Wine Spectator Greystone Restaurant - St Helena

The Culinary Institute of America is an impressive building north of St Helena - it is hard to miss.  It makes a good stop for lunch in between wine tastings.

We sat out on the patio as the weather was lovely for early May.  Walk through the restaurant and you can see the open kitchen and the various stations preparing food and desserts.

Crispy Chicken Confit frisée salad, warm bacon vinaigrette, mushrooms, poached egg

The chicken skin on the chicken confit was indeed crispy and melted in your mouth.  Nice contrast to the fresh green salad.  It is the first time I've had chicken confit and I was impressed.  Much lighter tasting than duck confit - perfect for a summery day.

Greystone Bouillabaisse market fish and shellfish, tomato fennel broth, Super‐Premium olive oil aioli  

The seafood in the bouillabaisse was super fresh and done just right.  The broth was tasty and I mopped it all up with the bread. 

We eyed the dessert sampler but we didn't have time to try - maybe the next time.
