leaves a bit to be desired. We had a few servers who could not remember the menu, and one that blurted out something completely nonsensical. I noticed they had an event next door, so perhaps that had something to do with it. We had fun here, but only because we made it fun out of our own volition.

    The best dining experience we ever had! I love floral designs so I appreciate their artistic way of presenting every dish. We already have a gift card and are ready to use it as long as they get an opening

    We have been to many Michelin restaurants all over the world, including 3 star establishments such as neighboring French Laundry and Alinea in Chicago. SingleThread was, without question, the best dining experience of our lives so far. Our 10 course meal featured a fusion of summer and fall ingredients, which honored the seasons uniquely and impeccably. I didn’t know produce could taste as good as what was presented in each course! The wagyu and fish were cooked flawlessly and prepared superlatively. And if there was any doubt that this was the best meal of our lives, the dessert that followed quickly put those doubts to rest. Combining both French and Japanese traditions, dessert was innovative, surprising, and delicious. The non-alcoholic drink pairing simply put the whole experience over the edge. It was great talking with our server Garrett throughout the meal. The service overall was some of the very best we’ve experienced as of yet. On your next trip to Northern California’s wine country, skip the tired and commercialized experience of the French Laundry and opt for the cozy, adventurous, and inspired SingleThread. It was a Halloween night we will never forget!

    I visited in Dec 2020 for my anniversary. The most amazing restaurant experience I've ever had! I've visited many Michelin star restaurants but this one is the best. I don't eat gluten and dairy and they met my needs with no problems. I will let the pictures speak for themselves

    For all of the three star restaurants I've eaten at, this one has the best plate presentations. The on-site floral team is working overtime, for sure. And that's not to take anything away from the chefs. The food was amazing! Lots of really good fish and VERY seasonal veg. We did the premium wine pairing. Not sure it's worth the extra money. I think we would've been just as happy with the nightly pairing. And there's a pretty big difference in price, so if you go, keep the nightly pairing in mind. The Inn is legit amazing. Everything was perfect. The breakfast in the morning was every bit as good as you'd think and expect.

    The food was pretty, but the taste was not qualified to earn three Michelin stars. They should focus on the taste more. It felt like fake Japanese food. The fish was not very fresh. Overall regretted coming here and I will not recommend this restaurant for friends, waste of money. I also stayed at the hotel after dinner. The hotel reception staff called Mindy was rude and impatient. I don’t understand why they hire someone like that. Hire someone better to treat the guests in a more professional and respectful way! For God’s sake, I mean this is a five stars hotel. 🙄

    Wonderful setting, food and service. If anything can justify Michelin prices (nothing can, really), then this is it. Even better than French Laundry. So many vegetables and flowers. Incredible presentation. Enjoyed the roof and kitchen stops. Leisurely meal over 3.5 hrs. A bit too much food in the end, though portions were small enough and thankfully, not many carbs.

    Phenomenal. I actually had to go back and look at other reviews I’ve left for 3-star Michelin restaurants, because this was incomparable and puts the others to shame. While there were 10 courses, there were really more bites/dishes overall. We had two that missed the mark, but if anything it solidified how exquisite the other dishes were. The Wagyu supplement was definitely worth it, as was the reserve wine pairing. Service was on another level as well. I really have to question the handful of reviewers who say otherwise. We arrived ~10-15 minutes early and were greeted warmly and invited to watch the kitchen work while they prepared our table. Throughout the experience, the different servers not only took time to explain the dishes but also were more than happy to answer questions and also engage is some great small talk and banter. Again, people complaining about the service here must not like people and if anyone is complaining about the food, I don’t know what to tell you… this place is hands down well deserving of their 3 stars, and your time if you’re fortunate enough to score a reservation. And not to ruin the surprise, but they even send you home with an amazing memento.

