Lucy Restaurant & Bar at Bardessono

What it's like

Lucy is the restaurant and bar at Bardessono, the boutique hotel on Yount Street in Yountville. It is a calm, polished setting that works as well for a hotel breakfast as for a long dinner, and the cooking is American and seasonal with a lean toward produce from the surrounding valley.

Who it's best for

Hotel guests who want to stay put, and visitors who prefer a quieter, less crowded alternative to the busiest Washington Street tables. It is a good fit for a slow weekend brunch, a relaxed lunch or a low-key dinner with wine.

What to order & how to book

Lucy serves breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, with brunch on weekends and a prix fixe Sunday supper. Menus and any set-menu pricing are on the restaurant's site, so check them before you go, especially for the Sunday supper.

To reserve, use the reservations page on the Lucy site, call 707-204-6030 or email diningroom@bardessono.com with your date, time and party size. Dinner on weekends and the Sunday supper are the busiest, so booking ahead is sensible. Check current hours on the site before you go, since hotel dining times can shift with the season.

How it fits into a day

Lucy is a good morning anchor if you are staying in Yountville: start with breakfast, then walk to the town's galleries and shops, or drive up-valley for tastings. As a dinner, it pairs with an early evening at a nearby tasting room or a stroll along Washington Street. If you are enjoying the wine list, stay at the hotel, walk back to your lodging, or arrange a rideshare or designated driver.
