Right next to Ad Hoc/Addendum is RO named for the Regiis Ova caviar as it was formerly a caviar and champagne lounge of Keller's. It has been rebranded to offer an Asian inspired food menu and I am definitely not mad about it. We came for HH and tried their entire food lineup as we came back from Japan and Hawaii only months before. Between the black truffle egg salad sando and pork katsu sando, it was the former that left us wanting a second order. However, the truffle flavor that made it shine during the first visit was much more subdued on our second. Between the Big Eye Tuna and King Salmon Chirashi Bowl and Snake River flat iron steak bowl, the chirashi was the one we duped as the tuna and salmon was super fresh that it took self-control not to devour that entire bowl without saying a single word. The royal caviar bump was surprisingly the one thing that was underwhelming considering it is formerly a caviar bar. I probably should've just gotten the osetra with the uni toast instead. The Hokkaido uni toast is on par with the uni we had in Japan, sweet, creamy, and oh so delicious. With the addition of the uni toast, the bill does add up even if you're only there for HH but it was worth every penny. read more

Probably my fav spot in Yountville. We've been twice, once for dinner and once for happy hour. Don't sleep on the happy hour. Lots of great dishes - our favs were the truffle egg sando, Hokkaido hotate, chirashi bowl and the flat iron bowl. read more

One of my favorite restaurants right now. We stopped by the last two times we were in Napa and I still cannot stop thinking about the Chirashi Bowl! The fish tastes so fresh and their ikura is not overly salty and smaller than other ikuras i've had. The best part though i think is the seasoned rice. The rice is so flavorful yet doesn't take away from the fish. You don't need to add additional soy sauce or wasabi either. The caviar tasting is pretty cool. Feels like a good deal since you get to taste 6 different caviars. Another highlight is the oysters. I was a bit hesitant about ordering the oysters at $6ea but definitely don't skip on it. They use ichiban ousters from skagit bay and it was so creamy and light tasting. The yuzu mignonette went perfectly with it as well. One thing they do really well are their vegetables. Everything was so flavorful. I can just keep going on about how wonderful everything here is. The service is fast, we were just finishing up the bellinis from the caviar tasting and a new set of bellinis arrived at my table without having to ask for it. The interior and exterior are all so pretty and make you feel so relaxed. Definitely stop by for some great food! They do have happy hour that i just missed but check it out on their website, it makes it slightly cheaper read more

I came here with my 4 year old who loves caviar, so I was a bit nervous bc of her young age. The food all tasted really good, and my 4 year old ate a lot more than I anticipated. She loved the milk bread, katsu, caviar, chips and all 3 desserts. We ordered a lot to share, and service was amazing. We'll probably return the next time we're in town. read more

Happy hour is pretty good over here. Cocktails are $10 Caviar bumps are $15 I liked my sake sour drink that I bought two The chirashi bowl was good and has a lot of fish The oyster have this unique and tasty yuzu hogwash that I never had before. The oysters were plump and perfect. Not too small not too big. The katsu sando was perfect! The pork was a nice juicy think piece and had the right amount of oanko breading and katsu sauce. Of course the bouchoj bread makes it good too. The servers are attentive and it's a chill vibe. read more