    The 3-star Michelin rated Single Thread restaurant the most expensive dinner of a lifetime! It was a symphonic opera of visual presentation and unique foods. The food was marvelously delicious. 10 courses with combinations of flavors, temperatures and textures and color; and they have an entire floral team for presentation. Some of the tableside preparation was unique and special in its own right. The staff has an incredible gift of hospitality making us feel both welcome and comfortable with the course pacing being just perfect! Truly worthy of every accolade!!

    The entire dining experience was absolutely breathtaking. The plating was gorgeous and even the accompanying smells really added to the taste of the very thoughtful 11 courses. I loved the fresh ingredients and the very flavorful sauces. I can't begin to describe each one, but if you're considering coming here you should go! We had the wine pairing and each choice really did enhance the taste of each course. Every bite was savored and every minute was delightful.

    Disclaimer, this review is for the restaurant only. Beautiful restaurant with a thoughtful aesthetic. The Japanese-influenced seafood-forward food with French technique was delicious and presented artfully, of course punctuated by the initial tableau worthy of all the accolades it receives. Sweet bites, often a letdown in these tasting menus, were very good, and one could sense, more than just thrown in as an afterthought. Service was attentive and efficient, if not at times feeling a little too rehearsed for my taste. Healdsburg itself is charming and definitely worth the detour. Highly recommended for a splurge.

    Probably the best dining experience in the US. 3 Michelin stars, Worlds 50 Best list, all well deserved. The tasting menu takes you through a journey that captured the diverse California produce which is fresh from the restaurants farm while adding a Japanese influence to the dishes making it exquisite and unique. The staff were unbelievable. All having deep detailed knowledge in each dish and drink but more importantly welcoming and accommodating to all sorts of dietary restrictions. They went above and beyond in the smallest and biggest of ways. Having tried dining experiences in Japan Singapore, Peru, Portugal and many other countries, this ranks as one of the very best I’ve ever had. If there is one dining experience I would have on my bucket list in the US, this would be it.

    We went here for my birthday but it was a surprise to me. I normally research all the restaurants but due to the surprise, I could not wit this one. I have been to many restaurants (including many michelin star) and Single Thread served me the best meal of my life. On top of that, the hospitality is amazing. I really wish that I had done my homework -- although this didn't take back from the experience, I had no idea that Chef Kyle coauthored the Donabe book that I had (and use all the time). I'd never been to a restaurant that used a donabe before. They had several kinds in the restaurant and that also opened my eyes to the possibilities of cooking with donabes. I cannot wait to try it myself - but what a shock this was to me - a surprise in a surprise. After our meal, we wanted to go to the farm store but it was closed for July 4th. So, we changed our vacation to make sure we could stop by when it was open because the vegetable varieties are so rare, we wouldnt find them elsewhere - and i really wanted to buy some. We went to the farm, got a short (not planned) tour by John who was willing to accommodate my last minute request. I got to learn about so many varieties of vegetables and also their farming practice. FYI, the farm store is the coolest that I've ever seen!!! We wanted to go back to the farm store to get more but they were closed due to hot weather and a bee issue. However, Hailey from the inn made my day and had some vegetables sent to the restaurant for me to pick up!?!?!?! I am a food nerd (and in the industry) so this was an incredible treat for me. I cannot thank the single thread team enough for the food and hospitality. We will be back!

    SingleThread's rooftop garden and patio transports you to a winemaker's backyard. Iconic vista. It is an authentic must, it is the only one central to Healdsburg.

    This is an amazing experience. Incredible service and food. The menu was put together in a very thoughtful manner, the presentation, and information with each course made for a memorable experience. It's difficult to get reservations, you need to do so far in advance and compete with a website clicking war. I would suggest staying at the inn for an even better experience and a better shot at securing a table as a dinner reservation comes with your room. Then, you can also benefit from their in room breakfast if you've saved enough room. The breakfast is also terrific and thoughtfully put together. Be sure to add this one to your bucket list!

