"The space, at the edge of the villa-like expanse of the luxury hotel of the same name, is relaxed and airy. It is an ideal wine country retreat.Seafood specialties, like mussels with chardonnay butter sauce and grilled bread, or oysters on the half shell with house-made hot sauce, are a highlight. Slow-fermented wood-fired pizzas are always a good idea, and pastas, like a traditional tagliatelle bolognese, show equal care. For dessert, a caramel budino made with Macallan Scotch, paired with pistachio and chantilly cream, strikes a sophisticated and satisfying note." - Michelin Inspector
"Awarded two Michelin keys as an "exceptional" California property, this hotel was acknowledged for its reliable service, quality design, comfort, and a clear sense of identity within its locale." - Stacey Lastoe
"North Block is a surprisingly intimate and private hotel, considering its in-town location. 20 rooms are distributed in villa-like buildings surrounding a central courtyard, with a faint Tuscan atmosphere familiar to regular visitors to California’s wine country. This being Napa Valley, the hotel also has well-thought-out wine and wellness programs, plus high-quality cuisine by chef Juan Cabrera." - Mark Fedeli

"Tucked along Yountville's main drag, the idyllic hideaway mimics an Old World Mediterranean oasis with ivy-covered stucco and stone walls, tranquil stone fountains, and a cozy lobby with a vintage reception desk, marble-lined fireplace, and orb-shaped pendant lamp. Anchored around a central courtyard, each of the 20 guest rooms are appointed with leather tufted armchairs, 300-count linens, and patios. Second story rooms have balconies with valley views. The revamped eatery, The Restaurant at North Block, serves up coastal-inspired fare from wild mushroom flatbreads to halibut with autumn puree, heirloom carrots, olive salt, and Syrah-pickled grapes. For brunch, order the lemon ricotta pancakes." - Jennie Nunn
