Napa Dinner for a Single Lady

Traveling to SF and only have time in Napa for one dinner. Will be by myself (but not "looking"). I'd like to have a great foodie dinner but not sure where is the best place for a single. I'm not shy about dining alone but some of those fancy restaurants are probably too romantic for a single. The other cavest is that I won't be able to drink as I'll be driving after dinner. I know, major bummer in Napa, but I can haul back cases!

Budget is up to $150. Prefer French (especially foie gras) and seafood (especially oysters/lobster).

Visits in the past include Martini House, Etoile, Bistro Jeanty, and La Toque.

Thanks in advance.

    My only suggestion is to change from oysters/lobster to oysters/crab, dungeness even if imported from Washington at this time of year.

      I am a single lady living in Napa and I have dined at practically every restaurant in the valley solo so in that regard, you have nothing to worry about no matter where you choose.

      For French, I would steer you towards Bistro Jeanty or Bouchon. Martini House is now closed and I find La Toque to be over-rated.
