First time here. Excellent French food and our server was friendly and attentive. Had the french onion soup, bone marrow, mussels and beef bourguignon, along with buttered noodles. All were excellent! The mussels had a nice light buttery flavor and the beef was really tender and fell apart with a rich stew that the noodles helped to soak up the flavors. Really great find, will be back!

Excellent italian inspired cuisine - and quite possibly the best cacio e pepe I have had outside of Rome. We were not feeling super hungry, so did not opt for the tasting menu, but may come back to try it as it looked like a great collection of dishes at possibly one of the best tasting menu prices in Napa .