    (Translated by Google) Single Thread's top speed in the Michelin list is a miracle. In 2016, ST opened the second Michelin star in the same year. It was directly promoted to Michelin's Samsung restaurant last year. The couple's shop, run by Kyle and Katina Connaughton, combines a farm, a hotel and a restaurant with Single Thread, offering an 11-course kaiseki meal. The ingredients are freshly picked and the restaurant's service is unique. Advocate sincerity and no reservations. The Tasting Menu is $330. (Original) Single Thread在米其林榜单中的上位速度简直堪称奇迹,2016年开业的ST在同年便摘得米其林二星,在去年更是直接晋升成为米其林三星餐厅。 这家夫妻店由Kyle和Katina Connaughton共同经营,兼具农场、旅店和餐厅为一体的Single Thread,提供11道菜的怀石料理,不仅食材是新鲜采摘的,它家的服务宗旨也是别有特色,主张真诚、毫无保留。Tasting Menu为 $330。

    It's the best restaurant in the world! First of all, the first dish is art. It was too beautiful to eat. All the food was delicious, the service was attentive and we had a wonderful time. We were not able to reserve a room at the inn this time because it was full, but would love to stay here next time. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We hope to come back again.

    From the moment the reservation was made to when my husband and I left SingleThread to go back to our hotel... Probably the best and most extravagant experience of my life. Definition of fine dining at it's very best...or perhaps whatever is better than fine dining. Highly recommend. Certainly worth a trip to Healdsburg just to dine here. Beyond fantastic.

    Above and beyond our expectations. Dishes here have deep, deep Japanese influence. Every course has great presentation and the flavor is top notch. Wine pairing is also spot on and pairs very well with dishes. The service can't be better and people are super friendly. This place is definitely worth a visit!

    An incredible dining experience! The 3-star Michelin rating could not be more deserved with unbelievable food presentation, impeccable attention to every detail, and an extremely knowledgeable welcoming and friendly staff. The floral and culinary teams are unsurpassed in artful Japanese inspired design for each of the 10 courses. An amazing experience of texture, color and flavor, and one of the most memorable meals of my life. Bravo Single Thread!

    What an amazing experience. Was so lucky to have had a chance to try out this restaurant. Was absolutely blown away by the food, the wine, and the entire experience. Would not hesitate to visit again. By far the best Michelin stared restaurant I have visited thus far.

    As a foodie turned vegan (still a foodie), there are a lack of options to experience creativity at an elevated level. SingleThread hit every single note. To note, this review is specific to the fully plant based menu SingleThread provide as an accommodation to their main tasting menu. I was welcomed with a rush of feelings from our entry through completion. This was not just a meal, it was artistry that celebrated all senses. Emotion, nostalgia, surprise, elation, comfort... the list goes on. Each course deserved to be a star and the wine pairing was exceptional. One of the courses included a broth that reminded me of my mom and my grandmother and of home... Memories of my childhood and comfort exploded in my mind. It sounds cheesy but it's true, and I don't care because these artists deserve their flowers for creating such a powerful experience. Thank you, we'll be back.

    Wow. From the moment you walk up and they greet you by name, to the 10 artistic course with expertly paired wines, this is a culinary experience to be savored. Beautiful space, lovely staff and inventive food. Experience amazing!

  • 5/5 Drew M. 7 months ago on Google
    Me and my wife have a thing for fine dining and of course we had to check out SingleThread. The experience was truly worthy of being within the Michelins. The ONLY remotely negative point I had was how long the experience was. Due to jet lag (we traveled to CA from DC the day before) we were quite tired by the end of the meal. Regardless, I have nothing but good words to say about the dinner and the service was spectacular.