We came for a Mother's Day snack before dinner, post wine tasting. Very indulgent Mother's Day but very well deserved! We had a larger party, but we were easily seated outside in their patio. Super comfy chairs, and also very low to the ground, great for the kids! This is a caviar and champagne lounge by TKG, so expect luxury and over-the-top service. Our server was very attentive, the dining room team kept our table bussed and neat, and food came out relatively fast. Tasting of Regiis Ova Caviar: a sample of 6 of the Regiis Ova caviar line: Golden Ossetra, Ossetra, Hybrid, Supreme, Siberian and Royal Caviar. Comes with the classic garnishes of shaved egg yolk, Crème fraiche, and chives, a bowl of potato chips, and blinis. If this is your first time having caviar, the Tasting is a must! You have enough of each to distinguish between the varieties, and enough accoutrements to try with and without them on each sample! Chirashi Bowl: Koshihikari Rice, Bigeye Tuna, Ora King Salmon. Fresh fish on top of a rice mixture, diced into cubes for easy scooping. A fine accompaniment to the caviar and flowing champagne. Hokkaido Scallop Cured in Kombu: The French Laundry Culinary Garden Hakurei Turnips, Buttermilk, Kaffir Lime. Don't let the fancy ingredients and name scare you! It's a scallop crudo dish, if you like sashimi, you'll love this. Paper Plane: a cocktail from the French Laundry not on the menu at RO. Fantastic grapefruitish drink, good recommendation. If you have time and money to spare before dinner, this is a perfect spot to indulge in Napa's finest! read more

Incredible spot to come after a wine tasting. This used to be a champagne and caviar lounge. The menu leans Japanese, and everything we ordered was SO good. We went with a group of 5, and ordered just the right amount of food (essentially everything on the menu haha). Most memorable bites: -the Hokkaido uni toast -the tempura and the green goddess dipping sauce that comes with it -the shio koji caviar ice cream -the Koshihikari rice Friendly and inviting service. It's a gorgeous and minimal interior, and the desserts were next level. I will forever remember this special meal! read more

You really can't go wrong dining at a Thomas Keller restaurant, and this one is no exception. About a year and a half ago, it expanded from focusing solely on champagne and caviar to offering a full menu -- and it truly shines. The cocktails and every dish we tried were outstanding. The wagyu beef was incredibly tender, and dipping it into the egg yolk made it even more flavorful. The ambiance is beautiful, the service attentive, and the entire experience memorable. I highly recommend this place. read more

We had reservations at another restaurant in Yountville that was running an hour behind. We walked down the road to find anything.

RO Restaurant & Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Yountville, California

Champagne, caviar, jazz, Thomas Keller, what more could you ask for from RO?? It's truly the entire bougie package. We've sat both inside and outside before, and both provide different vibes so it depends on what mood you're going for. Inside is more intimate and romantic whereas outside is more relaxed. If you go on the weekend and for dinner, they also have a live jazz band! Do check their website for the schedule. It's Yountville, and if you're coming here, prepare to spend some big bucks. But it's so worth it because everything we've tried has been delectable. Their caviar dishes are always paired extremely well. I've also had some of the best oysters I've ever had here. Their non-caviar dishes are a treat themselves such as the big eye tuna & ora king salmon chirashi bowl, or the ribeye bowl. Basically, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu lol. Service is always consistent and good; the last time we went, our server/sommelier recognized us which was a nice touch. read more

Went to RO with my family of 10 and sat outside at the beautiful outdoor tables. We had a great server with a very fun and sweet personality. We swapped dog photos. Some of the things we ordered were: Ora King Salmon Roll ($21) Hokkaido Uni Toast ($22) Little Gem Lettuce ($15) Charred Cabbage ($16) Fried Jidori Chicken ($32) Pork Katsu ($28) Grilled Black Cod ($30) RO Dreams of Citrus ($14) Apple Chouquette ($14) Everything was amazing. The things that oddly stood out to me is the Gem Lettuce that had this amazing Koji cream dressing and bits of toasted quinoa that gave everything this extra crunch and flavor. The charred cabbage felt hearty but light. It was a perfect vegetable dish. I loved the Grilled Black Cod. It sat on top of mushroom rice porridge that made me feel like I was at home with my mom instead of sitting across from her. Overall an amazing experience where everyone left full and happy. read more

