We had a wonderful lunch experience at R +D Kitchen. The staff was friendly, speedy and accurate with our order. We had the buttermilk chicken sandwich, the fries with dipping sauce, the tuna mango roll and the deviled eggs. The sushi was freshly prepared with...a great flavor combination and probably our favorite dish. The sandwich and fries were also very good with large portion sizes. The eggs contain a lot of relish which isn't a personal preference so they are the one item I would not recommend. Otherwise, a very good lunch destination. The restaurant was busy at prime time on a Saturday afternoon so I would suggest making a reservation.More

We road our bikes here from Napa and stopped and ate lunch at the bar. We had drinks and three appetizers and the food and service was amazing!

Wait time to be seated was three hours, thus, while waiting for takeout at this restaurant pizza outlet (see pic) we got drinks in an outside patio, during this time my family and I had just received the food. See pic. We put our takeout...on dividing wall between the patio and the takeout locale. The place was so busy drinks were delayed, they just arrived, and while we finished our drinks and beverages, we pulled our warm food out to taste it and the general manager Micah Martin (see redacted pic) appeared out of nowhere and bluntly just said we had to leave. No other pleasantry or options, he bluntly communicated he was kicking us out. He didn’t even ask, he matter of fact said we had to leave. We told him we were not done with our beverages that just arrived and hadn’t paid, he quickly said we could pay him right away, and so desperately wanted to make us pay he brought us the check himself. We said we would not eat anything else but at least had to finish what we ordered unless he didn’t even want us to finish if that is what he meant. He then insisted in kicking us out, even if we werent on the restaurant property. The guy was an abhorrent bleep and ruined our Mother’s Day holiday for us. Worse part is, other people were eating in the patio as well, essentially doing the same, I feel like there was also racial bias against us, since we saw other people doing the same but he looked the other way. When we ordered the food we said we were waiting in the patio and were even were told we could check our food and have it by the dividing wall. The manager told us the patio menu clearly said we couldn’t eat food there. We double checked and it doesn’t even say so. See pics. short summary: It was a terrible experience to deal with the discourteous and rapacious restaurant manager who showed no respect for his customers (on a holiday) Our server was great (9/10) Food was great (9/10) Manager was a ***k (0/10) Drinks were great (9/10)More

We walked in without a reservation on a weeknight and had no problem getting seated, it was not busy. The menu offers good variety. I’d been told they had a great steak salad, but it is no longer on the menu, so I had a...chicken salad and it was delicious, the chicken was not dry at all, and I ate every bite. My husband had the roast chicken on polenta, and it was also perfectly prepared, moist and flavorful. Only two dessert options, carrot cake (good, but has a fluffy whipped frosting rather than the usual rich cream cheese frosting) and a hot fudge sundae (they make their own fudge sauce, and I knew it was legit when it arrived in a separate silver dish so you can pour it on the ice cream as you go.) our server was great too.More

This restaurant was chosen based on reviews that it was the best family restaurant to go to in Yountville. we planned our entire trip around meeting here for lunch. we got there early and were told we could not sit outside in the sandpit area...because of high top chairs. but there were low adirondocks. Then were told one family member could not go order his drink separately at the bar. The manager in bartender were extremely rude, rude tone of voice. We were about to drop hundreds of dollars there and the final straw was when we were told, we couldn’t eat our food at the table not to even take a bite while the ladies were finishing their wine. we had a meeting and had to finish. We will never go back there and will tell all of our friends long term wine members throughout the valley to never go to R&D restaurant. Our first ever review and experience here.More

The lady up front is way out of line. They have issues with any type of hardware whether is Hijab or Turban. If you are Jewish she makes you take it off. If you are a Muslim that’s a NO O and if you from...India then forget about it. She refuses service. This is outrageous at this point in time. Definitely reporting them to BBB and other entities for discrimination. The hostess was a blond girl and light blue eyes. Just saw other reviews and can’t believe they are allowed to abuse their customers mostly tourists and go back home with unforgettable disastrous mind blowing experience. Apparently they have no respect for your religious beliefs. God help us allMore

