I begged my mom to go to Ad Hoc when we went to the Napa valley over Memorial Day weekend. The famous Thomas Keller and all that. I had high expectations for this restaurant. But, I took one bite of the salad and I was already disappointed. It was too bitter and the smoked salmon didn't go well with the... more
