In Yountville, the only place that serves a full, sit-down breakfast is Pacific Blues Cafe. Hurley's does Sunday brunch, as well as Redd, as pointed out earlier.

In St. Helena, Gillwoods Cafe on Main St. is VERY popular, and about the only place in town for a full, sit-down breakfast.

Most people seem to opt for something from the artisan bakeries in either town (Bouchon in Yountville, and The Model Bakery in St. Helena), as opposed to a full breakfast.

For dinner, I think Hurley's would meet your criteria in Yountville, as well as Bistro Jeanty. Brix and Mustard's Grill are out on Hwy 29 just north of Yountville, and are both very popular. Brix gets knocked as being a place for the tourist crowd, but I just ate there on Thursday night, and it was quite good.

In St. Helena, there's Market, Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen, or Cook that should fit what you're looking for.

4 miles south of Yountville is Bistro Don Giovanni, which serves up regional Italian fare and is very, very popular.

Hope these help!

For breakfast I recomend the Sunday Brunch at Tra Vigne. The Bombolinos are great. Diner is great as well. If you cab get in Terra in St. Helena is wonderful. I used to work at Go Fish and still eat there, but I have a Hard Time getting past Ken's sushi
