This town of Yountville is super upscale and everyone would be so fortunate to visit this beautiful…read moretown!! I absolutely love being here and feel so lucky to be here!!

I wasn't expecting anything fancy, but the premade sandwich I bought here was honestly…read moreembarrassing, especially for a place in Yountville. What I got for $14 was two slices of very dry bread, a stack of thin turkey slices, two curled pieces of mild cheddar cheese (on a turkey sandwich?), a single limp leaf of lettuce and a packet of yellow mustard (Heinz) and mayo. No tomato, no seasoning, no balance of flavors. Just dry bread, turkey, and cheese that doesn't even belong on this type of sandwich. The wrap didn't list ingredients and the deli counter was closed, so there was no way to ask questions or customize anything. I ended up stuck with a premade option that felt like something from a hospital cafeteria rather than a market in the Napa Valley. The bread could have saved it, but even that was just a bland sweet roll with no texture or character. For $13+ they could at least use a decent bread from one of the many local bakeries. As a local, it's disappointing because visitors assume places in Yountville will reflect the food reputation of the area. Unfortunately this didn't come close. I've seen similar feedback in other reviews for the deli, and after this experience I understand why. The sad part is those reviews date back for years and they have obviously fallen on deaf ears. Vote with your dollars folks. If you're heading up valley and want a good sandwich, you're honestly better off stopping at Genova in Napa on the way or continuing just a few minutes up the road to Oakville Grocery. If you only need a quick bottle of wine this is a place for you. I rarely say this, but this was a "never again" for me.

Perfection after celebrating son's wedding. We were fortunate to have great friends who traveled to…read morecelebrate with us and then enjoy the after party in Napa. Hubby was able to nab a private dining room for the 8 of us. Each dish was beautifully displayed and tasted beyond expectations. Luckily we had a resident wine expert to pick the perfect wines to pair with the tasting menu. One friend was vegan and it was impressive what they did to make it just as good as the regular menu. I had requested a kitchen tour and we were surprised to meet Chef Thomas Keller. He was congenial and so welcoming! Apparently the server asked him to wait for us. Per se and French Laundry...two restaurants, both owned by Chef Thomas Keller, both 3 Michelin star but two very different vibes. Loved both! Thomas Keller is a culinary rockstar!

It took us no less than a year to get a reservation even though my partner had a special kind of…read morecredit card where the concierge got priority booking the tables. Needless to say, we were over the moon to finally get a reservation! I foolishly looked at yelp reviews to see what folks were saying, and when I noticed a handful of low reviews I wrote it off as "you can't please everyone". Needless to say, looking at the low reviews now I agree with most of them. I'm sure that at one time this place was the pinnacle of culinary perfection, but the food seemed tortured and the ambience (as one reviewer put it) felt like I was sitting in a Marriott during a bar mitzvah. We were shoved into a small room upstairs with air-conditioning blowing nonstop and tables crammed next to each other. The music was hands-down the worst I have ever heard in a restaurant I think at one point they were playing "Twist and Shout". The one dish we had that was absolutely exceptional and redeemed a star was the oysters and pearls. Holy holy holy, one of the best things I've ever eaten. But everything else? It lacked flavor, depth, and in our case we had to ask for salt although I'm seeing a lot of people said that their food was over salted. Is anyone tasting? And then we had like six or seven desserts which also felt quite unnecessary. We got the kitchen tour, and left with a gift bag, but the whole thing felt very touristy and very much like we had gone to Disneyland and not one of the finest dining experiences available in the United States. A week before, we had gone to the farmers market and gotten some freshly smoked salmon, perfectly ripe strawberries and tomatoes, cultivated butter, and a freshly baked baguette and had a topless picnic in the backyard. I would take that over this experience every time.
