Napa Valley Grille in Westwood is ready to assist you for Thanksgiving!
Just remember the 3 Ps:
Pre-order, Pick up & Pretend!
Seriously the food is delicious and everything is homemade from the exquisite sourdough bread to the olive tapanade. Don’t miss out on simply grilled fish like a whole branzino and Prime London Sirloin but save room to tempt yourself with rainbow carrots and out of this world apple tarte tartin. Menus are printed daily and the food is seasonal. Feel good about your choices as this fourteen year old restaurant supports your health and local growers with CSA (Community Sponsored Agriculture). If you are wondering where to go for Thanksgiving or where to supplement your dinner, this is the place!
Personally I cannot wait to go back for Late Night Happy Hour with the incredible kale chopped salad with Lemon-Parmesan Vinaigrette (recipe below), Chorizo Mac & Cheese, Turkey Meatballs and Stuffed Peppers! See you in Westwood!

2 T Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Blended Oil
1 T Parmesan Cheese, granulated
1 small clove Garlic, minced
1 T Shallots, minced
1 T Basil, minced

Combine all ingredients except oil and whisk until well mixed. Slowly drizzle in blended oil while whisking to emulsify. Season to taste with salt and fresh ground pepper.

2 oz shredded romaine
1 T fresh grated parmesan
1 oz golden raisins (soaked in simple syrup or rum and orange juice)

In a non reactive bowl combine kale, romaine, raisins, quinoa, and almonds. Season with salt and fresh black pepper. Incorporate dressing and toss. Place onto a cold salad plate and garnish with fresh grated parmesan.
(Optional: Chef Taylor likes to fresh seasonal fruit as well for an additional pop of flavor and color, like diced apricot, pomegranate, or pear.)
