Just got back from a week in Napa/SFO --

Meadowood (3*) -- Just wow. Possibly one of the best meals of all time. It's very rare for a multi-course meal to nail it on every single dish. The food was not only creative, but also super delicious. One of my favorites was caviar mixed with beef tendon bits, never had these 2 things together in one dish and it was an incredible combo. Service was flawless. Impressive wine list, and the somm was knowledgable and friendly. Didn't end up getting the pairing, but was recommended some champagne and a great bottle of red from the Harlan estate.

Benu (3*) -- Great meal, but it was hard to follow Meadowood. A couple of misses (oyster dish over salted, uni dish drenched in teriyaki sauce, etc), but also some great hits. The smoked quail was one of the best bites of food I've ever had. Very limited wine selection.

Acacia House (1*) -- We stayed at Las Alcobas, so got to experience breakfast, lunch, and dinner there. Breakfast is solid, lunch is simple, and dinner is where they really shine. Fresh high quality ingredients cooked perfectly. I highly recommend it for a casual dinner. Friendly attentive service.
