First time to Fume'.. my father had the rosemary chicken and Cesar Salad. He said it was quite good. I had the beet salad.. it was terrific. Make sure to order the bread, its out of this world. Service was excellent, Ambiance was good. Can't wait to sit outside, looks quite nice but too cold today. Over all great experience!

After a long, rainy day of wine tasting, my party of 7 stopped a Fumé for dinner. I made a reservation beforehand and we were seated right away. Our server (girl with brown bun, I didn't get her name sadly) was great! She was really friendly and efficient and took care of our table the whole night. Appetizers: flash fried calamari, onion rings, fume garden salad - they were all very good! Drinks: We also got the Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon bottle for the table and that was also a good choice. Main: I got the special of the day Braised Lamb Stroganoff. It was so good and a good portion. I had enough to take home for leftovers. Desserts: Apple & Cherry Crisp + A Trio of Creme Brûlée (vanilla was my favorite!) Unfortunately one star off because a male server (dark hair with beard) was unhelpful and sort of rude when we wanted to rearrange the table. He also completely ignored me when I was saying hi as I came in the door. I get that he's not the host but I work in food service too and we're taught to greet customers no matter what. the least he could've said was "the host will be right with you".

3.5 STARS Date: Saturday, March 2nd, 2024 Time: 2pm (tho i think our reservation as at 1:45pm?) Meal: Lunch Party of: 6 *Flash Fried Calamari ($17) *House Made Onion Rings ($10) *Wood Roasted Artichoke ($16) *Willy Bird Ranch Smoked Turkey Sandwich ($19) x2 - one with Bistro Fries, one with Caesar Salad (+$2) *Grilled 1/2 Pound Fume Ground Chuck Burger with Bistro Fries ($18) - with Pepper Jack (+$2) *"No Chuck" Vegetarian Burger ($18) - with Pepper Jack (+$2) and Tomato-Fennel Bisque (+$2) *Margherita Pizza ($23) - with Caggiano Italian Sausage (+$3.50) *Iceberg Wedge ($18) *New York Steak & Fries ($44) *Raspberry-White Chocolate Bread Pudding ($11) *Trio of Creme Brulee ($11) *2019 Experience, Napa Valley ($56 bottle) *Paper Plane ($15) *Irish Coffee - no fresh whipped cream ($12) *Fonseca Bin No 27, Porto ($12) *Coffee ($4) x2 *Double Latte ($7) x2 We were celebrating one of my friends' bdays and he picked this resto for our lunch stop. I believe we were late, but they never gave us a hard. I didn't make the rezzie, but I think it was at 1:45pm. We showed up at 2pm. Food wise, I really enjoyed the wedge salad. The iceberg was crisp and crunchy. There wasn't too much dressing which I appreciated. I'm honestly a simple salad girl, so I like tasting the actual veggies. (I can eat a whole head of plain lettuce with absolutely nothing else.) This may be a little too veggie forward for some who prefer a lot of dressing on their salads. I got the steak frites. The steak was fine. Cooked MR-ish like I asked. You can request A1 as the steak didn't come with a sauce or anything. I dipped it in that from time to time and some mustard the other times. Dessert wise, the trio of brulees was a good way to try different flavors. I'm off drinking for a bit, so I didn't try any of the beverages. Some said the Paper Plane was a little too sweet and not much else. I did order a diet soda that I didn't see on the bill. It was a little flat. I don't think I even finished the one glass. Their coffee was good and they wee on top of the refills. Service wise, our waiter was nice and attentive. Since we were celebrating a bday, they came out with complimentary dessert with candle. Also, they will waive their $15 corkage if you buy one off their menu. Kinda in the middle of nowhere location wise, but not a bad stop if you're looking for a place to eat while heading north of Napa.

About 10 years ago we just happened upon Fume Bistro while driving north. When ever we visit the Napa Valley area we always make it a point to visit Fume Bistro, our favorite restaurant in Napa. We have always enjoyed the food. The service is always fantastic. Thank you Fume Bistro for making it through Covid and for always being there for us to enjoy a superb meal.

This is a restaurant frequented by locals. The brick oven pizza is good, not great, but we ate it all. The Chicken penne was quite good. Super fine dining it ain't. That said, it fills a needed niche, and we will definitely return. Though we had a glass of wine, the mixed drinks looked quite exceptionally good.

Quiet winter day for lunch so really great service and yummy food. Great flavorful seasoned fries, the frittata special was fluffy and salad fresh! They also had a beef stew special that our friend liked. Good fresh food. Great neighborhood go to close by.
We have been here many times over the years. The food and service has always been top notch. First off before I even talk about the food we ordered I want to mention our waiter Jason, we have had him many times and he is a very hard worker and very efficient and professional. Fume is very lucky to have such a good waiter. Now for the food my wife ordered the swordfish special which was delicious and a very generous portion. I ordered the famous pork chop with Au Gratin and was cooked perfectly. We ordered the special appetizer duck confit egg rolls which was to die for, and we shared the pear salad which was perfect, for desert we had the sundae which was light and delicious. As long as chef/ owner Terry is there quality will always be there and we will always return.

Fume never disappoints! Great food and as a fairly regular patron I love that the staff remember me and stop by with a friendly word. We always sit outside, especially on a beautiful day (they have heat lamps for the not so beautiful days). Can't go wrong with the blood orange mimosas. I had the short rib benedict and shared a stack of the lemon ricotta pancakes. Both were perfect and exactly what I had been craving. One of the specials was a lamb hash that my daughter and hubby had. She said the lamb was cooked to perfection; however not well seasoned. Fume is a great place to stop by for Sunday brunch on your way for wine tasting or to head back home to the couch.

Our birthday dinner was great! They even paid attention to the note we made in Open Table about this being a birthday celebration! They surprised us with a complimentary dessert (something most restaurants ignore). We will definitely recommend to others and go there again when we visit Napa.

We popped in right when they opened for lunch. It's hard to pick with all the options in the area, but Fume has a variety of selections and offers a more relaxed vibe than some of the fancier restaurants in the area. When we first arrived, the place was almost empty aside from a few regulars. By the time we left, it was packed full of locals and tourists: a fan favorite for many. Our table of 3 ended up order the fish and chips special, the cheeseburger, braised short rib, and broccoli potato special soup. The soup was thick and flavorful, which tasted great on a slightly colder day in Napa valley. The cheeseburger was exactly what you'd expect from a bistro, flavorful with fresh toppings and very filling. The braised short ribs were on top of a cheesy risotto and it was pretty good. The meat and risotto were both flavorful and paired well together. The service was great and it was overall an enjoyable meal. I'd say the food was good, but nothing special. It's a popular restaurant with a much more reasonable price tag than others, so it's a good pick for a lunch when in the area. The only true negative was that we were sat in a boot near some artwork and there were fruit fly looking bugs on the wall and paintings.

I was taken to Fume for my birthday brunch Sunday Feb 18th. I can't tell you how impressed I was with this hidden treasure. The restaurant was busy and the service was exceptional. I loved the ambiance and the outdoor seating although we had a nice table inside. The food oh my the food will keep me coming back again and again. Thank you for a perfect experience. I was planning my next trip back to Fume on our way home!
