La Toque

"Chef Ken Frank has been a Napa Valley mainstay ever since he opened this fine-dining lair in the Westin Verasa hotel in 2008. Walk under an oversized inflatable chef’s hat hanging above the entrance and into the elegant room, where you can first glimpse into the gleaming open kitchen and see a brigade of chefs running about. Leather-topped tables, a fireplace and an extensive wine list offer creature comforts to a crowd that’s usually here to celebrate. Though pricey and at times diminutive, the signature tasting menu takes broad culinary cues. Highlights include roasted rack of lamb with Red Hawk aligot potatoes as well as a dry-aged Liberty Duck breast with za'atar cherry coulis. A full vegetarian tasting menu is also available." - Michelin Inspector

How to Taste Your Way Through the Napa Valley | Eater

"For more than 40 years, La Toque has defined French dining in Napa. Here, chef Ken Frank blends the elegance of French cuisine with the boldness of the Californian palate with a seasonal, modern menu alongside an expansive wine list, which won The Grand Award. A great example of the decadence La Toque offers is their $60 grilled cheese for two made with Brillat Savarin and an ounce of shaved black truffle between two slices of pan de mie from St. Helena’s Model Bakery. They even offer a prix-fixe truffle tasting menu in January and July. There are multiple tasting and a la carte options — and while you could opt for the vegetable experience, don’t think that’s your escape from a decadent meal. The tasting menu starts with black truffle croquettes, reaches a peak with its buttery portobello mushroom pithivier, and ends with a Hukambi chocolate beignet served with rum ganache, coconut rum ice cream, and passion fruit caramel." - Lee Musho
