Chef Valette honed his craft in some of the most celebrated \"Sonoma<\/a>restaurants on the West Coast; including the Michelin-starred Aqua in San Francisco, Napa Valley\u2019s Bouchon, and Dry Creek Kitchen, a Charlie Palmer restaurant in downtown Healdsburg.<\/p>\n

\"Sonoma<\/a>The dream of Valette Healdsburg began some 15 years ago amongst two brothers. Dustin Valette and Aaron Garzini were sitting at their father\u2019s house overlooking the Alexander Valley. Over a glass of wine the two dreamt of opening a restaurant that showcased all Sonoma County has to offer.<\/p>\n

Opening a restaurant together is a dream come true for both brothers. \u00a0The combination of Chef Valette\u2019s culinary acumen \"Sonoma<\/a>featuring fresh, local ingredients and Aaron\u2019s savvy ability to provide a warm and authentic environment has brought these two local brothers full circle, back to the land they are from, and working together in the industry they love.<\/p>\n

\"Sonoma<\/a>Valette was born in spring 2015; Chef Valette offers the intense, flavorful, and dynamic cuisine.<\/p>\n

House made charcuterie was a real treat. The furikake crusted Hawaiian ahi tataki; the flavors were delightful. The smoked lamb
\n\"Sonoma<\/a>sausage \u201cBanh Mi\u201d with a twisted, bold flavor, a Vietnamese influenced dish. The chicken fried chicken with organic salad, buttermilk dressing was also fantastic.<\/p>\n

Our favorite dish was the Day Boat Scallops en Croute, fennel, caviar, Champagne Beurre \"Valette\"<\/a>Blanc was one of the most creative scallop dish. It was balanced, tasty, smooth, and explode in your mouth.<\/p>\n
