   We go here once a year as a very special occasion. Every aspect of the experience — from the greeting at the door to the chef’s selected desserts — leads me to believe that this is the best dining experience you can have in the Napa Valley. Dinner at Kenzo feels like you’ve been transported into a top Kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto. Each of the nine courses or plates isn’t visually striking and delicious. I especially enjoyed the Aomori cherry trout (marinaded after cooking), the Chiba snapper sashimi and the A5 Wagyu Tenderloin Kuwayaki (as tender and savory imaginable). We can’t wait until next year!!

   This is my second visit and again had a lovely time. The food was delicious and service outstanding. Adrian was super warm and enthusiastic. You can really sense how proud he is to work at Kenzo. Our chef was so talented and sweet. He even took a photo with us at the end. Kenzo will definitely be a place we want to revisit over and over again!

   Phenomenal. Period dot. Highly recommend Kenzo. First third accompanied by Kenzo’s Sauv Blanc, middle third by a glass of junmai daijingo sake, last third by a glass of Kenzo Rindo (Bordeaux-inspired blend). They also poured us some complimentary sake with the sushimi course and a glass of late harvest sauv blanc with dessert. Superior attention to detail with every dish.

   This is one of our favorite restaurants. They hit all the right notes. The service is impeccable and the food is over the top. The chefs from Japan put together flavors that meld so nicely and put a burst of flavor in your mouth. The fish is always fresh and the waygu beef melts in your mouth because it is so tender. They deserve their Michelin star.

    I wanted so badly to love this place. I took my sister here for her first Michelin Star experience. It was entirely disappointing. The flavors were underwhelming, the plating wasn’t appealing and not what I would expect from a multi-star awarded restaurant that charges $200 per person. Seriously, not one bite that was placed in front of us would knock your socks off, so I honestly don’t get it. Would I come back? Obviously not. Is it worth the experience? No. There are so many other omakase sushi restaurants that put this place to shame. Don’t waste your time or money. I will say the staff and service were great and we appreciated that.
