The Lounge
Located in Yountville, California, RO Restaurant & Lounge is a new destination from Chef Thomas Keller and Chef de Cuisine Jeffery Hayashi offering Asian-inspired cuisine with a California twist, combining refined simplicity and seasonality through local ingredients of the highest quality.

About the space
Consulting with AD100 designer and fellow Northern California native, Ken Fulk, Chef Thomas Keller’s team designed the space with a curated assortment of RH furnishings, conceived as a romantic feast for the senses, where exquisite dishes are presented in a lush garden setting or within a series of elegant lounge spaces enveloped in a palette of deep sea greens, rich organic textures and luxe sink-in seating. The vision is brought to life with select collections from RH Interiors, RH Modern and RH Outdoor in a range of fine materials – from Italian artisan leather, Libeco Belgian linen and handwoven seagrass to Grey Marquina marble, hand-forged iron and premium sustainable teak.

Cuisine
A new lounge evolution unfolds through a playful selection of dishes drawing from Asian culinary influences. Led by Chef de Cuisine Jeffery Hayashi, the menu has been designed to encourage a hands-on social experience, featuring sharable plates and bowls meant to be passed from hand to hand. Menu highlights include Hokkaido Uni Toast, Artichoke Custard, Wolfe Ranch BBQ Quail and Shave Ice for dessert.

Champagne & Wine
The beverage program is curated by Director of Beverage for Chef Keller’s casual and fine dining restaurants, Michel Couvreux and Andrew Adelson, Head Sommelier at The French Laundry. The list spotlights bubbles through a variety of prestige offerings from Dom Pérignon, Krug and Ruinart champagnes, as well as wines from select California and European vintners. The new cocktail menu includes a playful interpretation of Chef Keller’s signature “Oysters and Pearls.” Three grams of Royal Caviar are served with butter washed Beluga vodka and roasted oyster shell infused Chazalettes dry vermouth to make this playful interpretation.
