One of the top St Helena restaurants is located inside the Meadowood Resort. The Restaurant at Meadowood offers a casually elegant dining experience featuring a modern approach to Napa Valley cuisine that’s approachable, dynamic, evocative and playful. The service, which is at once professional, relaxed and fun, complements and completes the experience. The Restaurant at Meadowood offers a fine dining experience in the country where the best traditions of Napa Valley are wedded with a modern, enlightened approach to cuisine. The Restaurant features Napa Valley Cuisine, which is based on the innate goodness of regional ingredients. The chef’s philosophy of stewarding flavors can be likened to Napa Valley winemakers allowing the grapes to express themselves in finished wines. The resulting dishes are flavorful, fresh and healthy, offering intensity of flavor without heaviness. The interior of The Restaurant showcases Meadowood’s natural, tranquil setting with rows of windows bringing the beautiful surroundings into full view. The Restaurant features a prix fixe menu with a la carte selections. Wine pairings are available for each course. Guests are also presented with a Chef’s Tasting Menu for consideration each evening. This seven-course menu may be ordered with the courses alone or with wines paired. Christopher Kostow is the Bay Area's newest Chronicle four-star chef, and this year his restaurant became the second in the Bay Area to earn three Michelin stars. He has developed a tasting menu that has a strong sense of place, and his combinations are precise, fresh and unique. He might pair veal breast with hamachi; roast sturgeon with bone marrow; or langoustines with scallops and pork belly. These dynamic pairings are served in a tailored, elegant dining room. In warm weather the terrace is a magical place to dine, overlooking majestic redwoods, the Mayacamas Mountains and the croquet court.
