We've eaten here before and have really enjoyed the salads and main dishes. Great desserts and a very extensive mostly Napa based wine list. This is also a restaurant well frequented by the locals - many of which are in the wine industry and during lunches you may often see laptops and other business transactions taking place. |

Oakville www.oakvillegrocery.com founded in 1881, sits just north of the corner of Oakville Cross Road and Highway 29. This is a great place for sandwiches and other high end drinks, snacks and specialty food items (much of which is produced right in the Napa Valley). Eating sandwiches at other sandwich shops won't be as pleasant after you've been exposed to the Oakville Grocery sandwiches. Always crowded around lunch time with both tourists and locals alike. |

Rutherford www.aubergedusoleil.com/html/dining.shtml the wonderful restaurant in this fancy resort |
|||||||||||
| www.latoque.com French inspired fixed price cuisine | |||||||||||
|
www.hillstone.com/#/restaurants/rutherfordGril This is a restaurant we always enjoy and have eaten here a number of times. Excellent California style Cuisine - very popular during the summer - get here early to avoid lines, nice bar - some outdoor seating, weather permitting. Rutherford Grill is a hugely popular restaurant that shares the same parking lot of giant winery Beaulieu Vineyards. As a result of both this restaurants popularity and those who visit BV, parking can be extremely tight here during lunch time. For best results and service show up at 1120am, get your parking and walk into the restaurant by 1130am. Otherwise expect to wait in line for a while and or be there during the height of the crowds. The food is tops - we recommend the grilled artichoke appetizer when in season, heirloom tomato salad, the potato chips with blue cheese, and either the tuna salad or roast beef sandwich for lunch. There are *always* vintners dining in here and is the place to see and be seen in the central part of the Napa Valley. Outside dining is pleasant when weather permits. |

www.taylorsrefresher.com We have eaten here many times. It is located south of St. Helena - serves classic American food - affordable, outside dining available in front or back (the back is preferable b/c its away from the noisy highway). A covered counter top seating with heat lamps is also available. No indoor seating. Good selection of hamburgers. Like blue cheese? Try their blue cheese burger. Also seafood, chicken, soups sandwiches & salads available. In addition they have a good selection of milkshakes and some are seasonable, like their Pumpkin Milkshake. Naturally, White & Red wines are available, considering this restaurant is in the heart of Napa Valley! The Taylor's Refresher next to the Oxbow Public Market in Napa is just as good as their St. Helena location but typically less crowded and the line seems to move a bit faster. |

|
www.frenchlaundry.com high class restaurant - reservations even far in advance (60 days max) are extremely hard to secure and you often will be put on a waiting list (not on their reservation list). 9 course meal - expect 3-5 hours for your dinner! Voted one of the top restaurants in the USA. This restaurant is about the food - but it is also about the dining experience. Ever have a waiter take 3 minutes to pour your drink?! There is a set fare for the courses, but extras are available at additional cost. *Sometimes* they do have cancellations at the last minute so if you are in Yountville and are dressed appropriately try stopping by. |
