 Attractive lounge |
1351 Main St Napa Valley, CA 94574 United States +1 707 963 1969 http://www.1351lounge.com info@1351lounge.com |
Located in a building that used to house a local dive called The Cellar, this hip lounge has been receiving rave reviews. It is a great place to pop in after work and spy on local politicians engaged in animated conversation over a drink, or catch the live music or occassional stand up comic on Friday and Saturday nights. This is a very attractive place with classy decor, excellent service, and an all-around good vibe. The martinis have become a local legend. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Ideal Family Meal |
6476, Washington Street Napa Valley, CA 94599 United States +1 707 944 2487 http://www.adhocrestaurant.com/ |
At the sleek-looking Ad Hoc, chef Thomas Keller takes the average American meal and turns it up a notch. Although the decor may be sparse, with plain white walls and chrome tables, the food is anything but. For starters, ease into the Haricots Verts and Garden Fig Salad, and then move your way up to the Bacalao & Chick Pea Soup. Finish off the night with a heavenly Chocolate Bread Pudding topped with whipped caramel cream. Though pricey, the meals leave you wishing you could eat Keller-style every day.

Ideal for wine lovers |
6795 Washington St Washington Square Napa Valley, CA 94599 United States +1 707 944 8686 http://www.napavalleygrille.com/ Yountville@NapaValleyGrille.com |
The restaurant is famous for its award-winning wine list that only features the best of the Wine Country, including many rare and older vintages. Dine alfresco on a floral-lined patio or admire the view from inside. The decor is a bit stiff, but the strict neutral colors are softened with the abundant presence of florals. The ambiance, however, is romantic and chic enough to bring clients. The menu focuses on flavor, where it is in pastas and risottos, or exotic meats like boar and ostrich. The menu changes regularly to take advantage of fresh, seasonal ingredients. For lighter fare, enjoy small plates offered at the bar. Stop in on Thursday night for Sliders Night when a special slider-beer combination is offered. Located directly off of Highway 29, it's an easy find for both locals and tourists.
