Zuzu

Downtown Napa has absolutely exploded over the last few years, and Zuzu is one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Whether you dine indoors or out, this is one of the liveliest scenes along the waterfront, especially if you score one of the ledge seats out front. Tapas are the main event here, and it’s hard to leave without ordering a lot of them. Even if you’re not an anchovy fan, start with the boquerones, before adding honey-drizzled tempura eggplant, flounder ceviche, and a paella. There’s a long list of wines by the glass along with sangria, which makes up for the absence of cocktails.
