Joseph Gillard has taken the reins in the kitchen at the cozy Napa Valley Grille, conveniently located (at least for those on the Westside) in Westwood. You can trust Gillard and the quality of his ingredients: he was raised on a farm where his family lived entirely off their own production. At the age of five, Gillard decided to become a chef, and he has succeeded nicely, with a home-cooking style that has charm and taste. He has kept some favorite dishes from former chef Anne Conness, while adding his new creations. Start with Pacific Northwest oysters with lavender granita, the jumbo lump crab cake with blood orange vinaigrette, or the organic baby lettuce salad. The grilled barramundi or the yellowfin tuna in “cassoulet” are good choices if your mood calls for fish. We like the short ribs on mirepoix risotto or the filet of Prime rib-eye with mushroom medley, and the heritage pork chop. You can choose a plate of artisanal cheeses before trying the sweets, executed by pastry chef Manuel Ortega. Desserts may include a tangerine tart, the peanut butter mousse with chocolate torte, or the apple turnover with Calvados ice cream. The wine list focuses on Northern California wineries---no surprise, given the name of the place.
