Lovely brunch following a couple of tastings in the area. Savannah was fantastic. Great recommendations and very attentive. The grounds are beautiful. Sunday brunch at 2:30 was quiet. This was our first visit but will not be our last. read more

What truly set the evening apart was the service of Madison Baker Crosby, who leads the front of house at Forum Restaurant Meadowood. We had genuinely engaging conversations with Madison and Chris throughout the night, which honestly primed me to appreciate the cuisine even more. The oysters were local and tasted like they'd been pulled out of the ocean about five minutes earlier! The steak arrived fast and to perfection. It felt like pure opulence. Considering it was well past closing after a long weekend, the standards never slipped for a second. Highly recommended read more

Peace. Refinement. Forum at Meadowood shines in these areas and the food is generally incredible. I dined here for dinner recently since I was in the area for a conference. The dining room was nearly empty, making it feel as if we had the entire place to ourselves. Service was warm, friendly, and professional without being stufy. Ambiance matches the food. You are enmeshed in a peaceful sanctuary, enveloped by the lush greenery outside. Soft, tasteful music accompanies. The food is very good, at times superb, with attractive, precise platings. Appetizers and shareables shine. Free Bread Course (5/5) - outrageously tasty. Some of the best focaccia I've had, with their absurdly good estate olive oil to dip in. Difficult to not eat too much of this. Meadowood Farms Spring Green Salad (5/5) - $22 - Ridiculously fresh vegetables picked from Meadowood's own garden. The top-level freshness reminded me of vegetables at Single Thread. Globe Artichoke Confit (5/5) - $26 - Perhaps my favorite dish of the evening, oozing umami flavor, with crispy trumpet mushrooms and artichoke hearts swimming in a bed of delectable tomato concasse. The accompanying estate olive oil is some of the best I've had. Liberty Farms Duck Leg Confit (4.5/5) - $42 - Tough for me to ever pass up duck confit, and this version did not disappoint. The accompanying blackberry beet reduction was perfect. Arroz Caldo (3.5/5) - $19 - The only slight disappointment of the night. The shredded chicken was moist, but the ginger favorite was overwhelmed by the overabundance of salt. Chocolate Pot de Creme (4/5) - $16 - Pretty good, with rich, deep chocolate notes, but we were probably too full at this point to fully appreciate. They have a nice coffee program here as well, as we enjoyed an espresso and americano. All told, a very enjoyable dinner! Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Value: 4/5 Total for two, all-in, with one cocktail and two coffees: $230 read more

Date of Visit: 3/28/2026 We visited The Forum at Meadowood Napa Valley for afternoon late lunch. Between the hours of 3 to 6pm, there was a Golden Hour menu that offers light foods, including vegetable tempura, burgers, poke etc. There are some selection of cocktails and wine with a discounted price. Schramsberg, Brut Rosé, North Coast 2021 $21 Husband got the Brut Rosé that was bubbly and refreshing. Rivers-Marie, Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast 2023 $20 I got the Chardonnay with the taste of zesty lemon and candied lemon peel. Walter Hansel "Cahill Lane," Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley 2022 $20 And we ordered the third glass of Pinot Noir to pair with foods. This tastes like a traditional Pinot Noir of California with the mushroom earthy smell and the shoe box aroma. Spring Vegetable Tempura $22 I ordered the spring vegetable tempuras made from Meadowood Farm vegetables, including asparagus, leek etc. On the side there were a bowl of English pea pesto. Forum Burger $23 Husband got the burger with medium grilled Akaushi beef, onion-bacon jam, cheddar cheese, secret sauce, brioche bun, and also French fries on the side. read more

