"Timeless French food is re-created with great regard for quality and technique at Thomas Keller's exuberant brasserie, set down the street from his iconic French Laundry." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Interior seating is limited, so a gravel-laden patio is made available to enjoy breakfast and lunch." Full review
Lonely Planet "Details at celeb-chef Thomas Keller’s French brasserie are so impeccable – zinc bar to white-aproned waiters – you’d swear you were in Paris." Full review
Lonely Planet "Bouchon makes as-good-as-in-Paris French pastries and strong coffee. There's always a line and rarely a seat: get it to go." Full review
Fodor's "To satisfy that craving you didn't know you had—but soon will—for macarons, stock up on hazelnut, pistachio, chocolate-dipped raspberry, and several other flavors at this bakery." Full review
Time Out "The bistro is a French affair, with things like oysters and steak frites and salad Lyonnaise peppering the menu...there are white tablecloths nonetheless, and an impressive wine list to boot." Full review
The Infatuation "There’s usually a line outside, but everything inside is worth it. Our favorite thing to do is grab a few loaves of bread on our way out of Napa, and eat all of them before we get back to the city." Full review
Gayot "Well worth the wait for Thomas Keller's baked goodies from this charming Yountville boulangerie-pâtisserie." Full review
Frommer's "The attraction: a (relatively) affordable taste of world-famous chef Thomas Keller’s greatness in the form of awesome coffee, freshly baked breads (and sandwiches), luscious pastries, and salads." Full review

"The menu is loosely divided into four categories, with four dishes in each one; diners can mix and match. Frank also offers a six-course tasting menu ($120), served at the chef's table in the kitchen." Full review
Fodor's "Built around seasonal local ingredients, the prix-fixe menu, which changes frequently, might include potato rösti with caviar, sole with eggplant and almond hazelnut picada sauce." Full review
Michelin Guide 1 Star

Time Out "Now located inside the Westin Verasa Napa hotel, La Toque dinners begin with a wine list so extensive it requires an iPad. Then, choose from a variety of tasting menu options (four or five course)" Full review

(It's tempting to request the table by the fire, but it often gets too warm.
