I had late lunch at Celadon Restaurant located in the same complex, the historic Napa Mill that’s adjacent to the Napa River Inn.
The minute I entered their restaurant I told myself, ooohhh I like this place.
The restaurant is in a converted mill. The high ceiling makes the room feel bigger and spacious.
The brick fireplace serves as the centerpiece and it exudes a homey feel without taking away the elegant ambiance of the restaurant.
The earthy-green sage color motif blended with bricks and natural wood sets off a relaxing atmosphere. Sage is the color of the year 2018 and represents peace and ecological abundance.
I had no intention to have a full meal. I just wanted to have an appetizer and a salad.
View of the plants outside from my spot and surprisingly my hotel room was right there. That one. I knew because I opened the blinds to let natural light in.
I felt so good sitting right beside the fireplace. The curling and swaying of the gentle fire gave me warmth. I couldn’t explain it but for a few seconds, I felt a sudden whiff of melancholy.
I tried my best to enjoy the food.
I have yet to find the perfect crab cake. Even when I was dining in an iconic restaurant in D.C. which claimed to have the best crab cake, I wasn’t wowed by it. After a few bites, nakakasawa. Celadon’s crab cake was okay but it was not what I was hoping to taste like.
Oh My Buhay having a little rest and relaxation in Napa Valley.
