This French restaurant, part of the restaurant revolution that has transformed downtown Napa, is set in a converted old boathouse and offers diners a lovely, romantic spot to enjoy an elegant meal. It’s a 150-plus seat establishment, but the outdoor patio gets half that action. Heat lamps, a view of the Napa River, and the camaraderie of others enjoying the outdoors encourage leisure. Dishes include old standbys such as salade Lyonnaise, onion soup and boeuf bourguignon with Gruyère macaroni gratin. Asian pear and Serrano ham salad, whole roasted bass with escarole and tangelos, braised lamb and butterbeans, and a well-conceived hamburger round out the selections. It’s definitely a place to relish bistro desserts like pot de crème and banana gratin. Another hook: an impressive California-French wine list and periodic pours by local winemakers.
