“This is a great spot to stop at while in Napa, the wine list is extensive and the cocktails are fantastic. The family style menu is great to pick and choose what you want to drop on the table and pick at. Sourdough, farm veggies and the oysters were A+, Lamb ribs were decent and the dessert was really good. The best part of our visit was the service provided by Angel the waitress, she did a phenomenal job of tending to the table and helping us with recommendations. Will be back!”

“TLDR: Staff and service is outstanding, food is high quality and creative, & we will be regulars from here on out! We’d been driving around Napa arguing about what we wanted to eat for about 20 minutes prior to this and I’m so happy we randomly drove by this spot and it called to us. (Arrived just after 5:30pm on 2/5/25) Very kid friendly, both the hostess and our waiter were so kind and accommodating. We eat out with our toddler quite often so he’s used to restaurants, but it was super nice to be somewhere where it didn’t feel like an inconvenience to be dining as a family. Would’ve left five stars just for the awesome staff personalities, but it helps that the food was delicious and the service was great! Sat quickly, waters and menus and a highchair were brought out immediately. Our appetizers of a Cesar salad and meatballs came out very fast and super hot. Cesar salad was my favorite, very flavorful and refreshing. Husband enjoyed the meatballs, they came with plenty of sauce and three large pieces of garlic bread (that my toddler devoured promptly). We ordered a pizza to share, I believe it was called the Potato and Pancetta. Great portions to split as a couple, and delicious pizza! The white sauce was one of the best I’ve had, and the potato part sounded weird to me when my husband ordered but it WORKS. Can’t wait to come back!”

“My wife Lisa and I went to multiple wineries during our recent trip to Napa and all had something worthwhile to share, but Darioush stood out for the following reasons:
1. The wine was the best tasting. In many wineries, there’s lots of good wine to sip, but it’s rare to finish all of the samples. At Darioush, the wine was so delicious I couldn’t help finishing every drop. Every single one was fantastic, and we bought bottles of the Viognier and the Shiraz to take home with us.
2. The sommelier, Mark, was one of the friendliest and certainly the most knowledgeable guide we met. He spent lots of time with us, showed us around, and taught us an amazing amount of information. We wanted to tip him, but company policy stated that we couldn’t! The company has high ethics.
3. The owner, Mr. Darioush, is a truly remarkable human being. He accomplished very much with his life, both in Iran (his original home) and in the US (where he had to start from scratch to build his successful business). But he’s not only a good businessman; he’s also an honorable person who does good for others. Though we didn’t have the good fortune of meeting him in person, Mark gave us a beautiful description of him.
We strongly recommend visiting this winery!”

“Ate there for the first time yesterday and can't wait to go back. We're vegetarian but had no trouble finding incredible offerings. The mushroom/leek risotto was the best I've had. The sweet corn tamale appetizers were surprising and flavorful, and the grilled avocado tostados fabulous! On beautiful grounds with fresh produce growing beside the restaurant. Staff was friendly and efficient. Just a great experience!”

We sat outside in a lovely garden area - not rushed - just the perfect amount of time. We loved loved that the winery is family owned! Nice to step away from the giant factory tasting setting. Highly recommend tasting here!”

“Came out from the East Bay for the weekend and was lucky enough to be staying across the street from Joella’s! Needed to grab a quick bite and this place did not disappoint. The chicken sandwich was AMAZING!!! It wasn’t just a basic chicken sandwich that everyone else is trying to do … the ingredients were definitely unique. My boyfriend was celebrating his birthday and the owner gifted us a dessert, an Italian dessert common in his hometown of New Jersey. Definitely never had anything like it. It was nice to see that locals we’re popping up left and right. He’s definitely found a good place to call home and has a loyal following. I think we’re gonna go back tonight for the cheesesteaks.😆”

“5 stars for the ambiance & staff members!!! 2 stars for the finger foods, sorry they were cute and looked good but didn’t taste that great. My friends and I had a lovely time on the 4 course tea train for my birthday. It was all of our first times ever riding the wine train and we enjoyed it, however for the price you pay, you really don’t get your moneys worth (soup, salad, finger/cucumber sandwiches, desserts)and we didn’t even stop to get off the train. Also there really isn’t much to look at fields, a couple stores, construction sites, trailer parks, and few wineries). It’s definitely OVERPRICED! I would do it again if it becomes cheaper though. Maybe offer unlimited wine along with the tea, better food, and something for people celebrating their birthdays. I’m so happy my cousin bought along decorations (vines, rose pedals, 36 lights) to make our area extra cute !!!”

