Terra
Chef-owner Hiro Sone has been impressing diners since 1988 with a flavorful blend of French, Asian and northern California cuisine, served in an intimate setting. Just one block off the main drag in the enchanting town of St. Helena, Calif., Terra occupies a charming fieldstone building that looks as if it belongs in an old European village. Inside you will find the decor rustically finished with vintage red-tiled floors, exposed stone walls, wood-beamed ceilings and country floral arrangements.
To go along with its Tuscan fieldstone façade, Terra’s menu features unique dishes infused with French and Italian flavors, and this Four-Star restaurant is one of the best in the region. And with its reliance on local ingredients, the menu at Terra changes with the leaves. Seasonal signature dishes include red wine-braised veal cheeks, lobster tortellini and stone fruit tarte tatin. With a stellar wine list to go along with the flavorful food, a meal at Terra is a Napa Valley culinary extravaganza.
