We usually head up valley for dinner, but this weekend stayed “downtown”, hiding out from son’s 30th birthday shin-dig.
We stayed at Napa River In. The original building seen in the background was apparently established in 1884!
When did all this happen?
I remember when they built up the riverfront. Looks like it’s been 20 years.
One version.
I remember the floods!!
I 've had my eye on ZuZu for awhile. Looks like it’s been there for 20 years as well.
It was empty at noon but the area became increasingly busy, and by late evening, there was much raucous laughter from many busy restaurants. Raucous laughter!
We enjoyed tapas there, including garlic soup, gambas, tortilla Espanola, and pork cheeks. No pictures.
Later we had dinner at Cole’s Chophouse where they convinced husband to try his steak medium rather than medium well. You go waitstaff!
I had boneless rib eye.
All was enjoyed.
Also, there was a lot more diversity than i usually notice uptown. Like a lot.
