Thanks to a friend Jane, Ad Hoc was at the top of my list of must try’s (of course, right behind French Laundry) and I was thrilled to experience Thomas Keller’s more relaxed YET delicious other Yountville restaurant.  I’m a huge fan of both Bouchon Bistro and Bouchon Bakery so knew I’d love Ad Hoc!

I’ve been to Ad Hoc twice. My first visit was on a Sunday night and the set menu was Steak, Salad, Cheese Plate and Ice Cream Sundays.  I highly recommend visiting and enjoying their Sunday night supper. Everything was so delicious that I returned to Ad Hoc for their well-known Addendum Picnic lunch. What’s more fitting than a delicious picnic lunch in between wine tastings for a birthday celebration. As a huge foodie and wine lover this was heaven for me!  I enjoyed their tasty Fried Chicken, delicious cole slaw and other great picnic treats! 6476 Washington St. Yountville, CA. 94599. 707-944-2487.
