Vintage House (Yountville, CA)

Rating 8.8 / 10

Excellent

The kitchen delivers these fries in a pristine white bowl stacked atop a matching white plate—a monochrome minimalist presentation worthy of a luxury resort. Each fry wears a subtle, dusty-red coat of smoked paprika that hints at the gentle heat to come. The initial crunch is uniform and satisfying, immediately followed by a smoky creep of spice that lingers just long enough to make you reach for your cocktail.
