  • Plant-Based Dining in Napa County

    “I died and went to food heaven. Whether you are vegan, vegetarian, plant curious, or just want an incredible meal, this is the place to go. We had the charcuterie board and the pulled bbq sandwich and it was incredible. Best “comfort” food we have ever had.”
