Why go
The Second Story was a special-occasion, plant-based tasting-menu room upstairs at Little Saint in Healdsburg, built around seasonal farm produce and a technically minded kitchen. It was closed by October 2024, so treat it as a notable recent Healdsburg dining reference rather than an active booking target.
About The Second Story
The Second Story in Healdsburg is best described from the basics: a Californian restaurant priced at $120 per person, with a smart casual dress code and a short list of noted dishes.
The clearest appeal is for diners who want a planned Healdsburg meal rather than a casual fallback. The price point is $120 per person, with Californian cooking and signature dishes such as carrot yeast, aebleskiver, summer vegetables with smoked tomatoes, and stone fruit with almond and basil.
Californian cooking is the reason to book
The dish list is the best guide to the restaurant’s point of view. Named dishes include carrot yeast, aebleskiver, summer vegetables with smoked tomatoes, and stone fruit with almond and basil. Those examples are the clearest grounded reason to book: consider The Second Story for Californian cooking, not because of any claim about a specific tasting-menu format or dietary category.
Better fit is a guest who is comfortable confirming the current menu and booking terms before committing, especially at $120 per person.
The price and setting shape expectations
At $120 per person, The Second Story sits in special-occasion territory for many diners. The dress code is smart casual, which points to a polished but not overly formal meal in Healdsburg. That makes it a natural consideration for a date night, anniversary, or food-focused meal when the current offering matches what the table wants.
The strongest planning approach is to use the confirmed price, cuisine, dress code, and signature dishes as the frame, then check current restaurant details before booking.
Who should have this on the list
