The 18 Best Restaurants In Napa 2024
"Torc gets a lot of love from locals, and once you try the deviled eggs and peruse the 15-page wine list, it’s easy to see why. The disjointed mix of metals, wood, pops of color, and stone walls feel better suited for a man cave makeover in the early 2000s, but the food more than makes up for any interior missteps. Torc makes dishes that are familiar without being boring, yet pushes expectations where they can. The tomato tart is a great example—it’s deconstructed to look more like an overflowing hamburger, which varies in success, and the dehydrated tomato “magic dust” seasoning lives up to the name. Opt for the fried squash blossoms with yuzu dipping sauce that’s haunting in the best way possible. " - christina julian, jasmine alexandra
