Review of Meadowood Napa Valley

Second set of Napa #3michelinstars achieved!

Second set of Napa #3michelinstars achieved!

A sharp contrast to to the elegantly refined #tfl who've set the foundation of American fine dining
#tram is profoundly simple, perhaps leads the way to the genre's eventual evolution.

Micah and the somm team curated selections from the smallest producers from the old world to the biggest classics from the new.

While just the majority the dishes are absolutely hedonistic, all of them make your wonder just how disciplined the kitchen is to distill each "star-ingredient" down to its very essence?

While I am always seeking for layers of textures in my dish, the harmonious unison of these creations offered great counter points to what foods taste like.

Kohlrabi & Caviar, Black cod and Truffled Quail "pokeball"highlighted my meal, yet to me the whole is still greater than the sum of its parts, including a couple misses on perfect service.

#cheers to my cousin and her husband James for this unforgettable experience. @ The Restaurant at Meadowood
