I'd suggest brix -- i am fairly sure they have a patio. Just ate there 3/5 and it was fantastic -- amazing service and excellent food (if a bit pricey).

I loved Martini House for dinner!! Also went to Bouchon, which was good, but now that I've been to the one in Vegas I prefer Vegas--it's roomier.

Pacific Blues Cafe was good for lunch....my friend says it's also a very good breakfast choice. I loved Tra Vigne for lunch, that was a nice choice in a quiet atmosphere.

MelsHI-Pac Blues IS a great b/l/d place! Esp after a long bike ride...sitting out on their porch sipping a nice Guinness.

Another good Y'ville b'fast is at Gordon's.((Y))

I forgot that Napa Valley Grille has outdoor dining, too. My friend at the PO Box place just ate there this past weekend and said it was superb.

r5-Can't help you there. But if anyone wants to drop me a line, feel free.

Della Santina's in Sonoma has a nice little porch and courtyard.

Martini House has outdoor dining but I wouldn't do it until June/July/Aug. even tho they do have heaters.

Taylor's Refresher has outdoor dining!

I was going to recomend Taylor's Refresher for a great inexpensive lunch (usally a hamburger for me) - Kal beat me to it. In Napa there is always In & Out Burger!!!

We have also bought great deli food and awesome sandwiches at Dean & deLuca before heading to a smaller winery...

There are always mouse sandwiches across the street from Dean & deLuca:),

For Calistoga I would second the Calistoga Inn sitting outside

Very funny, montyw! :D

We were considering Della Santina for our lunch yesterday, but decided on Doce Lunas in Kenwood. They have a small outdoor patio that was very nice. You don't hear too much about this place, but it was very, very good. I had the wok weared calamari over local lettuces that was outstanding. I'll have to hit Della Santina next trip! ***kim*** ((#))

Just to clarify, Kenwood is located in
Sonoma county, not the Napa Valley.
I could recommend a few good maps for those from out of town and in need.
