Kenzo Napa Restaurant@Napa ★★★

Exquisite Kaiseki Fine Dining. 1 Michelin star. Excellent food & wine paring. A5 Satsuma Wagyu Tenderloin Okakiage was like ultra premium Gyukatsu – soft, juicy, & tasty. Went to their restaurant after visiting the Kenzo Estate winery (2 separate locations). Our 3rd time returning. We had Chef Yuta Suzuki at our counter, who just came from Japan. Great service from Alexis. $275 pp w/ service charge included. Had fantastic wine pairing for $180, which included wine from Kenzo Estate. Reservation was made via OpenTable for 8:30pm seating (booked a month prior).
