Dining room at Mustards Grill, Napa, CAThis landmark roadhouse is as emblematic of Napa Valley as the spunky plant that brightens the vineyards. Owner Cindy Pawlcyn, though seeded into restaurants farther up valley, ensures her heart is still rooted in this kitchen. The cozy dining room, with worn-in dark wood wainscoting and a checked marble floor gently cracked, reflects a quarter century of love. But the menu keeps contemporary and seasonal, and melds Asian and other exotic touches with approachable mainstays. Start with extra crispy, tender calamari under a haystack of sweet curry-dressed slaw and arugula; fluffy corn mash tamales spooned onto husks with creamy tomatillo-avocado salsa; or an irresistible pile of thin onion rings, intertwined like a game of Barrel of Monkeys. Entrées from the smoker beckon, like dark-skinned tea-infused duck with sticky rice, and just-right hanger steak with sweet onion jam. Cherries balance a pair of wood-roasted chipotle-rubbed quail. Among the comforting desserts: mile-high lemon-lime pie and pillowy rice pudding with huckleberries. Close proximity seating creates a buzzing community, and it’s not unusual to partake in cross-table conversation and contemplation of dishes. The vibe feels relaxed in a put-the-day-behind-you way. Impressive New World wine list, with fine by-the-glass selections.
