Hi butterbutt,
I think you are referring to Auberge du Soleil in Rughterford. It is wondeful! One of my favorites in the Valley. Definately the best views from any restaurant. Great food and service. Nothing is really too dressy here, except maybe the French Laundry since it is such a tourist destination. I would highly reccomend Auberge. - make reservations and sit outside. -Very romantic. I live here, trust me. :)
Otherwise, in St. Helena go to Martini House, always a hit never a miss or Tra Vigne.
In Yountville, go to Bouchon, request outside, there are only like 3-4 tables.›1 Reply-
re: valleygirl707
Eating on the deck/patio at Auberge du Soleil overlooking Napa Valley on a beautiful day is one of those experiences not to be missed, one that people come from all over the world to have. We live here and can do it easily. I'm not current about their food; it seems to vary year to year, but it's always "good enough" to support the great experience.

Never been to either you mentioned. Both are resorts. We've been to Bistro Jeanty several times and can also recommend. Also in Yountville is Bouchon, which is Thomas Keller's take on a French Bistro. It's tiny. You can get reservations on Opentable.com. We also like Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen, in St. Helena. We've had hit or miss at Martini House, which is also in St. Helena.
