    Always great food and service love talking to the students regarding their journey into culinary arts chef restaurant management. They now include a 20% scholarship tip on the whole bill. I believe it should be the option to pay or not or tip less since it is for a scholarship fund and not for the servers.

    Had the four-item chef's menu, along with the recommended wine pairings, and everything was excellent. the Duck Ragu was especially awesome.

    We love supporting students. Dinner was exceptional in terms of quality and inventive menu options. Many dishes featured farm to table ingredients of highest quality. My Halibut Crudo was a work of art in presentation and was delicious. Risotto with preserved lemon had a delightfully brisk lemony tartness. Striped bass was great, and French apple tart with Frangipane was rich and luscious. I know their menu changes so options may be different. Truly the best dinner option in Napa valley that also supports the wonderful culinary students. Highly recommended! Our server, Logan was professional and a pleasure.

    This evening was to celebrate a young man’s birthday. He dreams of becoming a chef, he cooks really good, and I’m glad he was able to have this experience. The food was superb. The service was 5 star. Enjoyed every moment.
