The restaurant is set in a gorgeous building. The dining room is vast and has an appealing decor; there is also an outdoor seating area. The menu offers a variety of small plates as well as some larger dishes. My favorite dish was the beef rib grilled over Cabernet barrels. The ingredients were consistently of very high quality. Some of the dishes might benefit from more attention - for example, the "cauliflower treated like a piece of meat" dish had some good ideas but felt under seasoned. On the whole though, things worked out very well. The wine list has a truly vast choice of Napa wines, even in Napa. Dessert is selected from a cart that gets wheeled around, and the choices were actually very nice. Friendly and helpful service.
