I have been to La Toque twice now, and both times the food and wine have been fantastic. No doubt this is a place for foodies -- if your eyes don't glaze over detailing the flavors, textures and colors of your last favorite dish, then this may not be the place for you.

Over priced and pretentious with supercillious service makes this restaurant one to delete from your itinerary. October 2008 more

I went to La Toque in Rutherford 2 years ago, and as part of a group went back in its new location a few weeks ago. I can say in our 4 day stay our group of 6 found this to be our least favorite dining experience in Napa Valley. I wasn't too overwhelmed by it 2 years ago either.... more

As a premise, I'm not one who minds dropping significant cash for a great dining experience, and have had such experiences around the world, and... more
