Description:
SONOMA. Pleasant, sunny, and relaxed, this local favorite makes its home in the historic Sonoma Hotel. Lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch feature an appealing selection of traditional French dishes with a few Californian touches in the mix. The namesake ingredient appears in a housemade fig cake that accompanies the cheese plate, as well as in the fresh fig and arugula salad, accented with pecans and pancetta. A savory croque monsieur, grilled polenta, and salmon nicoise are other choices, but save room for dessert – delights like pumpkin cheesecake and fig crisp await. |

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. |

Description:
NAPA. ABC, as locals know it, is a friendly, streetside cafe and bakery in downtown Napa where chef and namesake Alexis Handelman regularly wows patrons with baked goods and hearty breakfasts. Of course, the true menu stars are sweets, and few could argue against the virtues of a homemade French tart, German torte or even a traditional American fave like carrot cake or a chocolate-fudge brownie. |

Description:
NAPA. Charming, rustic Angèle serves rich, tempting dishes from southern France. Boasting a small bar and a pleasing riverside patio, the restaurant offers a coziness that happily ensconces patrons as they dine. A peach, nectarine and arugula appetizer salad leaves plenty of room for your plat chaud; try spring chicken with chanterelle mushrooms or filet mignon bordelaise. The galette aux fruits, a summer fruit tart with citrus-infused whipped cream, is a popular dessert choice. |

Description:
NAPA VALLEY. Residents of sleepy St. Helena count themselves blessed to have this wildly original cathedral to Tuscan-inspired cuisine right at their doorstep. A lush garden surrounds the restaurant, and broad double doors lead to an impressive interior of exposed brick and charming seating areas flanked by fully stocked wine racks. Competition for al fresco dining reaches frenzied levels during warmer months, and scores of hopeless romantics clamor to secure a table on the seductive courtyard patio. Reservations are a must. |

Description:
ST. HELENA. Part of a larger complex devoted to organic farming and sustainable agriculture, Farmstead is the restaurant portion of the enterprise. Housed in the light-filled barn of a former plant nursery, it features post-and-beam architecture, soaring ceilings, and enough rusticity that you never forget its more humble beginnings. Simultaneously refined and sophisticated, the restaurant places a premium on terrific ingredients, transforming them into satisfying dishes like chicken and dumplings, short rib and potato hash, meatloaf with roasted root vegetables, and a wonderful cheeseburger. The farm's grass-fed beef also appears in a daily steak feature and figures into addictive meatballs with caramelized mirepoix and tomato marmalade. Local wines, incredible desserts, and a relaxed, welcoming ambience only heighten Farmstead's already-strong appeal. |

Description:
SANTA ROSA. Driving along, you could easily pass by this red barn without giving it a second glance. That would be a mistake. Simply decorated with copper-topped tables, a cornucopia of mirrors, and a banquette lining one wall, the cozy eatery boasts its own brand of style and panache. Known for creative, Italian-influenced fare, zazu's talented kitchen produces culinary art, evidenced by fennel-crusted tombo tuna with chanterelles, Sonoma duck with grilled peaches and star anise, and strozzapreti noodles with soffrito, asparagus, and fresh parmesan. |

Description:
SEBASTOPOL. Using fresh organic vegetables, fruits, and herbs from their 30-acre farm, along with honey from the farm's 50 beehives, this restaurant prepares classic French cuisine in an elegant setting that's a favorite among theater-goers. The menu changes frequently, according to what's currently ripe in the garden. You might start with fresh asparagus salad, baked escargot with garlic parsley butter, or house-made foie gras pâté, then move on to beef bourguignon, pan-roasted pheasant, or braised rabbit. In fine weather, ask to sit on the patio. |
