"The menu is printed daily online, and if you don't like something they can always make a substitution." Full review
Fodor's "The dinner selection might include smoked beef short ribs with creamy herb rice and charred broccolini, or sesame chicken with radish kimchi and fried rice. " Full review
Travel + Leisure "The menu at Ad Hoc is an homage to the comfort food of Keller’s youth—charred broccolini salad, buttermilk fried chicken, and red velvet cupcakes." Full review

"Casual American spot from Thomas Keller." Full review
The Infatuation "Probably our overall favorite restaurant in the entire Napa Valley, because it’s Thomas Keller food without Thomas Keller restaurant pretense" Full review
Time Out "A more laidback counterpart to The French Laundry and Bouchon down the street. Ad Hoc serves a four-course, family-style menu that was inspired by chef Keller's childhood" Full review

Fodor's "Torc means "wild boar" in an early Celtic dialect, and chef Sean O'Toole occasionally incorporates his restaurant's namesake beast into dishes at his eclectic downtown restaurant." Full review

"Torc may be Gaelic for "boar," but the food from Chef Sean O'Toole (who boasts the aforementioned boar on his family crest) is definitely not Irish." Full review
Lonely Planet "Wildly popular Torc plays off the seasons with dynamic combinations of farm-fresh ingredients, such as springtime white asparagus with black-truffle toasts, and squab with artichoke and licorice." Full review
Time Out "TORC's owner and chef Sean O’Toole showcases local farmers, ranchers and seafood in his seasonal menus with changing dishes like lamb ravioli, artichoke velouté with ricotta, pistachio and Meyer lemon." Full review

"Foodies “love the adventure”... at this high-end Napa New American, where “delightful”, globally inspired cuisine and “excellent” vino attract “a who’s who of the food and wine industry”." Full review
Frommer's "Bright, lively, and relaxed, with high ceilings, rough-hewn-stone-wall environs, and refined contemporary American cooking, this upbeat, sexy spot is a prime dinner haunt for locals in downtown Napa" Full review
