位於Healdsburg​且值得驅車前往的優質餐廳

It’s kind of a boring story because it’s the same every time! Perfect! No drama, nothing cooked wrong, or cold. If you need something to get worked up over, it will only be in a positive way for how amazing, fun, and relaxed it is. Mustard‘s Grill defines what dining in the wine country should be. The head chef and owner is well known in the Napa area, heading up four different restaurants. Mustard’s being the flagship restaurant, having been there for as long as I can remember 20+ years, and never gets older or stale. It is top shelf dining with a casual, relaxed, fun atmosphere, everything that Napa is about. It’s got the longest wine list in captivity, and a staff that has been there for decades, meaning you get great answers to any question you might have. Framed awards from the likes of Michelin and a guy named James Beard line the walls. But the place is far from pretentious, or worried about who you are. It’s their ability to scrape that off everyone’s shoes on the way in, that makes it the amazing truck stop it is. Wine maker sitting to your left, tech giant to your right, and my landscaper was a few tables over. Everyone is just glad to have a table, a professional staff of servers, and thoughts of an amazing meal, forthcoming. I don’t consider a trip to Napa complete without stopping in at Mustard’s. Their signature dish of a Mongolian pork chop with braised cabbage and mustard sauce along with mashed potatoes, is out of this world! Not one of those items rates as something I’d normally order! The crabcakes were on point, everything was perfect. And when you talk to the fantastic people sitting next to you, you’ll find the exact same story. “We’ve been coming here for 15 years, blah blah blah. It’s excellent every time, blah blah blah.” You haven’t done Napa until you’ve had a meal at Mustard’s Grill. Oh, and the cookbook is fantastic as well.

Food was outstanding. Some really interesting and inventive dishes. We both kept remarking, "Wow...I've never tasted anything quite like this!"...so that was very exciting. 5 Stars for the food...quality, taste, execution, presentation, thoughtfulness of preparation. The dining room is really lovely and comfortable. Noise level was low, so it was easy to have a normal conversation, which we appreciated. Sometimes restaurants can be too loud and this one wasn't...so points for figuring out the right acoustics! The only criticism had to do with the waitstaff. First, there are way too many servers on the floor...they were racing around and sometimes (literally) bumping into each other. It created a bit of a chaotic feel in the background. Also, the servers were a bit too interactive and tried to be conversational and "jokey", rather than just being pleasant and focusing on the dining experience. Everyone was friendly enough, but they lacked a little polish/professionalism in their interactions, particularly for a restaurant of this caliber. Overall, the experience was good and the food really was amazing. We will go back and will also recommend to friends. It's on the high-end of dining experiences, so perfect for a special occasion.

Once again, our food, service and experience was exceptional. We sat in a booth in the bar area where the entire team worked so well together and were so very courteous.

Everything about The Depot was wonderful!! We were seated immediately for our 5:30 reservation, and our server was very attentive from the beginning. From our drink order through the appetizer and finally the main courses, our server was very attentive and personable. The timing of courses couldn’t have been better, we were able to visit amongst ourselves and the items presentation was seamless and quick. The quality of the appetizer (calamari) and entrees was excellent! I can’t say enough good things about our experience at The Depot in Sonoma! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! 5 Stars!!

What a hidden gem! From the service to the food, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
