The food was absolutely amazing, the ambiance of the Embassy Suites beautiful! However the restaurant was brightly lit and loud with a live band. Don't get me wrong we loved the band but it was very hard to talk. I ordered a salad, New York Steak and the cheese cake. My husband ordered the clam chowder in a bread bowl ( which was the last one) and his dessert was also substituted. His entree was Risotto Genovese was tasty. The food was delicious and amazing! The service was good - she was the only server for the whole dinning room- so slow but she was working so hard to keep everyone happy. All in all I would go back just for the food ( nice portion sizes and incredibly delicious!!)

Grille 29 was one of our 2024 Napa Restaurant week picks. It's a very nice space with a beautiful bar, chandeliers and windows looking out over a ballroom which was empty tonight but nicely lit with strings of small light blue lights. The lighting in the restaurant was a bit too bright, and the live music was great but a bit loud for easy conversation. The service was a bit slow, but fine overall. But the meal was great! Starters included a mix green salad (which I'm told was fine) or clam chowder in a bread bowl which was very good. My wife's New York steak included risotto and a rich pan sauce. My Risotto Genovese included a surprisingly generous portions of sea scallops, prawns and mussels in a zesty sauce. Desserts included crème brûlée cheesecake and Panna Cotta which were both yummy. We were genuinely surprised at how good this meal was!

I can't say enough about this place! We've lived in Napa for 45 years and used to go here all the time... not sure why we stopped! Fortunately because it was restaurant week, we thought we'd try it again and boy were we impressed! We were greeted by Carol, the bartender, who we totally remembered, and had so much fun reminiscing about the old Embassy suites before Hilton took over. Carol brought us these beautiful menus and kudos whoever designed those! $42 for all of that! Can you believe it? I didn't get a picture of the salad or the bread bowl with clam chowder in it, but I would totally recommend that, and then I would ask for some butter for your bread bowl! Yum! We then met our server, Nathan. I think you can tell by the picture what a nice friendly guy he was! My husband and I both got the New York steak and it was truly the best we've ever had as well! Chef Garcia really knows how to season and serve a medium rare steak! Thank you Chef, hopefully you got our message that we truly loved our dinner and what an incredible chef you are. The panna cota was our favorite dessert. We thought for restaurant week that the servings might be skimpy because of what a good deal you'd be getting... But we couldn't even finish our steak and brought it home! I can't wait to go back. The ambience is pretty stunning inside and out. Our Embassy suites truly is the prettiest one we've ever been to and it's right around the corner from us! Thank you again Nathan! We will see you soon!

If you park in the back, you may have to walk around to the front of the hotel to walk through the lobby through the patio pond to get to Grill 29. The food is good. The entertainment is fabulous

Just ate Thanksgiving dinner at the restaurant. I left a bit confused- the food was excellent, which included single serving beef wellington and well made prime rib, but the service was quite literally the worst I've ever had in the greater Napa Valley, and I'm a local. It took an hour to get food, several orders were not correct, one person didn't get their food for another nearly 15 minutes after that, water was refilled once and only after being requested, no other drink service was offered, and plates were never cleared. This for an over $400 dinner for five people. And, might I add, it was not busy. The server would disappear for lengthy periods of time, and we were left wondering if the $14 mini slice of pumpkin pie was worth it. Needless to say, we will not be returning since there are much better options nearby.

Stayed at the Embassy Suites for 2 nights so ordered a few things here. There doesn't seem to be a full time wait staff so you have to flag someone down or go to the bar to order and charge your room. The calamari starter was fine, good dipping sauce, but more fried veggies than calamari. I then had the chicken sandwich for lunch which was bland and a bit dry/lacking condiments but the French fries were well seasoned and cooked well. Lastly I had the smoked chicken salad for dinner which was more like a soup it had so much dressing in it I couldn't really taste the chicken. And the dessert was the smallest tiramisu I've ever seen- they also brought the wrong meal to my room so had to wait a bit longer. And it's a bit overpriced for the quality

Food is good but the service is nearly absent. I came here the second time, and I just left - no waitress for 20 min on the horizon...

Very average burger. Most of my fries were small bits, maybe from the end of the bag? Terrible lighting. This place is inside the hotel. I wouldn’t visit if I wasn’t at the hotel.
Beautiful restaurant within the hotel, with a great atmosphere. Live music, and the staff are on top of letting you know of the upcoming events. You will most certainly enjoy your meal! Expect to pay that tourist tax being within the hotel, but the food was certainly tasty and there are some reasonably priced items on the menu!

After a full day at the pool and shopping at the outlet, we found ourselves looking for a place to eat at 9pm. Resigned to whatever we could find, we were surprised by Grille 29! The Kid's Cheeseburger was delicious, not dry, but seasoned perfectly! You'll be hard pressed to find anything kid sized with this item ... Mary's Chicken Sandwich was likewise full of flavor, again not your dry, desiccated chicken, there was freshness to this sandwich. The avocado relish was probably prepared fresh immediately prior to garnishing the sandwich ... The Chicken Caesar Salad was crispy and snappy at every bite. Dressing was just right, each portion was not dripping nor with dry spots, this salad was dressed and tossed well. Thanks to Lupe, she was a gracious host and a most attentive server.

I only had the breakfast. Glad it is free with your room because it was not good. Bacon burnt sausage cold. Omelet poor. Pancake overcooked and no flavor. Lots or really good places to eat in Napa. This is not one of

Impossible to find, the signs are terrible and the hotel staff isn't helpful. I'll spend my money elsewhere.

Tasteful restaurant inside the Embassy suites Hotel. Don't expect anything fancy, but what they serve tastes good and is well prepared.
