🌟 Cyrus in Napa | A One-Star Michelin Feast for the Senses
📍 Cyrus 275 CA-128, Geyserville, CA 95441 Tucked away in a Sonoma vineyard, Cyrus is set on the grounds of a former plum drying facility. Now transformed, the space feels like a stage for a culinary theater — every moment is thoughtfully choreographed with rhythm, light, and storytelling. The dinner unfolds in four acts, guiding you through space and flavor like a beautifully directed performance. 🥂 Act 1: Bubbles Lounge 🧡 Soup Bill Bi Instead of a classic amuse-bouche, you’re welcomed with a warm seafood bisque. Slightly salty, it pairs wonderfully with champagne — an intriguing start! 🍽️ Act 2: Kitchen Table – The Overture of Five Tastes Seated at the open kitchen, you watch the chefs present the five foundational tastes: 🧡 Appetizer: Sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami — each small bite bursts with clarity and personality. 🧡 Matsutake, Lady Edison Ham, Negi The earthy matsutake and savory ham echo the comforting flavors of a Chinese yān dǔ xiān soup. 🧡 A5 Wagyu, Yuzu Kosho / Grilled Maine Lobster, Seaweed Butter Premium ingredients, beautifully prepared. The serving style makes you feel like you’re tasting right beside the chef in the kitchen. 🍷 Act 3: Dining Room – The Flavor Journey 🧡 Turbot, Kohlrabi, Huet Cider Tender turbot with a bright, acidic cider sauce — light yet deeply layered. 🧡 Duck, Concord Cherry, Yuzu Ginger Dashi A signature dish: pink duck breast with tangy cherry sauce — simply dreamy. Smooth duck liver mousse wrapped in berry jelly — one unforgettable bite. 🧡 Money Muscle, Miso Creamed Chard, Potato Risotto The most tender cut of pork shoulder, served with miso creamed chard and potato risotto — like a Western take on mei cai kou rou. 🧡 Mignardises A final array of petit fours revisiting the five tastes — a thoughtful callback to the opening act. 🍫 Act 4: Chocolate Room Owner Nick leads you into the Chocolate Room for the grand finale. You’re given a chocolate coin engraved with “Cyrus” to make a wish 🪙✨ — and a sweet take-home gift. 🍸 Mocktail Pairing A true highlight! Each alcohol-free drink is inspired by natural flavors and thoughtfully complements the dishes. #CyrusNapa #MichelinDining #CulinaryTheater #FiveTastes #WineCountryEats
