Mustard's Grill

If there is better salmon in the Valley we have not tasted it, and, in fact, all the fresh fish plates are perfectly prepared.

Long a Napa Valley tradition, celebrity chef Cindy Pawlcyn continues to turn out superb fresh fish, lamb, and pork (often with some Asian touches) in what looks like an old road side restaurant (Mustard’s is a long time tradition). Just looking at the appetizers available recently will give you a good idea of the breadth of the food - roasted garlic soup, onion rings with house made tomato/apple ketchup, corn tamales with pumpkin seeds, Ahi tuna, and Asian lettuce wraps. Don’t worry about a good wine pairing as the list is well thought out.

To us, this is one of the perfect spots to hit early - in other words, before it becomes crowded. Reservations are always difficult to obtain during the more popular lunch and dinner hours, and understandably so. But you can’t miss here – Valley residents rarely do.
