Napa East Wine Lounge & Shop Restaurant Review:


As one might expect given the name, the 100-plus wines on tap by the glass at this cozy yet modern lounge and restaurant come almost exclusively from California wineries, both familiar and obscure. Wine bottles are a part of the colorful décor and the expert staff will help with pairing dishes from the fairly standard menu. Offerings include New England clam chowder with sherry and bacon, crispy tempura green beans and an artisan lobster mac ‘n’ cheese with aged Vermont cheddar and goat cheese. There is a small selection of cheeses for before-dinner gatherings as well as crisp California style wood-fired pizzas. Entrées feature slow-braised short ribs, paella and a simple chicken piccata, which are all tasty enough, but lacking in the creativity that might do the wine list more justice. For dessert, try the chocolate soufflé or a dark chocolate mousse with fresh raspberries.
