Don't get me wrong, this place has great potential... And staff is great.. Just not enough of them to go around. Always one person taking orders and making drinks. They are friendly and so the best they can but takes way to long to get a coctail or a quick coffee if there's any line whatsoever.

I love standing in front of a bartender who ignores you and serves three other people before you even though you were the first one waiting. Guy, brown hair, brown beard. Totally oblivious to a customer standing right in front of him only to look up and see the customer at the end of the bar who just walked up. Not to mention I’m a guest at your hotel for 3 nights so you lost out on a bottle sale and it cost you a 1 star review. Amateur hour at the Alba.

I was not impressed with the service at all. The bartender was great but the waitress was rude. The food was okay, but not worth the time.

For this to be in Napa, we expected a more professional level of service and atmosphere. We were a group of roughly 50 people and that was a common sentiment among many of them. Some of us had an adverse reaction to some of the food items and the resolve was to not serve our group food for the rest of our stay. It was very taxing on our support staff, who was supposed to be enjoying this retreat.

Great service by Gaby and the other workers. Really good breakfast cooked the way we like it. Eggs- delicious light and fluffyBacon- soft and delicious.

The lunch and dinner were not good. Food was not seasoned well and not appealing. The salmon was not done. They had some kind of rice pudding that looked like oatmaeal and absolutely no one touched it. The bacon and sausage was not cooked and very limp. I couldn't find one piece that I could eat.

Omg! No server available for over 15 mins being seated. She was so busy talking I don't know who she chatting with. I was so disappointed. Maybe that's why the restaurant was empty and theres only couple people at bat. ZERO STAR OF I COULD.

The wine and the atmosphere were great. The food was disappointing. We had the grazing board which was stale, bland, and complete with a moldy strawberry. The Brussel sprouts were passable, but room temperature, untrimmed, and woody.

So this morning I had the most delightful and delicious breakfast! But it was the service that was exceptional. Her name was Ms. A Joselyn? I would be amiss if I didn’t mention in a world now that has a shortage of staff and often those with limited hospitality skills. It was refreshing to have a well trained server?To the incredible director of Food & Beverage your exceptional oversight and training of your staff is top tier!! Thank you to all the staff in what I shall call a redemptive post pandemic dining experience reset!!
A beautiful dinning experience in the Napa Valley with riverfront outdoor dining. We had breakfast that was delicious and filling. Alba’s servers, especially Mitchell was professional, friendly and responsive to what we need. He did an exceptional job. I recommend visiting Alba while visiting Napa Valley. 5/5 Great Experience.

We had such a wonderful time here! Everyone was so kind and courteous. Abe, Mitchel, and Jess provided the most excellent service we’ve experienced in a long time! They made our stay in Napa extra special and memorable! Thank you!

The burger was made perfectly and fries had the spices on it, wonderful. I had a Paper Airplane drink, great.

Knowing the plethora of available dining in the area, our dining experience at ALBA was like seeing the forest through the trees. Service was comfortable, I felt free to enjoy the space and menu, the space having a modern design while maintaining the welcoming nature of a friendly hearth. like we were dining simply with friends and not in some stuffy restaurant. The menu is well priced and has a pleasant variety. Table dishes that got the group engaged with the evening. Well sized entrees with options for our dietaries and ethics. Finishing with deserts which were classics with in house flare. Could not recommend this experience more for groups of any type trying to get the luxury treatment without spending luxury money. 10/10

Mitchell was an outstanding waiter. Very polite, knowledgeable, and hard working. The food was also delicious. Five star.
