Going to the Silverado Resort in Napa in June. Anybody been there? What did you think? It is for my parents 50th wedding anniversary.

If they are golfers, they will be in Heaven. It's a nice resort but it is mainly a great golf place. The food is ok, but there are great restaurants in the area.

Are we talking staying at Silverado or eating at Silverado? The accomodations are condo/townhouses that ring the golf course. They are all OK, but I prefer hotels to condos. My opinion is this place is showing its age. It is a grand "looking" place, but in need of some updating. I wouldn't eat there for any special occasion, maybe have a drink on the deck, then go somewhere else for dinner. Resort wise, I prefer Meadowwood in Napa.

I was here about 10 years ago...the rooms were pleasant (hope thev'e been updated since then!), and the weather was sunny and hot in mid-April. It was a nice place to just lay by the pool, play golf or tennis. Since I don't play golf or tennis, I found it a bit too quiet after a day or so. If your parents are in their 70's, though, they may find it wonderful, and there are lots of great restaraunts and wineries in the area.

My in-laws used to stay here for three months at a time before they gave up New York for Napa..the condos are ok..very,very basic and I agree probably showing their age..can't recommend the dining room but you will be in short distance to many worthwhile restaurants. Check out Calistoga for spa days while you are there..eat almost any place besides the dining room at Silverado and shop at Nob Hill grocery on Trancas in Napa for almost everything.

Cole's Chop House in Napa is a great place for a special event as you describe. I have not been to Silverado. I have to admit it is not on my list as there are so many other places that have been suggested on this board.
