It was good but not the excellence I expected from a Michelin star restaurant. We were made to wait 15 minutes for our table when more than half the tables were empty, which felt more like having us spend money in the bar than a real need for us to wait. The pace of the courses seemed off.

What an amazing culinary experience! We went celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and the experience did not disappoint! Eric was our server and was very attentive, wonderful explanation of the menu and great recommendations. The entire staff was exceptional and truly crafted an amazing evening. Our view was spectacular of Napa Valley! Reservation was at 5:3pm and timing was perfect. Got to see the beauty of the region before the sunset. Definitely be there before sunsets to capture the beauty. The culinary experience was top notch. I got so engrossed I forgot to capture our second course. We had first course of the corn soup and the chilled lobster. Second course was pan seared ahi tuna and heirloom tomato risotto. Main course was potato gnocchi and prime beef pave. All courses was full of wonderful flavors and depth. We truly enjoyed each bite. Dessert we kept it simple with the trio sorbet and it was a great cleanse of the palette. Overall a wonderful experience worth every penny!

I have dined at this restaurant more times than I care to admit. Over the past 11 years, my favorite brunch item has always been the pancakes. It's hard to order something else because they are always so good. The prix fixe brunch is now $105 which makes ordering pancakes less than enticing, but I did it anyway. The pancakes came out raw. The entire stack. They were cooked on the outside, but when I cut all 4 of them down the middle, they all oozed out raw pancake batter. We alerted the wait staff and while my dining partners finished their main course, I waited for new pancakes. One of the managers came out to apologize. And while I understand that as a prix fixe meal, comping an entire meal is not appropriate, but this is a hotel. They have a lot of options to make this right: even a 10-15% discount off the bill. Anyway... this experience marred my favorite pancakes for me. I will never order them again there, I will stick to ihop. But if I go back... it won't be soon.

As always, the food, service, and view were outstanding. No complaints there at all. Our only problem was several tables around us, mostly with young women, liberally, and loudly using the F word, and generally trashy talk. It would be nice if this could be policed somewhat to improve the experience for the rest of us.

The scallops were great, as usual. My daughter's pork belly appetizer was excellent as well. And the deserts were fabulous. However, the seared tuna was disappointing : it would be far better if there were more slices but thinner ones and a little more searing. The corn soup was good. We had a marvelous corner table on the terrasse and the view never disappoints; the service was terrific. The only caveat was that it was too hot; the afternoon breeze hadn't yet kicked in. Next time we'll come for dinner.

Impossible to beat the view at this restaurant. My wife and I went here to splurge for our anniversary and everything was absolutely amazing. It's expensive to be sure, but I still gave it a 5-star for value because everything was "that good". The Waygu upgrade was worth every penny. Elegant but not stuffy, and you definitely do not need to wear formal attire. Service was outstanding.

Top notch across the board. The service, atmosphere, food, presentation, and attention to detail made for a very special dining experience. It was the first dinner of our honeymoon and it set a high standard. It's a pricy meal but given the location and the average room rate of the hotel, that's to be expected. I would go again... but have to save up first. ;)

It's been remodeled since I was last there (a couple of years ago) but it's still fantastic food, wonderful views out over Napa, and great service. I definitely recommend the outside seating. It is not inexpensive, but its worth it.
