Kenzo Restaurant@Napa Valley ★★★

Fantastic Kaiseki Fine Dining. 1 star Michelin. We booked Kenzo Estate winery tour at their vineyard the following day (separate locations). Our 4th time returning. We brought Kuheiji Flagship HInoKISHI Sake to pair with the great meal. We were able to be seated at chef's counter. Great service from Joan (who left to work at Kenzo Estate and came back) and Martin. We had Alexis before, who's now working at Press Napa. $275 pp w/ service charge included. Corkage fee $75. Our reservation was at 5:30pm (2 seating per night, booked a month prior on OpenTable).
