“Auberge du Soliel never disappoints. It is pricey, but defiunitely worth it for special occasions. The view out over the Napa Valley is special. The service is top-notch. Everyone works together to provide a fantastic dining experience. The food is always great, and never boring. Everyone who can afford it should make the trip and have a great experience.”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining here for lunch, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the breathtaking views and inviting atmosphere. The food surpassed all expectations. Each dish was bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. From the appetizers to the dessert, every bite was a culinary delight. The staff at this place is incredible. Their professionalism and attention to detail made me feel like a valued guest. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Overall, my lunch was exceptional in every way. The combination of stunning views, delicious food, and impeccable service made me feel like I was on a vacation. I can't wait to return and enjoy another memorable meal.”

“Fabulous wine tasting on 3/17/24.Mel did a wonderful job sharing the history of Grgich and her knowledge of wine, growing conditions, and organic practices was impressive. She was perceptive about our interests and taste preferences and tailored the experience rather than just doing a “canned” presentation, making the tasting educational and enjoyable!”

“We really enjoyed the unique caves here, fully upgraded in 2023, these are easily the most modern caves we have seen in napa. Our guide was very friendly, and the chateau is beautiful. Wines were pricey compared to what we'd seen in europe, charcuterie board was a nice touch.We would have liked to learn a little more about the ancient history of winemaking, the origins of winemaking, etc, like we had learned at other wineries, but that bears no impact on the positive experience we had here!”

“Round Pond is an amazing vineyard. The large palms welcoming you along the driveway are unique yet fitting. From there, it only gets better. The staff is full of knowledge and tips while the chef in the kitchen adds a tremendous touch of passion for his plates. The mustard is amazing. Their juice ? Well, that speaks for itself! All of their wines were very good. I, being a red guy, was delightfully surprised by the Rosato De Nebbiolo. Be sure to take a walk through their farm and pay a little attention to the base of the walking paths... very impressed with all round pond has to offer.”

“Add this place to your list! I ate here multiple times during our stay in Napa and locals would recommend it too. The quesadillas are massive and can easily be shared.”

“Great experience here. Great guide today , Manny was very informative. The grounds and porch are beautiful. The wines are organic and some of the best around Highly recommend Frogs Leap”

“We had such a great tasting even though this was our 3rd for the day...which is max for Napa. Every wine was enjoyable, our wine host was so fun and answered every crazy question we asked. Then he picked a final tasting based on what we liked which ended up being our favorite!”

“One of our favorite places. We went there for our anniversary. Ended up eating in the outside area which is only drinks and appetizers but it was great. We ended up ordering 2 orders of the smoked salmon(a must) and tried 4 different wines....Chappelle Cab was the best. Will go back soon.”

“We arrived in Glen Ellen after a long car ride. I chose to crash at the hotel, but my husband wasn't going to miss a chance to eat at Glen Ellen Star. A week later I am still hearing about the other-worldly bananas foster he had for dessert! :-) We love this place so much that when we plan a weekend getaway we stay in Glen Ellen and drive over the hills to visit Napa and St. Helena just to be near our favorite restaurant, the Glen Ellen Star.”

“Stoped here with friends for dinner. None of us have ever been here so we went in with open minds and ready to be fed some good food!! So many choices to dine. Inside the restaurant, outside tables or cute yurts that seem to seat about 4 comfortably. Inside is beautiful and rustic. Very comfortable not pretentious. We were given menus but really didn't understand the process until our food server explained that side dishes are served family style in Le Cruset casserole dishes, you just need to pick a couple of proteins to go with them. Our choices: a full loaf of sourdough, fresh picked veggies and their own dip, braised leeks that are meant to be served cold, a whole deboned chicken and a filet of sturgeon. Everything was beyond incredible!! So much flavor!! Everything was extremely fresh. We kept making yum noises and saying OMG after tasting each dish. We couldn't have been happier. All our dishes seemed to compliment each other so well. Our food server was SO KNOWLEDGEABLE...she knew just the right wine to suggest with it and we took her suggestion. She really went ABOVE and BEYOND her job. No I can see whay she was training someone...she really knows the fine art of turning someone's dinner into an experience!! I wish I would have taken pictures but we were too busy eating. 5 stars Charter Oak! You exceeded in all aspects!”

“The hand pulled mozzarella. That is all that needs to be said. If you come here you MUST order the hand pulled mozzarella. All the other food was really good, but I cannot say enough about the mozzarella. Would recommend with the house made pesto.”

“So our family has a friendly competition to locate the best fish tacos anywhere. And I am a chili relleno snob so we stopped here on my daughter-in-law's suggestion and unfortunately she wins or maybe fortunately? The fish tacos were better than anything I've ever had and the chili Anna was above average so I can strongly recommend this place for the food. We had to wait about 10 minutes at the register even though they were open at 11:00 which bothers me a little bit because if you're going to open the front door you should be ready to go. But other than that the food came out promptly and was beyond amazing”

“Great location and delicious Mexican food. Prices actually not bad for Yountville. Wait-staff was very attentive and we were lucky to get a table without reservations.”

“Delicious vegan and gluten free options! Great service! We went with several people with dietary restrictions and they made it easy to have delicious food prepared to our needs. Definitely returning!”

