All Seasons Café Review

All Seasons successfully balances old-fashioned down-home dining charm with today's penchant for sophisticated, seasonally inspired dishes. It also happens to have perhaps the best food in downtown Calistoga. Vibrant bouquets, large framed watercolors, and windows overlooking busy Lincoln Avenue soften the look of the black-and-white checkered flooring, brick-red ceiling, and long, marble wine bar. The laid-back atmosphere and service make the quality of crispy skin chicken with white truffle jus and seared salmon on a bed of savory green lentils with brown butter pecan sauce that much more of a delicious surprise. Don't forget to take advantage of the fact that they have 400-plus wines available from their adjoining wine shop (with a $15 corkage fee, buy next door and drink for far cheaper than at most restaurants). Alas, the kitchen was a wee bit slow on my last visit, but all was forgiven when the food far surpassed my expectations.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