I had wanted to try Forum since I moved to the area a few years ago. I finally was able to try the brunch. When I first arrived at the gate, I stopped and was asked why, I was there? It caught me off guard, and didn't really make me feel welcome initially. Then it was confusing of how to find the restaurant Forum. I first went to the hotel lobby. I finally found the restaurant. The Mimosa was good - but it was a little awkward trying to drink it with the edible flower pieces. I ordered an appetizer and an entire, I was never asked if I wanted them to come out separately. I received the appetizer first and it took me pushing it to the side and asking for my entree to then have the server come back shortly after that and told me the kitchen was now making the entree. I also had run out of water a couple of times. When I first arrived it did not look like there were many guests currently dining, and service was quite slow, and not that present. The staff was professional, but I felt it was lacking hospitality. The food was good. I really enjoyed the queso dip. The Benedict was a little weird. There was a large chunk of tomato, but not that much avocado, or crispy prosciutto. The basil hollandaise sauce though was amazing! I'm not sure if I just happened to be there on an off day or what happened but it didn't leave me wanting to come back. It was a very slow and just mediocre experience. read more

**Brunch review: 11.15.2025** My girls and I came here yesterday (thankfully it wasn't raining) and we were able to sit outside for some much-needed fresh air. It was a bit chilly, but the inside sitting was a bit crowded with people already, and I wanted to be able to chat with my friends w/o everyone hearing our stories. Location: really pay attention to your GPS! We missed it the first time, and we were able to finally make a U-turn in a private driveway w/o any incident. The ambiance of the restaurant was very clean, airy, and modern with a chic mountain vibe. Staff were friendly and prompt with everything that we needed... Our server was Bernardo, and he was very accommodating and kept checking in on us with moderation. We ordered Cinnamon Sugar Beignets as a starter (but it really should be a dessert!) It was warm, airy, and it goes better with chocolate and the dulce de leche. The berry compote was a bit too chunky and tart... perhaps that's why I didn't really like it much, but it was perfect to share for 3, for a bigger group, perhaps 2 orders will suffice, but will order it for dessert next time out. We also all ordered an orange mimosa - why not, right? For my entree, I ordered the steak and eggs... with the chimichurri on the side. The steak I ordered was medium, and it was done correctly... I didn't fully finish my food b/c I think I just got full from the beignets. Food was a lot tastier than our time out at Harvest Inn which I still need to review...  My other friends ordered the butternut squash ravioli, which I had, and it was good, just a bit too filling. My other friend ordered the two eggs as you wish, and she too liked it and almost finished. Since our tasting wasn't until 2 pm, we had about an hour to spare, so we asked our server if they could make us an espresso martini - to which he replied and said that they could with fresh espresso, not liquor. We again ordered 3 b/c why not... overall - plus 20% tip... under $100 for 3 with all of our entrees and drinks combined. It's decent for Napa pricing plus with the economy... Overall, will definitely visit with the other missing girls next time out. I think it would be pretty in the summer with their couches. To the management, your staff during our visit were all friendly, and we were very grateful for that. PS: Their glasses for the mimosa and the espresso martinis were all plastic. Not sure if it was b/c we were outside, but I think it would have been nicer if it were real glassware. read more

