The selling point for Allred's is the view, but since it is only open to the common man in the evenings (private club only for lunch) you won't see too much. Also they sat us far away from the window. That being said the place has great atmosphere and attentive, knowledgeable staff. The food was pretty good: I did not find my pot au feu extraordinary (which it should be for $34), but the cheesy crouton with it was wonderful. All others in my group (of 9) found their food quite good. The main problem with the menu was an overexhuberant use of ingredients (in my opinion). Strange textures and flavors blended together in ways that were not always welcome, and I am usually pretty adventurous with tastes. In my estimation, though, the best thing about the place was...the bathroom. I could live there (strange but true).

Well, the build up was there, the ride in the gondola, the fancy wine cave entrence, but once seated in the Barn like dining room looking at the windows (the view is not much at night) it all goes down hill. Livign in Napa Valley I am used to excellent food, service, wine, and expect to pay for it (which we do happily), well here we paid for cold average wine-unfriendly food, sloppy serves, and an expensive (wine we buy at local restaurant for up $100 less a bottle at home) wine. Please go to the other great restaurants in this town, Harmons is like a down home restaurant at an excelletn value with a wine list that makes my favorite dining spots at home look bad.
