"There’s something quintessentially Napa about the North Block hotel and its pristine, perpetually busy restaurant. Currently, executive chef Juan Cabrera is offering a 5-course Valley to Coast tasting menu for $90, which does not reinvent the wheel but rather does well-known staples extremely well — think spring pasta with morels and peas, abalone with passion fruit, and a NY strip with shallot marmalade. By Napa standards, it’s value for money in a slick setting. Reservations are available on OpenTable." - Flora Tsapovsky
"The Restaurant at North Block’s seafood focus is in place at brunch, which is served daily on the patio or in the cozy dining room inside the eponymously named hotel. Avocado toast is topped with Dungeness crab; a seafood platter arrives with oysters, clams, abalone, and prawns; and a poke bowl bridges the transition between breakfast and lunch. For traditionalists, Journeyman Meat Company’s coppa replaces sausage on a breakfast sandwich and house-made zeppoli can be ordered in trios." - Christina Mueller
"The charred pizzas and craft cocktails are the stars at this casual spot inside the North Block Hotel. Whether you post up at the bar for drinks, or lounge on the patio around the fireplace, with new wave tunes playing and bird murals and Edison bulbs flying overhead, this is a nice alternative to the fancier restaurants Yountville is known for. We love the margarita and the potato pizza with Point Reyes toma cheese and bacon, and we usually add in a chicory salad and a few of the excellent ribs, which you can order by the piece.

"A team with years at chef David Chang’s Momofuku empire under their belts has arrived in Yountville, offering a menu of “Californian” food, utilizing Asian flavors and local ingredients." - Ellen Fort
