Family-style dining — Yountville
Ad Hoc began as a temporary restaurant and stayed. It serves one four-course, family-style menu each night — whatever the kitchen decided that day — passed around the table in platters. It is the least formal Keller restaurant and, for many regulars, the most enjoyable.

There is a single menu each evening: four courses, served family-style, published the same day. Dietary requirements are handled if flagged in advance, but there is no choosing between dishes.
The buttermilk fried chicken is the dish people plan around. It appears on a rotating schedule rather than nightly, and the restaurant posts the date ahead of time.
In warmer months the Addendum window behind the restaurant sells boxed lunches — fried chicken, pulled pork, sides — to eat at picnic tables in the garden. It is the cheapest Keller meal there is and requires no reservation.
