If you like Restoration Hardware, you will love RH Yountville Gallery. Props to my illustrious sister for introducing me to this place, and more props to whoever designed it! This is a Resto gallery unlike any other; The Cloud adorns multiple rooms with the finest finishings. Needless to say, we spent some quality time lounging there after our lunch.
So, what about lunch? The restaurant has an all-outdoor feel with high glass ceilings, indoor trees, and stunning chandeliers. If you are seated anywhere indoors, you will enjoy the view and ambiance of the elegant water fountains. Finally, all of the RH seating options are comfortable and firm. You won't be sinking into the seats, but I can't promise you won't want to prop up a few pillows and lie down.
Service, as you can imagine, was friendly and swift. My sister and I split the shaved ribeye sandwich and lobster roll. Brother-in-law got the shaved ribeye and a beer, and all of us shared an order of truffle fries.
Our sandwiches were served upon spacious cutting boards. The ribeye included side dishes of peppers and au jus. The lobster roll, though smaller than the ribeye, emerged as the crowd favorite. Buttery bread, fresh lobster -- something so simple packed such a powerful punch! The ribeye must be given credit, however, for they did not skimp on portions. This sandwich was packed to the brim with tender, juicy beef. One order of truffle fries was enough for us, and it was the best I've tried to date. By the time we were through, a nap on The Cloud was most inviting.
RH Yountville was more than a sit-down lunch, as others have remarked. It was an experience -- and an outstanding one at that. Next time, I'll be around for breakfast. Until then!
