Single Thread

Nestled in the heart of California's renowned wine country, Single Thread is an epicurean jewel in Napa Valley that beautifully integrates the subtle elegance of Asian aesthetics with the charming rusticity of Californian farm-to-table culture. The restaurant offers a unique and immersive dining experience which is not only a feast for the palate but also a rejuvenating treat for the senses.

As you step into Single Thread, you are greeted by an ambiance that exudes composed sophistication. The interior is a tasteful blend of minimalist Japanese design and Californian vibrancy. With warm light accents that highlight the restaurant's meticulous attention to details, from the hand-crafted ceramic tableware to the plushly upholstered seating, every element contributes to creating a tranquil and intimate dining space.

Developed by the celebrated husband-and-wife team, chef Kyle and farmer Katina Connaughton, the ten-course tasting menu truly embodies the essence of Single Thread. Each course is meticulously crafted with locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients from the restaurant's own five-acre farm, as well as from nearby local ranches and fisheries.

Some of the standout dishes on the menu include the "Sakizuke" - a visual treat comprising of an arrangement of lightly pickled, raw, and roasted vegetables, elegantly served on a mossy stone slab. The "Hassun" impresses with its delightful combination of sushi bites, and the "Dungeness Crab" with charred cabbage and crab miso tantalizes with its rich blend of flavors.

The offering from the land comes in form of "Sonoma Duck" that is smoked in culinary herbs, while the "Black Cod" with shitake, daikon and citrus is an exquisite seafood dish that showcases the chef's intricate and nuanced culinary style. The dining experience is gloriously wound up with an array of decadent desserts, including a refreshing citrus sorbet and the indulgently creamy "Hoji-cha tea mousse", capturing the full spectrum of sweet sensations.

Accompanying these culinary masterpieces is an impressive selection of local and international wines that can be expertly paired by in-house sommeliers to perfectly complement each dish.

Single Thread offers not just a dining experience, but a journey that takes you through Napa Valley's bountiful landscape while indulging you with culinary concoctions that are a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.
