Would like a little more than a bakery. Thanks! Fri Apr 17 19:50:20 -0700 2009 174252 Carbear99 1 4606363 Creative and sophisticated may be difficult. There have been many threads about breakfast in Napa Valley over the years, but no recs, if memory serves, for creative or sophisticated. Breakfasts are more, shall I say, plebian or functional here. Eggs, pancakes, muffins, huevos rancheros -- it doesn't get much fancier than that. The closest to creative or sophisticated may be The Grill at Meadowood Resort in St. Helena, or The Villagio in Yountville. Of those two, my vote would be for Meadowood. You can read more about The Grill at the Meadowood website. Good luck. Tell us what you unearth.