Not that it applies to me but quiet luxury for the win. That's Meadowood. Because loud luxury with all the bling bling can be a sensory overload. Meadowood is a secluded 250-acre resort with sprawling views of the hills, golf course, vineyards, and trails. And, they have an award-winning spa. If you're down to spend $1-1.5k a night for a special occasion, it's may be worth the splurge. You just may even get lucky. ;) BUT if not, don't sleep on visiting the Forum at Meadowood for brunch. While The Restaurant at Meadowood remains closed due to the fire, Forum at Meadowood is the resort's central restaurant (open to the public). They opened in October 2022 and offer indoor dining and outdoor patio dining. Kindly note that the outdoor seating allows well-behaved dogs (but call to confirm in case things change). If you want to stay at the resort, only service dogs are allowed. The executive chef is a 35-year (!) Meadowood employee that started as a dishwasher and rose the ranks. We made rezzies for their outdoor patio which was the right move. Even on a quiet Thursday, the patio seats seemed to be preferred by guests over the indoor dining area. M E N U New American Cuisine w/ a Mexican bent. Seasonally driven menu w/ ingredients sourced from their 5-acre farm. Golden Hour (HH Specials): Every day from 3 pm - 6 pm. Ex: $12-$14 cocktails, a steal for a $$$$$ resort! Full bar. NO corkage fee for your first two bottles; $35/bottle thereafter. D R I N K S * Complimentary still or sparkling water * Freshly squeezed OJ ($10 x2) F O O D * Cochinita Pibil Benedict: Yucatán braised pork, pickled red onions, charred jalapeño hollandaise, model bakery english muffin, breakfast potatoes ($32): https://tinyurl.com/y28vcfpn - Requested soft poached eggs (default: medium) With the chef's Michoacán roots, I had to order one of their Mexican fusion brunch dishes. When cutting into the perfectly poached eggs, liquid gold oozed out like lava blanketing the moist and juicy, citrus-kissed cochinita pibil and soaking into the crannies of the toasted fluffy soft english muffin. Deliciously rich and savory with the tangy pickled onions balancing the creamy hollandaise. The muffins' exterior stayed crisp until the last bite. Served with a side of griddled, well-seasoned fingerling potatoes. * Corned Beef Hash w/ caramelized onions, potato, cherry tomato, chipotle barbecue, eggs, toast ($28): https://tinyurl.com/8jajfum7 - Requested scrambled eggs - Sub toast for model bakery english muffin (+$3) Not my order but I tried a bite. Ok, three bites and it hit the spot. The corned beef was beefy and flavorful (not salty). The crispy edges paired with the soft, loose curds and sweet, caramelized onions were pretty bomb. Served with a side of chipotle bbq sauce (didn't try). The toasted english muffin is served with silky housemade butter and housemade jam (didn't try). * Bacon (Side - $9) Five slices of crispy, savory bacon (not overly salty or processed tasting). * Sausage (Side-$9) Four long links, the sausage was well-spiced and juicy with a nice snappy texture. S E R V I C E Everado was our main server who was super kind and gracious. Even offered water to TT. Prompt food service. A M B I A N C E Quaint, green house vibes with ample seating inside and outside for 100+ and trendy bar area. P A R K I N G Complimentary self-parking. No valet since The Restaurant at Meadowood closed. Overall, as a non-breakfast/brunch person, I really enjoyed our meal at Forum at Meadowood and the serene atmosphere. They know how to showcase great local ingredients in an elevated but approachable way. Everything (food-wise) kinda went downhill afterwards at other restos but that's for another review! read more

Lovely restaurant inside the Meadowood resort. Reservations were easy to make online and you don't have to be a guest to dine there. When we arrived for lunch on Sunday, it had a quiet, serene and peaceful vibe. There were plenty of shaded dining tables outside in the patio, but we opted to eat inside. The inside has floor-to-ceiling windows throughout so the sunlight streaming in was amazing. The menu offerings weren't super creative, but had solid options like truffle gnocchi, eggs benedict, pastries etc. The price point was what I expected for Napa. I got the rock cod tacos. I found a short hair in my tacos, but they rectified that immediately with a new dish. The banquette seating was beautiful from afar but I noticed it had quite a bit of crumbs and dried food stains from previous diners. It would benefit from a deep cleaning once a month. The restrooms in the back were large, clean and well stocked though. Service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a pleasant meal. With some minor adjustments, it would be a five star experience next time. read more

Very cute restaurant, bright and lofty with a cute outdoor area. It was a beautiful day in Napa Valley and was disappointed that we were forced to sit inside when we reserved for patio seating. Due to bees is what they said. We reluctantly stayed and ordered chicken and waffles and pancakes. Food: chicken was very moist but batter could use more spices/salt/flavor. Pancakes were also yummy. No syrup served with it and only whip cream and fruits. If you like it sweeter ask for syrup. Service was helpful and efficient. You don't have to be a hotel guest to eat there but is def hotel pricing on the food. read more

