Management response from

We made an error in communicating with this guest and we apologize for this. We do allow photography in The Restaurant. In fact, we have many guests who enjoy capturing a memory or two during an evening spent with family or friends. However, while we do support guests photographing members of their own parties, we do not permit guests to...

The servings at this restaurant are Lilliputian - no more than 2 bites for each of the 4 courses in the 4 course tasting menu. The minute portion sizes meant that we couldn't even get a good sense of the much tauted ingredients recited to us by our server. My first appetizer was not only small but was smothered in... more

Restaurant is very flexible with their two menus and sevice is exceptional. The flavors were incredible. The decore of the restaurant is rustic, but works well. The tables are well separated and the noise level is greatly enhanced by the table separation. Their wine list is comprises the world and choices are plentiful. more

Celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary here for dinner. The service was outstanding and the food was unbelievable. The menu was innovative, imaginative and wonderfully executed. I will remember the squid and rabbit courses for a long time to come. Chef Kostow even visited us several times and related to us his conception of the courses. Do not go to Napa... more

If you want to enjoy some of the best food and wine pairings in California, then the restaurant at Meadowood is the place. Portions are small but after 4 course and all the extras sent from the kitchen, we felt like we had plenty to eat. Service was attentive and warm. The wines poured were beautiful from a Sake to... more

Wanting a great dining experience for my husband's birthday, I made a reservation at the restaurant at Meadowood about one month before. We drove 1 1/2 hours to get there for a very early dinner at 5:30 p.m. We had been there once before in 2007 and thought it was wonderful then, but this time, we were VERY DISAPPOINTED. When... more

Our experience at Meadowood, The Grill wasn't very exciting. The scenery was beautiful, but the food was bland and the drinks were WAY over priced. I paid $17.00 for a Cosmopolitan! The service wasn't great either, especially for the prices that they charge. My husband and I went there after someone had suggested it, but wish we had reconsidered. We... more

We just came back from a trip to Napa Valley. We wanted to end our trip with a great meal to celebrate a special occassion...I was trying to decide between three restaurants: French Laundry (legendary, but the price was $250 per person even for just lunch) 3 michelin stars, Auburge du Soleil (breathtaking views, but the menu looked too traditional)... more

My husband and I dined at Meadowood in June 2008. The location is secluded and very romantic, I would be interested in checking out the lodging some time. This was our first experience with Meadowood and we were quite happy. The staff is very friendly and very helpful, they are also very prompt and professional when bringing out the food... more

My wife and I had dined at the Restaurant at Meadowood shortly before they received their 2 Michelin stars so after we had heard that there'd been a change in the chef, we returned with some trepidation. If anything, the food is BETTER! Creativity is high, the ingredients are superb and, as before, the service and room are elegant without... more
