Main
Street, Napa
Morimoto
is located on the Riverfront development, Napa's most ambitious commercial
project, with a price tag of 72 millions, stretching two blocks along the
river. Morimoto is
the first big-name on the Napa Riverfront development but Tyler Florence's Rotisserie and Wine
is due later this year. Tyler Florence is one of the Food
Network star. I am sure more restaurants will follow Morimoto's
footsteps.....

posing in front of Morimoto restaurant.
After
shopping we arrive at Morimoto around 4:30PM for a round of cocktail but
unfortunately the restaurant is not open until 5:00Pm. We decided to walk
around Main Street to find a place so we can sit down for some refreshment
while waiting for kids. The kids are still at 6 Flags enjoying all the
rides until 5:00Pm.

Restaurants along
Napa’s new Riverfront is quite a surprise because it is a brand new
area. I was told that just a
few years ago all of this was dirt and now it's a
beautiful part of the River Walk, with great views of Napa's river.

At
the end of street we saw this cute Restaurant, Angèle
Restaurant & Bar with a view to the
River.
This is an intimate restaurant perched above the Napa River.
This is such a quaint
restaurant!
We
did not go inside the restaurant, instead we opted to sit in the 75-seat
riverfront terrace. The terrace is inviting, cozy and we got amazing service.
It was too early for Dinner so we had the
place almost to ourselves.
We
are checking out the terrace overlooking the Napa River ...

I
thought this is a nice touch... a bunch of potted olive trees on display!

After
a few hours of shopping we were happy to find this place. It is so nice to
be sitting out in the open air in such a warm and relaxing atmosphere.
We
were so thirsty by the time we sad down so we ordered lots of mineral water and
soda to quench our thirst... Cocktail will follow afterwards.
Hoa
has to work the whole day but he was able to join us around 6:00pm, just in time for dinner.
Next...Morimoto
