Napa Valley Grille
Providing an atmosphere more in tune with its namesake region of northern California than the busy urbanism of Los Angeles, Napa Valley Grille is an oasis of rustic cuisine just off busy Wilshire Boulevard. Hosting special dinners in partnership with Napa-based vineyards, the Grille exudes a different pace of life with its carefully prepared dishes. They come together as multiple elements to create a harmonious whole, according to head chef Taylor Boudreaux. Dishes range from grilled pacific swordfish and other fine catches to delicate sides like the salad of poached figs, heirloom tomatoes and goat cheese. Napa Valley Grille’s menu epitomizes the best of California. Serving breakfast cocktails for a low price, Napa Valley Grille’s brunch menu is also an unmissable Westwood standout.
