"R&D Kitchen – Yountville This is always a repeat stop for us whenever we’re in Yountville. The menu has a great selection and you really can’t go wrong with anything you order. We made a reservation for 11:45am and had no issues at all—we were seated right away at our table. Our server was amazing and took great care of us. We started with the deviled eggs for an appetizer, and they definitely did not disappoint. Erik ordered the Ahi Tuna Sandwich, and it was cooked perfectly. He prefers it a little less rare, so he asked for it to be cooked slightly longer and they nailed it. I had the Classic Chinese Chicken Salad, which was absolutely delicious and always a favorite. Our friends ordered the Little Mo, and after seeing it come out, I already know that’s what I’m ordering next time! The restaurant has a beautiful outdoor seating area, and inside there are classic booths for most diners, which makes conversations feel more private and relaxed. Highly recommended if you’re in Yountville. Great food, great service, and a consistently wonderful experience."
