First time trying this restaurant. I ordered the whole trout with and herbed salsa verde and my mom the veal chop. Both were perfectly cooked with great flavor and properly seasoned. Its an a la carte menu. We ordered the pomme with chives. Again, excellent . Great service. Sat outside and were very comfortable. Beautiful setting.

We took our older children to eat here one of whom was in the industry at a Michelin star restaurant and our son in law who went to culinary school. Everyone (Five of us) said it was the best meal of our lives ;0). Two vegetarians, one pescatarian and two meat eaters......ALL of us found it delicious! Service was fabulous too.

It's always a pleasure to come here, especially on my birthday! I was thrilled to see that there was a Chinese menu. I'm local, so I always set my expectations appropriately for Chinese food outside of San Francisco and in a small town in general, but I was honestly very impressed. The waiter we had was a young blonde guy and he was really polite and attentive despite also being very busy himself. My favorite thing that I had on the menu was the cumin lamb noodles. Delightfully earthy with a good numbing spice, and although I could've had it spicier it was still great and balanced. The crispy taro puffs with the xo sauce were excellent also! Everything was quite good as usual. As always, I will return.

My wife and I were visiting from Boston for our 10 year anniversary. The entire staff, front of house and kitchen made this an amazing experience. Mel and the others took such good care of us. The food and service were both top notch and unforgettable. Getting a kitchen tour and meeting Chef Evan was a very nice bonus on top! We visit a lot of Michelin star restaurants around the world, and I don’t say this lightly but it might have been my favorite. If you’re in Napa I’d highly recommend making this one of your stops.

    Everything was just perfect! We had the campfire trout and it was absolutely amazing! The mashed potatoes were honestly from heaven , best we have ever had. The service was excellent, the staff was warm and welcoming and explained the meals and beverage options. It was truly one of our best meal experiences of our month long California trip. Do not miss this Gem.
