Sean and Cynthia O'Toole have created one of the best places to drink and eat in the Napa Valley; after years of working in fine dining kitchens across America and Europe, in their own words, they’re, “proud to be 'dismantling' the fine dining experience, replacing it with a sophisticated yet relaxed evening that doesn't break the bank”. In a place as expensive and as luxury-oriented as the modern-day Napa Valley, this perspective and experience is certainly welcome.

While you can certainly blow out the bank here with wines like DRC and Krug, there’s plenty of great more affordable options as well as a real celebration of the impressive new-wave wines of the entire California North coast. The best white wines of Napa can also come as a welcome break from all that Cabernet Sauvignon.
