My new favorite in the Napa Valley. Fresh ingredients and excellent flavors. Service was outstanding. I had the soup vegetable with white beans and a dash of fresh pesto. The Caesar salad perfectly dressed. Had a side of polenta. Fantastic. Perfect dinner out.

Our server was wonderful! We were celebrating my boyfriend’s 12 years of sobriety and the team created a special menu saying “congratulations on 12 years!” At the top. Such a nice touch and very sweet of them. We will be back :)
