    We reserved a table for Christmas Day dinner. It was outstanding! Valet parking was included with validation. The staff were warm and friendly, and added to the festive atmosphere wearing Christmas-themed attire. 4 course meal with plenty of options. The food tasted great and was custom paired with a different Napa Valley wine for each course. Best Christmas dinner I’ve ever had… and that’s saying a lot, considering I’ve had over 50 years of experience. Thanks for an amazing experience!
