Here's How Napa Valley Restaurants Stacked Up On The Delight Scale Of This Top 100 List

NAPA VALLEY, CA — Two Napa Valley restaurants ranked among the list of the top 100 nationwide that “delight their communities and make them better.”

Resy, an online restaurant reservation service for roughly 10,000 restaurants, said the debut “Resy 100” is a “curation of restaurants that thrill us, that serve exceptional food that alternately might be comforting or daring, traditional or completely new."

A Glen Ellen star ranked high on the list as did one in Yountville.

While long-time favorites like Chez Panisse made it to the list, there area also surprises.

“These are places that make us want to return again and again, and define the best of our dining culture today,” the company, which represents some 10,000 eateries nationwide, said with the release of the rankings.

“... They don’t have to be new,” the company said of the 100 restaurants on the list. “They don’t have to have a famous chef at the helm. They could be absolutely anywhere — as we’ve learned, a great meal can find you where you least expect it, whether you’ve traversed the country or just headed down the block. They are, simply, excellent and cherished. They delight their communities and make them better.”
