Healdsburg’s Cyrus compels a culinary pilgrimage beyond Napa Valley. Settle under archways bathed in warm lamplight as a caviar and Champagne cart rolls up to underscore the night’s theme: luxury. Tuck into any of five lavish caviars, gold bars counterbalance the scale, as co-owner/maître d’ Nick Peyton lays out the five- or eight-course tasting menu from co-owner and chef Douglas Keane. Keane’s cuisine exudes contemporary sensibility as he globe-trots for inspiration while respecting seasonality. As an array of artisan breads (all made on premise) advances, so too do courses like roasted lobster with daikon and Mandarins; seared foie gras with Asian pear coulis and lentils; and lamb roulade with “cannelloni” and parsnip purée. Unanticipated palate refreshers blur courses. Surrender to sommelier Chase DuBay for wine pairings from a grand collection. While choreographed attendants come with the territory, here nothing feels staged. All swap duties between tables and relay details with a gleam in their eyes---indicative of impeccable training and personal faith in the offerings. The staff’s natural poise quashes pretense. Factor in the mixologist’s fancy cocktail formulas to start, and the heady cheese cart and pastry chef Roy Shvartzapel’s desserts as finales.
