Jimtown and Then Sum — Restaurant in Healdsburg

Ohhh! It's the new Jimtown and Then Sum!! We are over the moon that Michelle Wood has landed in Alexander Valley at the historic and well known Jimtown, now known as Jimtown and Then Sum.

Michelle and her amazing staff catered our wedding this past June 2024 at Medlock Ames Historical Tasting Room (almost next door!), and we couldn't have been happier with how everything went. The passed apps were incredible (and likely will all be featured at the new Jimtown and Then Sum). We are huge fans of dim sum and are so tickled that we will be able to grab dim sum while up in Alexander Valley. Wow. Back to the wedding food - her staff did an amazing grazing table complete with every cured meat and fancy cheese you can imagine. And then the dinner - it was all so lovely! Her cuisine has an Asian flair which we love and it was so different from the typical wedding food. My favorite is her Buddha bowl - glass noodles and veggies. Yum!

The next time you're up in Alexander Valley you will definitely want to pop by Jimtown and Then Sum for some yummy dim sum treats and other yummies from Michelle... you can also stop by Medlock Ames on that corner there for some delicious wine (and incredible hosts too!) and end with a splash of wine from Jimtown's next door neighbor, Hawkes - just as fabulous wine.

The secret is out... this little stretch of Alexander Valley is...

This "used" to be a low key, fairly priced, place to pick up lunch in the middle of nowhere. Now it's just a trendy tourist trap. The portions are skimpy, the prices outrageous. I purchased one of their signiture "Jimtown" subs, made from about 1/8th of a baguette, (took up fewer square inches on the plate than my cell phone). The sandwich was prepacked, not fresh, skimpy with ingredients and cost $9. Walked out disgusted, holding 3 sandwiches in my palm for $27! After years of recommending them, I will instead tell folks to take the extra time to drive to Healdsburg, where you can still find value and fair portions. One last note, it seems the days of just walking in, ordering your food and the simply finding a table to eat at are over too. Now, you either get your food to go or wait (...and wait) at a table for a server. This place was a market, not...

Michelle and her crew recently catered my son's wedding dinner for 150 guests at a home in Healdsburg. The menu was entierly finger-type food and included vegan and vegetarian options: shrimp spring rolls, tofu spring rolls, crispy mushroom bao, braised pork bao, meatball sliders on green onion pancakes, and a taco bar with carnitas, chicken and tofu/peppers fillings and multiple salsas. The food was delicious (including guest comments!) and perfect for the venue and the relaxed atmosphere. We definitely picked a great provider who came up with a great dinner. They used our kitchen to complete prep and cooking and left it in immaculate condition. The food and service really made the evening a...
