Dining room at Napa Valley Grille, Los Angeles, CAA solid dining pick in Westwood is Napa Valley Grille, helmed by chef Joseph Gillard, an alum of the Patina Restaurant Group. You can trust Gillard and the quality of his ingredients: he was raised on a farm where his family operated a garden and market stand. 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. Start with Pacific Northwest oysters, an organic baby lettuce salad or yellowtail sashimi with pepperdew peppers, pancetta and mâche. Main dishes range from homemade pastas like sweet corn ravioli with cherry tomatoes and burrata to hearty grilled entrées such as the 32 oz. Prime cowboy rib chop with smoked sea salt. À la carte sides of sugar snap peas and carrots with coriander and cilantro butter are enticing options for fulfilling your daily recommended servings of vegetables. Be sure to compose a plate of artisanal cheeses before trying the sweets, executed by pastry chef Manuel Ortega. Desserts may include a Meyer lemon panna cotta, brioche bread pudding, and apple pie with balsamic-cider reduction and sweetened cream. The wine list focuses on Northern California wineries---no surprise, given the restaurant's name.
