Café La Haye
(Restaurants - American)
140 E Napa St, Sonoma  95476 • 707-935-5994
Distance: ~2.07 mi *
        Description: SONOMA. Pleasant and unpretentious, this tiny Sonoma cafe has an artsy feel, and its intimate, white linen-draped tables are surrounded by contemporary art. A split-level dining area, subtle lighting, smooth hardwood floors, and a beamed ceiling provide added charm. The signature cuisine is Californian with Mediterranean flair as exhibited in dishes like seared black pepper-lavender filet mignon with gorgonzola-potato gratin or red wine-braised pork shank with white beans. Satisfying wine list, too.

Glen Ellen Inn Restaurant
(Restaurants - American)
13670 Arnold Dr, Glen Ellen Inn, Glen Ellen  95442 • 707-996-6409 • 707-996-1174
Distance: ~4.13 mi *
        Description: GLEN ELLEN. Quaint and cottage-like, Glen Ellen Inn is a veritable home away from home for wise diners who stop by for an evening of fine food and wine. During warmer months, garden dining is available, and a covered, heated patio is available year-round. The menu emphasizes local products, and main dishes sparkle – cabernet-braised lamb shank with roast vegetables, Chilean sea bass with spinach and mushroom puff pastry, and grilled pork medallions with feta and capers. Expectedly, the wine list is equally impressive. Reservations are a must.

étoile at Domaine Chandon
(Restaurants - American)
1 California Dr, Domaine Chandon, Yountville  94599 • 707-204-7529 • 888-242-6366
Distance: ~8.61 mi *
        Description: YOUNTVILLE. It's not difficult to see why étoile is consistently named one of the area's most romantic restaurants. A spectacular view, waterside dining on the terrace, and a tastefully appointed dining room add ambiance to exquisite seasonal fare and expertly paired wines. Although entrees may be ordered a la carte, the seven-course tasting menu is a popular option. The menu changes to accommodate what's fresh, but past items have included striped bass with foie gras risotto and huckleberries, and veal tenderloin with fava bean and hazelnuts. A wine is paired with each course. Perfect for a special night out.

Mustards Grill
(Restaurants - American)
7399 St. Helena Hwy, Yountville  94558 • 707-944-2424
Distance: ~8.83 mi *
        Description: NAPA VALLEY. A quintessential Napa eatery, this contemporary restaurant boasts a funny-looking tin man out front and has been earning praise since it opened decades ago. The innovative menu features a bevy of tantalizing appetizers, from warm Cabecou goat cheese to crispy calamari with curried slaw. For something truly special, opt for a dish from the wood-burning oven: three cheese ravioli with summer squash, grilled rabbit with Basque-style pimiento, or chipotle-rubbed quail with a wild mushroom tamale.

The French Laundry
(Restaurants - American)
6640 Washington St, Yountville  94599 • 707-944-2380
Distance: ~8.92 mi *
        Description: YOUNTVILLE. A culinary institution. Period. A dazzling, whimsical, and playfully serious bastion of California country French cuisine, this restaurant offers a near-religious experience to savvy diners. Heavenly entrees might include pan-seared duck breast with endive "marmalade," apricot compote, and seared foie gras, or roasted lamb with polenta and caramelized Meyer lemon. For dessert, opt for something fun, like "coffee and doughnuts" – elegant cinnamon-sugar confections with cappuccino semifreddo. Plan ahead, because you'll have to call at least two months in advance just to get a reservation. Nine course chef's tasting menu and nine course vegetable tasting menu.

(Restaurants - American)
6480 Washington St, Yountville  94599 • 707-944-2222

        Description: YOUNTVILLE. Stark, minimalist Redd encourages diners to focus on the Napa Valley's exquisite flavors, brought to exuberant life in chef Richard Reddington's tasting menus. Precisely prepared and elegantly plated courses delight patrons with unique preparations: caramelized diver scallops with cauliflower purée, and Alaskan halibut saltimbocca with prosciutto emulsion. Wines are taken seriously, and the selection balances variety while offering nods to the region's fine labels. A popular Sunday brunch brings treats like banana beignets with whipped mango cream, and a lavish breakfast pizza topped with scrambled eggs and crème fraîche.
