“My family treated me for my birthday at Ad Hoc this past weekend, and it was fantastic. The Buttermilk fried chicken was incredibly moist and flavorful, with perfectly crispy skin. Even my picky eater approved! We also enjoyed the grilled pork chop, which had a tantalizing smoky flavor and paired beautifully with the horseradish cream sauce. The fried ricotta is an absolute must-have; it's irresistibly delicious. While the Pistachio Cake was good, it truly shined when paired with a cup of coffee. The servers provided excellent service from start to finish, making our experience truly enjoyable. We had a wonderful time.“
“Superb atmosphere and food exceeded expectations. Truffle fries were on point crispy and tasty. Burrata with lovely sweet grilled peppers and fresh toasted bread was delicious. Lobster roll had a mild flavor with good consistency. The star was the fresh pesto Fusilli pasta. Perfect texture with a bit of andante. The warm chocolate cookie at the end was perfect. Friendly serving staff. Great outdoor seating to wait for the table to get ready. Only small hiccup was the front desk person said she has checked us in and will let us know to come back when the table is ready but she did not follow up. We waited past our reservation time and then went in to check. She said the table has been ready. Not sure what was going on but that was a bit disappointing. Overall the food was great and good value. I would still go back and be more pro active checking.“
“Basically a Garden of Eden... but better, because this garden has Fried Chicken instead of fruit. Tucked behind "ad hoc," is a gravel path that leads into "addendum" -- admittedly thought it was going to be more hype than anything given the attributions, location, and the ubiquitous category it specialized in... but it turned out to be the most impressively delicious fried chicken ever. Frankly I didn't know fried chicken could be so good -- it wasn't greasy, the inside which was juicy and extremely balanced and seasoned through-and-through, the outside was perfectly crunchy with a good consistency, and the finishing touches of salt and rosemary. The side items faded into the background, including the understandably pricey added-on caviar item that didn't really add to the experience headlined by the fried chicken... although the champagne (that comes with the caviar) did work well with fried chicken. Deceivingly casual, besides the location, the entire no frills service format involving ordering out of one shack, picking up at another (bigger) shack, and self seating at basic picnic tables... great for any kind of party whether single travelers to families.“
“A must when you are in Yountville!!! You can't go wrong here with the food or just grabbing a drink and sitting in their beautiful courtyard area. My drink was so delicious I got the bebop and id you like sweet but refreshing drinks this one is for you! For dinner we all had the halbit and wow that sauce is so delicious but ao unique!! You can tell the ingredients are so fresh and seasonal here. I highly recommend coming here for dinner if you can as the service is also phenomenal!!!“
“Great spot , think more for lunch. Guacamole and jalapeño queso was good served with freshly made tortilla chips. Crispy salmon salad was excellent, salmon cooked perfect. Hamachi salad was pretty good , needed more acid , salad and dressing was on point . Very good service .“
“A small charming restaurant just off the Sonoma square, this lived up to the hype of being on the Michelin list.Upon entering, check out the chalkboard specials - we ended up ordering three dishes from it.Everything was amazing - fresh ingredients, bold flavors. Particular favorite was the scallop, salmon, and uni starter served with daikon radish and micro greens in a light ponzu sauce.The vegetarian risotto was one of the best I’ve tasted, and I almost always order risotto if it’s on the menu. It was the perfect texture, and I would describe it as fresh tasting.Our server recommended the yuzu cheesecake, and it did not disappoint. In hindsight, we should have ordered two.“
“Stoped here with friends for dinner. None of us have ever been here so we went in with open minds and ready to be fed some good food!! So many choices to dine. Inside the restaurant, outside tables or cute yurts that seem to seat about 4 comfortably. Inside is beautiful and rustic. Very comfortable not pretentious. We were given menus but really didn't understand the process until our food server explained that side dishes are served family style in Le Cruset casserole dishes, you just need to pick a couple of proteins to go with them. Our choices: a full loaf of sourdough, fresh picked veggies and their own dip, braised leeks that are meant to be served cold, a whole deboned chicken and a filet of sturgeon. Everything was beyond incredible!! So much flavor!! Everything was extremely fresh. We kept making yum noises and saying OMG after tasting each dish. We couldn't have been happier. All our dishes seemed to compliment each other so well. Our food server was SO KNOWLEDGEABLE...she knew just the right wine to suggest with it and we took her suggestion. She really went ABOVE and BEYOND her job. No I can see whay she was training someone...she really knows the fine art of turning someone's dinner into an experience!! I wish I would have taken pictures but we were too busy eating. 5 stars Charter Oak! You exceeded in all aspects!“