“They know how to and take the time to leave a great impression of their winery. They were most approachable and informative. I admire their reserved description of the Paris blind tasting event which placed CA wines on the world map of admired and celebrated wines. There was no elitist attitude, just great wines. This is the kind of wine and attitude I will support with money.
I truly hope your experience will be as memorable as mine. Even if your experience is less than stellar, the wines by themselves are superb.
Thank you.”

So thank you Cole’s Chop House, and if we ever find ourselves in Napa again we will certainly be back.”

“Great food and service. My only suggestion would be to have a bit more space between the tables and guests. We had a very loud person next to us that was distracting to our table making it hard to communicate. Again minor and not fault of restaurant but good to know if you have an issue with privacy and loud environments.”

“Dear Jack in the Box on Trancas Ave in Napa, We had a terrible earthquake this morning. Hours later, when it was finally light, my daughter and I looked at our trashed home, we decided we needed food and coffee before we could begin the clean up. We had no power and decided to drive somewhere, anywhere, to find food and coffee. The problem was that the power outage and damage extended far beyond our neighborhood, but throughout the city of Napa. Every store, gas station, retailer was closed, many blocked off with yellow security tape. Then, I spotted your restaurant...open...and turned in. A Jack in the Box employee was letting the people in the line of cars know, they only had coffee. For no charge, with cream and sugar and a smile! Your business was damaged too, and in the middle of clean up. Whoever had the idea to provide this service, is my hero for the day! Thank you so much. Katrena Edman”

Burgers • $
“Here from a wine napkins video! This is such a unique spot, Napa is lucky to have this special cuisine so accessible. Everything was really flavorful albeit a touch rich, but the flaky bun soaked all the juices really well.
I got the Xi’An Pork Burger, Asian Spice Chicken Burger, and KongFu Cucumber Salad to share. I would order those three again, it was a good experience to alternate bites between a more savory braised pork which was great with the raw garlic, to the more dry spiced cumin chicken, and the juicy crunchy cucumber. The prices are a little high but the quality is definitely there, so no regrets!
Side notes: I wish they also did strawberry tanghulu… hawthorn is very traditional though! It would be nice to see a dry fried tofu option for vegetarians.”
Deli • $

The restaurant is very clean, the food is flavorful and staff are super friendly and welcoming (especially Sandhu and Amrit). I honestly haven’t had Indian food this delicious since I visited India. I appreciate the long list of vegetarian and vegan options (which can be challenging to find in our area)…every one I have tried has been beyond my expectations. The blends of spices are complex and layered, giving every dish so much flavor. I highly recommend giving my favorite restaurant on in Napa Valley a try! Five stars for certain!”

I’d come back just to see Celeste again and do another tasting with a bigger group. Highly recommend if you’re in Napa and make sure you ask for Celeste!”

We become members because there are great benefits to being a member!”

Benjamin, the tasting room manager molded the perfect atmosphere and tasting menu that highlights the beauty of AO’s collection. I will certainly be back on my next Napa trip, that Toloso is too good!”

“I love this little place. Food and drinks are great. Reminds me of a little tapas bar you'd find in Spain. My favorite is when we get here early and get a table while there is barely anyone in the space. Not long after it starts filling in with standing room only. Highly reccomend!”

“Such an underrated winery. We found Fontanella on Reddit of all places as we were looking for a winery close to the center of Napa & we were very impressed with the tasting + tour.
Marianne made our experience one of a kind with her knowledge of both the winery and its different wines, even allowing us to compare a few different years to experience all flavors.
Thank you so much for an amazing time. We will be back!”