*Would only go back for wine & outdoor lounge space... not for the food. Pros: Wine selection was great! Ambiance was wonderful! Service was good, albeit slower. Outdoor space looks amazing & is pup-friendly. Cons: If you're hungry, eat before you go. Bring snacks for in-between courses. You might have to stop off to grab food on the way home. Thankful they kept bringing the yummy bread! Lacked course timing, underseasoned, pricey. $550 later, yet we left underwhelmed & unfulfilled. Our meal took over 3.5 hours... (details below)... there's a fine line between building anticipation/ "hunger sauce" & causing anxiety/ frustration. **Napa Restaurant Month** If you wanted a steak (ie. the "NY strip" offered as part of their limited-time prix fixe menu), this is probably not what you're looking for. Gray, gray, gray... no matter your temp preference, medium? Gray... Medium rare? Gray... Rare? Gray. Perhaps the sous vide method with added grill marks, but they should tell customers that since most folks are expecting a steak-like steak. Oh, and it's actually just 3 slices OF A steak (questionable if truly NY cut), barely room temperature, but tasted okay (needed a dash of seasoning). Our meal took 3.5 hours... mostly because the kitchen "timed" the courses 30+ minutes apart. Maybe they were going for dramatic effect, but there's a fine line between "hunger sauce" & frustration. None of the courses were so complicated to justify the wait AND the place was nearly empty. Our wine pairings were poured 10-15 minutes before each course, so we sat there trying not to drink the wine because we wanted to taste it WITH our food. We had a nice time with friends, but the timing was a bit strange. The food: Course 1 - Hamachi was really good! 3 slices with jalapeño crema, radish, cilantro, lime vinaigrette. Course 2 - Chicken tortilla soup. 4 spoonfuls of luke warm tomato soup poured over a few cubed morsels. This had the flavor of spaghettiOs. When I said it out loud to our table, everyone laughed & agreed... it was the taste they were all trying to peg. Course 3 - NY strip. 3 slices of almost-warm, gray meat with 3 potato slices, 2 carrot halves, sautéed Swiss chard, chimichurri. Veggies were tasty. Course 4 - (they ran out) so we got something from their regular menu. The sesame citrus gâteau was not my favorite. The cheesecake was so bitter, I took 2 bites & could not eat anymore. We also ordered for the table: -- Elotes (not very good, still on the cob,not worth the effort); -- Brussels sprouts (fresh, but undercooked & underseasoned); -- Mushrooms (naturally flavorful, but unseasoned); -- Their complimentary bread plate & olive oil was Yum!! read more

3.5 stars Got the steak and the risotto with scallop as entrees. The steak was tasty and served medium rare as requested. The risotto was way too salty so it was a bit of a let down. The scallops were cooked well though. The breakfast was better. Got the pulled pork Benedict. It was a hefty portion and served with the famous model n English muffins. read more

Beautiful location and food. The attention to detail and luxuriant pacing made this an ideal date night destination.

We appreciated having so many vegetarian options. The cocktails were also well crafted and delicious. Looking forward to a return visit the next time I'm in Napa Valley! read more

Made a reservation for lunch with friends. A birthday double date and it was lovely from start to finish. Ambiance Quiet greenhouse vibes forest bathing on the patio on a lovely fall day. The weather made the outside nice but I prefer sitting inside - comfy clean and beautiful bar. It is just a tent fyi. Kinda like a functioning trailer after the fire but they made it nice. Food We tried a lot and everything was good. The empanadas had really nice flavors but were so small so it was a little two bite treat like you'd get at a wedding or party. The ahi poke was delicious wish I had one more chip - my ratio must be off. The apple flatbread was a crowd favorite because of the large pieces of fried prosciutto. Two burgers with truffle fries. The beet salad add grilled shrimp was tasty and a beautiful presentation. Last entree was the pastor tacos (3) and they were gone quickly. We tried the pumpkin mousse dessert, the caramel mousse one and received a chocolate dessert since we had a birthday boy! Nice cappuccino too. My wife enjoyed a couple glasses of the Phillipponat Royal Reserve champagne Our server was so friendly and kind and made great suggestions but it wasn't like fine dining how it used to be at all. I'd like to see a return of a more elevated menu but maybe people are into casual more now. read more

Julio, our amazing server, brought a splash of champagne when he heard we were celebrating. He was friendly and helpful. The service was excellent.

This place is delicious. Service is outstanding and so is the food.

