Well my favorite is Tra Vigne in St. Helena, another restaurant owned by the same people is Mustards Grill (I've heard its good but never been there) There are also a couple of new ones like Table 29 and Don Giovanni (at least I think thats its name) maybe a local poster can confirm my suppositions!

Have fun and visit the Mud baths!

I have a friend who thinks Tra Vigne is heavenly. It's the place she'd most likely to bring friends from out of town when they visit Napa.

      I've had wonderful meals at the restaurant at Domaine Chandon
      (the champagne maker) in Yountville.  One time 4 of us flew
      to Napa from the LA area, then proceeded to waste away the
      afternoon on their patio with whatever they were serving,
      and lots of wonderful champagne (oops, Napa valley brut).

      When you make a dinner reservation they will tell you they
      have nothing available.  But insist.  Eventually they will
      squeeze you in.

French Laundry is supposed to be better now that Tom Keller has taken over, and Hiro's place in San Helena is great, but the name is escaping me.

Try Auberge du Soleil. My wife and I had lunch there a few years ago. We ate on the terrace out back.  Excellent food, great atmosphere.

Tres Vigne is one of my most favorite places.  I heard of another one - but can't remember the name.  (The name is french and I think has Soleil in it...) Anyway, I heard it was fabulous.  When I remember, I'll e-mail you...