RO is Thomas Keller's Asian-inspired restaurant in the heart of Yountville. We came here for their happy hour (4-6pm Th-Sun) for discounted drinks and light bites. We made reservations ahead for the outdoor lounge and were seated around a cozy low table with a wide and plush lounge sofa and two comfortable side chairs. Our server was very helpful with explaining the menu items and check on us often. We started with the chirashi bowl and the flat iron(steak) bowls. They were so good we ordered more. We also added the black truffle sando , uni toasts, and scallops with kombu. Everything was delicious and beautifully plated, but be warned, the tab can add up fast! The happy hour menu can look like a bargain, but because the portions were small, we ended up ordering more, so perhaps it would have been better to just order the full meal option. Our tab came to about $60 person and that is without drinks or desserts. However, it was an elevated experience and we enjoyed ourselves. read more

We had an early dinner at RO Restaurant & Lounge at 5:30 pm with our two young kids. We were walk-in and the host was really nice, even letting us store the kids' bikes in the back. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The Bouchon Bakery Milk Bread was soft and buttery, and the kids loved it. The Charcoal-Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak was delicious and cooked medium rare, but we should have asked for medium well because it was a bit more red than we like in the middle. The Hokkaido Scallop Cured in Kombu was tasty but very small, like most of the dishes. The Grilled Black Cod with Matsutake Mushroom and Ginger Scallion Rice Porridge was good, but the flavors were mild and familiar, similar to other Japanese restaurants in the Bay Area, nothing surprising. The best thing we tried was the Hokkaido Uni Toast with Ossetra Caviar. For dessert, the Apple Chouquette and RO Dreams of Citrus Shaved Ice were both big hits with the kids. There are grape vines across the street, which made for a great photo with the kids. Overall, portions are small but the food and service are good. We would come back, especially for the uni toast with caviar and dessert. read more

Nothing quite says, flex like caviar and bubbly...from world renowned chef, Thomas Keller. But, I'm not here for that. I'm here for the dog-friendly patio. And, that uni toast! To my surprise, RO Restaurant & Lounge was dead on an early Saturday evening, tho customers started trickling in later on. Can't help but think if this was on The Row in Silicon Valley, it would be poppin' with rented lambos revving their engines in the background. Starting as a pop-up caviar lounge in 2021, TK transformed this into a brick & mortar restaurant in May 2024. Indoor and outdoor seating available (dog-friendly). Rezzies on Resy. M E N U Menu showcases Keller's own brand of caviar. Food menu is heavily Japanese and Hawaiian influenced. HH specials: Wednesday - Sunday, 4 pm - 6 pm. Although they bill themselves as a "restaurant", IMO, this is def more than a lounge with small bites than a place for a full sit down meal. Full bar. D R I N K S * Belvedere Vodka, shaken w/ a lemon twist ($19): https://tinyurl.com/mvstfe25 It's a champagne bar so understandably, they were limited in their vodka selection. The shaken belvedere was fine. F O O D * 1/2 Dozen Oysters w/ yuzu kosho mignonette ($32) // 4 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/y7s3fwv8\ Steep pricing aside, the oysters were solid. Properly shucked, clean and mildly briny. * Japanese Hamachi w/ white kimchi, finger lime, preserved Japanese melons ($22) // 3 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/mw3kt6wx Sounded better on paper, there was more gelée than hamachi that was cut too finely. * Hokkaido Uni Toast w/ bouchon brioche, tare ($21) // 5 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/a7ws2883 The buttery crispy soft brioche against the creamy, umami-rich hokkaido uni was sublime. The perfect luxe bite. * Foie Blanc w/ caramelized apple, salted licorice cream, taiyaki ($25) // 3.5 Stars https://tinyurl.com/3s49mp35 The chicken pâté was deliciously rich and velvety smooth but the accompanying taiyaki was like dry, dense cornbread. * Bigeye Tuna & Ora King Salmon Chirashi w/ koshihikari rice, smoked trout roe, nori ($30) // 4.5 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/2ry46upj - Charged regular price vs $15 HH price Solid bura chirashi - the sushi rice was well-seasoned with either black or red vinegar, properly sticky and ever so slightly warm. Scattered on top were colorful cubes of fresh tuna and buttery salmon with salty pops from the trout roe. * Pork Katsu Sando w/ katsu sauce ($19) // 2 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/39wx7cbv - Charged regular price vs $9 HH price The heavy hand of tangy katsu sauce rendered the pork katsu soggy with stale bread that broke apart when biting into. * BBQ Mochi: Hawaiian Butter Mochi w/ Marshall's farm wildflower honey ($5) // 1 Star: https://tinyurl.com/2hf3596d Really wanted the kakigōri (Japanese shaved ice) but they only had matcha flavor and I can't have caffeine late so we went with this. This too was stale...like stale cake with no chewy mochi texture. S E R V I C E Slow start, after waiting 10-15 minutes in a near empty lounge, I had to flag someone to order drinks while two other tables who arrived after us were helped first. Most of the 6-7 staff we interacted with were kind (especially the manager) but we had no assigned server which was confusing. There was one staff with unwelcoming vibes and treated us like an inconvenience. Figured she was having a bad day until I saw how differently she treated the table next to us. Otherwise, prompt drink and food service. A M B I A N C E Cozy, sophisticated indoor dining area with bar but the patio is where it's at with lush greenery, trees, calming water features, and fireplace. Live jazz on Fridays and Saturdays starting at 7 pm. P A R K I N G They have their own private lot in back. Overall, it was a very mixed experience with highs and lows. Nonetheless, if you're looking to ball out in Yountville with caviar and bubbly, RO seems like the place to do it! read more

