        <content>I am making a trip to Napa for the first time with my significant other and only have one night to indulge in a restaurant.  Obviously I can't get into TFL, so I have narrowed my choices down to La Toque or REDD (however, have seen that Terra has been mentioned in quiet a few threads).  This is for a very special occasion, although some have said that REDD doesn't cater to this.  For overall experience, and considering that I'm staying in Calistoga, does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions/alternative suggestions, etc.?  Thanks in advance,</content>

      <content>Redd is in Yountville, which is a bit of a trek from Calistoga. My choice would be Martini House in St. Helena, or if you really want a special splurge, The Restaurant at Meadowood.</content>

      <content>I agree for a splurge Meadowood will be great.  If you want to stay in Calistoga JoLe is a bit more causal, but has great food.  I have eaten there three times and have not been disappointed.  </content>

      <content>Third the Meadowood suggestion -- La Toque has moved into Napa so you would have an even longer drive all the way down valley from Calistoga to eat there. </content>

      <content>Thanks for the suggestions...you've changed my mind, I'm either going with Martini House or Meadowood.  Thanks!</content>
