Farm-to-table Modern American cuisine is the prevalent style in the Napa Valley and Sonoma County, but this encompasses both the delicate preparations of Yountville’s Thomas Keller, whose restaurants include The French Laundry, and the upscale comfort food served throughout the Wine Country. The quality (and hype) often means high prices, but you can find appealing, inexpensive eateries, especially in Napa, Calistoga, Sonoma, and Santa Rosa.
Wicker baskets hanging from the ceiling and dried-plant wall arrangements provide rustic flourishes to this intimate, otherwise urban-leaning bistro (the name is Spanish for "steak"), which two Argentine architects turned restaurateurs opened along downtown's Riverfront Promenade. Tipping its hat to their origins and California's agricultural abundance, the menu adds salads, sandwiches, and lamb and beef burgers to the expected mix of grilled steaks.
