Coyote Sonoma

Coyote Sonoma anchors Healdsburg’s Mill District with a culinary identity that bridges the gap between a relaxed taproom and a refined wine-country kitchen. The menu is defined by a commitment to bold, structured flavors, exemplified by the signature Coyote Burger. This Angus chuck patty is expertly seared to retain its succulent juices, then layered with sharp Gruyere and applewood smoked bacon on a toasted brioche bun. Beyond the grill, the kitchen demonstrates technical versatility with dishes like a house-remix banh mi featuring pork shoulder braised in a fragrant blend of Chinese five-spice and ginger. The aroma of wood-smoke and toasted spices permeates the expansive indoor-outdoor space, while textures range from the crisp snap of house-pickled daikon to the velvety finish of an apricot sourdough bread pudding. It is a sophisticated yet unpretentious exploration of Sonoma’s seasonal bounty and artisanal craft.
