A kitchen staff on full display with an open kitchen producing quality plates one right after the other. A wait staff with product knowledge & service centric attention to detail. A vibrant ambience situated around a lively bar. Great Outdoor seating, fireplaces, in the softest of soft jazz teasing your ears as you enjoy a festive feast. Set at the bar and let Jessica and Eduardo take care of you and watch two professionals never lose themselves in the professional organized chaos.

They do not seat parties of 6 together. even when they were dead each time they wont do it. They were very rude about it and notwelcoming at all. The lady with blonde hair at the front pushed us out. They need to post it and make it clear before parties of 6 or more drive all the way there. And they tell you to leave.

I have NEVER been to a place so stuck up and so unwilling to help a with a very common food allergy, such as gluten. They refuse to take the bun off of a sandwich. They will not allow any substitutions such as no cheese. The chef won’t let it go out that way. When asked to see the chef they told me he wasn’t in.. They were so unwilling to work with me no matter how hard I begged. so disappointing. In the meantime, we’re waiting for some food. Hopefully, it’s good because so far this place sucks.

R+D Kitchen Yountville — Wine, Firelight, and Perfect Napa Vibes
Stopped by R+D Kitchen Yountville for a quick appetizer and glass of wine, and it ended up being one of those perfect Napa evenings. The Dip Duo with jalapeño queso and guacamole was rich, creamy, and served with crisp hand-cut tortilla chips — simple, fresh, and full of flavor.
I paired it with a glass of Revolver Cabernet Franc (North Coast) — smooth, balanced, and the kind of wine that makes you slow down and savor the moment.
What really sealed the experience, though, was the outdoor seating — rows of Adirondack chairs, glowing fire pits, and that golden Yountville sunset. It’s the perfect time of year to sit outside with a glass of wine, great company, and easy conversation.
Friendly service, beautiful setting, and effortless Napa charm — R+D Kitchen is the kind of spot you don’t just visit; you remember.

Unwelcoming and unrealistic wait times. Long story short, 30-40 minute wait turned into over an hour and series of microagressions from the staff and management as we patiently waited that almost pushed me to tears. Won’t be coming back.

We were in town for a wedding and needed a place to grab a bite to eat and be refreshed. We stopped in here dressed casually and we felt comfortable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and we got a quick table even on a Friday evening with no invitation.
We had great service and Kyle our server knew the menu well and made frequent valuable stops to our table to offer items that showed that he was anticipating our needs.
We went here for a special occassion. Food was average. Good place to hang out and have a drink. Service was good

We were here on our honeymoon and wanted a casual lunch In between wine tours. We went here on a recommendation and have been to hillstone in denver. This place was delicious and our service was amazing. Christina M was our server and she was literally the best. She was so nice and informative. 10/10 recommend for lunch in napa.
