The Restaurant's exceptional wine list allows for wine pairings that truly complement the menu. Chef Christopher Kostow employs well-grounded, classic techniques to the ingredients, but it is the ingredients that give Napa Valley cuisine its character. Whereas a winemaker looks for ripeness in the vineyard in order to express the sense of place, Chef Kostow looks for foods that are expressions of the place and exhibit a sense of balance both in each dish and in it's relationship to wine. With a wine list of 950 wines, Meadowood sommelier Rom Toulon finds it intriguing to pair wines which heighten the flavor of the food.

The menu for The Restaurant has been designed to showcase Napa Valley wines through Napa Valley cuisine, which is based on the innate goodness of regional ingredients. The dishes are flavorful, fresh and healthy, offering intensity of flavor without heaviness. The menu offers prix fixe and a la carte selections and wine pairings are available for each course. The Restaurant also offers a nightly seven-course Chef's Menu along with artisan cheeses and desserts.
