napa is a small cozy town, with loads of dining options. after a lot of research & reading, we decided on celadon - and it was indeed a great choice. made a reservation, but arrived slightly early. so got seated at the bar for a drinks and nibbles.
ordered a few cocktails - and the bartender was pretty much generous with his alcohol quantity ;) of course, is a good thing.orderedthe calamari & mussels for small plates. both were so fresh and so tasty. the calamari sauce was a little on the sweeter side, but the pickled ginger complemented it so well. the mussels were nice too, someone a couple of the mussels seemed uncooked & strange - so just left that aside on the plate.
by this time we were moved to our dinner table outside.orderedthe pasta of the day - which was a pulled beef pasta with mushroom and the the beef jus. not typically italian - but delicious! extraordinary! outstanding!! i could go on about this dish. the meat was so tender, it fell apart with just the touch of the fork, and melted in your mouth. even a person who dislikes pasta, would love this dish.
service was great again. no complains about that.
