We came here for dinner after a tasting across the street at Jessup Cellars. Everything we chose from the Happy Hour & regular menu was excellent, as were our drinks and wine menu choices. We were a party of 6. Our server was extremely nice, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Despite changes last year, the new chef provides outstanding cooking and continues the great reputation of this restaurant. Our favorite in Yountville despite major competition ! Service-oriented and most friendly waiters and waitresses complement the great food experience in this outstanding restaurant. Keep it going, we'll be back many more times.

Had a wonderful Happy Hour experience today. Our server, Karen, could not have been more accommodating, helpful, friendly and professional. She definitely elevated our experience. The food was good, the outside eating area was charming. Good value. Will definately be back.
A lovely and quiet restaurant. Duke was a knowledgeable server and both he and the wait staff were efficient and friendly. Lobster bisque was super delicious. The pasta with crab shavings was also very tasty.

Haven't been in for a while, and the wait was pretty much worth it. They've grown into their spot here. Karen, our server, was outstanding. Also met David a new hire (3 months) on the management side of things. As a local, we live in SoYo and the restaurant is in NoYo, we appreciate the waived corkage. My wife had the grouper, which was outstanding. I had the Cacio de Peppa, which was 'ok'. The recommended budino for dessert was over the top.

For a restaurant in a hotel. This place is awesome. I took my wife for her Birthday and she loved it. The attention to detail of the servers is on point. Watch them serve other tables and it looked like they were dancing. I would highly recommend. But be prepared to break the bank :)

I did not know what to expect here but I am so glad to have gone. Would go again. The chefs do some marvelous pairings of fruits & vegetables in the salads. Almost magical! The homemade pasta was just enough, tasty & satisfying. The beef was a total treat: the NY strip steak. I would order the creamy potatoes & foraged mushrooms again. Great bar drinks & wonderful wine list. Many dishes are made to share.

I picked North Block for lunch, it is elegant, food, service & parking are perfect. Our servers, Alex & Karen were fantastic as well. We had incredible butternut squash soup with pepitas, creme fraiche, Fantastic! Wild King Salmon with quinoa & braised cauliflower! Wine list is good too. See photos; WE WILL be back again. ????Parking: No problem! ?

The Restaurant at North Block (hotel) went through at least two stages of evolution before arriving at today's very attractive offering. The decor is striking yet comfortable, with visually stunning giant moonlights and a high ceiling that encourages conversation. The menu is a short list of expertly executed, fresh, modern versions of favorite dishes, usually with an innovative but not silly twist. The wine list is similarly short, with thoughtful selections offering excellent value from local and international producers. The staff well trained, welcoming, and efficient. Highly recommended by this wine industry local, who especially appreciates the stellar burger and the steamed mussels.

Stayed here last summer but never got the chance to try the restaurant. Yesterday we happened to be in the area to pick up some wine and decided to give it a shot. The restaurant itself is really nice. Elegant and simple on the inside and nice outdoor seating as well. They have a really interesting menu that has something for everyone. And a pretty good sized wine and cocktail list. The service here is excellent! From the host, to our waiter, to the busser, the service was on point. The food was very tasty. We split the farm salad, margherita flat bread, and the pasta bolognese. Perfect portion sizes and great flavors. We topped it off with a caramel budino for dessert which was amazing. This place is great. Will definitely be back!

Great location for brunch. Beautiful patio area and probably one of the best bloody marys I have had in a long while.
It was our first time at The restaurant at North Block. We had the Napa restaurant week lunch menu. The food was delicious, servings were generous and service was attentive but not hovering. We will return soon.

My sister and I went for a spontaneous dinner during restaurant week. We selected their restaurant week special prix fixe menu and had charred octopus, risotto, braised short ribs and a scotch caramel pot de crème. It was delicious and the service was good as well.
