Chef Ben Adams adds a fresh spin to contemporary Southern cuisine at Napa Café, and the staff at this cozy bistro is prepared to help patrons pair wines with any dish. Start the meal with chilled “swanky” shrimp with classic rémoulade or beef short rib sliders. Entrées include standard fare such as filet mignon, goat cheese-stuffed free-range chicken breast, and gussied-up shrimp and grits. Stop in on a weekday for lunch and order the daily business blue plate special, which ranges from chicken and dumplings to slow-cooked pot roast. In keeping with very traditional regional Southern tastes, the sweet buttermilk pie makes an appropriate closure. The extensive wine list features mostly California wines but also a few from France and Australia. Ask about wine-focused dinners and events.