  • 3/5 Eduardo M. 9 months ago on Google
    Review is for restaurant only: Dined here, two people, fixed 11 course meal with $300 pp wine pairing (their lowest level of 3 pairing choices). Total spent for meal, service and wine: $2000 Pluses: - Inventive food, not stereotypical French - Highest quality ingredients - Beautiful presentation - Attentive service Minuses: - Excessive amount of food. First of 11 courses was itself plentiful— a sushi tower that was amazing but already entrée sized; we felt stuffed halfway through the meal, but the food kept coming - Wine pairings of erratic quality (ranging from Dom P 2013 to an overly-sweet sake), with unpleasantly generous pours; we were inebriated by the time we finished 4 hours later, and spent the next 24 hours painfully recovering from gluttony and alcohol - We felt spied-upon by staff from beginning to end, perhaps typical of a 3 star place (as in chef Terry’s place in The Bear) - Odd pacing on arrival. Escorted to rooftop by elevator but with no explanation as to why… offered a la carte wine by the glass, which is petty given that we were about to drop $2k for the meal What would have made it perfect: - Make the meal 5 or 6 courses max - Pair only with exceptional wines, with modest pours - Address the smaller specific comments above

  • 5/5 David F. 1 year ago on Google
    Simply spectacular… upon the delivery of the courses we were repeatedly speechless. The artistry, quality and impeccable attention to detail are second to none. The Wagyu, the Madai, and the Nodoguro courses were especially good. The printed menu and heirloom seeds are a fantastic finish as well. We cannot wait to return and experience the seasonal variations.

    For a three Michelin star restaurant, Single Thread restaurant is quite disappointing, highly over-rated and over priced. Among all the three Michelin star restaurants we’ve been, this one comes out on the bottom in terms of food and on the top in terms of price. On the positive side, the restaurant dining room is well designed and appointed. The servers are attentive and knowledgeable, and each course of food was complicated and beautiful presented. However, for all the effort the food tasted quite bland. There’s not a single course that was particularly memorable of the whole meal. As a matter of fact, there are multiple dishes that I can name another restaurant that had tasted better. Of course I probably missed the highlight of the entire meal - the last dessert course. As there’re so much food, we were visibly full towards the end. Before introducing the last course, the server kindly suggested packing our last desert course for us to take home, except he totally forgot about it as we were leaving. Even upon my reminder, he seemed confused and only gave us the petit fours as a take home token. Lastly, the drink pairing was a hit and miss. In summary, we’ve had dinner the same week at one Michelin restaurant close by in Geyserville that’s of higher quality.

  • 4/5 Spencer Q. 10 months ago on Google
    Food: 3.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Overall: A good taste of fine dining to try out. Would I come back: Since I’m not really a fancy fine dining kind of person likely not. But it was good to try once. The extended review… Food: 3.5/5 - Definitely fresh and immaculate in presentation. For myself, I tend to look for different and unconventional flavors when doing fine dining so it’s hard to say that anything was really out of the ordinary. Service: 5/5 - Amazing attentive service. Definitely what I expect from a place with this stature. The servers were very patient and collected. Ambiance: 5/5 - Beautifully decorated interior and very well suited for fine dining.

    The best restaurant in the Bay Area, maybe even the country. A beautiful hybrid of Japanese and California cuisine with a sharp focus on hyper seasonality - every bite was not only beautiful, but absolutely delicious. Truly spectacular from start to finish!

    Had a booking for an early 1130 lunch. Had a wonderful time. Service was both formal and informal; friendly when appropriate, attentive and thoughtful. The food was outstanding, with the first course collection of canapes coming out fast and furious - very shock and awe. Then the pace slowed down. As we moved into the main dishes. Very nice progression. The food was very Japanese inspired and lovely. Everything was perfectly cooked. Thoroughly enjoyable.

    Wow.... Beyond our expectations. Well worth a trip. The food was exceptionally well conceived, great presentation and fabulous! The wine pairing was good, but not memorable. The staff seemed too busy as they were literally constantly moving and seemed stressed. Not quite "Quince", but a close second.