“First time at Mustards Grill, food was definitely a highlight of our trip to the Napa Valley. Husband and I especially enjoyed the crispy calamari. I’m used to having only lime or a dip with calamari, but the salad dressing on the cabbage was bright and flavorful with only a slight curry taste. The famous pork chop did not disappoint, paired with a red cabbage and potatoes. Lamb was tender and cooked perfectly. We had a side of cornbread and a special chocolate cake that was so luscious. Thanks for a nice time!“
“I went to El Dorado for my birthday dinner with my friends We did wine tasting at WALT only 1 min walking distance from El Dorado and we really liked this course. Wine tasting and dinner at nice restaurant was such a good choice! Inside of the restaurant is very spacious and cozy. Only one thing, the grilled salmon which we ordered along with risotto didn't come out at the first time, the our server realized and brought to our table later. Except that, the food was very tasty and we really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. I'm the person who especially love the Sonoma vibe and the restaurant definitely made me feel I'm in the nice and cozy town.“
“If you ever have the opportunity to dine at the Gatehouse Restaurant at the CIA you must! The best and most innovative food you will find. We have dined at Michelin restaurants and this was matching the experience. Our server Abby (student of CIA) was amazing. Personable, knowledgeable and professional.“

“Auberge du Soliel never disappoints. It is pricey, but defiunitely worth it for special occasions. The view out over the Napa Valley is special. The service is top-notch. Everyone works together to provide a fantastic dining experience. The food is always great, and never boring. Everyone who can afford it should make the trip and have a great experience.“
“Our experience at Grace's Table was mostly delightful. The cornbread with lavender honey was a unique and delicious starter. The empanada had a burst of flavors, and the gorgonzola gnocchi featured wonderfully soft and cheesy gnocchi. However, the chocolate cake for dessert was a bit disappointing—dense, dry, and not appetizing. Hence, deducting 1 star for that. Overall, a great dining experience with standout dishes, just a minor hiccup with the dessert.“
“This is my favorite spot for a burger and beer. The food is original and selections outside of the burgers are great too. I could live off the green pepper cheese burger with garlic / sweet potato fries (if I'm feelin froggy then both)“
“We did the Murder Mystery Dinner train and it was a blast. The actors were fun, the servers were very friendly and competent (on a moving train with people in the aisles), the food was great, the wine was good. Almost everyone was dressed up for the 1920s wedding and it added another level to the experience. It's a fun-filled event that I highly recommend to everyone. I would definitely do it again and any of the other options.“
“We were in town for an annual work conference and were very pleased with this restaurant. The location in downtown Napa was great, and there is public parking (on street and free in a public garage) adjacent to the building. It felt like a fun, safe location and the downtown vibe was fun. The food was great - good variety, cooked exactly to our liking and the drinks were SO good! The blood orange margarita was to die for! Our server was very friendly, service was quick and efficient and prices were very reasonable for the quality. Everything was clean, including the restrooms. We will definitely be back next year. Thank you for a great evening!“
“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!“
“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!“
“Great experience last night at this local Sonoma gem! Smallish menu with lots of starters to share and also some regular size entrees as well. The food was amazing. The service was great and friendly. We had a reservation for later in the evening but we called and they were happy to accommodate our request to come in earlier. I love sitting at the front window when we go with friends or sitting at the bar and watching the chef. Nice ambiance, kind of dark and moody with cool art on the walls. To start, we ordered the buratta. It was delicious. Served with pesto, Calabrian chilies and bread. We also ordered the raw oysters and a green goddess salad. For our mains - 3 of us ordered the boneless beef short ribs served with carrots and mashed potatoes and the other guest ordered the shrimp and grits. Needless to say we cleaned our plates! For dessert, we ordered the butterscotch pit de creme and a hot fudge sundae. I highly recommend this restaurant. Perfect location right on the Sonoma Plaza.“
