California dreaming, from the Pacific Coast fare to the Napa and Sonoma anchored wine list, is reinforced in chic surroundings.

Dining room at Napa River Grill, Louisville, KYLots of creek stone, wood and glass set the tone for this corner of the West Coast in the Ohio River Valley. Choose from several dining rooms of the laidback bar to enjoy the Northern California and Pacific Rim offerings. Maytag blue cheese crumbles adorn the iceberg wedge, and Alaskan king crab anchors the Bodega Bay crab cakes. Asian “nachos” are made with ahi and wonton chips. Entrées include cast-iron skillet seared steak, pad thai and Pacific salmon. At lunch, the restaurant, despite its California culinary tone, fields its own version of the Louisville Hot Brown, a classic sandwich. Pastry chef Michelle Childers turns out dramatic desserts, anchored by the Gold Rush Chocolate Decadence, a flourless chocolate cake. Wines, again mostly Californian, are very well chosen to pair with the menu, and many are available by the glass. Daily from 4:30 p.m.-7 p.m., specials feature half price wines by the glass, drink specials and “Napa tidbits,” small morsels, available only in the bar area.
