Best Seasonal Restaurants in Rutherford

Excellent food and service as always. Always on our list when we visit Napa

The view! The food! The service! All top notch - definitely a do not miss experience!

From start to finish the tasting menu dazzled. The lobster bisque was very flavorful with a substantial lobster medallion that rounded out the dish. The beef short rib was mouthwatering. Perhaps the addition of broccolini or another vegetable other than the mash potatoes and micro greens would have balanced this dish. It was amazing, just missing something. The caramel budino was out of this world! Be prepared that this tasting menu is just that, ‘tastes’. They are super flavorful and a treat for the senses, however rather small portions. Sadly, we left still peckish. I would still highly recommend this restaurant for a taste of the senses!

When we walked in we were impressed with the open and light modern decor. It felt clean and inviting. The bar is quite impressive and takes the spotlight at the center of the restaurant. We also loved the cozy nooks for more private meals and noticed several larger tables for large parties. The food was very tasty and well-prepared. It was on par with the other fine dining restaurants nearby. There was a lovely outdoor patio that was set up for dining in warmer weather. All in all this is a great place and I will certainly return.

Locals flock to this tiny restaurant. A good sign when several winemakers arrive carrying their own wine. Another is the small menu. Our go-to is the fazzoletti bolognese & spaghetti alle vongole. Is it the homemade pastas? Is it the great value and the warm, unpretentious service? Thank you Jorge. Could it be simply because they are just consistently good? You be the judge. Tip: You’ll need a reservation - it’s small.
