"There are so many great restaurants in the Napa Valley area it's hard to narrow down the choices. So if there is only room for one great meal you shouldn't miss Bottega! Just take a look at the online menu it will give you great clues. I knew this had to be good. I just didn't know it would be that ..."good. Service is excellent. The food is outstanding and whether you sit inside or out you will be well cared for. We had several different dishes all were wonderful.

I went with the "gold card experience" as it was a birthday celebration and wanted to leave nothing to chance.
Next piece of advice?
Visit the garden across the street. Where Per Se has the view from your seat, the garden is one of the things that makes the experience different than Per Se. Explore some of the ingredients and speak with the people (and hens :-)..) that work there. It's an amazing garden and an excellent prelude to the dinner experience (which was a day later for us).