The food was delicious, good ambiance and staff were very friendly. We had a good time!

Excited about this place but it did not deliver. Ordered the Spicy Tuna roll, espresso martini and paper plane. Disappointment in all three. Spicy Tuna was not spicy and just plain Tekka Maki that you would get at any restaurant - expected to be a bit more unique, interesting or bigger for $21. Both Happy Hour drinks on par with expectations of how the drink should be made but were only half full - didn't make enough drink or glasses are too big. read more

Went to see Matt Doyle at RO. we sat at the bar and started with gin and tonics. For dinner we had the caviar tasting plate - which as always very good. My partner had the steak (absolutely excellent) but I had the tuna rolls. They were extremely disappointing- so little tuna you really couldn't taste it and frankly just tasted the rice. Don't order these. read more

We were in the area going to another place and just finished eating. I saw that this place just opened recently and I wanted to try it out. They have a large patio area with nice seating however at 100 degrees it's not fun to sit outside. We were greeted by the hostess and I told her we wanted to try the place out and asked to sit at the bar. We told them that we just came from lunch. The hostess suggested the Ossetra Caviar Cornet. I did and it was amazing. We really liked it. 25 bucks a piece. The place is really high end. The bartender was great. Very animated and such a salesman. We loved him. I got the Yamasaki 12 year and it was fabulous. So smooth I had to have another. He suggested we get the shaved ice with fresh peaches. I did and was disappointed. It was just ok and the peaches were inside the sauce not in the middle of the shaved ice. Muh. My with got the mochi and it was ok . Chef Hayashi stuff was just ok but we will have to come again and try something else. We enjoyed the vibe of this place. read more

Amazing experience. Relaxed vibe and ambiance. Went on a double date and dined in and sat in couch-like area. Had the black truffle egg sando, caviar bump, Siberia caviar with all the fixings, chirashi bowl, scallops, uni toast, yuzu sake. Everything was delicious. Stand outs for me were the caviar with house made potato chips, uni toast, chirashi bowl. My friends also loved their rib eye bowl and katsu sando. Our server, Hunter was the kindest and helped us learn about the different types of caviar. He is also a sommelier so ask him about wine if you have him as a server. To top off our wonderful evening, they served a delicious refreshing yuzu custard filled cake with fresh fruit on top for my birthday.

