Napa Valley, CA

Food and wine connoisseurs flock to this charming restaurant at the Rancho Caymus Inn in Napa. A large, stone fireplace sets a romantic tone and makes guests feel like they are dining in an elegant farmhouse.

Diners who are fortunate enough to score one of the fifteen tables savor the exquisite French-inspired dishes of Chef-owner Ken Frank. The prix fixe menu changes daily and may feature specialties such as Roasted Saddle of Lamb with Mustard Spinach Spaetzle, American Wagyu 'Kobe Style" Beef with Keen's Cheddar Tapioca, Dungeness Crab Croquette with Salmon Roe and Meyer Lemon Sauce. And since this is wine country, after all, La Toque boasts an impressive wine collection. A wine pairing menu is thoughtfully prepared each night by sommelier, Scott Tracey.

We recommend that you make reservations as soon as you know you’ll be visiting Napa. La Toque offers two seatings each night beginning at 5:30p and 8:30p. The gracious staff expects your dining experience to last about 2-and-a-half to 3 hours. So, to enjoy a leisurely, elegant meal, call early!
