Ad Hoc in Yountville

Address: Calistoga, CA, 94515, US

Thomas Keller's most casual restaurant, serving family-style American meals under the blue awning on Washington Street.

About the Restaurant

Ad Hoc is the most casual of Thomas Keller's Yountville restaurants: a wood-paneled room behind a blue awning where dishes come to the table to share.

The Michelin Guide, which lists Ad Hoc as a recommended restaurant, points to vegetable-forward salads, French onion dip with kettle chips and buttermilk fried chicken, a longtime house signature.

Next door, Addendum runs a seasonal take-out window; it was closed for the season in late 2026.

Getting There With a Chauffeur

Ad Hoc suits groups that want a relaxed, shared meal after a day of tastings. Check the day of the week before planning, since it is closed Tuesday and Wednesday, and book ahead to skip the walk-in wait.
