R+D Kitchen

Wow!!!

One of the top meals for me this year.

Service is amazing and food was so tasty.

1. Plenty of parking in the lot. It's Yountville, easy to walk to!
2. Plenty of outdoor seating. Pet friendly. Note full menu at outside bar. Partial menu away from bar, apps and sandwiches.
3. Sat outside away from bar and plenty of options to choose from.
4. Service was amazing. So friendly and helpful. Positive attitude.
5. All the food was very tasty, high quality.

Starter salad. I was concerned when it had chicken, but it was small pieces and tasted great. Bonus was the delicious croutons that were large and chewy. Ingredients were so fresh.

The burger was so juicy! The Cole slaw on it made it. I would get this again.
The fries were hot. Crispy. Light. Tasty. So good.
The deviled eggs also had a good consistency, light, flavorful.

What a great lunch! Perfect weather!

On my list for my next visit!

Very disappointed
We are regulars at Hillstone SF, the Los Altos Grill as well as Gulfstream sister restaurants to K&D Kitchen. These 3 sisters have always been spot-on in every regard. So; where did K&D fall short?
On arrival we settle at an outdoor high top for 3. As a party of 4, 3 of us took the seats at the table. No other people were seated outside were seated so I grabbed a stool from an empty table. Literally within a minute or 2 the hostess scrambled out to chastise me. "These are tables for 3 sir" we were then escorted inside to her stand. We were 15 minutes early for our lunch reservation. She seated us in a comfortable waiting area. A server came over for our drink order. The ladies order Prosecco: server, " sorry we don't carry Prosecco." Ladies then ordered Bloody Mary's; server, "sorry we don't make Bloody Mary's on weekdays." Really! I'm the DD so 3 of us then ordered ice tea; you guessed it; server 'we don't have iced tea as you might know it. We serve a blend of iced tea and peach ______ '. So we gave up and order the iced tea with peach something.
It doesn't end there. We were escorted to our table. I'm going to cut this a little short now as the theme remains constant throughout our experience. I ordered the prime rib sandwich and a Macho Salad. Server, "we don't have the Macho Salad at the restaurant." Then--- sandwich came; Where's the Au Juice you say; server, "we don't serve this with Au Juice." Really! I've had this sandwich at Hillstone & Los Altos Grill literally over 100 times. Always with Au Juice. Okay; I'll have the Horse Radish; Server, "It comes with creamy Horse Radish." I'll have the Horse Radish, not creamy. Server, "we only serve the creamy sir." The sandwich came cut into 3 narrow pieces. Cute; but, very difficult to eat as the contents squeezed out with every bite.
My wife and I were so looking forward to another brilliant Huston's restaurant experience while in the Napa Valley. To say the least the K&D experience fell short and became comedic as we were told over and over 'we don't ...'

It's been a couple years since I'd visited R+D kitchen and I was nervous it wouldn't live up to my incredible memory of it... but I didn't need to worry because the food was exceptional as always!

Our table had the:

Osaka style pressed sushi: 5/5 this was probably the single best item at our table although everything was great

Tuna burger: 4/5 very very tasty. Bonus points for it coming deconstructed so I didn't have to unlatch my jaw to take a bite

Ruby star salad: 4/5 salmon was delicious, coleslaw felt a little heavy for a salad.

Honor burger: 4/5 very tasty but coleslaw was a little distracting

The little mo: 5/5 "it was very good" from my not very verbose friend

R+d is a little old school with its jazz music and dress code but service was excellent (thank you Sarah!).

Plan to return and order more sushi :)

Solid restaurant in the heart of Napa Valley wine country.

While R+D is known for its elevated experience, it will not necessarily scare you away with its formal setting. Price point wise it is very competitive, even with some stiff competition nearby. Food is absolutely amazing here, and there is no skimping on portions. I usually always go for the deviled eggs starters followed by one of their delicious salads and or sandwiches. When it comes to ambiance, they have it down with some great outdoor seating or indoor fine-esque dining. I find it sort of difficult to really pick out any negative aspects, maybe parking if it's quite busy since it's a small area with a large tourist influx during the warmer parts of the year. Other than that, always a solid choice for anyone in the area visiting looking for some great food.

Dined in and have ordered to-go here many times. Everything's always good! Service is good. Property is gorgeous, classy, and chic. They also have a patio and outdoor bar, fire pits w/ seating.

They have something for everyone here. Salads, sandwiches, burgers, sushi, meatballs, good carrot cake. Love getting their pizzas, salad, and sushi to go. The sushi isn't authentic but I love it so much!

Additionally love:
steak noodle salad, macadamia nut sushi roll, mushroom corn pizza, The Newporter salad, the burger, the fries! The meatballs with polenta were good too.

Prices aren't bad for Napa, considering the quality of taste and ambiance! Some things I do feel are a bit overpriced for the size but hey, that's just Napa prices.

TLDR: Good overall, they have something for everyone, beautiful spot. I always love coming here. Would go back and would recommend.

I can't believe that I've never reviewed this spot!!

I don't get to Yountville too often but this spot is always in my plan when I do. The menu is broad but offers such delicious bites that it can please a crowd.

I actually really love the creative sushi rolls, I get at least one every time. Not the traditional flavors you see literally everywhere else so it's a refreshing option.

Their kale salad is another dish I get almost every time. The peanut dressing is everything I want it to be and more. This last trip we got it with the sashimi and while it was delicious, I would probably just get the salad without the fish next time so I get more salad! Lol

Fried chicken sandwiches I think were what originally brought me out here but I keep coming back because the food is consistently delicious. Great corner location, parking lot can be tricky but street parking nearby is accessible.

Normally very enjoyable but an Ahi special just ruined the meal for me. It was basically chopped and made into a crabcake and wasn't described as such by the server - really why can't places print the specials and avoid this?

Wow. What happened ? The famous Hillstone brand took a hit tonight at R&D. One of my favorite spots was a big let down tonight. I can't really explain it because it's such a great location and with super management it should have been A1. Wasn't. What was right? Good friendly knowledgeable servers. Lovely interior. New updated menu with interesting choices. Not so good-- poor execution. We had a kale salad with basically no kale. We had another kale salad with sashimi way over dressed. We had a filet basically charred to death. Returned and the new one came after everyone had eaten. ( shouldn't we have gotten the next one off the grill? ) two refill glasses of wine ordered and not delivered for 20 minutes. A prime rib sandwich with no dipping sauce ( "our Rutherford location had the "dip" we don't do it. A French dip with no dip...) I'd like to think this was a bad night but I don't think so. Something is way off.

Food: One of the best burgers in the Bay Area! Especially if you are craving a delicious vegetarian burger, this is the perfect place for you. I appreciate the use of fresh buns and veggies in their burgers. Don't forget to order their French fries as well.

The service is top-notch - they go above and beyond to ensure that you have a great time.

I haven't dined indoors, but the outdoor seating is also quite pleasant. If you have kids, be sure to check out the fish pool and feed the fish.he fish pool and feed the fish.

Got seated outside right away. They only allow 3 people per table so we had 3 tables. It's a super cute spot to have a quick little lunch before heading out in our way.

The dip duo was so good and tastes really fresh, the sandwich was delicious and cut into 3 so we could share, and the fries were crispy with tasty dipping sauces.