“The team at Robert Craig Winery made it a delightful tasting. The detailed explanation and friendly approach was amazing
The wines... Oh the wines! They are a small but high quality winery, totally worth it. We could not leave without purchasing a bottle.
The place is cozy, they were oriented to detail, and we totally recommend you visiting.”

“This was the last winery we toured while in Napa and it did not disappoint!
Upon entrance in their main building you’re greeted with friendly staff and served a glass of wine (which we ended up buying one of these bottles because it was so good) and were then paired up with two other couples (from NJ and IL) and our host, Simon.
Simon made this tour exceptional! He was friendly, informative and most of all his personality is what made all 6 of wanting to spend the rest of the afternoon there chatting and having fun.
The wines we tasted progressively got better and better. The caves were impressive and learning about the history was great.
After the tour we sat down in their patio which was equally impressive with all the arches with vines growing throughout. It was absolutely beautiful! They served our group our pizza (which they asked what we would like before the tour) and some tater tots with dipping sauce. This food was icing on the cake after the wonderful tour with our outstanding host, Simon.
Yep, we ended up having a few bottles shipped home as we loved this wine so much. Can’t wait for it to arrive.
Highly recommend to tour this winery when in Napa!”

“The best and most flavorful fresh seafood in Napa Valley ! Exceptional service!! Attentive Staff. Great portions. Some of the most tasty cocktails and mock tails not to mention their extensive wine selection. Beautiful front view to the Napa River ! Surrounded by local boutiques. The desserts are to die for !! The mocha chocolate cake decadence in a bite . Crème brûlée so creamy . Award winning crab Louie salad!!”

“Chef Bernardo Ayala (& Chef Ernesto Martínez) are superstars de cuisine!! Every dish we ordered was pure perfection. Our favorite was the Chicken Empanadas. The masa was delicate and rich in flavor. And the arugula, persimmon, pomegranate, pear salad was one of the best salads I’ve had. This is a new favorite of ours that we’ll come back to every time we’re in Napa!”

“We spent some time at The Lincoln Napa on a recent trip to Napa. The food is fantastic, we tried the short rib tacos, Flat Iron medallions, Adobo Chicken wings, Popcorn (oh my! It’s addictive) and the hummus and guac plate (great happy hour menu items). It was so good we had to try the smash burger, and the Entree Salmon (the best!). Their drinks are creative and amazing! We were in Napa for 3 days and had so much fun we visited twice. We will be back!! Thanks for helping make out trip special!”
Steak House • $$
“Great food, service and old school steakhouse atmosphere. It's one of those places that feels like generations have celebrated life's milestones there. The woodwork, photos on the walls, and friendly service create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. I enjoyed a wonderful pre-dinner Old Fashioned. The grilled Artichoke appetizer was awesome. I loved my Filet Mignon. Hubby loved his Rib-Eye. They have a HUGE wine list. So, of course we each enjoyed a lovely glass of Merlot with our dinner. Then we split a great NY cheesecake, for desert. Overall, it was a lovely dinner. We will be returning.”

The tasting featured unique selections that stood out, each paired with artisanal cheeses and to die for fresh house-made focaccia. The staff shared the story behind the winery, adding a personal touch to the experience. It was a relaxed and enjoyable visit, perfect for anyone looking for something a little different in Napa.”

“Great food and service. My only suggestion would be to have a bit more space between the tables and guests. We had a very loud person next to us that was distracting to our table making it hard to communicate. Again minor and not fault of restaurant but good to know if you have an issue with privacy and loud environments.”

