Restaurant #116 is Redd in Yountville, CA
Redd is ridiculously cool and trendy. From the ambiance to the aprons to the food, it's all spot on to be the hot spot of Yountville. We passed it twice because we were unsure what restaurant it was or if it was an eatery at all. It has a tiny hidden sign that says its name, that could be easily missed and that might be my only complaint, except that Redd is so good it is worth the hunt.
It was a gorgeous day so we opted to sit outside. We actually went to Michael Chiarello's restaurant Bottega first, but when they informed us they had no outdoor servers available for the lounge area we chose Redd instead. Not sure why such a big name restaurant wouldn't have a server outside on a 90 degree Sunday. No worries, we still had a great meal elsewhere (still love you Bottega).
The patio is sleek and comfortable, boasting plastic green chairs and a soothing water feature. Our server was casual yet efficient. We actually commented that his laid back style didn't fit the environment, but we still liked him lots. We will definitely go back for dinner to sit in the ultra-trendy interior.
What I ate & how I liked it:
Duck Confit, mushroom risotto, thyme jus A+
The duck was perfectly cooked and the risotto was amongst the creamiest I have ever had.
Prosciutto, scrambled egg and creme fraiche breakfast pizza A
The crust was thin and crisp, just like the prosciutto. I could have done without the eggs, but I am not an egg person.