  • 5/5 The Whet P. 4 years ago on Google
    SingleThread's ambitious focus on seasonal offerings translates loud and clear on the menu, plating, and execution during each period. The unforgettable tablescape awaiting our arrival trumped an initial long wait when the weather hampered our plans to enjoy the rooftop garden. An intricate mossy green and floral centerpiece display took our breath away and piqued our curiosity. Our first bites hid within the arrangement and signaled the start of a memorable meal. A second visit finally allowed me to spend time on the rooftop garden. The stunning sunset faced me immediately as I walked upstairs, and I quickly regretted leaving my sunglasses behind. "Would you like a pair of sunglasses?" I paused and turned around to find our hostess happily holding a tray of, you guessed it, sunglasses of all shapes and colors. A sunglass menu? That was a first, but I can't say it surprised me. Back to that first introduction to the "SingleThread way," I spent a good amount of time foraging for each delectable piece out of that incredible spread highlighting seafood and vegetables. Once removed from the table, I couldn't help but sit basking in the afterglow. Only one word came to mind then: wow. Where do you go from there? HITS: The (summer menu) Box Crab course (grilled baby corn, basil, kani miso) remains my favorite of them all. The sweet corn custard and the soft and rich crab accompanied by the baby corn included butter I could have (and maybe did) spread on everything. The dish disappeared in seconds, and I felt great regret over it. Why didn't I savor it slower? Bad gluttonous move, I confess. The (summer menu) Black Cod (tama miso, squash blossoms) prepared tableside, delicately balanced components in both flavor and texture. I enjoyed the signature Sonoma Grains course both times, but preferred the Early Autumn in Sonoma version better: wagyu short rib, black garlic, and matsutake tea. Other favorites included in the autumn menu I loved were the Shima Aji (squash relish, zucchini puree, herb dashi), the Inada (Gravenstein apple, myoga, sansho), and the amuse-bouche Egg (steamed custard and smoked sabayon topped with Passmore Ranch caviar). Throughout dinner, service remained professional, yet approachable. At no point did it ever feel overbearing or stuffy. I especially treasured our interaction with the sommeliers both times: every question expertly answered, and every suggestion on point. A pincushion, complete with thread in the signature Singlethread color palette, arrived at dinner's end with a "pinned" check. To conclude, the staff presented a beautifully designed keepsake menu, adorned with a delicate fresh bouquet. Inside, each dish was described on a menu listing the night's courses. On the opposite side, a small thank you note was showcased beneath a paper rosette cleverly hiding a packet of (komatsuna in the fall, hakurei in the summer) heirloom seeds inside. Pay it forward. Plant the seeds. Seek change. Inspiring, to say the least. SingleThread is best defined, admired, and enjoyed as a whole and not in isolated tidbits of favorite bites. Whether obvious to the diner or not, every detail has its place, and I continue to discover more with each visit. Their concept and practices stand alone in its approach in the area and beyond: a single thread sewing a most wholesome (and exquisite) experience for the most discerning guests led by a team of harmonious giving hearts. KNOW: It is located about an hour northwest of Yountville. The lunch and dinner menus are the same. During the warmer months, the rooftop gardens are open daily, beginning at 4:30 PM. The rooftop gardens are closed during lunch services and the cooler months. Restaurant bookings are released at 9 AM PST on the 1st of every month for the following month. Parking is available street side or on their private lot directly behind the restaurant.

    Exceptional in every possible way. The Wagyu may be the single best thing I've ever eaten. Wine, phenomenal. Service was attentive and their attention to detail at all levels makes the experience all the more enjoyable. If you can splurge on this once in a lifetime experience, GO MAN GO!

    We've been to several 3-Michelin star restaurants, and by far and away, this one stands out above the rest - even went back again a few years later! If Michelin gave a 4th star, this place would deserve it. Most spectacular presentation I've ever seen!

    This place takes dining to a whole new level. I've been too several 3 Michelin Star restaurants around the Bay Area and Napa, including The French Laundry and Benu, and while most are amazing in their own way, none stand out quite like this place. The presentation of the food is inspired by the beauty in nature, and every dish is creative, colorful, and playful. I don't have to speak to the quality of the food since that goes without saying, but if you are thinking about trying a first class dining experience that not only celebrates beauty in food but also beauty in nature and combines food and art together in a breathtaking way with every dish, this is the place to try. You will not be disappointed.