“Great new lounge/sports bar spot in the Marriott!! I was looking for a place with the Sunday ticket and South Yard hit the spot.1. South Yard has a lot of TVs and is open early so you can watch your east coast games!2. While the restaurant is outside, they have heaters and fire pits throughout the space for chilly weather or evenings. Dress accordingly!3. Large game area with cornhole, air hockey, and funky play-centric furniture that makes it friendly for kids and adults alike.4. You order via the QR code on your table and then the staff deliver your drinks, food, etc. They have a condiment table with tons of sauces and toppings for your food. The ordering process can be a little wonky (slow, and they ended up having a bunch of receipts for my table and I had to do multiple transactions when closing out) so be patient.5. They have bottomless mimosas and you mix your own - so you can get your preferred proportion of wine and juice. They also have a Bloody Mary bar.6. I have a guilty pleasure for cheap light beers and they had Coors Light for $2 on Sunday. They also offer craft beer on tap/bottle/can and cocktails.7. I had a delicious Lola Farms sausage sandwich with housemade chips. Very good. I also had pretzel bites - the pretzels were good, but, the sauce was some type of beer cheese dip. It wasn't that great - too tangy! Next time I'll try a burger or breakfast sandwich. They looked really good.8. The staff are extremely friendly and gracious. I was checked in on by servers regularly (but not in an annoying way) and they all chatted with me and made me (as a solo diner who loves her football) feel very welcome. Marriott management also checked in, which was nice.Pro-tip: Get there early to get the game of your choice and a good table!I will surely be back!”

“My girlfriend and I wanted some calzone after our long hike and man did this place hit the spot. The young man who greeted us was very attentive and kind even though he was multitasking with other customers and phone calls. Our food came out within the 15 minutes as promised and the cheese stretched just like out of the cartoons. My girlfriend and I both agreed everything down to the crust was flavorful. Quality ingredients and great service. We will be coming back when we visit the area”

Had a fantastic experience at the Hilltop Restaurant thanks to Steph! From the moment we sat down, Steph was super accommodating and really knew the menu inside and out. They made great recommendations and were always there when we needed something.

“Our visit to Blackbird Vineyards was nothing short of extraordinary. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the owner, John, and his wonderful family for creating such an enchanting place. The moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty of the property and the warmth of the welcome we received.
Special thanks to Jeff for hosting us and guiding us through the tasting experience. Jeff's knowledge of wine and Napa Valley is unparalleled. His insights and words of wisdom added so much depth to our visit, making it not just a tasting, but an educational journey through the art of wine.
The wines at Blackbird Vineyards are simply fantastic—complex, lovely, and reflective of the passion and expertise that go into their creation. This is a must-stop if you're visiting Napa!”

“I had an unfortunate experience at Silverado Market & Bakery due to the attitude of the lady at the cash register. My wife, who is on disability, was treated with rudeness, indifference, and what seemed like a lack of empathy. The cashier's demeanor came across as dismissive and, at times, even disrespectful, which is unacceptable in a customer service role.
It's disheartening to encounter such behavior, especially in a place that should prioritize making every customer feel welcome and valued. Customer service plays a crucial role in any establishment, and I strongly recommend better training to ensure that all staff treat guests with kindness, respect, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience overshadowed our visit, and I hope the management takes steps to address these concerns.”

“The food was very tasty and filling. There were a lot of options, but I ended up getting their Huarache con carne. Their service was really nice, the workers were attentive to our needs and checked up on us once in a while, it really made the atmosphere nice and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend to go and visit.”

“Loved and enjoyed the Anarchist Flights so much with my husband that we ended up getting a case sent to our home. The way they blended wines to make it their own is great. The Rose against the machine and Freudian Slip were our top favorites. Also, it fun to chat and learn about the brand and wine history with JP. He was the best and we enjoyed his company and his knowledge. Would highly recommend!”

“I made a reservation online but the host didnt find it so she asked us to have a seat and wait. 20 mins go by and we're ignored so I asked if the wait was much longer, or if I could just order to go. I'm told they dont offer food Togo and then I'm asked for proof of my reservation. (Why didn't you ask me 20 mins ago??) Another 15 mins go by, we finally get lead to the back for a table and the noise was overwhelming!! It's like a huge warehouse and everyone is yelling to be heard. The food okay, not memorable. Great to have a restaurant onsite but driving into town would have been a better choice.”
“Ate there for the first time yesterday and can't wait to go back. We're vegetarian but had no trouble finding incredible offerings. The mushroom/leek risotto was the best I've had. The sweet corn tamale appetizers were surprising and flavorful, and the grilled avocado tostados fabulous! On beautiful grounds with fresh produce growing beside the restaurant. Staff was friendly and efficient. Just a great experience!”