I also paired it with a Vanilla Latte - just amazing. My guest had the Spring Omelette filled with bacon, asparagus, onions, tomatoes, fava beans, and Feta cheese. I had a couple bites and that was great too. If you're staying at Meadowood, then this is a must. read more

Just had breakfast here! I ordered the olive oil pancakes, basic eggs + bacon breakfast, and a Berry Bae pressed juice - I would have to say it was good overall. I wish there was more flavor in the eggs and bacon breakfast place with a bigger side of potatoes, but that is my preference. The pancakes and juice were good and the 'off and away in a forest vibe' is always very nice. The servers were very sweet and checked in quite often - definitely appreciated this! read more

Simply wonderful. The Forum is a small intimate restaurant located inside Meadowood. This place gets lost compare to the other open restaurants in the area, and more catered towards hotel guest. Still it's a short five minute drive from the main road up to the Forum. The coffee are not the star here, but their brunch. The English Muffin (from Model Bakery) and their Croissant with butter and fresh jam is a perfect start to the meal. The Pork Belly Risotto was cooked perfectly; something different but I would've love to see the Forum use scallops or lobster. The filet with hash brown and eggs was just the right portion. Steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and the thinly shaved potato was fried crispy. The service was very good and plenty of wait staff to tend to your needs. A definite place to try if you're in the area. read more

So disappointing. Though the service was excellent, not much else was anything we would rave about. We started with the octopus appetizer and the gnocchi appetizer. both were cooked quite well, the sauces that accompanied them were pretty awful. For entrees we had the red snapper and the chicken, again the chicken and red snapper themselves were prepared well and fresh, but the sauces were just horrible. Extremely salty and not a good taste nor was it particularly Pleasant to look at. We were quite disappointed with this meal and don't know if we'll give them another chance I tend to doubt it read more

The mains were a lobster roll, rock cod fish tacos, corned beef hash and chicken & waffles. Everything was made to perfection. The lobster roll was flanked by a gently toasted bun. The fried chicken on the chicken & waffles was tender on the inside and perfectly crisped on the outside. My most favorite though was the fish tacos. Easily the best I've ever had. read more

Nice getaway from the busy St Helena scene! Love the ambiance, and the service was top notch! Espresso and coffee were great, they gave us refills. We started with churros.

We had the burger which was delicious, the shredded chicken Benedict was great. They gave us extra grilled peppers! My corned beef hash was ok, I think the bbq sauce is overwhelming for this dish.

We really excited to dine here but our experience left more to desired. The interior and grounds were decorated beautifully which made us all the more excited to get seated and try some of their dishes. All the starters we ordered were great. The ceviche tasted fresh and the addition of the peaches/nectarines added a great contrast to the fish. Bringing out the sweetness and brightness of the fish. The soft shell crab was also a delight, the batter wasn't too heavier and the bed of carrots made for a refreshing bite. For entrees our table went with the swordfish which had a great smokey flavor was well balanced. We also ordered the chicken, cauliflower steak, duck and halibut. With the duck and swordfish being the standout dishes. The duck was cooked well and had a great crispy skin. While the cauliflower steak had a wonderfully nutty sauce. Our server recommend the halibut to which 3/8 people at our table ordered. What really hooked us was the description of flakey fish and a dashi flavor. However we found our dishes to be on the drier side and without any notes of a dashi flavor. The sauce the fish came atop was quite thick and light in flavor and didn't seem to do much to elevate the dish. While the mitaki mushrooms seemed to be a bit on the salter side which completed contrasted the fish, making for a somewhat disjointed meal. Although the quality of the ingredients were amazing as the snap peas were perfectly crunchy and sweet we found this particular dish to not quite deliver. After finishing up our entrees the sun did seem to encroach and start blinding half our table. We did ask the server if there were shades but there wasn't much the staff could do about the sun. Overall some of our party was left with a dissatisfied experience as some dishes didn't seem to excite as much as others. read more

Lovely place in the middle of the woods! I loved the ambience and eating outdoors was the perfect setting during our day trip to Napa. Food was beautiful but I wouldn't say it was out of this world - I give food a 3.7 (I wish I could be this specific on Yelp). Service was also good. We went indoors as the evening progressed for a glass of wine where it was cool and air conditioned- beautiful interiors. Would come back one day if coming with a nice group of friends, because it's a quiet but high end restaurant in Napa - and sometimes you need that! read more
