This place was amazing. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because it fell short on some minor details. First of all, the view. WOW!! I stayed in the top floor, Robert Louis Stevenson suite. The view was impeccable, overlooking the Staggs leap district. You can see the gorgeous house of the owner of the property propped up on a hill in the distance (who also owns Cliff Lede winery). You also get a great perspective on the sunset from your balcony. The porch is a nice area to relax and it was nice to cozy up next to a wood burning fireplace. The shower was comforting and relaxing as we took in the views of Napa. The warm tiles were easy on our toes as we exited the shower or came through our private entrance. The outdoor shower was fun also, as you can adjust each individual blind to give you as much privacy as you want without completely isolating the Napa views.
The first morning we opted for breakfast in our room. We told them the night before and they setup our table during turn down service. The morning of, we called for our coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. They dropped it off with some delicious Bouchon baked goods. He also gave us a menu, advising us to call when we are ready. We called and ordered our next two courses. I got the fruit and salmon, she got the granola and omelete. The fruit was good, nothing special. Blueberries, pears, orange and a slice of lime. The granola was delicious with fruit and yogurt. The salmon came with two perfectly toasted slices of brioche and arugala, capers and pickled onions along with a dollop of cream cheese and chives. Delicious. The omelete had mushrooms and came with a small salad on the side, which was a nice compliment. That night we paid for the in room dining. We had the option of chicken, beef or fish and everyrhing else was left up to the chef. We could of had more input but had no worries about what the chef might prepare. They set up our table and brought some warm bread with butter. We had an option of drinks but just chose water and apple cider. They brought out an amousboush of bread with sauted mushrooms and cheese. It was only a bite or two but full of flavor. The next course was a cream of cauliflower soup with brioche croutons. Everything was scrumptious and perfect. It got our appetite going and eager for the main course. The soup was the perfect temperature and creamy, full of flavor. The crispy, salty croutons accompanied it perfectly. The main course for her was a filet on top of mushroom risotto. I had a chicken hind quarter on top of Brussel sprouts and roast poatoes. Simply delicolious. The chicken had a crispy skin and was salty but full of herbal flavors. The roasted potatoes were browned to a crisp and the sprouts were caramelized to perfection. The steak was cooked perfectly, juicy and tender. The risotto complimented it with all of its creamy, cheesy goodness. All the mushrooms tied it all together. For dessert we had home mad cashew brittle, ice cream and apple pie. Not too sweet but a nice way to end the meal. All the food was outstanding... even the fresh baked cookies in the lobby (when not burned)
My few nit pick negatives about my stay are as follows:
-no in room phone worked upon my arrival
- DVD player on TV played movies in black and white. Connections were probably messed up
- WIFI kept dropping in our room and was slow
- mini bar had wine for purchase but no liquor.
- burned cookies in the lobby
All these were very minor annoyances that didn't lead to a perfect score. I don't know, I guess I expect a little more when paying $2000/night
