Californian New American
The kitchen is fully visible behind glass, so you can watch the team plate while you sit in a tasting room that looks out over the northern Napa hills. This is fine dining inside the Four Seasons Calistoga, with a Californian menu that threads a Mexican influence through Wine Country produce, garden herbs, wagyu, crudo, masa. It holds a Michelin star and AAA Five Diamonds, and the James Beard committee has noticed the chef.