“My wife and I had dinner earlier tonight. We shared Sashimi, Caesar Salad, Gnudi, and Black Cod. All were excellent except for the Black Cod which had great flavors but was drowned in oil. Service was excellent although a bit on the fast side. WIth those courses and no desert, we were done in under an hour. Wine prices were on the high side, so we took advantage of the $25 corkage fee. The joint was jumping and quite noisy, but it was still possible to converse. We will definitely return!”

“My family and I have eaten at Farmstead many, many times, and the service, food, drinks and ambience is always great and a wonderful experience. The food and wine selections perfectly complement the flavors for an elevated dining experience. The portions are generous, especially the Heritage St. Louis Ribs and the California Arborio Rice - definitely shareable plates. The desserts are always on point. My favorite is the Scharffen Berger Chocolate Cream Pie - house made with a thick graham cracker crust and whipped cream. If you are looking for a true farm to table experience, showcasing fresh and flavorful ingredients from their garden, ranch and vineyards, Farmstead delivers. Price: $$$ Food: ***** Service: ***** Cuisine: American Farmhouse I highly recommend Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch!”

“The food was great. The cornbread was actually better than my cornbread surprisingly and I make a really great cornbread. The service was good. The ambience was nice. I definitely will be back and bringing more friends.”

“If you ever have the opportunity to dine at the Gatehouse Restaurant at the CIA you must! The best and most innovative food you will find. We have dined at Michelin restaurants and this was matching the experience. Our server Abby (student of CIA) was amazing. Personable, knowledgeable and professional.”

“The seven different meals with seven wine pairings were AMAZING!Each wine enhanced the flavor of the dishes perfectly, making both the foods and the wines incredibly enjoyable. The Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon were our favorites. It was a highly satisfying time with my parents. Ann welcomed and guided us was exceptionally passionate, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Chef John also skillfully introduced the delicious dishes, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy the lunch. I love to recommend this place to all my family and friends!”

“Wonderful place. We tried all the specials. Bean soup (delicious). Pot roast (so tender). Beignets (straight from New Orleans).I really appreciated the portions, and that they were willing to split the entrées between me and my partner without any hassle. The wine list is also above reproach. Great variety of Sonoma county and external wines. Looking at you Bonny Doon from Aptos.When we come back to Glen Ellen, this will be on the list to visit again.”

“Nice to sit in the beautiful gardens and sip a glass of their cabs (or whatever suits your fancy). There are also beautiful sculpture and landscape design. Elegance service and setting.”

“Great little restaurant in the valley. This place was recommended by several of our hosts at various tastings. Food was awesome. Everyone recommended we get the "fresh mozzarella thing" as an appetizer. It's not actually on the menu but we ordered and it was delicious. Also split a Tiramisu for desert, it was the best ever!”

“We just returned home to Ohio after having visited Caymus in Napa. Elizabeth was our host and she was fabulous. We are a long-term fan of Caymus and have been there several times a year. We love the wine but we enjoy the experience as much or more. We would highly recommend them. We will definitely be back. Love, Bockhorsts”

“I was highly recommended to make the drive up to Pride by a well respected winery Ambassador. I did not have a reservation but thought I would take the chance, the drive up is stunning, and challenging so ensure you have a designated driver if you are tasting. Upon arrival I was greeted by Nicole. After letting her know I did not have a reservation she was very welcoming and appreciated I had made the drive and had been personally recommended by another winery Ambassador. Nicole spent considerable time with me introducing me to their great variety of quality wines and sharing the story of Pride and the unique position they are on, both up in the hills and with vineyards in two different counties. It was worth the drive. Thank you Nicole and Pride.”

“They don't need more good reviews, everyone knows this is THE PLACE. But they deserve more so here we go! Quality sandos for years, fresh ingredients, amazing cheese selection (the high quality cheese on your sando makes allll the difference). Staff is always super friendly and take home some of their Giugni sauce/dressing/marinade. Seriously we use this on everything. There's a reason this place has been here for years. Go, wait in the line if there is one, get a sando, you will never regret it.”

“The pastries, coffee and other baked goods are so memorable. I don't know how someone could just get one thing! The staff had electric personalities and very quick, which got people moving. There was about five people ahead of me but I was served in less than five minutes it felt like. I got an oatmeal latte with plenty of pastries. This is a must go to bakery! There's an outside and indoor seating area. Plenty of room for friends, family, and your pets!”

“Amazing service from all staff providing excellent customer service!! Marcio was fantastic and assisted our family with impeccable communication and professional & friendly service!! All areas of our dining experience were phenomenal! Food was just delicious and such a huge variety. Galpão is a beautiful restaurant for all special occasions to just enjoying family and friends. Highly recommend!!”

“Omg ? I just discovered this taco truck recently - I work in Yountville and everything is so expensive there!! The other place that I regularly go is the deli but I was getting tired of my turkey sandwich every day. I’ve had the taco salad (it’s not on the menu board but just ask for it) the nacho’s and 3 Street tacos ? it is all SUPER DELICIOUS!! Cash only so you have to come prepared!!”

“Perfect experience! Delicious wine & professional staff! Katie was wonderful! We joined the wine club without hesitation. We can’t wait to visit again. This place is magical!”
