Older children who eat widely and can sit through a long meal are welcome and are usually served the full menu at full price, with substitutions made where needed.
High chairs and infant seating are not typically part of the dining-room set-up, and the room's quiet works against very young guests.
The family-style room and the bistro are both genuinely good with children: shorter meals, familiar dishes, and a livelier acoustic that absorbs noise.
The bakery and the seasonal boxed-lunch window turn lunch into a picnic, which is the easiest family meal in Yountville.
