After my initial confusion about the menu selections, I found out that we had reviewed the after hours menu because we were seated at approx midnight. The reg dinner menu will be worth trying, make reservations! I’ve had bites at Bouchon while at the bar…‘twas gr8! Love the ambience in the locale. The buzz is always on and it’s fun to laugh & smile when my Napa Valley neighbors are out and about town. Prices are very reasonable, you’ll get hit with the wine lists…should be another fun date!

Not sure why we have 2 listings 4 Bouchon Bakery in the “restaurant” list. Anyways, hands down, this is the finest bakery you’ll find. Don’t ask questions, just go and select your morning pastry w/ a cappucino, latte, or double espresso. Breakfast and lunch…you’ll be satiated and just floored. When I’m driving down or up Highway 29 I always consider a quick pit stop at Bouchon Bakery…just might find a good mate doing the same thang. Bon Chance!

Why didn’t I say yes when I was invited for the opening??? Aghh! Must have had reservations elsewhere…my review will follow ;-) Gotta get here though!

Amazing! Reservations required! Get there by 5:30pm, enjoy a cocktail at the bar. The menu and wine lists are lengthy and very impressive. Definitely go with various menus paired with wines. Price approx between $150-$200…very reasonable. The mushroom menu, chef’s menu, and meat/fish/veg menus are all spectacular. The service is great…and I simply remember being amazed at the food & wine pairings…going back soon! Thanks for an amazing evening to both Rick & Jen ;-)

Consistently good. Sit on the balcony overlooking the 1st tee of the picturesque nine hole golf course. Enjoy a glimpse of the crochet court as well. Home of ANV (Auction Napa Valley) Meadowood knows how to host and prep food. The Grille is a fab place for a business lunch or a casual afternoon get 2gether. Reserve a spa treatment and/or plan your day relaxing at the pool…you need not go anywhere once you arrive on site. Soak it up! And come back to St. Helena soon, or move here and join the community!

Can Leslie Rudd do wrong? This restaurant is perched right next door to the St. Helena location of Dean & DeLuca (other location is in NYC). Again, amazing bar! Sit down and enjoy an filling entree, plenty ’o meat varieties on the menu. Or, as we of the St. Helena community love most, enjoy an array of appetizers and share the goods. Fish tacos are amazing and the asparagus is gr8 as well. Save room for dessert…the specialty takes 15 minutes to prepare in advance. French press to accompany the sweet.

Gr8 menu! Absolutely enjoy the food, bar, and ambience. The decor is fab, and if you enjoy world markets check out the pics mounted on the stone wall. The lunch menu of soup/sandwich/cookie is consistently good. Dinner: Chop Market Salad, Wild Kind Salmon w/ Chanterelles, and that Buttermilk Fried Chicken…wow! Camp out w/ the Smores for dessert, cappucino to end. Don’t forget to enjoy some nice vino, a bottle of Terra Valentine perhaps? www.terravalentine.com

I’ve only heard fantastic stories from those that dare to dig in to their pockets so deep ;-)

Chef Reddington always delivers the goods. The bar menu is an absolute first rate place for a dinner date, hope you’re reading ;-) The foods are fab: green salad, oysters, and a slammin’ tuna tartare, we loved it! Full course sit down meals are very nice as well…I’d recommend going with an assortment of all the appetizers just to get an array of flavors. When might you be back in Yountville, CA for dinner again, unless you’re living local like me? Soak it up…and take a stroll for the desserts at Bouchon.
