My husband and I are heading to Napa Valley on March 20th - yeah!! - cannot wait. We were in Sonoma Oct. 2004 and LOVED it!

Looking for moderately-priced restaurants near Yountville where we are staying to eat with friends who are visiting - moderate - $25-$30 per entree.

On the list so far - we like Martini House and Brix for dinner, and Mustards and Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen for lunch. My husband's only criteria - that the place not be "loud".

Would love recommendations. Have looked at Bistro Jeanty, Bouchon, but did not care for the menus. Domaine Chandon restaurant too expensive. We also want something where we don't have to dress up - after all, this is vacation!

Tra Vigne in St. Helena is very good. If the dining room is too loud, there is a beautiful outdoor patio where it may be a bit more quiet. Cheers! ***kim***

"Tra Vigne in St. Helena is very good."

very true.... have you ever been there?

Bistro Jeanty has a wonderful lunch menu, and we liked Terra in Sta Helena.

I agree Mike, we have enjoyed lunch at Bsitro Jeany a few times. We have also enjoyed Terra for dinner. ***kim***

Oops, make that Bistro Jeanty! ***kim***