Great all around Culinary experience especially if you love champagne and caviar as I do. I made Friday 7:30 PM Resy reservations for two so we could enjoy the live Jazz band during our meal. Upon arrival, we were greeted and seated at a cozy table for 2. The cool vibe of the place is very romantic. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with a beautiful bar area. Katlyn took very good care of us. We ordered The Caviar Tasting, 2 Champagne Tastings, Tuna Tartare, Uni Toast and the Chirashi. All the dishes, caviar and champagne were exceptional. When we were given our bill, we were also presented with 2 Macaroons with a sparkler... nice touch. Two things to take note of here, if you go when there is a live band, it's loud, to the point I couldn't have conversation with my friend without yelling, nor could I hear Katlyn. Plus if it is a factor for you, there is an extra cover charge for the nights a live band is there. In addition, it is quite pricey, so expect to pay $$$$ for the experience. Atmosphere: cool vibe of the place is very romantic. Service: excellent. Food: excellent. read more

I've wanted to dine here for a while and finally got the chance while in town this summer. We specifically made our reservation during happy hour but when we arrived we were told they just changed the happy hour hours so we missed it. That was a huge disappointment because there were multiple items that i wanted to try on that menu. Also, some of the items on their dinner menu weren't even available when i tried to order them? Everything sounded so delicious but sadly most of it ended up pretty underwhelming. The uni toast should have had more uni for how thick the bread was, the charred cabbage was forgettable, and the toro roll was nothing to write home about. My favorite items ended up being the pork katsu sando, the caviar spread, and the strawberry chouquette dessert. I had been excited to try the ice cream topped with caviar but it didn't end up being as flavorful as i expected. The service was pretty good but it was obvious they were in-between menus. Honestly most items were way overpriced, i'm fine with paying more for great food but this just wasn't worth it. If i came back i would definitely stick to just their caviar spread and a few drinks. I think happy hour would've been better for our group so it's too bad they changed the hours a day before we went. read more

Great place for celebrations. We came here during the jazz night and enjoyed the caviar and champagne tasting. We shared the caviar tasting between three of us, and thought it was perfect amount for tasting. Service was great, the knowledge of wine and caviar was impeccable.

We walked into RO without any reservations but they were able to seat us. We came in for a late lunch/early dinner. The place looked very comfortable, classy, and chill. We were seated on the outside which was covered which provided shade. The staff was very attentive especially our server, John. He explained to us about the dishes in detail and they all came out at the right time. Smoked tomato: Refreshing and chilled with sauce. Oysters: I was told was okay, not too special. My friend had it. Watermelon Salad: It was better than I expected, very light and refreshing. The watermelon was from their garden. Chirashi bowl: The fish which was the tuna and salmon was very fresh and the rice was cooked just right with some seasoning of dashi. Truffle Egg Sando: it was good but I did not taste the truffle flavor. Shaved peach Ice: We did not really like it too much. It was a little bland and the flavor was not what we expected. John was very nice in describing to us the dishes and answering the questions that we had. I would definitely go back to this restaurant because they give a dining experience and a good feel when you leave the restaurant. read more

Our second to last night of our Napa Valley vacation found us having an amazing experience at Regiis Ova, where the sommelier recommended a great sparkling wine for us to enjoy throughout the evening with the caviar flight we ordered. The jazz band produced wonderful vibes throughout our experience as we sat on nice leather lounge chairs in front. One of Thomas Keller's restaurants that's in downtown Yountville (we also went to Ad Hoc, Bouchon Bistro, and Bouchon Bakery for reference), Regiis Ova was the right place for us considering we had been doing wine tasting and having heavy meals for most of our stay, and needed something a tad lighter. Doing a caviar flight with a bottle of sparkling wine was the right choice They have a great bar area and offer a nice variety of different items for easy bites to complement the sparkling wine. Their caviar was fantastic. Our server made sure we had everything we needed and was incredibly accommodating. We had a bottle of Blanc de Blanc (but I forgot the winery's name), which was very refreshing and complemented the caviar flight we had such as the Golden Ossetra, the Ossetra, the Siberian, and the Royal varieties. We had a prime table in front of the jazz band performing who were delightful and produced good sounds and vibes while we enjoyed our sparkling wine and caviar. We would come back in a heartbeat. read more
