"After you walk past the open kitchen at Morimoto Napa, you’ll see the bar — a hidden gem for inventive cocktails and creativity. Helmed by globe-trotting beverage manager Josh Weed, whose background includes Le Cordon Bleu and international bar openings, the drink program goes far beyond the expected with “culinary cocktails.” The wagyu beef Old-Fashioned draws a cult following, pairing perfectly with standout bar bites like sticky ribs, rock shrimp tempura, and the secret off-menu yellowtail carpaccio." - Vincent Vitale
