Why this room is hard

It is not a Tock problem. It is a drive-and-room problem.

Kyle and Katina Connaughton opened SingleThread in Healdsburg in 2016 and pulled three Michelin stars within three years. The eleven-course Japanese-Californian tasting menu is paired with a stay-over option in the rooms upstairs, and the kitchen is one of the most controlled rooms in the country.

Tock releases seats two months ahead. Saturday seatings are gone in the first ten minutes. The on-site inn books separately and is the easier path to the dining room itself.

Three stars. Eleven courses. Five rooms upstairs.

The three rules

How we work this room.

Three commitments that apply to every SingleThread request, every night the kitchen is open. No fine print, no surcharges, no surprises at the door.

Your card is authorized when you submit the request. We charge it only when we confirm your table. No confirmation, no charge. Ever.

Authorize, do not capture

You walk in to SingleThread and the table is yours, held for your party at your time.

What to expect

Five steps, start to seated.

You ask.

Tell us the night, the time window, the party size. Two minutes on this page. Card on file, not charged.

We confirm the request.

An operator reviews the request, checks the room, and sends a confirmation that we are working it. Usually within thirty minutes.

We work the room.

We reach the floor manager directly, by phone or by text, depending on the night. We do not refresh Resy. We make a call.

You are confirmed.

We charge the card and send your confirmation — the time and the name to give the host.

You eat.

Walk into SingleThread, give your name at the host stand, sit down. The room takes it from there. We do not see you again until the next request.
