I've heard great things, but have never been. Thanks Rob!
I would definitely be interested in doing a cruise and ending at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, although I think it might only end up being you and I for dinner. Hahahahaha!
Thanks for the tip Rob. I'm going to take my wife here the weekend after the 4th. Much appreciated!

Been there a bunch of times, never disappointed. Went last August a the peak of East Coast tomato and fruit season and could not believe what a great kitchen could do with such simple (but high quality) ingredients. If you are into wine, better crack open the piggy bank, they have a great list.

Another great restaurant in Napa is Tra Vigne. The former Chef/Owner, is none other than, Michael Chiarello. It's under new ownership now, but if the menu continues to be similar to what it was when I went there years ago, it'd definitely a great place. And it won't break the bank like The French Laundy will, although I doubt you'll get a reservation for TFL this late, unless you happen to call right when a cancellation comes in (rare, but possible).
Cheers

Another fantastic place to go Keith, if you haven't been already, is Chez Panisse in Berkeley. This is owned by the very famous, Alice Waters. It's my wife and I's favorite restaurant in the Bay Area. The kitchen has to be one of my favorites of all time. Although I did get a private tour of the kitchen at Daniel, here in Manhattan, and was pretty amazed at that set-up, I still liked this kitchen better. This kitchen is a completely old school, open kitchen that has one of the biggest wood chopping blocks running the length of the kitchen with all red brick in the back and fresh vegetables lying along the block. It's a total classic and something you could easily see Alice Waters and Julia Child cooking behind for one of the earlier cooking shows on TV, back in the day. It just gives off that feel of a old, country style kitchen where only the very serious of cooks can take command of such a place.
