Best Historic Restaurants in Wine Country

Native San Franciscan who loves the legendary restaurant.

A delightful experience with 4 delicious courses, we loved every bite and every minute. One of the best and most memorable meals I have had in years.

The Saint is a Saint Helena gem, with amazing boutique wines from small producers not widely found on wine lists, and fantastic food from Market next door, another Saint Helena gem. Stephanie at the bar was warm and attentive, and fun to chat with. The lounge vibe makes The Saint a great place to just hang out, especially on a slow night; you won't be hurried out the door and can usually meet a few other locals stopping in for an after work cocktail or fine glass of wine.

Great food, service and ambiance. Went on a date with my husband and it felt very cozy.

Spectacular long time local favorite with different takes and tastes on favorite foods. The long, narrow, high ceiling and rock walls make for a loud setting. The Oysters are fresh and tasty. The Lobster roll is artful, enhanced by thoroughly mixing and drizzling the vin. The Salmon was perfectly done . Try the suggested plates like the Scallops. Even desserts innovate with the Brûlée Banana Split, though there was too much ice cream, hiding the delight. There is a full bar and an extensive,, Cabernet heavy, local wine list. Service is good but stretched, with long time waitstaff.
