Beautiful eclectic restaurant. I wish the food lived up to the hype. Don't waste your time or money.

Incredible place to celebrate a special occasion or just have a delicious meal. Great vibe and down to earth atmosphere with a range of farm fresh dishes and creative cocktails

We enjoyed a date night here and the food, service, and atmosphere were all amazing! This restaurant is in the downtown Healdsburg area and is centrally located. We got Smith Story's amazing Sauvingnon Blanc, which we were happy to see on their menu. We also ordered their bread and hummus, which was flavorful and delicious! The trout was delicious as well! The service was great and everyone that worked there was really friendly and attentive. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back!

Barndiva has a beautiful, relaxed environment from building to the menu to the staff.
The food was amazing, the staff were so friendly. The brioche and goat cheese balls were really fresh and bite sized.
Even though some things have changed, the best bits are still there.

We last ate at Barndiva in 2019 and loved it. We were so excited to return and were highly disappointed. We ate in Barndiva Studio with a limited menu (not great) and very slow (but nice) service and a 20% service charge (not bad in its self but felt like they knew it and lacked any effort). Sadly it feels like eating in a listing ship that is bound to sink soon.

Service was great and place is cute. I saw on website they had 1 Michelin so was a bit apprehensive when seeing menu. Not sure if this is a different format that the 1 star restaurant or the same, but not sure this deserved a star. Food was good...we split a variety of items. Croquettes were the best. We enjoyed our time there and prices were good. Just confused about 1 the star as I don't think place warranted it but overall good experience.

I think Barndiva's format change may be their undoing. The goat cheese croquettes and the frites were amazing. The chicken Pailliard was dry and the burger had a strange consistency and flavor. Service was excellent. Let others do home style cooking - stick to what works!!

Good but not great. When we arrived, we could not hear the hostess because the music was loud / she never made eye contact while speaking to us. Our table was wobbly, super distracting….
We ordered the steak dinner for two- French fries were too salty and offered without any sauce. :-/ The creamed spinach was amazing and the star of the ‘steak dinner!’ And steak was disappointing… they didn’t ask us how we like it cooked, the steak knife wasn’t sharp enough to cut a steak, especially on a wobbly table, and the light was so dark I couldn’t see where to cut the steak to avoid another mouth full of steak fat. I also wish they staggered the delivery of dishes as ‘fancy’ French fries are so much better piping hot, as is the spinach, and cold steak fat … ?

Was the food outrageously salty? Absolutely.
Was the service slow? Sure
But was it outrageously expensive? Also yes.

I feel this food is trying too hard. The flavors were not there, produce bland, and although I believe fish should be undercooked it should not be raw unless it is sushi (it was trout). For the price, I’d much rather hang in the bubbles bar at Cyrus or just chill over at lo and behold - $150 per person plus drinks was NOT worth it. Finally the venue had great volume but a tad fussy and tired. So much potential.

It’s hit and miss for us. The starter( on the house) was very odd to my taste:pudding-cream brûlée with strong shrimp ???? taste. I could not finish my bite. The fist course from prefix dinner was pretty good if not impressive; the second- potato with cheese was a disaster- over salty cheddar dry harsh brown(?). The main dish and deserts were very good. Gratitude was automatically included, why?

I hesitate to leave this review. I had eaten at Barndiva twice before and my meals were exceptional. This time I booked lunch on a Fri at 2:30PM. My fault I didn't read closely enough (it was very unclear) but it seems only the brunch menu is served on Fri at lunch. We arrived at 2:00 early for our lunch and were welcomed. After that things went downhill. We asked for the full wine list they were hesitant. We ordered a bottle. I selected the soup and then the lamb. My guest the Reuben. Before I even finished my soup they bought our main courses. We finished eating and declined dessert but I asked for a double espresso. We still had more wine left. They brought the double espresso immediately and asked if we wanted to take the wine with us. I said no we wanted to finish it at the restaurant. We did as my espresso got cold (It was only 2:50 20 min after our reservation was scheduled to start). They asked if they could bring the check when they brought the espresso. I said yes. He forgot to include the espresso,. He informed we of that when I offered my credit card. I asked if he was asking me to pay for it in cash. He said no he could add it in. They had already included a tip in the bill we left nothing additional as we were hurried out of the restaurant at 3PM. They should never have accepted a 2:30PM reservation if this was such an imposition. This was far from the one michelin star dining experience we expected. And far below my previous exceptionally experiences at this restaurant. I was shocked!

Went here for brunch on a Sunday.

Great food, great setting, great service. My wife has a duck confit -- which was tasty -- but the accompanying potatoes were a little underdone. I had the "filet mignon burger", which was really a high-end steak disguised as a burger, with fries disguised as potato chips -- very clever!

Don’t go there. We had to cancel day of reservation due to medical situation, and they charged my card $200, no exceptions. Shame on them

I just played a wedding at Barndiva.
We loved it so much we want to be their house band!

We had a fantastic and memorable dinner. I was a bit apprehensive, as there’s some mixed reviews. However our experience was flawless. All the dishes were good, standouts being the roasted duck and potage. We tried several (heheh) cocktails and while they are pricey, they are worth it. Service was professional, and the pacing of dishes was on point. We went at 8pm on a nice October Thursday, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Highly recommend

Not a Michelin-star experience,
Food - not exceptional.
Service - good mood but lack of attention to details as we had to pour ourselves the wine and water, the first course took a long time to arrive to the table.
We had been in restaurants with 1, 2, and 3 Michelin stars where you can feel the quality of food and service, not at Barndiva.

The flavors of the food was spot on and wine pairing was amazingly perfect. Best dinner in Sonoma .

This evening, I was with a group of 6 with a reservation for 6:45 pm. We arrived at 6:30 pm to find the restaurant at about 40% capacity. We were seated immediately and shortly after, an employee came and brought 6 glasses of water. Thereafter, we were completely forgotten for about 45 minutes after we gave our drink order. One of us was so tired of waiting, she actually ordered a drink at the bar and was immediately attended to. At 7:50 pm, more than an hour after our arrival, 6 tiny complimentary appetizers were served. They honestly were not good. We then proceeded to wait another 20 min for dinner to be served. It never happened. I spoke with the server who completely understood why we chose to walk out after paying for the drinks. I left the server a 20% tip as I don’t think he should have suffered for the complete ineptitude of the management. It was obvious that it never occurred to the manager, at the very least, that he or she should have at least made an appearance. I find this absolutely outrageous and unacceptable. We all remained cordial and courteous throughout this very unfortunate experience. I have close friends who own gourmet restaurants with whom I shared this incident. They both completely assured me that the manager involved would already be looking for another job

Absolutely stunning. Wife and I celebrated our anniversary here and all of the staff were so friendly and felt genuinely kind.
The menu was out of this world.
