Editorial Review for Redd – by Andrea Arria-Devoe
In Short
Glossy wood floors, unadorned white walls, and sleek chrome chairs set the scene for Chef Richard Reddington's fine-tuned cuisine. Dishes reflect a deft, yet delicate use of emulsions, gelées and crudos with an emphasis on drawing out the flavor of seasonal ingredients. Mains include vegetarian squash-filled ravioli showered with cubes of parsnip, celery root and mushrooms, horseradish encrusted short ribs, and Redd's signature caramelized diver scallops with cauliflower puree and almonds in a balsamic reduction.

I am stationed up at Travis AFB, which is not too far from Napa County. My family was up visiting me and my daughter(who was around 18 months at the time). we decided to go wine tasting in Napa, something which i had done in the past. We went to a few wineries and decided to stop somewhere for lunch. We asked a woman at the tourist info place and she suggested it. As soon as we walked in, we felt animosity. was it because we were dressed in jeans and sweatshirts? it was a cold, drizzling January day. Or perhaps it was because i had my daughter with me. We were fisrt rudely told that they didnt have any highchairs. Undetered, my dad said the baby could sit in her stroller. Form there, the service got worse. We were given dirty looks by every employee that passed us. Granted, my daughter is not silent, but she was very well behaved, the little noise she made was an occassional giggle. We ordered and luckily for us were given bread, becasue the portions were so tiny. And i am not a big eater. My dad's pork belly was no more than 7 bites. Tasty, but hardly lunch. The only time we evoked a smile was when we left, the shift leader was gracious that we left. All in all, it was one of the worst experiences i have ever had. it was lunch time, and i am pretty sure that it was a public restaurant. I will never go back there, or recommend it to anyone. The one star i gave was because my dad's sample of pork actaully was a little good.
Pros: um...i liked the bread
Cons: everything else

So French Laundry, being the presume gold standard with terra, La toque, the Cafe at Chandon and Meadowood the pretenders to the throne, I gotta way that Redd has got to be the prince heir in exile. A chic, minimalist space with very accomodating and chic, minimalist servers. the Hamachi starter was in fact to die for, my veggi risotto was divine and my boyfriend's halibut was stunning. We went to Bouchon for our customary fries afterward so I can't comment on dessert here yet.
