I know you’re a big fan of Ubuntu, Brix for brunch and happy hour, and Fremont Diner. You mention them often. What are your impressions of other Napa Valley restaurants, if you have visited them? I wonder if you can place...

years ago, which was very nice and informative. i have heard the town of sonoma is nice. and i have read about buena vista and v. sattui off this board, both sound great. does anyone have any other recs? btw, my friend wants to do...

I would skip Celadon. Had a very unsatisfactory dinner there two weeks ago: slapdash service and mediocre food. A real quality drop from previous visit. Be advised that the old mill where Celadon is located (next to Napa River...

OK Napa Valley locals. Need some help with a burger decision in Napa. Heading out solo tonight and just want somewhere to grab a really good burger and a glass of wine at the bar. I love Taylors and Andie’s but looking for...

I can’t say there are amazing Italian rsetaurants in Napa Valley. The best I can suggest is Bistro Don Giovanni on HWY 29 just north of the town of Napa. But I would not say it is amazing. Also there is Tra Vigne too on HWY...

Introducing … the fried Squeezeburger.

want to know where the best meals to be had are in the Napa Valley. I’ve searched the board, and the information is pretty spread out. Also, if anyone has some wineries that they especially love for generally great...
