Best Restaurants for Lunch

The Kitchen at Priest Ranch

The Kitchen at Priest Ranch might be inspired by foodie favorites from the Midwest, but you can rest assured that all of their ingredients are local to Napa. Enjoy lunch on their shady patio or inside the intimate dining room, where a delightful menu includes unexpected offerings like the breakfast gnocchi, gas station sandwich, and “Kind of a Niçoise” salad. Situated adjacent to the Priest Ranch Tasting Room, don’t skip the chance to sample their estate-sourced wines, including Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.
