    Lucy is so under utilized. Tourists don't come this foody haven to eat in a hotel restaurant but Lucy shouldn't be thought of that way. I wrote a review early in our 12 year tenure in Yountville that when the famous restaurants tell you there is a spot at 5:15 or 8:45, go to Lucy! Or go anyway. In good weather (most of the year) it is beautiful in the outside shady or sunny (you choose) seating areas. The hotel itself is loaded with interesting art. On the outside find your way to "Stonehenge".) We went for dinner on Valentines Day a couple of weeks ago, and lunch today. Food excellent both times; service just a smidge slow but perhaps intentionally so as it is such a lovely spot.
