The Terrace Café At Meadowood Napa Valley

Amazing fine dining. Honestly one of the best experiences you’ll thoroughly enjoy when it comes to all of the small details. Can’t wait for this place to come back!

I really enjoyed the atmosphere at the 3 course bar tasting and hope to return for dinner in the dining room one day. The bar was quite interesting considering that it is a 3 Michelin star restaurant. I really wanted to love this experience but it was marred by one of our friends who wanted to drink wine which was quite good, but the cocktails seemed far more interesting as there were many handmade flavored liquors in evidence and the barkeep was very knowledgeable. I did enjoy the food, but again hypercritical comments marred this aspect as well. Great service and nice memoir food gift at the end. Hope to return in the future.

We had dinner inside the kitchen and got to see the disciplined team work and skilled chefs working side-by-side. The best part was perhaps actually engaging with the waiters and cooks as they were all stellar people with interesting backgrounds. We had fun conversations alongside excellent food. The atmosphere of having dinner inside the kitchen is special and I've only done this at Alexander Steakhouse before in the past when they were still doing it. Head and sous are also very involved with their craft, was totally involved the whole time with perfecting each dish... Would definitely recommend due to fine dining and service.

Oh my word! My sweetheart got us a reservation at the Chef 's Table in the Kitchen, and were we ever treated to every conceivable delight the restaurant has to offer!? I 'm really sorry I can 't tell you much, as things were very rapid-fire as staff brought one thing and then another, and we were treated to bits of delightfulness that were extra of what went out to the tables in the dining room. This place is worthy of the most special occasion, and I was extremely fortunate that my significant other wanted to share an evening with me, and The Restaurant at Meadowood. Just look at these photos and try not to find your mouth watering!

For our 20th anniversary we chose 20 of the best restaurants in the Bay Area. Meadowood is clearly one of the best, but not 5 stars for both of us. Meadowood is definitely at the top end of high-end restaurants, and the man at the gate assumed we were heading to the grill when we pulled up in our 15-year-old Minivan for dinner. Certainly that was a safe assumption considering the cost of a meal here. Meadowood is exactly what you expect from a top quality restaurant. Everything about the experience is polished. After the meal we were even invited to tour the amazing kitchen and found out that you can have a special meal in there! We had a huge variety of dishes, many of which were the best of their kind among all the great restaurants we have been to. Like others have mentioned in their reviews the desserts are not quite up to par with the rest of the meal. The Oil Oil Pudding we had was great, but the candied garden was not special. Why not 5 stars? Certainly the meal and experience at the restaurant were 5 star quality, however my wife had severe stomach issues after the meal. She often had stomach issues after these large tasting menus, but this was beyond that. I had no issues at all, and the meal had so many different items that impossible to know what the problem was.
