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.
www.aubergedusoleil.com/html/dining.shtml the wonderful restaurant in this fancy resort
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.

for a scrumptious lunch try the Culinary Institute of America - located in an impressive grey-stone building. Also many great wine and food related classes and courses. This is the world's premier culinary college.
an upscale eatery - same owners as Mustards Grill - you can't go wrong at this restaurant! It is located just behind the main street on Railroad Ave (East of Main Street). We have eaten here before and have enjoyed the nice salads, main courses and deserts. This is an intimate dining experience.
developed by the owners of Kuleto Estate Winery - one of the better wine lists of any restaurant in the Napa Valley
Press St. Helena is owned by Leslie Rudd, owner of Rudd Winery and Dean & Deluca specialty store - located right next door to Dean & Deluca
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.adhocrestaurant.com is run by the famous chef of French Laundry, Thomas Keller
famed chef Michael Chiarello's restaurant - focuses on Italian cuisine with his own twist. Fresh ingredients are used, locally grown whenever possible. A meal here is a real treat
the affordable alternative to French Laundry - owned by same chef. Excellent French Bistro cuisine.
Also try the Bouchon Bakery next door - great selection of sandwiches with fresh baked bread, pastries and other deserts. Weather permitting outdoor seating is available. Restaurant locations also in Las Vegas and New York.
Brix serves up seasonal California cuisine in Yountville, - we've enjoyed their tasty fare on more than one occasion. Sunday brunches are back with their new name and new focus! Awesome. In addition, they have a stunning 37-page wine list mostly from Napa vintners.
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.
this is a relaxing place to eat for either Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner - located in front of the Vintage 1870 shopping center in the center of Yountville. An outdoor deck makes a nice place to eat and watch traffic or people walk by. Before or after your meal here browse through Vintage 1870 with its collection of art stores as well as V Wine Cellar's very good selection of Napa & beyond wines.
food from a serious chef with much high end experience opening and working at the most prestigious restaurants world-wide
