A small little viby bistro on Main Street in St Helena is worth a stop. The restaurant is clean and tidy with chill decor. Tables with tablecloth and proper napkins gives this restaurant an upscale feel. The service is quick and friendly. The menu is a nice size and the wine list is as well. The menu confused me a bit with the choices of ravioli, fish and chips, a burger and tacos in the same menu but it kinda worked. The food came out quiclkly and hot. The burger was noshed down quickly as was the fish and chips. The artichoke was a bit wet even though it was grilled. The pumpkin ravioli was tasty but a bit too sweet. The wines we chose were good quality and went well with the food. All in all a good experience. Caution: parking is not that easy to find and you may have to walk a bit.

Great little place for apres tasting. Good reliable food. Not too expensive. Our go to in Napa.
First just a reminder the owner was involved in an accident that unalived an EMPLOYEE because he went drinking with her, a friend and another employee while his now ex wife was at home. And for his Horrible service. Came In with my friend for lunch. I ordered the Alfredo and my friend ordered a salad which she loved. I felt my alfredo was a bit too salty.. didn't even say anything. And I wasn't going to. I didn't really touch the pasta but asked for a box because my husband eats everything. Anyhow, the server asked me if I didn't like the pasta- so I was honest. The server was the owner. And he was offended I didn't care for it. He told me I was wrong because nobody ever complains about the pasta. The only thing wrong is all the spelling mistakes on your menu sir.

We love the food and also the service here. We've been a few times. The avocado salad has a wonderful cilantro dressing. The eggplant parmigiana is my favorite ever. The breading is light and not overpoweringly eggy as so many are. The marinara is delicious! He always gets the Alfredo and it's perfect. Not too greasy. We also got their tiramisu and it has a lovely maple syrup soak that made it delightful. Great place!!

What a gem in a small town St.Helena north of Napa! We had the best salad (avocado salad, sounds “boring” but the baby salad and the dressing were perfect and they didn’t those cheap zero nutrition Romaine/water lettuce), with beautiful dish presentation. Chicken & steak fajitas was great too though they used the worthless lettuce salad on the salad and cheap fatty dressing - should be better for the price of that dish. Also the corn taco should be replaced with regular taco bread. Most friendly and attentive server n bus lady.

Today I finally had the pleasure to try this restaurant! It did NOT disappoint! Cute little restaurant on Main st in St Helena with a great little patio for outside dining. I ordered the chicken tacos with salsa verde & an Avocado salad. The avocado salad was bright, tasty & beautiful. The tacos were out of this world! Fresh, great seasoning & fully satisfying. Israel was my server. He was gracious, helpful, attentive & friendly- I'm looking forward to going back!

All the menu prices have changed and need updated on this app. For example the salmon tacos are $22, not $11.
Great find on our way back from wine tasting. Cute little restaurant with patio & they could seat a party of 4 quickly. Food was good, service was wonderful, some nice wine choices & clean restroom. My lettuce wrapped hamburger was made was fresh crisp lettuce & you couldn't go wrong with the burger & thin crisp hot fries. My friend had the mole chicken enchiladas & she loved them. She is kind of picky about the mole sauce & really liked theirs. Worth a stop if you're headed down Main Street.

We stopped by to have lunch here after a morning of wine tasting on a Wednesday . We were seated immediately as there were a lot of open tables to choose from inside or outside . We tried the burger w/fries , salad with a chicken tostada shell and salad with salmon. The tostada salad was amazing!! And highly recommend as it was light and delicious . It was a very large tostada salad and was unable to finish it all great portions! My husband tried the burger he said it was okay the sauce was overpowering the burger . And lastly the salad with salmon was also a hit! I highly recommend stopping here for lunch in St Helena as it is very close to nearby wineries . The service was excellent we were able to order and eat within the hour which was great for our schedule ! The only issue might be finding parking as there is not parking available and will have to look for parking on the street .

Excellent bougie food. Good variety. Owners/managers are very nice. There goal is to cater to the clients. I particularly enjoy the salads and fish and chips. The fish and chip dish is good but the fish is skimpy. The chips are a solid win. As expected, all is over priced in this area. Very clean. Location is perfect. I am a repeat customer.

Great spot!! Locals swarm here. Last time I went in I knew half the diners. Always a good sign.
