I heard great things and the décor and ambience were lovely. But from the start, the food was underwhelming and it only got worse from there. We ordered the chef's specialty, the dry aged steak. At $110 for a 14 oz NY strip, we expected it to be exceptional. From the first bite, it was obvious something was wrong with the meat. I love dry aged meat and initially thought it was simply aged too long but realized on the second bite the meat was not just funky, it was spoiled. When we returned the steaks and insisted they be taken off the $1200 bill (there were 5 in our party) the acting manager Mike Lee rudely stomped off after making sure we were not taking the leftover steak home. We are in the midst of recovering physically and emotionally from a painful experience.Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere

The setting was a bit noisy and busy, but the servers were very attentive. We did the food and wine pairing tasting menu, and each pairing was fantastic. The restaurant was kind enough to mail us a signed copy of the menu, by the chef, from the night we were there.

toque tonight. The food was underwhelming from the start. But then we ordered the dry aged NY strip as the main entre and there was something very wrong. A bad taste. We complained and they grudgingly took one steak off the bill when we had ordered 3. When I insisted they take all the steaks off the bill they became rude. Even though they eventually took the steaks off the bill they never apologized for what was actually a ruined meal. All of us are feeling sick to our stomach. This is not fine dining. A huge disappointment.

Had to wait for table even though reserved, had to go ask for proper silverware, wine was lukewarm. Food for good, but the overall experience was disappointing, especially given the price point.

We dined on a Saturday evening. There were 4 of us who did the tasting menu, of which 2 also enjoyed wine pairing. Every dish was beyond creative, beautifully plated and a symphony of fine flavors. The wine pairings were spot on, complimenting our food to perfection. The service was outstanding; informative and professional, yet friendly, not stuffy. We honestly could not have had a better experience. Outstanding evening of food and wine in a lovely atmosphere. We highly recommend LaToque and will be back!

Exquisite food and delightful service - what a meal! Every bite of our Chef’s Tasting Menu and Wine Pairing was remarkable. This is culinary art at its finest. While not as well known, La Toque is on a par with French Laundry. Chef Ken Frank has thoughtfully created dishes that blew our minds. We ordered both the regular and vegetarian tasting menus and the chef was able to accommodate my vegan preferences in every dish. We ordered cocktails before the meal - a fun and delicious array. Our servers were friendly and engaging and really knowledgeable about each dish. Maria was exceptional in her attention to our every need and sommelier Mike answered our questions and helped us to appreciate each of the wines he poured for us. I can’t say enough about our experience at La Toque. If you love the art of food, you must dine here!

In full transparency, we are La Toque fans - it's one of our go-tos for a special night.First, I want to say that the service was impeccable. Our waiter was attentive without being over-bearing, was pleasant with just the right amount of chit chat. What a difference professional wait staff make!The 1st amuse bouche was a lovely tartar and cheese puff, both truffled. Definitely warmed up the palette. A second AB was a cheese custard topped with truffled creme fraise. It did what it was supposed to: left us wanting more!Next was sour dough bread with truffle butter. We thought it nice but unremarkable until they brought the next course, a double reduced chicken consume with truffle, mushroom and meat medallions. The waiter instructed us to remove the puff pastry on top and to eat it with the bread. On it's own the soup was delicious, but when you dipped the bread and truffle butter in, it was an explosion of umami! The combination blew us away - a master chef pairing of flavors.Next came the salmon, stuffed with a truffle ribbon, sous vide, over a cabbage and vegetable medley. It may have been the best salmon I've ever had: moist, tender, flavorful, and the vegetable complimenting and adding depth.Next came the agnolotti. Not the high point. The pasta was too thick and tough (my partner's was thinner and more tender), the sauce was over-salted and over-powering. My partner enjoyed it more, but I found it too abrupt.Then came the entree. My partner got the veal, I got the 4-ounce wagyu. My partner found the beef oddly flavorless, but then added the truffle butter and said it absolutely came alive. Not sure if that was the chef's intent - would have been nice to have been told if it was. The wagyu was so marbled and fatty, I ate less than half and gave it to my partner. It wasn't sous vide long enough to render any of the fat, and my partner, who prefers fatty over lean, said it was too much for him. The sauce was... unremarkable. The best thing on the entre plate was the cauliflower.The cheese course included a mild, creamy goat with truffle butter and grilled sour dough. My partner summarized it nicely: this is like the best grilled cheese sandwich I' e ever had. And it was.Finally came dessert: a choux pastry filled with the best chantilly and an apple compote with salt caramel. The joys of a good pastry chef, it brought the mean to a perfect close.A note on the wine: I did the pairing. The consume came with a French Champaign. Up front, I thought it an odd pairing, but the acidity of the Champaign was the perfect foil for the richness of the dish. The salmon came with a Chardonnay - a serviceable pairing. The agnolotti pairing took one sip to know it was a mismatch. I left the glass. The Cabernet was the highlight of the night, a surprise Sonoma hit. Would that the wagyu was equal to the wine. The cheese course was also a miss on the wine pairing (stopped after a sip), but the dulce was a good complement to the pastry.I've never given La Toque less than 5 stars, and don't get me wrong, it was an exceptional meal. But it had some misses, and heretofore, La Toque had never had a miss.

Ended up trying La Toque for a friends 30th birthday and it was quite the experience. This restaurant is located in the Westin and if you are looking for a fine dining experience in Napa this is a good choice for you. We ended up doing the chefs tasting menu and got to try:* amouse bouche - Parmesan creme fraiche dish, this was a light airy cheesy dish that we started off with which was delicious and unique * amouse bouche - fried scallop - this was lightly breaded and crispy and had lots of flavor when it hit the mouth * crispy potato with creme fraiche and caviar - this was my first time trying caviar and if I'm being honest I wasn't blown away. The flavor is unique though and the crispy crunchy texture with the caviar went well together* lobster soup - this was refreshing and delicious, there was big chunks of lobster in it and came with fresh veggies*halibut with potato scale - this was delicious and fresh, but I loves the crispy potato skin on top which added a nice flavor along with the sauce* duck confit and breast ravioli - this came with 3 pieces with some crispy veggies, the boyfriend got it with the truffles which I tried but wasn't particularly a fan of the truffle flavor* roasted eye of beef rib - this was very yummy and came with potatoes and spinach - everything was well prepared and the boy liked this a lot*wagyu beef with veggies - the boy got this dish and I actually really liked it - the vegetables were all unique and flavorful while wagyu was a rich flavor with every bite. * raclette - this was an okay dish but was a boiled potato with cheese on top with a side of pickles - a little too heavy for me * hazelnut crunch layer cake with ice cream - this dessert was delicious and flavorful, it reminded me of a ferrero rocher actually and was yummyOnce we were done they gave us brownie bites and a dessert box to take home along with the menu which was really nice!Overall, it was a fun experience doing the tasting, the supplements do add up though but worth it for the experience!

Spectacular tasting meal. I opted for the vegetarian tasting, while my wife went with the standard tastings. The food was exceptional and we were definitely full at the end of the meal. They have a sommelier on site, who did a spectacular job pairing our food with wines. The staff did a great job of engaging, but not lingering and there was always someone around to fill water, replace napkins and take plates. Incredible experience and would definitely recommend.
