"By far, one of the most amazing culinary experiences I have had with my wife and in my life, PRESS is this incredible restaurant that has a Michelin star; per my knowledge, the first time I have gone to a restaurant that has earned one. This is one of the only restaurants that we have dined whose menu is completely gluten-free, which my wife loved. Additionally, they have an amazing wine list, which we selected and enjoyed this incredible bottle of wine, whose name leaves me, but it was magical. Given that we were celebrating our Irish Wedding Anniversary and our respective birthdays, the staff gave us this really sweet greeting card that was signed by all of them. Very cool. Each of the staff with whom we interacted was kind and warm and made us feel at home. We had come from touring wineries in nearby Calistoga and had coordinated dining at PRESS before we returned to our hotel for the day. The décor comprised high ceilings, industrial-styled windows that ran all around the bar and dining areas, and booth long-booth table seating and cushy yet fashionable gray-colored chairs at other tables. The courses we were served were synergy at synchronicity. Between the cuisine, the cocktails, the service, and the company, of course, with my darling wife, this experience was magical on a unicorn/Pegasus level. The Ricotta gnudi; very magical that was a flavor explosion with an incredibly artistic display. In fact, all of the dishes they served us were beautifully crafted and tasted otherworldly. The truffle glazed chicken with summer truffle, garden beets, smoked bacon, and sauce vin jaune was so savory and delicious. The 35-day New York strip had such a wonderful character that complimented well with the morel Mushrooms. For our after-dinner experience, we feasted on Jivaro chocolate crème, which was served with orange cocoa crumble, olive oil sorbet, chocolate sponge, and Custelmagro custard. Both those dishes were incredible, and the espresso martini we enjoyed concluded a culinary synergy we enjoyed throughout our experience at PRESS. It was a wonderful way to bring in another year as husband and wife."
