My husband and I decided to try the restaurant at the Culinary Institute for lunch. We had no trouble being seated rigt away. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is lovely with views of the open kitchen. There is only one menu for lunch and dinner so it was a little more and a little pricier than I would have liked... more

I was hoping the CI at Greystone would be the same wonderful experience we had in New York a few years ago. Unfortunately I cannot say it was. We had added another person (number 6) to our party and waited an hour+ to be seated despite our reservation. The service was slow, slow, slow. The food was good, not great... more

We read the reviews of this restaurant, but the majority were not recent. We made reservations for 7:30 p.m., but were not seated until 8:05 p.m. The décor of the restaurant is beautiful with various woods, stone and unusual light fixtures. The kitchen is in the center of the restaurant and if you sit at the bar counter, you may... more

The service was fabulous and the food... more

We ate here on a Sunday night during a recent weekend trip to Napa. The "temptations" plate was disappointing; only the soup was good, so I'd skip it. The mushrooms on toast appetizer was great - we ordered one for the table and fought for the last bites. Everything else was well prepared, but we were seated near the open... more

The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone is an interesting building to visit. The building is an amazing place by itself just to visit. Inside they have an interesting wine bottle opener collection and other wine items to look at. Very interesting. They have a nice little food area with bakery and food items to purchase and also an excellent... more

We had a fabulous lunch at the The Culinary Institute at Greystone on March 28, 2005 A day before we were unlucky enough to have dinner at the Domain Chandon Restaurant (don’t go there) that made us appreciate the food at Culinary Institute even more. Service was great and friendly, but the food was the real treat. Roulette of sweetbreads... more
