We went to Bistro Ralph for Mother's Day. Bloody Marys were served in a martini glass and were awesome! I had the lamb burger and my wife ordered one of their special eggs benedict. Both were delicious. My only complaint is that we had 10:30 reservations and they couldn't seat us until 11:00. However, it is a small restaurant and... More

We enjoyed our meal here very much. The service was a bit slow, but the waitress was fully aware of how long we waited at the start of the meal and seemed to try to be more attentive, although we were never asked how the meals tasted after we received them. Aside from that, the entrees were straightforward and delicious,... More

Great waitstaff, perfect (although super large) martinis and excellent bistro food. Don't miss the chicken paillard, the wedge salad and the calamari. I rarely have room for dessert - but their hot fudge sundaes and their profiteroles are the best birthday treat imaginable.

The food is consistently good and the service is always fantastic. Have one of the shaken Martinis before you delve into the wine list. This is our go to place when we are in town.

Nothing fancy, but the food is top notch. Great place to stop for lunch while visiting wine country. Varied menu with daily specials. Good wine list.

A good meal, but nothing mind blowing. Service was friendly although somewhat chaotic as it was a busy night. The steak frites was good. Not sure if I'd go back, given other dining options in the area. The noise is my lasting impression of this place, unfortunately.

Every year we go to Bistro Ralph. It's attractive, has good food, great service, & doesn't really change much from year to year.

Chosen at random, we could not have been happier. We sat at the bar and experienced one of the most delightful evenings. Buzzy atmosphere, food incredible. I had the best halibut ever. Staff had us in stitches. Friendly even to the out of towners. We were surrounded by locals, always a good sign. There seems to be quite a following.... More

We have wanted to go here for years and finally was able to have dinner at the bistro last weekend. The place is packed with locals and reservations are highly recommended. The menu choices were amazing and the food could not have been better. Bistro Ralph should be a must do when in Healdsburg. They have a daily special section... More

We visited for St. Patty's Day looking forward to their Sunday Brunch with their Petroni's Bloody Marys and Piper Sonoma Mimosas! Shaken and stirred right at the table this Bloody Mary is always perfectly spiced! Red Flannel Hash with 2 poached eggs couldn't of been any better! We usually get The Bypass on The Naughty's menu. It consists of braised... More
