Best Authentic Restaurants in Wine Country

Loved the food! I'm a local and this is my favorite restaurant by far. Had to wait quite a while before drink orders were taken but after that it was quick, though various waiters came by not knowing who had what. Our personal waiter was a bit strange, almost like a stoned game show host, but whatever. Love, love LOVE the food, you could set my table on fire and I'd still come back.

Absolutely fabulous plates! While the menu is small and doesn’t change often, their specials for the day are a great addition to the choices.  One thing you have to do is learn how to say no because the waiters will offer you all these extras after you say no and no again…  a bit annoying but we get through it. 

I brought a group of 7 and we had a wonderful round table so everyone could visit and, as always, the food was amazing and the service was friendly and attentive.

Great experience. Excellent food and friendly service. Will definitely return.

My wife and I went to dinner at this new restaurant in the center of St Helena to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary. We started the evening with a cocktail and a variety of breads and bread sticks served with humus and olive oil. The waiters and hostess were nice and attentive, for example in helping us each pick a glass of wine to suit our individual palates and menu selections. We tried the Caesar salad, spinach and mushroom soup, the fresh pasta ravioli, a pork chop and finished with the chocolate souffle. I especially enjoyed the ravioli and the pork chop but as I said every course seemed perfect. The ambiance was set by the fine china, decor, and impressive art collection. The prices were reasonable, considering the super high quality of everything. I would definitely go back!!!
