The main draw at this Wine Country mainstay is "an idyllic setting" that includes the option to dine on a patio overlooking the Napa Valley. Add Robert Curry's French cuisine and the "expert service" to the mix and you have one of the area's most popular spots. Curry's cuisine has an Asian tinge to it these days, as in a dish of poached Hopper shrimp with green papaya, grapefruit, cilantro and curry or Liberty Farms duck with philo apples, glazed chestnuts, bacon, cocoa nib and an anise sauce. The lovely setting wasn't lost on our reviewers, who offered comments like "gorgeous restaurant, amazing food, very elegant - recommended for a long, leisurely lunch," "Beautiful views over the vineyards make for a magical meal" and "You can't go wrong with a platter of oysters and a glass of Champagne while watching a spectacular Napa Valley sunset." |