The Hostess came to our table and very rudely told me to take off my Nike hat. I looked around one person at the bar and another person in the restaurant very baseball cap. She gave no choice and waited until I took off my...hat. I am under chemo and my head gets cold. I have to keep my head warm at all time. I put on my Nike hat and asked for a manager. A nice last came to our table and apologized for the hostess behavior and aid we ask people as a preference and not force people and what the hostess did was totally out of line and she shouldn’t have being so rude and she said will talk to her about not putting people down. I was with my family and imagine me at 57 years old being talked down by at 25 year old in front of my friends and family. This was a really bad experience and I believe she needs therapy. Don’t go there if you don’t want to be harassed.More

This review is on Addie at the hostess stand for Service- I was there for my birthday Friday, March 31st. I made reservations for lunch inside for 5 people. My cousin had join us last minute and met us at the restaurant. We walked up...to the hostess stand and told Addie we had one extra person so now a ttl of 6. She rudely declined said the tables only could sit five there was no room inside and we would have to sit separately. We didn't want to get separated it was my birthday and it was special for me I've been looking forward to it this year. My cousin saw a big round table outside where we all could sit first come first serve basis. We thought its a little a chilly but it's ok. I preferred the inside experience, but it'll have to do. It was not busy at all outside and there was no one sitting on the smaller tables that seated 2/3 ppl each we had the biggest table. We were all just excited to eat. We took two hightop chairs to our table since it was missing 1 there was only 4 chairs not even 5. Our waiter Kyle he was so sweet and asked us what we would like to drink. Addie then, came outside charging at us again she was very rude and declined we could add one extra person to our table. She took the 2 chairs away, now we were down to 4 chairs again not even 5. Left my 2 cousins just standing there she then came back to our table very rudely with a lot of attitude pointed with her finger right in front of us and counted to make sure we only had four chairs. We were all in shock mouths open. We NEVER got treated that way before most of my guest were first timers which was embarrassing for me. She was VERY unprofessional and treated us poorly. Our sweet waiter from outside Kyle noticed the bar inside just opened up for the 6 of us to sit, but at that point It ruined my birthday lunch experience :( we left and walked over to R&H where it was all of our first times there. It was a totally different experience they made up for it for sure. It was too bad we didn't get to experience Kyle he was so sweet you can tell he felt bad for us and we felt bad for him. We were all ready to spend good money there especially, me it was my birthday and I was ready to go all out. You shouldn't have someone like Addie working there before she ruins someone else's birthday or special occasion.More

We stopped for sushi and wine between wine tasting appointments. Our group of 6 could not sit together but in separate booths. When we asked about eating on the patio in order to sit closer together we were told the full menu was not available...when seated there. this was the only downside of our experience. We enjoyed the spicy Thai roll, spicy tuna roll, rainbow roll and crunchy avocado roll. All delicious! Our server Jordan was pleasant and attentive. We would visit again.More

Kudos to whoever designed this building, especially the interiorb-wood paneling and stone, coupled with thoughtful soft lighting created really nice ambience. Kale salad, fries, fried chicken and pork carnitas sandwiches - perfect late afternoon snack - very affordable, especially for Yountville

My sister and I have gone to R & D Kitchen many times and always ordered the steak Thai salad which we loved. We were so upset when we went today to learn they removed it from the menu. We were able to get a...Thai Chicken salad which was good but no where near as good as the steak salad. My husband ordered a shrimp and macadamia roll and they brought a plain avocado roll which was completely tasteless. I was annoyed with him for not sending it back but he didn't want to make a fuss. Then we asked to see the dessert menu and were told they only had carrot cake and an ice cream sundae, neither appealed to us. I'm sure they used to have a half dozen choices. Needless to say we won't be returning.More

Always a good lunch experience. Nice environment and excellent service. Try the interesting sushi menu. We sure enjoyed their Coconut Shrimp roll. The Crispy Chicken sandwich looks and tastes good, but the chicken piece was minuscule. Excellent fries came with two dips plus a seasonings...salt shaker. Food arrived promptly, with appropriate accoutrements, empty stuff whisked off, and several “ how is everything.” Fun reading Attire Standards e.g. “gentlemen remove hats in dining room.”More
