How to book SingleThread

SingleThread is a restaurant with five guest rooms on North Street in downtown Healdsburg, in Sonoma wine country. It is run by chef Kyle Connaughton and his wife Katina Connaughton, the head farmer, and it holds three Michelin stars^1,2,3. It opened at the end of 2016 and earned two stars in 2017⁴.

Before Healdsburg, the couple lived in Hokkaido, where Kyle cooked with Michel Bras and Katina studied sustainable farming, and then in England, where Kyle spent six years at Heston Blumenthal's The Fat Duck^4,6. Much of the produce comes from their own 24-acre farm in the Dry Creek Valley, which grows hundreds of crop varieties along with cut flowers^2,3.

Dinner is a ten-course tasting menu inspired by kaiseki and adjusted to each guest's dietary needs¹. Michelin notes that it opens with a "botanical landscape" of small first bites and that donabe, Japanese clay pots, are a signature for cooking seafood and vegetables³. A 2017 Wine Spectator visit described a meal of three to four hours that can begin in the rooftop garden, and a dining room where tall doors slide open to show the kitchen⁵.

Bookings for the restaurant open on OpenTable at 9am Pacific time on the 1st of each month for the following month. Guests staying at the inn upstairs get a guaranteed table^1,2.
