The Healdsburg steakhouse led by Executive Chef David Lawrence is blazing a trail in Sonoma County. Walking into Goodnight’s Prime Steak + Spirits feels like coming home. Hailing from cattle country, steakhouses have always been a mainstay of my childhood. However, Healdsburg’s best new steakhouse elevates a down-home dining experience with lush design-from warm ambient lighting to plush leather banquettes-and seasonally-inspired takes on chophouse classics. The rugged elegance of Goodnights is inspired by the spirit and legacy of Charles Goodnight, the legendary cattleman of the American West. A cowboy-entrepreneur, Goodnight invented the chuckwagon, which served as a portable kitchen for travelers on the trail and played a vital role in sustaining cattle drives and frontier expeditions.
