 Cindy's
Backstreet Kitchen - Cindy Pawlcyn, James Beard award-winning
cookbook author, Chef and Owner of Napa’s beloved Mustards
Grill, and co-creator of many renowned Bay Area restaurants, has
done it again! Cindy’s Backstreet Kitchen, located in charming
downtown St. Helena in the Napa Valley, combines the sophistication
of a dinner house with the flair of a jazz club to create the perfect
upscale eatery and neighborhood hang-out. As with all of Pawlcyn’s
endeavors, the food is delicious and heartfelt, the service is unpretentious
and warm, and the atmosphere is festive and comfortable. In Pawlcyn’s
words, this is "a local joint - hip, casual, not fussy. The
food we serve is from our hearts, what we make at home and most
like to cook.".

 Terra
Restaurant - Even San Franciscans claim it’s
“worth the pilgrimage” to this “fabulous restored
19th-century stone building” “off the main drag in St.
Helena” for Hiro Sone’s “deeply satisfying”,
“spectacularly original” New American fare (incorporating
Italian, French and Japanese flavors), wife Lissa Doumani’s
desserts that “dance on your palate”, the “extensive
wine list” and the attentions of an “exceptional”
staff; of course, “if you’re already in town, it’s
a slam dunk.” As proprietors of Terra, a restaurant steeped
in tradition and housed in a century-old fieldstone building in
the Napa Valley wine country, and as chefs who are passionate about
food, we have thought a lot about what compels us to cook. And what
we have come to realize is this: at Terra, we cook from our hearts.
That's why we named our cookbook Terra: Cooking from the Heart of
the Napa Valley.

Tra Vigne. Our more than 200 wine list changes weekly, always with
additions of new, exciting Napa Valley and Italian finds. Count

 Press
serves prime dry-aged beef, whole roasted chicken, and other naturally
raised birds, leg of baby lamb, wild fish, heritage pork and hand-fed
veal, all prepared on the kitchen’s centerpiece, a custom
wood-burning grill and rotisserie. Many of the dishes at PRESS will
serve two or more and are carved tableside. Side dishes are served
in their cooking utensils and are portioned for sharing. Appetizers
are simply that…light and simple, just enough to stimulate
the appetite. Press is the vision of Leslie Rudd, owner of Rudd
Winery and Dean & DeLuca, and partners Pat Roney of Girard Winery
and Reuben Katz of the Culinary Institute of America. Rudd says
the inspiration for PRESS came during a "lazy" three-hour
lunch at a famed Parisian brasserie. "There’s nothing
more civilized than good friends, good food, good wine, and the
time to enjoy them,” says Rudd.
