Napa Valley Grille in Westwood has fantastic food and wine with a great atmosphere (4/11)
The Napa Valley Grille, located in the heart of Westwood Village, is one of the jewels of the Los Angeles dining experience. Walk inside and exhale. You will feel the stress of the city disappear as you sit in your comfortable, spacious booth amongst the wine bottles and high ceilings. There is also an outdoor patio and private dining area for parties.
The menu is a reflection of the season because of their use of seasonal ingredients. Start with some fresh Spring Pea Soup with truffle essence or a classic Caesar Salad with large shrimp, grilled to perfection. The Pacific Northwest Oysters are another great starter. The small Kusshi oysters were packed with that fresh ocean flavor that any oyster lover craves.
Entrees include the Wild Striped Bass is delicate and served with delicious and healthy roasted yellow beets, ruby grapefruit and bloomsdale spinach. You definitely don’t want to miss out on the Wild Diver Scallops served with spring carrot puree and saffron vinaigrette. You won’t eat better scallops anywhere in the city, as this was our favorite dish of the night. They are fresh, smoky and delicate. For something different, try the unique Mint Noodles. Mint is infused in the large house made flat noodles and perfectly mixed with cultivated mushrooms and sugar snap peas but
There are plenty of delicious desserts to choose from, but you have to try the Artisan Cheeses at the end of the meal. They are simply delicious. The Loma Alta is like Brie, but not as heavy. The Cave Aged Marissa is like sweet Parmesan that you would experience in Italy. The Goat Gouda and Truffle Tremor Goat cheeses are spectacular as well.
This Napa Valley Grille isn’t located in Napa Valley, but it sure feels like it is. The restaurant has fresh seasonal dishes, great wines, and a relaxed friendly atmosphere. What better way to spend an evening in West L.A. The staff and service were excellent as we highly recommend the Napa Valley Grille for dinner or any occasion.
