"I think in most other towns this restaurant would have garnered a better rating overall, but to me it is just missing the Napa Valley charm that so many other restaurants have. The red wine we ordered was room temperature and not chilled, the tomato bruschetta was mediocre. The gnocchi we had was good, but not great. It feels a bit like a strip center restaurant on the inside and really lacks any character or charm. The staff was very friendly and warm, and in my opinion was the best thing about this place. In my opinion there’s too many great restaurants in the area to go back to this one on a future trip."

Awful place! It had such good reviews my husband and I were so upset with the food and service. The food was not good and it was pricy. The services was terrible. I do not recommend this place.

Very nice restaurant, clean, well-run, attentive staff. I spoke with a man who I believe was the owner and he was exceptional in his level of care and service. I'm not a drinker but they had what seemed to be a nice wine selection too. Food is great! I would highly recommend trying this place out : View menu

Consistently outstanding quality food excellent menu with wide selection. Price point affordable especially for Napa Valley for the quality of food. Service is solid and good sometime a slight wait especially on busy weekends, but worth it. Sitting outside is also a welcome addition since may restaurants in the Valley do not have outside sitting.

We had a reservation but had some extra time after our last winery visit, so we called the restaurant and they were able to accommodate us an hour earlier for our group of 6. We were pleasantly surprised by the lack of corkage fee for the first bottle of local wine. The food was fantastic! The fried pickles were lightly battered and delicious, the meat ravioli was a generous portion and tasty, and the chicken Parmesan special with zucchini was outstanding. We will definitely be returning to dine here again!