“We were on our way from Napa to Calistoga and decided to stop by St. Helena for some shopping and to grab some breakfast. It was Saturday morning and we got there at about 11 am. We got so lucky because we were able to get seated right away, even though the place was packed. I wouldn't be surprised if there are long wait times, especially on the weekend. I think the fact that it was raining helped us to get seated quickly. So charming inside, absolutely no frills but you can tell by going in that they have that home cooked charm. I was surprised that their menu was large, quite a diner experience. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with fries. The portions were big and I just had half my sandwich and some fries at the diner since I was supposed to be eating light before going to the spa. The sandwich was delicious, simple but done right. Staff was friendly, bathroom was clean. The establishment does not have their own parking, street parking only. I highly recommend this place.“
“I took my friend here on a Tuesday for brunch. We were seated right away. My friend had the waffle with fresh fruit, and homemade whipped cream. I had a wonderful bowl of hot oatmeal garnished with dried fruits and maple syrup. I had the delicious French pressed coffee and heated cream. Good food and reasonable prices. I will return.“
“First time here at this restaurant taste of food was greatService was mediocre we order a 300 dollar bottle wine and the sommelier or server never refills or checks on usWe understand that is a busy property by for the price of everything services areMediocrely“
“Cute little place! Food was quite good. Not as many local wine options, but still good! Crispy rice was pretty good as well as the butter beans. Salad and bread were amazing!!! Best bread and olive oil I’ve ever had, as simple as they are.“
“Elegant, unique, delicious. Worth every dollar. The service is exceptional- professional, timely, attentive. Pleasant dining experience with truly inspired dishes. We have had excellent meals around the world and Press in Mt. Helena is one of the best meals we have enjoyed.“
“Been twice, had their chicken which is so good but this time we tried dishes and they are also amazing. Everything we had was flavorful. Service was exceptional despite how busy they were. The risotto and roasted acorn were our favorite dishes. Tip: Bring your own wine or order their delicious cocktails. Their wine by the glass pours are a little stingy.“
“A culinary event. Sante at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa provides an exceptional culinary experience with a focus on seasonal ingredients sourced from regional producers. The attentive and personable service provided by Shea S., Forest, Johnathan, and Jeremy elevated the dining experience to a whole new level. From the delicious dishes to the warm hospitality and beautiful ambiance. Sante is a must-visit for food enthusiasts looking for a taste of Sonoma's finest offerings. Each dish is a masterpiece, skillfully crafted to perfection and presented like a culinary theater performance. We enjoyed: - - STARTERS: TSAR NICOULAI CAVIAR & CRISPS BUTTER LETTUCE SALAD SWEET POTATO RAVIOLI KOJI MARINATED QUAIL MAINS: MARY'S DRY AGED DUCK BREAST WILD BLACK COD FLANNERY BEEF HANGAR STEAK 24oz PAINTED HILLS PRIME BONE-IN RIBEYE SIDES: DOUBLE GARLIC MASHED POTATOES GRILLED BROCCOLINI DESERTS: Baklava Citrus Cheesecake PB&J Crème Brûlée Spiced Apple Crisp Chocolate & Apricot Sacher Torte“
“We had a really nice time yesterday afternoon. Greg did our wine tasting and was very knowledgeable. Nice relaxed environment & he took his time explaining each wine ?. The tour was nice & informative as well. Would come back again & and recommend to others ?.“
“Food was so delicious!! We had their special Western Fried Chicken Sandwich. Flavor was on point and chicken was juicy and didn't have to much breading. Also got a coffee shake the flavor was great but I was hoping for more of a thick shake. Staff was super friendly and we got our food fairly quickly since they were very busy. We are so glad we finally stopped by but sad it was their last day opened. Prices are reasonable for the price of food these days.“
“My wife and I went to have lunch prior to seeing a performance at the Blue Note. Conveniently located two blocks away from the venue. Menu prices are slightly on the high side but comparable to downtown Napa. Great music, bathrooms were clean, no debris anywhere. The food was good, the waitress was great. However, the only downside is when we were packing up our leftover food to go. The busboy, instead of bringing boxes to the table for us to pack, he took our food and packed it in the kitchen. The problem was I left mashed potatoes on my plate with a piece of chicken. He threw away the potatoes and boxed the chicken. Needless to say, when I got home to eat my leftovers, I was angry the busboy tossed my potatoes. Will I patronize this restaurant again, definitely! Will I let anyone box up my leftovers...definitely NOT!“
