Hazel Hill

Hazel Hill brings a refined yet approachable take on New American cuisine to the heart of Healdsburg’s wine country. This intimate restaurant has carved out a niche among discerning diners who appreciate thoughtful preparation and locally-sourced ingredients without the pretension that sometimes accompanies fine dining in Sonoma County.

The menu showcases seasonal California ingredients with creative twists that elevate familiar flavors. Standout dishes include their pan-seared duck breast with cherry gastrique, house-made pasta with wild mushrooms and truffle oil, and a show-stopping braised short rib that falls off the bone. The wine list thoughtfully features both renowned Sonoma County producers and lesser-known gems that pair beautifully with the chef’s creations.

The dining room strikes an elegant balance between rustic wine country charm and contemporary sophistication. Exposed brick walls are softened by warm lighting and fresh flowers, while the open kitchen creates an engaging energy without overwhelming conversation. The covered patio offers a serene escape with views of the surrounding hills, making it perfect for lingering over dinner as the sun sets.

Hazel Hill represents the kind of neighborhood gem that makes Healdsburg special – serious about food and wine but never stuffy. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to experience thoughtful New American cuisine in a relaxed setting, this restaurant delivers a memorable evening that captures the essence of Sonoma County’s culinary scene.
