13 Best American Restaurants in Calistoga

“Food was great! Halibut and carrot puree was the star of the night. Table layout is a little bit close to each other. Could everything the next table whispered. Sour cream cheese cake was perfect to end the night with. Very light and not heavy like a traditional cheese cake. Out door seating was cute. The environment was warm and inviting. Live acoustic music from the neighboring restaurant was a wonderful added touch.“

“We have been to Michelin restaurants around the world and this is amongst the best two we have ever been to. We got engaged earlier today and wanted to celebrate our engagement here and the choice will never be regretted. Thank you to chef Rogelio and also our server Jourdan to help make this this day once in a lifetime. Of course the service was great but the food and ambiance is second to none globallyLast but not least, #1 bread in the world including the finest bakeries in Japan and Paris, not even close (with their goat cheese butter)“

“I am surprised about how good this place is. I can see how much efforts and details that the chef put into the food preparation. I can see how staff are trained and selected. Environment is without a doubt very nice and upscale. The only minor thing I noticed is that the wait staff didn't tell me it cost extra to refill your coffee. In general...Love it.“

“An authentic experience in Calistoga! We stayed two nights and ate there twice as the breakfasts were so delicious:) I don't eat eggs but found an amazing alternative - bagel with creamy cheese, lax and avocado. Hope to visit them again:)“

“We were hoping to try the Four's Season Napa Valley other restaurant, but they were booked out months. So, we tried TRUSS instead - very laid back, beautiful views of the mountains. Short rib was very rich, burger was juicy, truffle fries yummy. Very typical hotel food options - something for everyone - pasta, pizza, fish, chicken. When you arrive you must valet. When we left it took some time for us to get our car - they looked shorthanded at the valet, taking away from the overall experience.“

“Dee-lish! I was on my way home from work and fresh out of dinner ideas. I popped into Local Q 707 and was not disappointed. I had a tri tip sandwich, which was fabulous! The sauce was not too spicy (I am wimpy when it comes to that stuff), and the meat was super tender. Shoestring fries - if I had my druthers, I would prefer steak fries. The roll was perfect - not too hard or mushy. I wonder if they can toast or grill the inside of the bread. The counter kid (young and blond) was very sweet! Next time, I will get a family dinner“

“Lovely lunch spot in the heart of Calistoga, the staff are really friendly and we got a good table inside with a view looking out on the street. We ordered 2 wraps and they were really tasty, especially the chicken Caesar one. We also ordered a southwest chicken wrap which was a little too spicy for our liking and we didn't realise it would taste this way. Otherwise it is a lovely spot for lunch and I would still return.“

“We stopped into the Hydro Bar & Grill to have a break from the day. We were greeted immediately and sat outside with our dog. The staff was excellent and provided our dog with water while we waited. The food was literally off the charts - the PIZZA - AMAZING! Salads were a refreshing taste to the 80+ degree weather. The streets were so peaceful, the ambiance was refreshing. Definitely coming back here next time we are in town, highly recommend!“

“New favorite reasonably priced restaurant for a family dinner in Calistoga. The mini corn dogs were freshly made to order. The pork schnitzel was delicious. The nachos were impressive. Mainly locals. Sports bar vibe but elevated food. Friendly “

“This is a nice spot on Lincoln Ave. It's definitely on the higher end, but most of the restaurants in town are. The ambiance was pleasant - classy but comfortable. I really liked all the classic pictures of Calistoga that they had on the walls. The menu has a little bit of everything - seafood, pasta, steak, chicken. I had the chicken abruzzi. The sauce was very good. I was excited for the accompanying polenta, but the kitchen mistakenly thought polenta was not gluten free and gave me mashed potatoes instead. I didn't want to waste anything, so I just accepted the potatoes, but I was bummed. The waitstaff was apologetic and offered to give me a side, but I declined. My husband had the paella and loved it. Good amount of spice and lots of meat and seafood. The sausage was a little tough, but it didn't detract from the dish. We also shared the lemon pie with berry compote and it was tasty. Also, side note - the bread and butter they offer the table while you're waiting was dry and flavorless, according to my husband.“

“We liked the food and drinks a lot, and our server was nice. What was very disappointing was the hostess. We made these reservations months ago. Once we checked in, hostess asked if inside was ok. I said we preferred outside. We were in Calistoga on a sunny day at 6:30 pm, I didn't want to be inside. She said she has nothing outside. That's it!? I asked how long would a wait be for seats outside, as we did have a reservations and I personally don't like the open seating plan inside (I feel like I'm seated too closely to other and have no privacy). 30 min was her reply. No smile, no I'm sorry, no “would you like to sit at the bar and have a drink until table outside opens up”... nothing... It felt like she didn't care if we stayed or left (which I would have done, if it wasn't for my husband not wanting to make a scene). Maybe she could not accommodate us, but some friendly exchange would have made it better. This kind of unfriendly interaction shaded the entire experience for me, unfortunately. So if you care where you sit make sure you call and specify.“

“Loved the open layout of the restaurant and it was aesthetically pleasing. The food was good. The beet salad was amazing and i loved the orange beets which was like a sweeter taste than the purple one, the texture was like a tomato even. I'd return for the salad alone. Service was good.“