“Bomb hotel breakfastThis breakfast is bomb. Somehow this was included in our stay. We tried their farmers platter, breakfast burrito, salmon bagel, omelette, fruit platter, berry smoothie, and granola. One theme was in common - made to order, fresh, and delicious. Try it!“
“We were introduced to Marks the Spot about 10 years ago by some winemakers we met and had a great experience with MTS catering my husband's 40th birthday party. Almost every year since, we have had a party using MTS, and it is consistently fantastic! Our family and friends who typically attend the party always tell us they look forward to the food - and the service is always spectacular. We have had parties with the the food served out of the truck, done more low-key events with the food just delivered to us, and also done a more formal event with passed appetizers and an amazing buffet for dinner - and every single time it is wonderful. You can't go wrong with Marks the Spot!“
“Ali and the staff was so attentive and provided excellent service. They went the extra mile to ensure that me & my loved ones were having a good time. The environment was warm & friendly. Carpe Diem is always my go to place to take my friends when they come to visit me in Napa. The food and the drinks is so delicious, make sure to order their espresso martini's!“
“Cozy, quaint, and comfortable. I knew it would be a positive experience when Aneta welcomed me warmly and continued to provide friendly attentive service despite being extremely busy. She was very helpful with both food and wine recommendations which turned out to be spot on! A delicious salmon dinner and satisfying wine in good company. Highly recommended!“
“Sis and I had a wonderful meal at Napa Sport Steakhouse. The Fritto Misto was huge and delicious. We both had the Salmon which was a tad over, but plentiful and tasty. The star of the restaurant was our sweetest server Patricia. Professional, very attentive and efficient. I'd go back for sure.“
“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.“

“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!!“
“AZ was welcoming and professional. Our breakfast was the most important part of our day. It started with a phenomenal view. Looking from left to right just breath taking. Then you enter into the dinning room... beautiful. Glass from floor to ceiling with a 180 degree view of the vineyard. We enjoyed smoked salmon, corn beef hash (SO YUM) and breakfast sandwich (best with the butter they offer). This Hill Top resultant is available to those staying at Carneros. This was a great start to our day or anyone's day“
“My friend and I enjoyed a Birthday Celebration last night at Layla. I ordered the scallops and was shocked at how flavorful they were - I believe they were the best scallops I have ever had! They service was spot on - and very welcoming. Can't wait for my next visit to Layla.“
“We arrived around 5pm after touring the Castello de Amorosa. To start we had the Shrimp and Pork Potstickers as well as the house smoked bone marrow. The potstickers were delicious. I'd definitely get those again. This was my first time having bone marrow so I didn't know what to expect but it was pretty good. For my entree I had the short smoked salmon. I've never had chard so well cooked. It was absolutely delicious alongside the salmon and potato purée. Our waiter was so personable and attentive. He even listened when we talked about my birthday a few days before and had ice cream brought to the table for dessert. This restaurant is definitely on my list for when I return to Napa.“
“On a recent trip to St. Helena we stayed at the Harvest Inn. The Harvest Table was located on the premises and within walking distance from our room. We had dinner here the first night and breakfast the next two mornings. All meals were very tasty and consisted of locally sourced items. The staff were attentive, friendly and made us feel at home. We loved eating our meals fireside which gave it a cozy vibe. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely come here again.“
“The Compline makes the best burger I’ve ever had, and their duck fat fries are divine. Truly, an exceptional dining experience. We split the burger and the spaghetti carbonara and a few glasses of wine and they were all excellent, as was our waiter Ivan, who was professional, knowledgeable and gracious. We even bought some beautiful bottles of wine (wine we had enjoyed so much with our meal), and they offered them at 50% discount! I really can’t recommend Compline enough, it knocked our socks off.P.S. We also ordered the Escarole salad with celery seed dressing and for me it was possibly the tastiest salad of all time. Highly recommend!!“

“We came here for dinner after a tasting across the street at Jessup Cellars. Everything we chose from the Happy Hour & regular menu was excellent, as were our drinks and wine menu choices. We were a party of 6. Our server was extremely nice, knowledgeable, and helpful.“
