Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Napa and Sonoma right now.
Farm-to-table Modern American cuisine is the prevalent style in the Napa Valley and Sonoma County, but this encompasses both the delicate preparations of Yountville’s Thomas Keller, whose restaurants include The French Laundry, and the upscale comfort food served throughout the Wine Country. The quality (and hype) often means high prices, but you can find appealing, inexpensive eateries, especially in Napa, Calistoga, Sonoma, and Santa Rosa.
Down-home Southern cuisine with modern flourishes remains the mission of this retro-yet-au-courant roadside restaurant—originally the Fremont Diner—whose vineyard-view outdoor patio has a backyard-party vibe. Local families and tourists savor biscuits and gravy, hash-brown casserole, and the fried-chicken waffle for breakfast, with more fried chicken, multiple burgers and barbecue dishes, and a sloppy-good shrimp po'boy among the lunchtime attractions.
