SMALL BITE: You’ll find Andaz Farmers Table in the Andaz Napa hotel in the heart of Wine Country. Looks more like a lounge than a restaurant, which lends a very distinct charm. Diners can sit at small tables or share a big table for communal-type dining. The restaurant suffered major water damage from the Napa earthquake in August 2014, so it is practically new with updated furnishings and fixtures. While waiting for a table, relax by the fireplace on a couch or overstuffed chair, Bloody Mary in hand. You’ll forget why you came.
SIGNATURE DISH: Crab Benedict (shown below) and Turkey Chorizo Hash
THE DISH FROM DINERS: “I wish I could give this hidden gem 10 starts because it would be worthy. The chef that created the Crab Cake Benedict is nothing short of a genius, BRAVO! Great place for locals, new fave, this might drive me to take a trip to Napa as much as the wine!”
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: The hotel was closed down for four months to repair earthquake damage. However, Andaz paid full salaries to employees during the hiatus, as Hyatt, the parent company, knew each employee still had to provide for themselves and their families. Very classy move. If the hotel cares this much about its employees, you can only imagine how they treat paying guests.
