Partake By K-j - Healdsburg

We ate here for the first time during Restaurant Week. My wife and I both chose the $39 3 course dinner plus wine paring, and deliberately made different choices from the menu, to taste the maximum number of dishes. The food was universally very good relatively simple preparations done well. However the amount of food was very small we were both thinking of things to munch on when we got home. The wine pairing (at $10/person) was exceptional! We were each of served three glasses (not full but substantial) of really good K J wines, which was a great value. The restaurant is very small, and the noise level was higher than I would have liked. Service was simply perfect. If only there was a little more food.

Our first visit was a great experience good food, wine value. We were excited to come back again and since it was Valentine's Day, we thought it would be even more special. Well, this menu was definitely not as good as our first time. And of course, since it was a holiday, the price went way up. How unfortunate because the food was not exciting at all. The regular menu consisted of lamb steak courses and the garden menu had a boring salad gnocchi. The best part was probably the wine.

Greg was our server. He was one of the best servers I've ever had. He knew the wine list extensively and provided great guidance for the food pairings. He made our dining experience both memorable and exceptional. Also, every dish we had was delicious and every glass of wine we had was special.

Food and service were great. The choice of wine to pair with the food was great. It was both a fun meal and great experience.

The staff at this restaurant is extremely accommodating, knowledgeable, and friendly. With prior notice, we were able to enjoy a delicious multi-course vegan dinner. The portions were just right and the wine pairing was perfect. We loved the creative incorporation of mushrooms in multiple dishes. I also want to mention that KJ has a wonderful culinary garden at their tasting room in Santa Rosa that is definitely worth a visit, although I'm not sure if the Healdsburg restaurant sources produce from there.
