8 adults from Florida, got resos for Napa Valley Grill Friday night April 13 and AD HOC Saturday night-any opinions, suggestions? Is AD HOC really casual? Should I consider another Yountville restaurant?

birds, 12 hour brine, long buttermilk soaking, fresh herbs in the batter, perfect fry technique. I may never eat fried chicken anywhere else for as long as I live, because I know it will not live up to Ad Hoc. Rest of the meal was...

Hello, I am going to visit a friend who keeps kosher and was thinking of getting her the Ad Hoc at Home cookbook as a housewarming gift. But are there enough recipes that are 1. vegetarian? 2. NOT pork or shellfish 3. Use meat &...

I have a reservation for Ad Hoc next Monday. Based on the posts I’ve read here, it seems like they are alternating between fried chicken and BBQ on Monday nights. I just checked the menu for this past Monday, and it was...

Seems they raised the price to $49 from $48. Now, will they just go to 50 next or or keep the 4 in front? OK, the latter is wishful thinking. Then it would be a true bargain.

Hi, we’re looking for a casual place for dinner in Napa on a Sunday night... Is having an early dinner at Ad Hoc and late dinner at CBK a bad idea? (or even physically possible, without wearing stretchy pants?). If you had...

My trip up to the Northern Cal so I can have my first meal at The French Laundry turned out to be the best food weekend ever (so far). The night before, we tried out Ad Hoc, Thomas Keller’s ‘comfort food’...

I haven’t seen any mentions of this, so I wanted to post that Ad Hoc has started offering a barbecue night every other Monday – alternating with the (in)famous fried chicken night. They’ve been offering...

We have reservations at Ad Hoc next Monday night for dinner on our way back to the Oakland Airport. We are pretty certain that it won’t be fried chicken night, since it was last night. We had a back up reservation at...

Is FL worth $240 per person? Or, is Ad Hoc a dining experience that I will be likely to enjoy given the fact that the meal is family style, prix fixe and no options? How about Terra? Or Redd? Any thoughts?

? Ubuntu—lunch Redd—dinner The French Laundry—dinner (anything else other than requesting donuts?) ad hoc—dinner on Monday (I guess it’s a set menu & it’s fried chicken night. Anything else?) Thanks...

One knock that Ad hoc gets occasionally is that they generously season their food, and this comes off as salty for some. Some dishes deal with this more than others. Might want to keep that in mind when you look at the menu. We...

Sorry to hear about your mediocre experience. The chicken you described was definitely not the same fried chicken I had at Ad Hoc - mine was flavorful, juicy and tender. I hope your experience was an anomaly. I know they just...

Hi guys. LA Hound has two dinners in Napa- I am choosing between Ad Hoc, Terra and Redd. where would you go? thanks very much...
