We visited Goose & Gander on a Sunday night so it wasn't all that busy. Our server, RJ, was very attentive and described the specials. We ordered the tempura fried fava beans he recommended for an appetizer and they were delicious! The cocktails were excellent—some of the best! I had a play on a Margarita which was with spicy pepper and ginger. My husband had a Manhattan. We split the G&G burger and ordered a duck egg on top. (The other option, which is bone marrow on the burger, is also delicious.). For dessert we had bread pudding with a Guinness caramel sauce and Jameson ice cream. All was spectacular!
Somewhat disappointing. Small amts of food for valve and high costs. Food was good but not worth the cost. Service was good. Most of restaurant inside was empty but we did eat early for that area

We have eaten at Goose and Gander three times. Each time the staff is friendly and helpful! The food is delicious and the drinks are creative and delicious as well!! We will be back.
Jason and the team are always welcoming and do a great job. The food and service were excellent. The menu had something for everyone. I loved the Pork Khatsu and the guys in my family are big fans of the burgers. Yum!

Every time I go there, I feel that my experience is very personalized. Everything from the staff to the food to the ambiance is magnificent. My absolutely favorite place to eat in all of Napa. I cannot speak more highly of this amazing restaurant. Goose and Gander is a must-visit for anyone in the area.

I was on a sisters getaway weekend. My sisters had never eaten at Goose & Gander so I recommended we have dinner there. I love the mushroom soup! I started with the soup and they split a wedge salad. Both were delicious. I'm vegetarian so I had the Grilled Cauliflower appetizer for my dinner and my sisters both had the Filet Mignon. Everything was wonderful. We finished the night with a coffee.

Great ambiance. Amazing wine list. Beautiful drinks. It's not pretentious. Some dishes hit better than others but we all left happy and content. Check out that bar downstairs. It's gorgeous

On a trip to Napa valley, we had dinner on Thursday and afterwards booked again for Friday. The bone-in ribeye was generous enough to split for two. Perfect medium rare and sliced in the kitchen. Accompanied by two sides and an appetizer- perfect amount. On Friday, came early and had a cocktail in the basement bar - wonderful atmosphere and fireplace. Then to dinner to have the specialty burgers with the duck egg on top. Will definitely go again next time in St. Helena.

Good and service were great! Bathrooms were very dirty and seemed to be out of order. A nice restaurant should have well lit, clean , useable restrooms. They were absolutely not up to code

We had an exceptional dining experience for our anniversary dinner!! The staff treated us to some top notch Champaign, while wishing us happy anniversary? Our server Anna was friendly and helpful ! The Goose & The Gander is located on a tree lined street in st. Helena in a vintage home with a large inclosed outdoor eating deck and an open front patio! The ambiance is dressy or causal, the food is excellent and a good value!
Came here for dinner on our last night in Napa and I was so glad we came. The service was top notch and the patio seating was very calming and beautiful. Our cocktails were great and my husband got the wings appetizer which were yummy. I had the pasta dish with shrimp and I cleaned the plate clean. My husband loved his burger and we ended our meal with the carrot cake, which was perfect! I can't wait to come back!

We went here to celebrate my husband's birthday and the staff, including the manager, went over the top to give us a wonderful experience! The staff is A++ on service and attentiveness. The food is incredibly delicious and I highly recommend the mushroom soup! It's velvety smooth and oh so delicious! This was our third visit to this restaurant because we love the burgers, soup, and beer; but this birthday experience with the Goose and the Gander is unforgettable.Thanks for making his birthday dinner so special!

Their outdoor dining is really where to be. String lights, and heaters really warm the environment, and make for a really inviting dining experience. The pork ears were delicious, the cocktails were well-crafted, and they had a very impressive wine list. We were told this would be more of a 'tourist-trap', but we decided to check it out anyway, and I'm glad we did!

I ate here for the second time. The first time I got the scallops, which were the best scallops I have had recently. I decided to get the filet the second time, worried I would be bummed I didn't get the delicious scallops. And the filet was AMAZING!! Cocktails are also excellent!!
