Stunning patio, beautiful interior. Interesting cocktails. I have never recommended a veggie platter but the crudite appetizer and dip is life-changing. The usual stuff, like burgers and steaks, are also amazing. $$$ but worth it. Reservations recommended! Also it is a longer walk but walkable from the house.

There are SO MANY awesome wineries on the Silverado Trail. Be sure to make some reservations. We recommend no more than 2-3 wineries per day as tastings can take some time.
