Coyote Sonoma — Restaurant in Healdsburg

I have been here three times since its been re-opened under new management. I love the new menu! I have tried the beef cheeks (DROOL!!!), the Coyote burger without the bun, which was amazing, the pecan crusted salad (Yum), the cauliflower hummus (I just love that, lots of flavor), and the chicken wings, which are delicious. The sauce is nice and creamy, not too spicy, and it definitely felt like you are getting your money's worth with the amount of wings on the plate. The beer selection is awesome, what a HUGE step up from what it was before. I am usually picky when it comes to my beers and its evident that these are all fresh, lot's of variety too.

The space is huge and unique in that it's ,mostly outside with the inside separated by large rollup doors. It kind of has that cool urban feel that many of the great places have in Portland.

The service has gotten a lot better. It seems like the staff is happier now, more than before when I came here before the shutdown when it was under the old management. It WAY cleaner now, the food is amazing, and the place just looks cleaner and organized, well put together. Bravo to the new management team. They are definitely rocking busy, so be ready to make a reservation otherwise there will likely be a wait. They are the hot new place in town.

I come here for trivia, which is always fun. I know they do karaoke, sounds like a good time too. The space is setup for music and parties if and when that can happen, it looks like a rad spot for a rehearsal dinner or engagement party (shuffle board and ski ball too).

I am a huge foodie and I love trying new places when they first roll out but I like to go back a few times before I make my star rating permanent on Yelp :). Check them out, I highly recommend.

Covid notes: they are doing an excellent job with keeping things clean and sanitized, the tables spaced out, and all...

This was a disappointing part of a recent visit to Healdsburg. After staying at an affiliated b&b in town we attempted to walk over to get lunch and enjoy a complementary wine tasting, but as we approached it was clear there was some sort of event underway occupying part of the location. The bartender made a heroic effort to make it clear we could still hang out at the bar and buy not-wine, trying to avoid saying clearly that the kitchen was closed and our tasting plans were impossible. Signage and communication on the web site could have been much better, and we left to walk back to town...

Such a disappointment. Oh well, this experience tonight will save us time in the future from returning. Burnt food was just one of the disappointments. Ladies room out of toilet paper at 6:00 pm, canned cocktails, and random basketball game on all screens during scheduled ( and requested) Warriors game also added to our early departure. Free concert showcased talented band, but lead singer was screechy and drove us out the door. I never thought a singer could make a mockery out of Mick Jagger and Prince together within 30 minutes so perhaps a congratulations...
