Restaurant Review

Bar and Communal Table

Open Kitchen

I have a officially been converted to the vegi way of life. Not that I ever had anything against vegetables. I am always game for a vegetarian meal once in awhile, but dinner at Michelin star restaurant Ubutu in Napa could have changed my meat and potato ways. They are a vegetable cookery restaurant that does not claim to be vegan or vegetarian. With an attached yoga studio there is an earthy urban hipster vibe throughout the entire restaurant. Chef Jeremy Fox passed the torch down to 26 year old CIA alum Aaron London who is continuing the glory. Perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented you walk out not feeling over stuffed but extremely satisfied. The service is on par with the food. The staff were all very helpful and friendly throughout the entire night. At the end of the meal, coming back to my seat, I passed Chef London. I thanked him for a gorgeous meal and without asking he followed me back to our table to introduce himself to our entire party.
