Fremont Diner
It has a wonderful 50's diner feel, with authentic southern flare. I love the biscuit and ham sandwiches. They have a great brunch, too -- the french toast is absolutely fantastic.
Franciscan Estate
Franciscan Estate, with a friendly and well-versed staff, offers interactive explorations of the winery.
Auberge de Soleil
Right at dusk, as the sun is setting, I like to drive up (about 20 minutes by car) and sit on the patio or at the bar and order champagne with a few bites from the kitchen. The view is absolutely unparalleled and is a great way to end a busy day or begin an evening.
I would stay at: Calistoga Ranch
I'd recommend staying at Calistoga Ranch.
