Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in St. Helena

I stayed at the hotel and had my Birthday lunch with my family. The Burrata is divine and a must-order. They have a great selection of main dishes, with a wonderful alternative dessert option of cheeses. With many drink choices, my favorite was the Pommery from Champagne, France. Aside from the wonderful food and drinks, we sat outside on the balcony which had heat lamps for the winter chill, and a quiet but musical ambiance. Staff service was 10/10 with attention, knowledge, and interactions. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking to elevate a special night out into an experience to remember.

It’s a great time overall very quiet on a Tuesday perfect for a date night highly recommend bringing your own wine but the food is great, the NY strip was perfectly cooked can’t go wrong and all the pastas we’re fantastic gives bottega and other restaurant in the area a run for there money.

Wonderful wine tasting here by the owner. Great value wines

Great dining experience overall. Several of the courses were outstanding, including the black cod with buttery flesh and perfectly crispy skin. Most dishes had an excellent balance of salt, acid and spice with the occasional misstep such as the item billed as porcini and truffles but was no more than a bean and corn mess. The gnocchi supplement with white truffle needed salt and should have been 4x larger for the price. Shockingly small. Indeed most portions were too small and while I fully understand the desire to make it a tasting experience and serve up lots and lots of tasty small portions, these portions bordered on the obscenely small. But everything was beautifully presented and the service was very good - though not excellent (for example, for these prices, when my glass of water or wine is empty, it’s reasonable to expect that someone will be on it, and here they were at best slow to react). Worth it to try once, but in no hurry to return as no course (other than maybe the black cod) was too memorable.
