Michi Japanese Cuisine
Worth the trip?
Worth considering.
Best for locals or as part of a Napa itinerary.
Our Take
A low-key Napa sushi option that is especially valuable when you want excellent Japanese food without another polished Wine Country dining room. It is more about the fish and the order than the scene, which is part of the appeal.
The reopening story gives the restaurant local continuity rather than making it simply another new concept.
