Reservations are a must for dinner, months in advance, is recommended. You may
drop in and get lucky, but lots of luck. Lunch reservations are also highly recommended.
You can drop in and take your chances, depending on the season.
Always top
food, wine, fresh flavor, and you can spend a full afternoon here touring the
facility. Visit the web site to learn a lot more. Food is fresh, wine is good,
sauces are very light, service is slow and fast, and try to sit near where the
action is ( where they are cooking ); noisy and busy; family and couples; every
time I have been there the dress has been very casual.
If you go to Napa,
you must make this one of the top places to visit and lunch is fun ( we do one
price fixe and one from the menu plus separate flights of wine just for the experience
).

Easy
to find. Right off the main highway with sign on the road. This is a great resort
and it just happens to be in Napa…tennis, croquet, swimming, for the family or
romance. Expensive, but worth it. You can also enjoy the lunch and dinner and
drink without having a designated driver ( they do not have room service ).
Open for Dinner only, The Sunday Brunch Grille located nearby is open for
lunch.

Actually you cannot miss this restaurant as
it stands alone and is quite unique in color ( yellow ). Food is
wonderful. Atmosphere is casual, friendly, fun. Reservations recommended
for larger groups. Always busy and loud. Very popular spot. ( also
owned by California Café, and you can use your California Café card
here for "points." ) http://www.calcafe.com/napavalleygrille/yountville/
