The most recent location, 1111-05 Uptown Park Blvd., is a 3,600 foot store designed by architect Michael Hsu to evoke a modern Napa Valley farmhouse. Northern California's aesthetics influence design, including weathered wood, white robes, gingham, and signature sky blue pops for restaurants. The courtyard has 80 seats and an additional 30 seats.
